Posted: Tue Sep 25, 2007 3:20 am Post subject: Nathan's Face
Nathan was looking pretty rough and then all of a sudden it looks like he had his face ripped apart. I think that we all know why he looks like that. But how is he looking normal to everyone else? Does he have a new power? Is someone helping him?
I think that he and Peter retrieved by the company after the explosion. I think that Candice fixed Nathans face and that they sent Peter off on a little trip of self discovery.
I have missed ant mention of Angela Petrelli's powers, I'm thinking maybe she is a projectionist and has the ability to project a lasting illusion of regional scope over someone, maybe having done this for Nathan. She seems very keen on having him follow her plan, this may be an aspect of her ability kind of like the quantum physics thing where things only exist if we notice them. She may have "fixed" Nathan to either keep the possibility of his political career alive, or as a motherly thing. Or, maybe this is a power share kind of deal between Peter and Nathan. I'm still trying to figure out how Nathan is still alive in the first place.
I think Nate and Pete share more powers than we thought...
...elaborate, Action.
Oh, and also, the reflection in the mirror looks more like a disfigured Nathan than a disfigured Peter. I paused it and examined the reflection for a great deal of time.
... what the heck could this mean??
I doubt Candice has anything to do with Nathan's appearance; wouldn't she have to be around to keep it up? As for Angela . . . I dunno. I just don't know. They didnt' show that for no reason though; there's more to Nathan's blue study than his missing Peter . . . . Oh, and if you were horribly disfigured with radiation burns, would you be able to grow a beard?
I thought it was supposed to be Peter, based on the hair (on the side that was less damaged), appearing not through any special power, but a combination of Nathan's guilt and a substantial amount of liquor.
Could Linderman still be alive? There was a scene in the opening of the episode, during the montage, that I don't remember happening last season where we see Noah Bennet decking a white haired man with a beard and moustache. Exact profile of Linderman. I couldn't pause it quick enough to get a good glimpse, but I definitely saw white hair, and the facial hair.
EDIT: Nvm, the man's 'stache is actually gray, while the rest of the hair is white.
It's Nathan. There were reports of Adrian Pasdar walking around with that makeup on the set. I'll try to find where I read it.
How and why he looks normal now, I leave to you geniuses to come up with. I'm thinking either plastic surgery (hey, it's TV. supension of disbelief) or he came across another healer somehow.
If you want to go way out on a limb, you could say that that, perhaps, Peter awoke first to see his brother incapacitated. His mother and the Haitian (I'm sticking with my theory ) beside them, Peter begins to mourne, when Angela says "If only Linderman were alive...". Peter remembers a time where he ran across Linderman with his father and Nathan, channels the healing ability, and voila. Half conscious, living Nathan with no more scar-tissue, This is the time when the Haitian mind wipes Peter completely, and erases any memory of Nathan having ever seen Peter alive.
It sort of makes sense, because even after encounters with the Haitian, your memories linger, though they are incredibly fuzzy. We see this with Matt and Ted BOTH remembering the Haitian and the man in horn-rimmed glasses. And the upcoming encounter that West will be mentioning. This is important because Nathan has the impression that Peter is alive. If he saw him alive, but had it erased, it would still linger there like a dream.

But, what the hey, that's just me.
I agree. During the first viewing I though it was Nathan, but after I watched it a few times with multiple pauses it was, to me at least,clearly Peter in the reflection and I took it to mean exactly what you're saying here. A now alcoholic Nathan hallucinating. The reason being that he believes Peter to be dead (even if he won't admit it) and they are using this to represent him wishing he could have died in Peter's place.
Yah I totally thought it was peter without question. I mean he can't get over his death, he most likely would have been at least burned, and he's totally got the ol emo hair, that's Peter. And here's just one more thing, Action, this is a question, not an accusation. Are you implying that it's possible that Nathan is also an empath? And if so, is that what you are agreeing with PK? If so, I'm just asking you......if you think he's an empath.....then does that mean that in FYG you also believe that Sylar had Nathan's empathy? I would liike to say no.....but I'm just wondering if that's your guys' opinion.
Maybe Nathan did see Peter before they somehow went their separate ways. Maybe that's what ol' Pete looked like after exploding. It looks like Nathan is still really hung up over his bro's death, and maybe he's 'seeing' Peter everywhere he looks, and he's seeing the last image he ever saw of his bro.
I agree with Obsidian - it's definitely Adrian Pasdar under all of that makeup.
Now, what this means, I have no idea, but I really like Acidman's theory that Nathan was healed somehow. If that's how Nathan looked at one point, it could explain how he is now able to grow hair on his face now - someone has healed him.
The guy that HRG punches in the preview looks like Linderman, but isn't - and I doubt that Linderman is still alive - Kaito confirms he's dead. However, I really do like the thought that Peter could have channeled Linderman somehow. Either that, or Angela found Nathan's body and used someone she knew to heal him, which means that either there's another healer she knows of, or another empath who has acquired healing.
Furthermore, we already know that those who possess radioactivity dont get hurt by their own ability. In ".07%," Ted didn't have a scratch on him. Theoretically, if Claire looked like how she did at the end of "Company Man," then Ted should have also, but since he didn't, we know that he couldn't get hurt by his power. I know he didn't fully go nuclear, but he was really close to it. Chances are, Peter wouldn't have been burned by the explosion, at all, ESPECIALLY considering that he has Claire's ability. Unless Peter got mindwiped in mid-air by the Haitian (which I 100% doubt) and forgot how to heal, Peter was physically fine after exploding.
