Was i the only one bothered by this?
He know the childs name is Nathan, he knows that Malina only knows him as Nathan, yet he keeps using the name Tommy when he talks to her.
I'm not saying this show was great to begin with, or even good, but it seems like they couldn't even keep track of their own plotlines. No wonder it got cancelled.

Maybe instead of saying it, she should of SANG it - "Tommy can you HEAR ME? Do you Feel me NEAR YOU?"... BWHAHAHA (Heroes Reborn - The MUSICAL!)
shareIf they actually use that idea, I will hunt you down and glare at you through the whole thing!!!

Had a thought about this earlier.
HRG Timeline:
1. Helps name the twins after they're born, just before they're sent to the past.
2. Sees teenaged Nathan a few hours later and spends a few hours (maybe a day) with him and visits Malina.
3. Goes back to the present and meets Nathan in a hospital...and immediately (and forevermore) calls him by a name he's never heard him called before.
4. Writers might want to start paying attention to what's going on in the story.

It felt already fishy when the OP stated it, but boiled down to those steps, it seems even more like an embarrassing oversight by the writers and a hint, that they never really took the universe they created as a reality but always saw it as a vehicle to get their plot points across.
shareSince the reveal that Tommy was baby Nathan, I didn't really think about what each person had been calling him until close to the end of the finale. I'm pretty sure I heard Malina talking to Luke about "Tommy" and not "Nathan." I'm not sure if the in-show explanation would be because that's what Noah was calling him around Malina or if that is the name that Luke knew him as....Or it was just an inconsistency by the writing staff.
shareor was it done by the writers maybe because they knew the audience was used to him as "Tommy," all his 'background' story had been for "Tommy," to suddenly change to "Nathan" may have been jarring (at least to me, I don't think of his name as Nathan at all)
shareIsn't it funny how when a similar situation occurs on The Flash people go bananas because the Flashers use the wrong name?
