Fringe Episode 103 - John Scott

When Nina Sharp takes the mysterious disk back to the Massive Dynamic lab, she asks about the progress they have made with John Scott. The Lab technician states "We finally stabilized the link, and we've been pulling information from the disk for the last 72 hours". Does John have a disk implanted in him as well, or are they just downloading his brain?

Fringe Episode 103 - Next Episode Clue

Fringe Episode 103 - Gun Shot Goof

When Grant Davidson is shot by Matthew Ziegler at the train station, he is shot on the lower-right side of his torso. However, when Olivia catches up to him, the gun shot appears on his upper-left side. Is this a continuity error, or was there a second shooter on the grassy knoll?

Fringe Episode 103 - The Observer

Who is this bald man, and why is he always lurking around. He was last seen at the hospital. Is this the "observer" that JJ mentioned, and that is mentioned in the opening title sequence with the "Observers Are Here" message?

You can see all of The Observer appearances here.

Fringe Episode 103 - Optical Illusions

The two optical illusions that Walter shows to the team are the Rotating Snakes, a peripheral drift illusion, and the Duck-Rabbit Illusion, an example of Gestalt psychology.


Speaking of optical illusions, I noticed this Penrose Triangle, also know as the Impossbile Triangle. Could this be what is on the Leaf Symbol? Imagine The Impossibilities!

Fringe Symbols / Glyphs

Fringepedia, the Fringe Wiki, has a list of all the Fringe symbols / glyphs that have been used on the show and in the viral / ARG. The high-resolution symbols let you see all the interesting detail, and are accompanied by brief explanations, plus some of the Fringe Symbols have videos as well.

Fringe Episode 102 - Walter's Numbers

Walter makes several references to numbers in "The Same Old Story":

• The combination to his garage lock was 31, 41, 59 - the first six digits of Pi (3.14159)
  
  
• Instead of counting sheep, Walter counts out the Fibonacci numbers - 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55
  
  
• Before Peter begins singing "Row Row Row Your Boat", Walter begins reciting more Fibonacci numbers, though out-of-order - 1, 233, 377, 2, 21, 610
  

Fringe Episode 102 - Misc Screenshots

Here are some miscellaneous screenshots: two from Astrid's computer, a piece of evidence, the Claus Penrose bio, a mugshot of 21A, a logo on the wall with the slogan "Pro Patria Et Gloria‎", which translates to "For County And Glory", and some strange neon signs - Peppers, a Clown Hand, and a Dragon.

Fringe Episode 102 - Voces Video

The one way sign on Barclay St, in front of the Massive Dynamic building, has a sticker covering it which reads "Voces Video", which is Latin for "To See Voices" - a clue to the next episode "The Ghost Network".

UPDATE: There has been some interest in the Barclay St. sign also shown in this photo. This is a standard street sign for that area. Here is some info about the Twin Towers depicted on the sign:

The World Trade Center is remembered in Downtown Alliance street signage. The lower Manhattan business and tourism promotional organization, in the early 2000s, installed black and white street signage designed by Cooper Robertson and Partners, as well as new lightposts and area maps.

Fringe Episode 102 - Cultivating Soldiers

As Walter falls asleep to the tune of Row Row Row Your Boat, he flashes back to his work "cultivating" soldiers. They all appear to be clones, maybe of Christopher Penrose? Notice the Massive Dynamic logo on the incubators.

Fringe Episode 102 - The Eyes Have It

These are the images seen through Loraine's eyes, or eye in this case, thanks to the Massive Dynamic Electronic Pulse Camera.

Fringe Episode 102 - The Bald Man

A mysterious bald man is seen standing in the hospital as Broyles, Dunham, Peter, and Walter walk over to see "the grandpa baby". Is the the same man from the Season Previews?

UPDATE: The man is known as The Observer. You can see all of his appearances here.
