Sarah Connor Chronicles

23Aug08

I’ve been watching a show called “The Sarah Connor Chronicles” on hulu.com recently, and it’s an interesting show – not an amazing show, but an interesting one. However, I’m a big fan of the little details, and in the episode I’m currently watching, I noticed something fantastic. It won’t let me embed the clip, so go here and watch at about 25:30.

See the “NOTICE: Do not give anything to prisoners” sign? It’s perfect. A logical thing to have in a visiting room, but also seriously apt for the scene. The prisoner is not really the prisoner – he knows what’s going on (computers take over the world, enslave humans) and the FBI agent is, in reality, a prisoner. When he gives the agent this information…he’s in effect giving something to the prisoner, a tiny little dribble of information…

It’s like the adrenaline shot scene in Pulp Fiction – in one shot, you can see the board games Operation and Life stacked up in the foreground.

I love stuff like this.

EDIT: There’s a fantastic scene in the season one finale of this show, but for some reason it’s not up on Hulu yet. When it shows up, I’ll post the clip.
