Notes for Fringe season 1, episode 4, “The Arrival“
01:20 The Observer looks through his retro-futuristic binoculars and superimposed on the image is (what appears to be) a bash script for rotating log files on a webserver database. (Implying that the Observer is from some mysterious group of Unix sysadmins?)
03:40 That J. J. Abrams lens flare kicking off in this episode, a few months before the Star Trek movie opened.
13:30 Michael Kelly would later play Mark Snow in Person of Interest.
14:08 We assume the satellite dishes located inside the building aren’t actively being used?
15:00 Olivia’s bedside phone is a VTech 6042 (2006)
15:42 Walter holds a Hilti PD 42 (2008) laser range meter pointed at the object.
15:45 A good clear image of the ugly “inter-agency” homepage, which we now see includes the US Customs Service.
43:05 Peter gets handed a DHS access card. Dramatically-lit headshot aside, this is clearly not a FIPS 201 compliant card as required by HSD 12.
