Quick Reaction: 6x15 The French Mistake

Feb 26, 2011 00:14

Such a good episode tonight...you can always count on Ben Edlund to bring the goods.

On this very special occasion, I'm going to go off iPod for my cut-text lyrics (mainly because my iPod chose to play a bunch of epic Radiohead songs on the way home, and as lovely as the songs were, they did not fit with the episode...)

So, on to the episode....

( You may find yourself in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife... )

season 6, quick reaction

Did you notice they filmed all the outdoor "studio" stuff on the Watchman Set? Hee! Recognized it right away. ;)

What bridge did they go over? Someone said Granville, which would be awesome 'cause that's the one we've always come in on. *squee* But maybe it was Cambie? Not sure, even after looking at the video.

Btw, there was another Canada reference. In the alley where Misha is killed there's an ad on the back wall for an O, Canada Clothing Store or something like that. I'll have to grab a cap of it. Hee!

Loved reading your thoughts, as always. There was a lot going on in this one! :D

We just frame-by-framed the bridge scene; it's Cambie for sure. BC Place's under-construction roof and the coloured stacks of the Olympic Village heat recovery system are to the right. Off to the left (at least in HD), you can see the Wall Centre in the distance - that's where VanCon is held. Awesome.

Thanks for clarifying it. :)
I took another look myself and was pretty sure it was Cambie. Didn't quite look right for Granville.

Yeah, I know about the Wall Centre. I've been to both VanCons. ;)

That's the brilliant thing with this show - there were probably tons of little visual gags that I missed the first time though - heck, there were probably visual gags that only meant something to the cast and crew and we'll never understand the joke.

Like Serge being able to dodge bullets? Hahaha...

I think the only thing they filmed off studio was the motel at the end (the 2400) and the footage of Cambie bridge. Everything else was studio or the old Watchman set.

Oh, while you're at the little things: did you see the alpaca-picture next to the wedding-photo? *wipes tears away*

I did! Hilarious! :D
