Next Ep Clue
- I would have to agree -- Talk:August -- that the dragon on the Chinese takeout bag was the NEC for this episode. Dkc 568, 4 December 2009
- - The Lapel pins for sale in the park at the start of August may be the clue too. A Viet Nam Vet had lapel pins. US flag crossed with the South VNam flag, plus a few other pins from SE Asia. One looks like a "Royal Standard" the other, a dragon pin. China was behind that war. The consulate translator had a lapel pin on.. Hmmm??? No lapel pins for 27 episodes - then two shows back-to-back? –DocH– my edits 21:17, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- - Then there is the colorful birdie. In August, Ella Jae wore a shirt with a colorful birdie on it. In the next episode, the refugee child lost her colorful birdie toy on the freighter. The show made a point of Olivia finding it and returning it. –DocH– my edits 21:56, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- Here is a more interesting possibility. In the kitchen where Walter is experimenting with his milkshakes, there is an old tin can of OKASA on the shelf: OKASA Hormo-pharma Berlin. OKASA is an old Power Pill from Germany. Here is a google translation of sections of a german article on Der Spiegel:
- Behind it stands today, but much more, asserts Haimoff, vitamins, minerals, glandular extracts. In the extensive Okasa formula can be found other than vitamins A to E, lecithin and trace elements, including agents from the diencephalon and the gonads of cattle with an overwhelming influence on the intellectual and spiritual condition. The agent should perform a single spark plug starter carburettor function. Until 1938 Okasa contained, among other things, sexual stimulants like yohimbine from leaves and bark of the African Johimbe tree, and as an aphrodisiac, the product has been popular.
- I think this stuff beats the worm... and could well be the clue!--LabGo 00:51, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- - And by the way the image at the center of the tin can is a boat. --LabGo 03:49, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- - I agree that the Okasa glandular extract angle is more interesting. –DocH– my edits 04:28, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
More Hidden Glyphs
- As mentioned in -- Talk:Of Human Action -- there have been some hidden glyphs this season. This time the leaf made an appearance. Right when Olivia shoots Ming Che, look up inside the florescent light. Dkc 568, 9 December 2009
- - I personally don't think the subtle placement of our glyph images means anything to the plot. I think it is just a marketing ploy to generate conversations (not unlike this one) - in order to keep a buzz going about the show. - –DocH– my edits
What Does That Mean?
- Did you notice the phonograph painted on the bridge abutment when they were looking at the bodies that washed ashore?
- - To my eye, that looks more like an old rotary-dial phone, with the receiver to the left --jophan 16:58, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
- - I think your assessment is best. A phonograph has a long swing arm. –DocH– my edits 20:15, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
- Also the sketch of a rocket blasting off on the pay phone Walter was using? Dkc 568, 9 December 2009
- - I missed the phono grafitti when I watched initially (Walter likes old records). I saw the rocket image though. It really jumped out as "focal". I did not see it as a rocket ship at first... it seemed more like a flower spitting out dust/pollen. But now I see the image as more of an old-timey rocket from the 1950's. Maybe it refers to Earthling. –DocH– my edits 21:12, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Red and Green Lights
- In the scene at Fey's house (in Act V) there is a sign in the background with flashing green and red lights...I'm not sure if this is part of the recurring theme or just a coincidence... any thoughts? XxAlv1Nxx 07:03, 20 July 2011 (MST)
