Episode Quotes

Sylar: We're all at war with ourselves; that's what it means to be human. Trick is figuring out how to be on the winning side.

Hiro Nakamura: Ando, why are you so old? [looks in a mirror]
Hiro Nakamura: And why am I so old?
Ando Masahashi: How old do you think you are?
Hiro Nakamura: What are you talking about? I'm ten!

Mohinder Suresh: [voiceover] When the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, strange fascination takes root in the heart. And suddenly, anything is possible. Its power is undeniable; its beauty mesmerizing; its lure biblical; its meaning unknowable. And as quickly as it comes, it disappears, leaving us to dwell on our own insignificance, in the face of God.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (factual errors): Dr. Suresh uses the line "...last total annular eclipse." This is incorrect. An annular eclipse happens when moon is farther away and the edges of the sun can be seen all around the moon. A total eclipse happens when the apparent size of the sun and moon are the same and only the sun's corona is visible. A partial eclipse happens when only part of the moon passes the disk of the sun.
Goof (factual errors): While Angela Petrelli is in a nonresponsive state the medical professionals who tended to her would have closed her eyes, as she is unable to blink them herself. Left open without blinking the eyes would begin to dehydrate within minutes.

Trivia

During Ando and Hiro's discussion of super-heroes, Hiro's cross hand gesture is that of "Ultraman" (1972), the Japanese television series about a superhero who has many high energy, one-on-one battles with monsters on miniature sets.
