Notes for season 3 episode 11, “Lethe<\/a>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

04:01 I don’t know if “False Gods: Pseudepigrapha in the Modern Age”, but pseudepigrapha relates to the misattribution of works – which the show is full of (for example the false attribution of the source of the Machine’s intel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

05:54 If I were to guess, I’d say that “Runyon Technology” is a reference to writer Damon Runyon’s avoidance of past and future tense, similar to both the Machine’s perception of time and also Claypool’s confused state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

06:15 Medical records suggest Arthur Claypool is 52, but the actor Saul Rubinek is clearly older than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19:08 The subtitles refer to “N.A.N.D. gates”, but it’s not an acronym as such, it’s short for “Not AND” (or “Negated AND”).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21:45 Back of a Dell 2009W monitor. Drink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

26:50 1979 Finch uses a 1960s\u00a0Cap’n Crunch Bo’sun Whistle, a cereal box toy capable of producing a 2600 Hz tone, which phone phreaks used to obtain free long distance calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

27:40 Claypool doesn’t get a yellow reticule, but we later know that he’s aware of the Machine by inference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

34:10 1979 Finch mentions that “they’re building a computer network right now that’s going to connect all the universities in the country”, and while we understand he’s speaking of the Internet, the expansion of the existing (military and defence research network) ARPANET to more universities (as NSFNET) wouldn’t begin until the ’80s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
