Notes for Fringe season 1, episode 18, “Midnight“
01:00 Had to check the character of Bob Dunn wasn’t played by Karl Urban, but it’s Richard Short.
22:22 The camera is a Canon ZR-950 MiniDV Camcorder
28:22 Peter’s mystery project stack contains a General Electric Portable TV Radio Combo model 7-7150A
34:52 It was weird to hear Walter offer a “Peek Freen”. I used to live in Southwark, and Peek Freens was an empty biscuit factory, just a ghost name from some industrial past. But looking it up, it seems the brand persisted outside of the UK.
37:41 I don’t think season one has a better line than “You’re definitely hot, but I’m looking for someone with syphilis.”
39:20 The joke isn’t obvious, but when Peter is scanning the nightclub with the thermal camera, the track playing is “Burning Up” by Ladytron.
44:15 Were it me driving the car during a physical altercation, I would immediately slow to a stop rather than simultaneously weaving through traffic while reaching for a tranquilliser gun.
46:02 Can’t identity the double-headed surgical microscope in use. It’s roughly similar to a Leica M680.
47:38 Walter’s VHS player is a Panasonic Omnivision PV-V4022
