 Our easteregg and clues round up for 1.09 “The Dreamscape”.
Too Young to Die

The scene of Mark Young falling to his death was awesome, but like most things it’s been done before. This “Watchmen” comparison visually looks like the closest parallel. “Who will watch the Watchmen?!” Heck, “Who will watch Massive Dynamic”? As we posited a [...]

 
The Good

The opening sequence. Visually and artistically stunning.
The strong and deliberate overarching mythos
Olivia’s dream sequence. Conceptually beautiful and re-establishes some delicious possibilities.
The “Man of science, Man of faith” overtones with Walter and his Bible. I hope to see more spirituality incorporated into Fringe to balance the all of the science and technology. It was also [...]

She is quite literally the woman with an iron fist, the result of a life-saving cancer operation, her bionic arm was created and implanted by the elusive Owner of Massive Dynamic, Dr. William Bell. She owes her life to “Bellie” and Massive Dynamic, in fact, some might argue that she is the very representation of [...]

 
Fringe is not all about fringe science, electro-men and exploding heads. It taps into an idea that corporations govern the direction of the world and make decisions on who lives, who dies and who is expendable - all in the name of science, all because they can. This arrogance was most recently brought into focus when [...]

Peter made a deal with the devil - promising Massive Dynamic a favour in return for the location of INtRPUS’ secret research facility. All because he wanted to pay Olivia back for looking out for him and Walter. But did he really do it for that reason, could there yet be more in this tale than [...]

The Good
1) Excitement, tension and much more danger.
2) The character development of Olivia. We’ve always been fans of Agent Dunham, but adding these personal layers make her worth caring about.
3) INtREPUS. Adding another organisation to rival Massive Dynamic was a master-stroke. It’s good to have another name to add to the list of dubious corporations. More importantly, [...]

Five episodes in and one thing that we do know about Olivia is that she has trust issues - or she should have. You kinda get the feeling that when John Scott told her that he loved her, she hadn’t heard those words for a long time. Clearly, when it came to John, she felt [...]

“Power Hungry” confirmed my speculation regarding how the very dead John Scott was very much alive in Olivia’s head - the synaptic transfer that the pair went through in the pilot episode left a permanent imprint on Olivia’s mind, giving him access to her consciousness and presumably allowing her access to his.
But this is Fringe and very rarely [...]

Slight hints regarding future character arcs - read with discretion.
io9.com recently had the opportunity to interview Massive Dynamic’s Nina Sharp AKA the fantastic Blair Brown:
Did they always want a woman for the face of Massive Dynamic?
They always wanted a woman. JJ is very interesting that way. He always casts strong women of all ages because he’s not [...]

Is that the same ring Nina Sharp was wearing in The Same Old Story, Mr. Fischer?
If this isn’t enough to implicate Massive Dynamic to Fischer’s work, then the Massive Dynamic logo on the poster at Jacob Fischer’s hide-out just about seals it:

Everything seems to be pointing back to Massive Dynamic doesn’t it? Even in their [...]
