The Bullet That Saved the World the Bullet That Saved the World Is the Fourth Episode of the Fifth Season of FRINGE Introduction The Bullet That Saved The World The Bullet That Saved The World is the fourth episode of the fifth season of FRINGE. It first aired on 26 October, 2012. Losing their anonymity in Walter's Lab, the science team is forced to make a bold grab for written technical plans left in a childhood hiding place that Walter remembers. Windmark and Broyles intervene and the team is driven-off with a devastating personal loss. Synopsis Prologue Late at night in a rundown section of Boston, the high-speed trains rattle the cold Season: 5 Episode: 4 Air Date: 26 Oct 12 evening as the drum fires Written by: Alison Schapker keep the locals warm. Directed David Straiton Peter is out and about on by: a special mission - Starring: Main Characters scavenge some fuel by Guest Cast: Georgina Haig as Henrietta Bishop siphoning gas from the Michael Kopsa as Captain Windmark tanks of parked vehicles. Edward Foy as Holden With a small carry can in- Michael Rogers as Mueller Andrew Hedge as Observer Under Bridge hand, the goal is met and H. A. Hunter as Store Clerk Peter starts to leave the Kasey Kieler as Loyalist With Tracker blighted neighborhood. He passes the storefront of a Peter Abrams as Security Tester small business that is still open and notices an old Steve Makaj as Loyalist Commander Jaren Moore as Loyalist Guard #1 collectible in the window... the wind-up mechanical Nathan Dales as Loyalist Guard #2 monkey clapping cymbals calls him inside on a second Graham Myers as Loyalist Guard #3 task for the night. Inside of Thrifty Mon vintage and Sean Baden as Lead Guard collectibles, the proprietor behind the counter greets Noah Beggs as Screaming Loyalist Terrance Leigh as Screaming Loyalist #2 Peter - are you here to barter? Not really, just looking Alan Silverman as Windmark Aide for now. An embroidered pillow and a child's electronic David Thompson as Citizen Observer memory game catch his eye initially, but what Peter Charles Zuckermann as Check Observer really is looking for is... before he can finish his Phillip Mitchell as Checkpoint Loyalist Austin Middleton as Vagrant Boy thought, the Observer that was lingering nearby steps Jordan Schartner as ND Observer forward with the necklace that Peter was thinking Next: An Origin Story about. Before the Observer gets too far into Peter's Previously: The Recordist mental imagery and who the necklace is meant for, Peter randomizes his thinking. You want to read my mind? Let's visualize baseball not Henrietta. Starting to get a little flustered at the psychic intrusion and the potential for giving away the science team, Peter quickly pays for the necklace and egresses the thrift store, hoping to avoid any more attention. The Observer senses that Peter is deliberately confusing his thoughts and follows him out of the shop - why is Peter protecting a young blonde woman? Outside, two Loyalist Enforcers are harassing a local native just across the way. The Observer calls for them to detain Peter - something is not right. Before anyone can make a move, Peter clocks the Observer in the head with the can of fuel and sprints down the street to avoid capture. In a side alley, the two Loyalists find a sewer lid has been removed and assume Peter has escaped underground. Before Peter can quietly slink away, or open fire on his pursuers, a stun grenade is released and lands too close for comfort. In an all-out sprint to save his life and his freedom, Peter makes it just to the edge of the primary blast wave... sending him flying further down the dark steam tunnel. Aaahh!!! ACT I Bleary-eyed and still groggy from the grenade concussion the night before, Peter regains his senses in a vacant lot near the elevated train stanchions. A young vagrant boy is standing over him playing the harmonica and studying the situation. Where am I? The boy points to a storm drain a few feet away - you came out of there, then wanders off with a harmonica tune. Peter's injury has left his shirt stained with blood. ← Secure from intrusion in his campus lab, Walter and Astrid retrieve another Ambered videotape from the back of another long tunnel they have lased through the clear solid mass. This tape appears to be less damaged than their previous extraction efforts and should result in better viewing of the secret plan Walter devised. Walter is frustrated with the length of time it is taking to retrieve each piece of the Ambered puzzle. Astrid reminds him they can't go much faster without causing too much heat damage, then gets to working preparing this tape for viewing. Peter staggers through the