Neat stuff pulled from screencap of TSR final ep...

Post by Jay911 »

I was watching the last episode of TSR just now and caught a glimpse of something on the following brief shot just after the final battle:

The thing that first caught my eye was the latitude and longitude displayed in the upper right. I made some educated guesses and came up with N022°18'35" E114°15'20". (Edit: The last digits in each line are not a 0 and a 6 as I first thought, but an N and an E, for north and east, obviously.) Then I fired up Google Earth. Guess what - that location is an actual street intersection in mainland Hong Kong. :D

Second - the comms channels listed in the lower left.. note channel 2A's alias text. "Perth 1" - I presume this is Kalinin. I always saw his callsign translated to "Pass 1". Anyone got any opinions/other proof on this? I figured his callsign would follow the others and be runic in nature, but I'm not sure that either Pass or Perth is part of that alphabet..

Thank you for sharing.

"Can I help you?, "you know this section is.." she broke off her sentence as the man walked towards her and nodded, "I think you can Captain".
Tessa looked down, "I haven't been called Captain in 4 years," Wha..what do you want?"
He gave her a devious grin, "I'm here to make sure you keep your promise."
