Notes for season 1 episode 15, “Blue Code<\/a>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

02:00 The gurning blond is familiar, it’s Robin Lord Taylor who played Penguin on Gotham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

06:16 Flashback Reese casually listens on a Grundig S450DLX to a German Numbers Station<\/a> broadcasting on 17898kHz, presumably as a meditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks after this episode aired in 2012, you could access the WebSDR<\/a> at the University of Twente and scan the radio frequencies for numbers stations<\/a> without having the radio equipment yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12:38 Carter does the “Mission: Impossible” heist exposition. Files are only hard copies, kept in safes that only a specific person has access to. Although presumably they have a backup access method should that person become incapacitated?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14:21 Vargas makes reference to LOS. Which I think I initially misheard as “Elias”. I presume it’s L.O.S. but at no point do you ever find out if that means anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15:30 Having a meeting, with armed participants, and opening with “I’m strongly considering screwing you over” is a bold negotiation strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17:03 Again with the tracking UI where the targets preemptively disappear from a map if there’s a signal interruption?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23:59 Fusco is quite deft in managing to clone an RFID card in a pickpocket style move. Proximity RFID cards are a pretty bad choice for high security doors. But plenty of offices can still be accessed by cloning cards with something like a Flipper<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24:12 Fusco sprays some kind of oil on the CCTV camera, and uses a UV wand to identify which numbers on the keypad had fingerprints on them. And the classic “one number is more smudged” means it was used twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

27:00 The group determines that Reese is “sus”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

34:28 Reese climbs out of a burning car’s trunk, and Carter’s just… standing there? Did she know Reese was in the trunk and did nothing, or does she just like to stand and watch cars burning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

36:38 Another situation in this show where people put themselves in an armed standoff with no chance of success beyond blind luck?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
