Warning! Contains one spoiler for "Operation SLUMBER!"
Thank you.
Okay, I'm coming temporarily out of my self-imposed writer's exile to mess with you guys' heads because, frankly, Tom Warburton has been seriously messing with mine with the numbers conspiracy.
Don't believe that there's a conspiracy going on? Well, I have your proof right here:
Exhibit A: The Main Five
This is the most obvious part of the numbers conspiracy. Numbuhs 1 through 5's real names are connected with their numbers. We all know this, but to refresh your memories, here it is again:
Nigel Uno = "uno" is "one" in Spanish
Hoagie P. Gilligan, Jr. = "Junior" means that he's the second person to have that name
Kuki Sanban = "sanban" is Japanese for "three"
Wallace "Wallabee" Beatles = there were four members of the Beatles
Abigail "Abby" Lincoln = Abraham Lincoln's portrait graces the five dollar bill
Exhibit B: Traitors
Numbuh 30C from "Operation ARCTIC" = As 30C himself pointed out, his number actually translates into 86-degrees farenheit. (Numbuh 5 was right. "Metric stinks.")
Chad = His number was 274. When you add the numbers two, seven, and four together, they equal the number thirteen. (This one wasn't so obvious until someone, I forget who and I'm sorry, mentioned it offhandedly one day.)
Numbuh 12 from "Operation SLUMBER" = She was twelve years old and was going to have to be decomissioned soon so she turned traitor. (This one wasn't as obvious until it hit me upside the head a day after I saw the episode.)
Bizarre, isn't it? I'm constantly going over numbers and names now, trying to find a method to the madness. I am convinced that Tom doesn't pick an important operative's number from a hat.
When a new operative is introduced, pay attention! Constant vigilance! And other Mad Eye Moody quotes to that effect!
