Did anyone else notice the symbol in this episode? I think there were two instances.

1: the stick in Suresh's Lizard tank is in the form of the Helix.

2: I could swear that the food on the plate that is on the table when Claude steals the cell phone was shaped like a helix.

did anyone else see this?

NICE catch on the Lizard tank, but I think the food plate is a stretch.

One of the guys at heroeswiki found a highres version of the pasta scene.



I think you're right.

I only had a glance, but I thought I saw the Helix in the configuration of icons on Teds laptop.
Anyone get a screen to confirm/refute this?
And good catch on the pasta plate!

Darn Theres So Many Detectives Here

dear oh dear... this is getting to be like the numbers in lost... and they turned out to mean nothing.

Wait, those numbers didn't turn out to be nothing, they are still meaning something. The numbered seats on the plane are the of the ones that have some specific title, the lottery numbers, the codes they have to push every 180 minutes (or whatever it was, sorry it's been too long!)

Unless I'm wrong and they've been completely disbanded somewhere I missed.


Anyway, at first, I didn't agree with the lizard tank, but then noticed the branchings off the stick, very nice find!

ok being a heroes forum, i'll not go into details... but:

all of the none island character interaction is completely co-incidental and the numbers mean nothing. PM me and i will give you details. (this has been in the show).

Also, and I may be looking into this too far, the logo for PrimaTechpaper is in the shape of the Helix, without the cross bars.

Not quite.
If you believe the Lost Experience is at least semi-official, the numbers are explained there.

Underwhelming, though.

The symbol on Heroes is clearly the same thing whenever it pops up in random places. But there is meaning to the symbol or else Jessica's tattoo is really going too far in terms of gimmick for my taste...

the valenzetti equation is the only explaination, but the writers have stated that this will never appear in the show and that TLE has nothing to do with the show.

with regards to the symbol... it may have a meaning... i just hope it doesn't turn out to be an alien symbol... or have anything to do with nanobots. lol

I think you're right!


(screencapture taken from here).

Wow. That's some serious detective work there. I don't think I would have noticed that if it was blatantly in my face.

I really think thats a stretch, because at the top, it wouldn't extend past the "rung", because there are no icons up there.

Wow, nice catch on the tank. That one should be submitted to the Writers Q&A at comicbookresources.com

Thanks for the cap, yoSHie!

As I said, it was only a cursory glance, I thought it was a little strange that his icons would be scattered like that.

Also don't forget not only to look for helixes (helixii?) but for eclipses, too!

I always think theres going to be a hidden symbol in the Hiro-Ando scenes, because
when we are reading the subtitles, we're not looking at the backgrounds etc.

No surprise since Lost is pretty meaningless.

How do you guys find these. Do you watch more than once? Or are you just really attentative. Good finds anyways.

I can't beleive the icons... that's farther than I expected.

The lizard stick is awesome though. Very awesome.

damn, good work on these!
