Notes for season 2 episode 15, “Booked Solid“
00:54 Finch states that the first public mobile phone call was made from the New York Hilton. But it was made on the street, walking away from the hotel. That was the point of the demo: to show mobility.
04:50 “Aggro Push” is probably the most plausible name for a fake gamer-marketed energy drink.
13:00 Finch gives advice to Carter regarding beating a polygraph test. Given Carter is a Police Detective and former Army Interrogator, this seems a little… mansplainy? “It’s just a machine, how smart can it be?”
16:56 knowtionary.com the pretty-good pun name for an in-universe Wikipedia, and unregistered when I checked.
17:58 The fake aviation magazine is called “Roll Pitch Yaw”.
19:55 Finch quickly writes some… javascript to bypass a firewall?
25:50 Reese uses two phones to listen for any elecromagnetic interference in the room, ostensibly to detect a microphone, but might pick up anything giving off EMI.
26:10 You know they’re serious operators, based on the open Pelican 1450 cases filled with random props from previous episodes (including an RF detector and the “Ordos” Toughbook)
30:00 I think the hit squad is moving the dead journalist in a Pelican 1780T.
