Somebody on Twitter was trying to claim that 9-1-1 didn't exist until 2001, so they wouldn't have been using it in 1982. Um, no--it was definitely around when I was in the U.S. as a kid in the 70s. And I just checked--it started in 1968.
Whaaaaat? Like they thought it was invented after the 9/11 attacks? Yeah, they even used to have that show "Rescue, 911" on TV too.
Katia and I were talking about the title of this episode back when it was first announced, whether it was meant to be "The Walk-In" (i.e. someone who walks in) or "The Walk In" (i.e. the journey by foot inside). I actually think it's meant to be both. The obvious reference is to the actual guy who walked into the Rezidentura last week, but this episode wasn't really about him. And "the walk in" could refer to this being the flashback episode that showed us a bit of how it all began.
One of the review sites pointed out it also has lots of people literally "walking in." (I take no credit for this geeky bit of cleverness, much as I wish I could.) Bruce Dameron into the Rezidentura (well, that was last episode), then Paige walking in to her Aunt Helen's house, and also Elizabeth walking in to the Connors' house, all uninvited and unexpected, and affecting the course of things in doing so.
I could not be more impressed with the attention to all the little details on this show.
