Notes for season 3 episode 26, “RAM<\/a>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

01:50 As established in the commentary for the pilot, New York doesn’t have dark moody alleyways. But this episode doesn’t care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

02:19 You can tell it’s a flashback as Finch only has two monitors in his Battlestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

03:19 Anthora, drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

04:15 “Tiger Team” is a NASA term for a team of technical experts looking for sources of failure in a system. You did hear the term applied to teams running attack simulations, but these days you’re more likely to hear the military-derived “Red Team” instead. Military jargon has come to dominate computer security in the last couple of decades, which is why you can hear people unironically refer to stages of a computer being hacked as a “cyber kill chain”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

05:00 A glimpse of connectroid.com<\/code>, the Facebook-alike referred to in season two. Casey Siemaszko (from the Back to the Future movies) is playing a character with the name Strickland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

07.47 The fake URL for the security company is a mess: http:\/\/www.strickland&bosche.web.html<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

10:45 The actor playing Daniel Casey is Tim from Jurassic Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22:32 Casey reveals he’s been carrying a Toughbook CF-29 – is the Ordos Laptop?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25:00 When characters are revealed to secretly have British accents, you know they’re on the dark side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

26:11 Finch apparently has the 1949 edition of A Mathematical Theory of Communication<\/a> lying around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

41:10 The machine point of view suggests Finch has chosen to bury Dillinger’s body directly in the line-of-sight of a park surveillance camera?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
