2×14: Universal Equilibrium

Sam McPherson — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 05:15:01 +0000

In “Jacksonville,” the balancer was a nother building from the general vacinity. But what happened when Walter took Peter over?

2×14: Glyphs Outside the Daycare

Sam McPherson — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 19:26:57 +0000

If you thought the neat apple-shaped worn spot in Walter’s chair was cool, you’re going to love this. The Jacksonville daycare featured in “Jacksonville” had an even better little shot which included not one, not two, but five glyphs. Of course,…

2×14: 5-20-10

Sam McPherson — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 04:59:54 +0000

Why is it that Walter found the combination of 5-20-10 to have some meaning? Probably not because it actually has any within the storyline of the show. The quote was a little throwaway reference to TV nerds like you and…

2×14: Manhatan

Sam McPherson — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 03:06:30 +0000

Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the opening shot of the episode featured one of Fringe’s now-iconic 3D setting titles. But they also noticed that it was the only such title we’ve seen that was misspelled. How could the writers of Fringe,…

2×14: Observer Sighting

Sam McPherson — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 02:31:38 +0000

The Observer popped up once again in “Jacksonville,” this time crossing in front of a firetruck as Olivia and the team arrive at the scene early on in the episode. Don’t you think it’s about time they noticed the Observer…

2×14: Glyph

Sam McPherson — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 03:59:31 +0000

The glyph on tonight’s Fringe was “REVEAL.” To me, this is similar to the glyph for “Snakehead,” which was “HIDDEN.” Means relatively little. However, it possibly refers to the reveal that Olivia experienced at the end of the episode, when she…

2×14: Is that real coffee?

Sam McPherson — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 03:42:19 +0000

The opening scene of tonight’s episode might have confused you a little, and not for the reasons you might think. Yes, I know that the dimensional rift caused the buildings to meld together, along with the people. But that’s not…

2×13: Observer Sighting

Sam McPherson — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 03:47:11 +0000

It’s been common knowledge since “The Bishop Revival” aired that the Observer appeared in the episode outside the diner right before Alfred Hoffman set off selective toxin #2, which killed everyone with brown eyes. But don’t worry, Observer-lovers. The Observer’s…

2×13: Hidden Apple Glyph

Sam McPherson — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 02:43:00 +0000

The eagle-eyed folks over at Fringepedia managed to capture a screenshot from “The Bishop Revival” that honestly made me doubt my powers of observation. The folks who make Fringe often throw in easter eggs to their episodes; that’s no secret. But this…

2×13: Nazi Time Machine

Sam McPherson — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 03:39:21 +0000

“The Bishop Revival” ended with a fairly big twist, in which it was revealed that the Neo-Nazi killer, Alfred Hoffman, wasn’t really a Neo-Nazi at all — he was the real thing, as evidenced by his appearance in an old…
