They have not seen fit to do this again. I am sad. :(
I was a bit confused by their attempts to noirify technology, like... Nina's old-school rotary telephone (that she mysteriously did not dial rotarily) sitting across the desk from her shiny flatscreen monitor. Hrm.
I think, since Walter was ostensibly telling this to Ella and we were seeing her imaginings of it, that she kind of noirified things to the extent a six-year-old can do it? Or maybe not exactly that, but they mixed modern and retro indiscriminately because they were trying to go for the feel of a child imagining an old guy's story.
Olivia has a nice voice! Who knew!
Not me!
(Although during that whole fake-out I was all, "Okay, you've replaced the batteries now REBOOT! REBOOOOOOOT!")
Hehe, yes!
Yeah, where did THAT come from?
Awesomeville?
Are all hard-boiled detectives contractually obligated to hit on their secretaries?
VERY POSSIBLY. Also, it is Walter telling the story, and, well, we all know Walter has a dirty mind...
I kinda love how Anna Torv kicked the masculinity up to 11 in this one, though.
Heee, yes.
Her partner accused her of "want[ing] to believe," heh!
Tee hee! BTW, did you know Darin Morgan worked on the show for its first season? It's kind of strange that it only got this goofy after he left, though.
