International Air Dates:
Czech Republic: March 20, 2008 on Prima (edit) The Symbol:
In this episode, the symbol is revealed by Ando Masahashi to be a combination of two Japanese characters: �� (sai) meaning "great talent" and -^ (yo) meaning "Godsend". It also greatly resembles a segment of RNA, connecting it to the genetic mutation giving the heroes their powers. (edit) New Heroes:
There were no new heroes introduced in this episode. (edit) The business card, with Primatech Paper Company, shows www.primatechpaper.com which is legit. Going there has secrets to see. (edit) Powers Developments:
There were no power developments in this episode. (edit)

Ando: There's security everywhere. Stealing isn't exactly part of Bushido code, you know.
Hiro: It's one antique. If I don't have my powers...this whole museum will explode anyway. It's a good deal for them. (edit) Claire: We�ve been here before. You, me, the video camera. Is it at all familiar?
Zach: What are you doing, auditioning for America�s Next Top Model?
Claire: You made that joke the first time. Look, just keep the camera on me, okay?
Zach: Why don�t you just use a tripod.
Claire: I can�t do this by myself. And I know you can keep a secret, you did. You did until you forgot what it was. (edit) Zach: Hold on a second. I�m sure you told me this before, but, um, why are we videotaping this, whatever this is?
Claire: Actually, I didn�t tell you that before. The first time I did this I did it to show my parents, my real parents. I wanted them to see what I was. I thought they could help me understand. But I don�t think I�m ever gonna meet them. They may not even be alive any more.
Zach: So why do you wanna tape it now?
Claire: For me. So I never forget what I am, no matter what happens to me. Just don�t freak out, okay? (edit) (Narration at the end of the episode)
Mohinder: In the beginning, there was discovery, a confusion of elements, a first snowfall of impossible change. Old lives undone, left behind, strange faces made familiar, new nightmares to challenge sleep, new friends to feel safe with. Only then comes control, the need to impose order onto chaos through determination, through study, through struggle, all in defiance of a thundering truth. They're here, and the earth shudders underfoot.
(edit) Matt: Listen to me, I have no idea how you're pulling this off, but I swear to God, I'm not going to stop until I figure it out... You understand me?
(Mr. Bennet looks Matt in the eyes)
Mr. Bennet: Good luck with that. (edit)

When we first see Sylar (from a shot taken behind H.R.G./Mr. Bennet) he is lying on his right side facing the left wall of his cell. In all subsequent shots he is on his left side facing the right wall. (edit) When Claude holds Peter up to the pole, they are invisible. Coincidentally, the vender next to them was selling The Invisible Man on DVD. (edit) Mr. Bennet hands Suresh his business card, but when the camera points at Suresh's hands, you can see there are two business cards stacked up. (edit) As seen in the card given by Mr. Bennet to Suresh, there is a website called www.primatechpaper.com that is related to the show. In the source code you can clearly see an nbc.com link and a "Heroes" mention. And an strange link on "About us" page.

In fact, it even has the same phone number: 1-800-prima-16 in all the pages. (edit) (After jumping off an oil tower and getting up unharmed.)
Claire: (to camera) This is Claire Bennet, and as far as you know, that was attempt number one.

This is a reference to the first episode when she first jumped off the oil tower. The difference being that this time, since Zach memory has been erased, she stated it as being attempt number one whereas last time it was the sixth attempt. (edit)

Claude: Fantastic!

This line (with that magnificent accent) was also a catchphrase for Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor in Doctor Who (2005). (edit)

Ando: There's security everywhere. Stealing isn't exactly part of Bushido code, you know.

Bushido means "the way of the warrior". It's a non-written code of honor for the samurais, the warrior class of old Japan. To follow the bushido means loyalty, self sacrifice, justice, polite ways, martial spirit, honor and above all, die with dignity. (edit) "Claude" the name of Christopher Eccleston's character who is introduced in this episode, is an allusion/homage to the actor Claude Raines. Raines played the lead in the original 1933 film version of H.G. Wells' The Invisible Man. Eccleston's character, of course, has the power to become invisible. (edit)
