Notes for season 4 episode 6, “Pretenders“
05:51 “Are you eating something near my computer?”
06:41 Shaw checks if Walter has a registered firearm. Prior to 2012 gun permits were public records. There was a website launched in 2010, Who’s Packing? NY which allowed searches of this data.
07:56 Reese stands next to a poster for “Chocolate Vortex”, which I assume is a fake business created for the show?
10:21 A brief shot of the Dell 2009W.
15:30 Finch suggest Shaw check “The Cloud”, and mentions “Tweets”. I think this is the first implicit reference to Twitter, which is what X.com was known as in 2014.
17:23 The tag line for Friendczar is “You are what your friends are.”
18:14 You can tell it’s a Dark Net black market site by the green OCR-A on a black background.
21:26 Walter notices a “police scanner”, in a room at the police station. It’s a Uniden Bearcat BC355N scanner.
27:09 The receptionist at Ricardo’s office sits behind a Dell 2009W.
30:54 Finch knocks a guy off a moped with an umbrella, like John Steed.
41:54 Finch was just just flirting with Bridges to get access to her laptop and Evil Maid it. Stone cold.
