Post and discuss your favorite line(s) and scene(s) from Chapter 5: Tabula Rasa

Peter teleporting into the bathroom.

"Call me Nathan."

"Your ability is a part of who you are. It isn't a light switch."

So simple and yet so deep on so many levels.

"I read lips. Yours move differently."

And the nurse threatening Hiro with a leash, a cage AND a cattle prod.

Last scene, Hiro looking in at Charlie.

My heart melted.

It's a weird thing to point out, but this was the first time we've ever heard Peter laugh on the show. And what a moment. *huahuahua* But thinking of it, that laugh was probably the most natural reaction to being shot and rather unexpectedly becoming whole again in a matter of seconds - it happens on TV all the time and the reaction is usually a lot less dramatic in nature, but this feels refreshingly like what would probably happen.

Sylar requesting to be called Nathan. So totally unexpected. Nice one.

Sylar in the mirror cabinet (is that what you call it?) Great scene.

And the kid who played Jeremy - he did really, really well. Must be tough for such a young actor to play such a completely messed up kid believably, but I totally believed it. Kudos.

I agree!


really tho.. so many quotables in this episode, ima rewatch it tonite and write some down.

it's been a while since i teleported

Peter's laugh

Peter's laugh, definitely.

Also, Samuel said something about "Unleashing the lion", in reference to Sylar. The way he said "lion" just made me crack up XD Maybe I'm crazy, I dunno.

I liked the scene when Peter got shot, I was expecting he would just stop the bullet but he still wasnt used to that power again and loved when they revealed the bullet went through.

Its also good to see Peter happy again, and not always have to be so serious or tense

I agree about Peter's laugh. It made me want to laugh. And thanks for pointing out we hadn't heard Peter laugh, that explains like something seemed a little off in that scene(but not in a bad way). That just makes it all the more special.

The entire scene of Peter getting shot and that GREAT slow reveal of what actually happened frozen in time as he stepped out of the blood spatters, and especially him literally laughing off death. MADE OF WIN. My second favorite scene of the entire series so far (especially because I knew he'd be fine with Linderman boy right there).

#1 - Peter talking to God and kneeling in the church, Into Asylum (a scene Milo helped write with Joe Pokaski)

#2 - Peter laughing off death, Tabula Rasa (Rob Fresco)

#3 - The moment on the roof that Peter realized he was levitating and it was all real, Don't Look Back (Tim Kring believe it or not)

Great montage in the mirrors of Sylar's murders. I bet it was fun to go back and get old head slicing shots.
