The Subliminal Tylers
Before the Narrator actually \"meets\" Tyler, he sees him in brief, one-frame flashes, representing Tyler\'s development in his mind. Below is a list of these appearances.
- Tyler is standing in front of the copier at the Narrator\'s company, as the Narrator says, \"Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy.\"
- When the Narrator goes to the doctor for his insomnia, Tyler appears as the doctor tells him to go to the testicular cancer support group. As the doctor says, \"That\'s pain,\" Tyler is standing just over his shoulder, laughing.

- Tyler is riding down an escalator as the Narrator is riding up in an airport.

Kevin asks, \"...what are your thoughts on why the bullet killed Tyler but not the Narrator? My own theory is that Tyler was destroyed because the Narrator hit bottom when he...
