Notes for Fringe season 1, episode 16, “Unleashed“
00:27 Peter calling a landline like an old person?
02:12 We see someone else with a Samsung i617 BlackJack II
07:30 The lock-pick gun is name-checked as a Brockhage.
17:45 Somehow neither the word Chimera or Manticore is used in this episode, despite tapping into these mythological beast stories.
24:40 The ultrasound machine is a Diasonics Specta Plus. Walter requests “ten times magnification”, but ultrasounds aren’t optical. Images can be zoomed into but, like a phone digital zoom, this doesn’t increase the quality of the image.
30:25 Astrid prints out a sewer schematic on slightly translucent paper so that they can lay it on top of a map. I guess it’s something visual for the actors to do, but it’s 2009, they’ve already established they have access to advanced GIS imagery, why not just look at this on a computer?
32:27 I guess there’s some deliberate reason a character shares a name with (satirist/parliamentarian) Johnathan Swift?