main doors to the lab with the bad news from the night before... an Observer read his thoughts faster than he could react to the incursion - and he saw Peter's mental image of Henrietta in the process. Peter is disappointed that he couldn't do more: the Observers are good at what they do and it seems that they are always two steps ahead of the team. How do we beat them? His daughter offers her best sage advice... you beat them one-by-one, starting with a labyrinth of pre-planned thoughts to keep the mind readers preoccupied. It is exhausting, but not impossible. Henrietta has taught others the technique, it just takes a long time to master - and she will teach everyone on the team. Peter shares the only positive outcome from his night on the wild streets of Boston. He lost the auto fuel he was planning on returning with, but he did find a replacement necklace for the one Walter used to upgrade the laser they are using. Henrietta appreciates her father's effort with a big hug - no good deed goes unpunished. Back in the Boston thrift shop where Peter eluded capture, Captain Windmark plays the memory game that Peter was eyeing the night before, while waiting for his consultant from Fringe Division. Phillip Broyles, Chief of the minimalized and under-funded Fringe Division walks through the front door of the business for their meeting. The three-dimensional holographic security footage from Peter's purchase tells Windmark that Bishop was after a string of compound metals bound in links, like a chain. Why? Broyles explains the simplicity of the purchase - you wear it - around your neck. Windmark sees a greater issue, a challenge to his authority... and fugitives on the run who show little fear of that authority. Their confidence suggests that they are well-informed by, and may be receiving protection from, The Resistance. The fact that one of the Loyalist enforcers from Fringe Division failed a security test a few days earlier could mean that the rogue science team has been getting insider information about the actions taken to apprehend them. Broyles is hearing about the security hiccup for the first time and is a bit miffed that he is only finding this out now, well after the incident. In Walter's Lab, the second videotape in the Bishop Family Save The World collection is ready for review. The old recording is in bad shape, but still better than some of the previous recoveries. On the tape, Walter is talking in abstract terms about phenomena, reversibility and measurable effects. One statement holds true with previous recordings... the plan must be followed exactly. On-screen, Walter rolls a stack of large sheet paper and seals it in a protective cylinder. The recording catches Walter digressing to a boyhood memory about train trips to Manhattan he took with his mother. Before the sidebar story gets any farther, the videotape begins to disintegrate inside of the cassette player before Astrid can rescue it. The sentimental story on the video jogs Walter memory - he knows where the cylinder with the grand plan in it is located. The subway platform beneath Newark-Penn Station. He hid things there when he was ten and he is certain that is where the plans will be. Henrietta knows that it will be difficult to retrieve the plans because major access points to Manhattan, like Newark-Penn, have an Observer checkpoint manned with armed Loyalists. She calls-up a security checkpoint camera on her handheld computer to show her mother. Getting into Newark- Penn (Entrada) will be tough. Attacking the heavily guarded bottleneck will be ineffective and even creating a diversion at the checkpoint so they can slip in may not work. They need much more than a diversion. Walter has an idea along those lines and needs to get to a rolling cabinet buried deep in the Amber. Astrid knows better - there is nothing in that cabinet that will help this idea move forward. Walter corrects her - it isn't what is in the cabinet... it is what's under it. Prepare the laser! Once they bore through the Amber and roll away the cabinet. Walter torches through the sealed hatch in the floor of the lab. The stairs down to the subterranean storage area are poorly lit. Walter prepares for the trip down by inhaling Mentholatum through his nose - the rot and decay below may be considerable. The quintet venture below and Walter powers-up the cavern with the master power switch. Not too bad. Olivia is amazed at the collection Walter has amassed - specimens and equipment from all of the Fringe cases they have ever worked. If they need an over-the-top diversion to gain access to Newark-Penn, they'll definitely find it here. Time to create a few Fringe events of their own.

  • Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium
    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University Alexandra Mary Jenkins, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Jared Gardner, Advisor Sean O’Sullivan Robyn Warhol Copyright by Alexandra Mary Jenkins 2014 Abstract Feminist activism in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s harnessed radical social thought and used innovative expressive forms in order to disrupt the “grand perspective” espoused by men in every field (Adorno 206). Feminist student activists often put their own female bodies on display to disrupt the disembodied “objective” thinking that still seemed to dominate the academy. The philosopher Theodor Adorno responded to one such action, the “bared breasts incident,” carried out by his radical students in Germany in 1969, in an essay, “Marginalia to Theory and Praxis.” In that essay, he defends himself against the students’ claim that he proved his lack of relevance to contemporary students when he failed to respond to the spectacle of their liberated bodies. He acknowledged that the protest movements seemed to offer thoughtful people a way “out of their self-isolation,” but ultimately, to replace philosophy with bodily spectacle would mean to miss the “infinitely progressive aspect of the separation of theory and praxis” (259, 266). Lisa Yun Lee argues that this separation continues to animate contemporary feminist debates, and that it is worth returning to Adorno’s reasoning, if we wish to understand women’s particular modes of theoretical ii insight in conversation with “grand perspectives” on cultural theory in the twenty-first century.

  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.

    Reel-to-Real: Intimate Audio Epistolarity During the Vietnam War Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Alan Campbell, B.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Ryan T. Skinner, Advisor Danielle Fosler-Lussier Barry Shank 1 Copyrighted by Matthew Alan Campbell 2019 2 Abstract For members of the United States Armed Forces, communicating with one’s loved ones has taken many forms, employing every available medium from the telegraph to Twitter. My project examines one particular mode of exchange—“audio letters”—during one of the US military’s most trying and traumatic periods, the Vietnam War. By making possible the transmission of the embodied voice, experiential soundscapes, and personalized popular culture to zones generally restricted to purely written or typed correspondence, these recordings enabled forms of romantic, platonic, and familial intimacy beyond that of the written word. More specifically, I will examine the impact of war and its sustained separations on the creative and improvisational use of prosthetic culture, technologies that allow human beings to extend and manipulate aspects of their person beyond their own bodies. Reel-to-reel was part of a constellation of amateur recording technologies, including Super 8mm film, Polaroid photography, and the Kodak slide carousel, which, for the first time, allowed average Americans the ability to capture, reify, and share their life experiences in multiple modalities, resulting in the construction of a set of media-inflected subjectivities (at home) and intimate intersubjectivities developed across spatiotemporal divides.

  • The Stowaway
    Welcome Tell Me A (Shakespeare) Story When I was in college, I did a lot of part-time babysitting. One of my charges, a precocious 5-year-old named Olivia, was the daughter of an English professor of mine. During story time one evening, she chose a children’s book of tales from Shakespeare. While reading A Midsummer Night’s Dream aloud, I mispronounced the name of the fairy queen Titania, and Olivia was quick to correct me. “It’s ti-TAWN-yah,” she said with exasperation. Shakespeare was relatively new to me then. Having come from an underfunded urban public school system to a college where my peers were largely from high-performing schools, I spent a lot of time trying to catch up. I hadn’t expected to find myself challenged by a 5-year-old, however. At the time, I understood Olivia’s early access to Shakespeare to be the privilege of a child born to an academic. But in my role now at CSC, where I constantly preach that Shakespeare is for everyone, why would I draw the line of equity somewhere beyond people of a single-digit age? Because the truth is that a playwright like Shakespeare offers more than a good story or pretty language. Understanding his work brings cultural currency; there are countless references to his work all around us. And a positive experience—especially at an early age, where children are less likely to have preconceptions, and are more receptive to new language— can influence whether a person is fearful of, or looks forward to, future encounters with his work.
