The box tells me nothing!
Which, of course, is kinda unfair. Give me a passport and a plane ticket and I can discover all sorts of things about anybody. Seriously. I can probably have your life story in hours.
The passport would be particularly useful, wouldn't it?
If the plane ticket can be linked to CC information - well that would also be very telling.
But would Amnesiac Peter know that?
And why doesn't somebody just suggest that they google his name?
Maybe modify to say USA or New York (if that was the origin of the flight.)
And why doesn't somebody just suggest that they google his name?
Are you suggesting they have Google in Ireland? Crazy talk.
or heaven forbid that they not have internet, there are a few US embassies in Europe, right? Go to one. With the passport.
And why doesn't somebody just suggest that they google his name?
Which they probably would or will. But that's not what Peter was looking for. Peter was hoping for an instant emotional connection with the information in the box. Which was an unreasonable hope, but kind of understandable. He knows his name, but that means nothing to him right now. And now they have another mystery in front of them, and it allows Peter to avoid finding out more about who he is (or at least, not go directly looking for that information.) Because he has a deep-seated fear of uncovering his past. Something happened (The explosion? What came after? The Nightmare Man?) and all he knows is that he desperately doesn't want to face it again.
I finally watched the show last night, but oddly I have nothing to add to the conversation except that Mohinder will always be A TOOL, and I am IN LOVE with Nathan this season. How the hell did that happen?
Mohinder can't help that he's a box of hair. If eleven year old Molly was not in a coma, she could have provided the common sense both Mohinder and Matt lack.
One thing that cracks me up is Molly wearing makeup that is WAY too mature and trashy for her. You know a little girl in a My Two Dads situation would completely be able to take advantage in that way—it would be a "girly thing" that neither of them knows about or is comfortable setting limits for.
