Re-Added?[edit]

Well, this article, as well as Adam Faulkner, Jeff Reinhart, and Lynn Denlon have been re-made. The only one that was re-made and re-merged was Lawrence Gordon (Saw). Even though these were ALL voted to be merged, should Lawrence's article be re-made again? Jack Of Hearts | Miss A Turn 02:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eric or Matthews[edit]

parts of the article call him Eric some parts Matthews. That last paragraph of "Eric's Test" was particularly confusing. In generally that whole section to someone who hasn't seen the movie like myself is difficult to follow. Mostly because of the constant switching b/w Matthews and Eric.

Spelling[edit]

Is the last name spelling correct? I could have sworn that when his named was shown written on the ceiling in Saw 2 that it was spelled "Mathews", not "Matthews." 72.14.125.25 23:39, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

His name appears in the credits as "Eric Matthews," but in that scene that you're talking about it's spelled with only one 'T.' I'm not sure if they did that on purpose or if it was a mistake, but the correct way is with two T's.Mechasam 19:48, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heads up[edit]

I added the DVD reference, to the fact that Eric Matthews intended last name was going to be Mason. In the commentary Darren Lynn Bousman reveals that Mason was the name they were going for with Eric. Since it is mentioned in the commentary. Again, just a heads-up. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:36, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Production photos[edit]

Can anyone tell if this is Det. Eric Matthews? Not to sound remorse or anything. But just want to know. Zenlax ^Talk ^{Contributions} ^Signatures 20:12, 17 October 2007 (UTC) Thats his. DeadWood 16:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of Saw Protagonists[edit]

At this point I've already noticed that all the main protagonist have been removed from the Character info bar, only leaving the antagonists. I don't see a valid reason why Matthews should stay as the only protagonist given that he doesn't hold much more value to the Saw series' protagonists that people like Rigg, Adam or Strahm ever had, and the fact that like every other protagonist before and after him, he's on the dead list.
