2.02 Night of Desirble Objects

[D-Roc]

Agent Jessup takes an interest in the Hughes' religious items....











..which ties into her research into pattern connections with Biblical text in the season 2 premiere.

Time-error or continuity error:

Mr. Hughes said that his wife and child died 17 years ago – this is corrolated by the news report Amy found inside the Bible, which is dated 18th September 1992. However, the gravestones of Mrs. Hughes and Baby Hughes are dated November 1991. A 1 year difference. Either this is a pretty poor continuity error, or we were looking at alternate realities without realising it.

Mr. Fantasy (song playing at bowling alley)



lyrics:

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar
Make it snappy
Yeah, yeah
Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar
Make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don’t be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn’t have known you all these years

Liv's Number 8

Back in season 1 episode 11 “Bound“, Ella gave Olivia a Magic Ball with the number 8 on it (inset – A). I speculated that 8 could be Olivia’s “lucky number”, and it looks like this was confirmed in “Desirable Objects” when Sam Weiss guessed (knew?) that Olivia was a size 8.

It might be worth keeping an eye out for future “8″ references.

I just noticed, looking at the newspaper article about the deaths: the information is repeated several times, sometimes word-for-word. :O

[D-Roc]

I think it's a prop error but as always with this show, you never know - it could be a subliminal reference to the alternate reality concept.

[Fringified]

I wouldn't doubt it, actually - much of the information is repeated, with slight differences (such as words omitted).... Hmmm....

[Darquel]

I found this as I was rewatching this episode:

As walter was examining Hughes' exhumed wife.
Walter: "...she was incapable of reproducing offspring."



Notice his right eye. It appears normal until he blinks once and turns as above.

Anyone notice any significance?

[Peet]

Isn't this because John Noble has some sort of ocular thing? I forget the details.

It kinda fades after it appears. It scared the jeebus out of me when I noticed it.

Oh, it seems it's already been covered over one of last season's screen caps
