Review

This first portion was rather short, about 3 minutes, but I liked it and the related graphic novel was cool. I'm beginning to wonder if Rachel is just reliving what happened 12 hours or go, or if Angela is using her ability to have a dream. Might Angela's ability actually be the same as Sanjog's? I'm guessing we're going to find out rather soon...--MiamiVolts (talk) 18:15, 16 December 2008 (EST)

My thoughts

Any one think that the explosion that happened was actually them at pinehearst? and it happened when flint blew up the formula? Or is it possible that this was suppossed to be obvious and I didnt pick up on it quickly? Also, did rachel ever inject the formula, or did use a power she had previously? she didnt seemed to surprised when she teleported.--Alchemist (talk) 14:46, 17 December 2008 (EST)

• I think there was a BTS video where they said it was the same explosion at Pinehearst, and now "we get to see what happens to the rest of the Marines" or something like that. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:56, 17 December 2008 (EST)
  • Yeah, it's the Behind the Scenes video for Part 1 that says that.--MiamiVolts (talk) 19:04, 17 December 2008 (EST)

Rachel's power

• On Scott's page,it saids that he was the only Marine that recieved the formula so I guess that Rachel's power is natulal.SPARTAN-077 17:48, 17 December 2008 (EST)
  • No, Scott's page needs to be updated since we don't know that. Though I thought there was a line in Dual that said a dozen soldiers were being injected right then. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:56, 17 December 2008 (EST)
    • I think the line was that a dozen soldiers were being prepared to receive an injection. However, Ryan is right that we don't know if anyone else got injected. Regarding Rachel, as far as we know she manifested without an injection.--MiamiVolts (talk) 19:03, 17 December 2008 (EST)
      • In this webisode they referred to "When the times comes," of them getting injected. None of them had been injected yet, so the ability is natural. Also, in "Dual," it did say that at first, that more marines were being prepared for injection, but later Scott says Tracy was worried Nathan hadn't returned so postponed this. Super-Hiro

Part or Chapter?

• I thought its "Chapter" instead of "Part".--NiveKJ13 (talk2me) 15:22, 18 December 2008 (EST)
  • Both terms have been used, so they are interchangeable but we are being consistent in using part.--MiamiVolts (talk) 15:47, 18 December 2008 (EST)

Injected, or inhaled?

• I understand that in all previous forms of the formula, it is injected, but if you watch Mohinder when he lands in it, it enters through his mouth. Is it possible to say (theorize) that the formula need not be injected? Following the Mohindy example, it might be possible that everyone there inhaled a gaseous form of the formula. Anomy 16:20, 18 December 2008 (EST)
  • It's also possible that it just needed to be physically rubbed on his body and he never ingested it orally. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:24, 18 December 2008 (EST)
  • True, but that doesn't really help for Rachel's new ability. NOTE: Before any body questions as to why she didn't spasm like the injected on did, note that Mohindy didn't either, and also note that this is not a physical ability like the injected dudes was. Anomy 16:26, 18 December 2008 (EST)
    • I don't think there is any evidence yet, that Rachel was injected. It is just as possible that she is a natural evolved human who just manifested the first time in this webisode, since we know eclipses caused many of our first-season folks to manifest, and an eclipse had just happened. At this point, we can't confirm where Rachel's Teleport ability came from. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 12/18/2008 16:29 (EST)

Old vs New formula

Anyone else think that the 'unauthorized' version of the formula Angela accuses Rachel of stealing is Mohinder's /an un-catalyzed version? That really seemed to pop out at me when i watched this, plus the fact that they found it in a lower lab (not mohindy's since that was in the process of blowing up) makes me think it may have been one of his earlier attempts.

Also for the record, I think Rachel's ability is natural. Her ability manifested itself in an adrenaline-pumping situation, as we've seen many of our original heroes do. Also, as someone above mentioned, there WAS an eclipse just a short while ago....Thelink 08:40, 19 December 2008 (EST)
