Production

"California magazine" Should this be wikilinked?
It just redirects to the article for University of California, Berkeley, not sure if that's worth the link since there's no content about the magazine there. GRAPPLE X 19:50, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Has there been confirmation by anyone, ever, that Barnett put a bomb in the locker?

I never even considered that when watching the episode because it makes no sense. Bombs don't tick. The implication of the ticking (if you think it was a bomb) would be that it was a time bomb - which, again, would make no sense, if the bomb is there as some kind of precaution.

The ticking was meant to represent a metaphorical time bomb - the research, that was hiding there in the locker awaiting its eventual discovery. The VO narration confirms this, talking about Barnett from beyond the grave and so on. Or maybe I watched it wrong, I dunno. But the suggestion that it's a literal bomb in there seems ludicrous to me, given we hear a distinct ticking sound and the kind of bomb associated (incorrectly) with ticking in pop culture wouldn't make sense for that purpose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:D:C600:750:2144:1B32:2E79:EE39 (talk) 18:40, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
