Notes for Fringe season 1, episode 15, “Inner Child“
05:09 Back in 2009 people shared memes over fax? (The machine is a HP 1050 fax)
08:30 “Unless you have an IQ higher than mine, I’m not interested in what you think.” The writers are clearly framing IQ dick-measuring as arrogance, but still continuing to seeding the idea that pure IQ is always more valuable than domain expertise.
09:02 Despite being named in the script that character Sam Gilmore is credited as “Tattoo Girl”, portrayed by Alicia Goranson – Becky from Roseanne.
17:22 Worse than “Tattoo Girl”, the character Kate Harper is credited as “Heavy Set Woman”, which actress Carrie Keranen (the voice of Lavenza in Persona 5) is very much not.
27 The child has constructed an arrow shape from 49 yellow M&Ms . Given there are 6 colours, and around 50 per packet, the child has presumably eaten the equivalent of 5 and a half regular-sized packets of M&Ms to leave the remainder on the tray.
29:24 We get a view of one of the random devices in the lab, a “Coulborn Instruments Precision Regulated Animal Shocker”.
32:10 The writers are seeding the suggestion of Peter’s memories being slightly off. Peter remembers that the GI Joe figure Roadblock (from 1984) had a scar on, presumably, his left side. Although the prop used is probably the 25th anniversary version of the figure that, I think, doesn’t have a scar at all?
