Easteregg: Hidden Audio on Richard Steig’s Tape
JJ. Abrams is the master of hidden mystery, and so it’s only right that the pilot episode of Fringe contained some hidden audio that no-one had noticed..until now! TheMarkedMouse over at Fringe-Forum.com has discovered a piece of hidden audio from Richard Steig’s tape recorder. The audio can be found at the start of the tape, in the scene where Olivia finds the buried tape and rewinds it to the start. When this part of the audio is reversed and slowed down, the following ‘conversation’ can be heard:
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
TheMarkedMouse has also provided a transcript of the audio (Updated):
“Boy! [or Play!] The patient has no tracheal deviation.”
[indecipherable] “on chest and abdomen!”
“Let’s get a C-Spine, Chest, and Head CT”
“Pupil?”
“Um… round?”
So what does this all mean? Sounds to me like an experimentation of some kind. But why did Richard Steig have this on his recorder, and what was his involvement?
It’s worth bearing in mind that hidden content like this can add to the enjoyment of the show for hard-core fans, but probably wont be essentialknowledge if you’re a casual viewer. That’s the beauty of Abrams shows. He always gives something extra for his loyal fans to dig through. If you want a “LOST” comparison for this kind of hidden content, check out the episode “Man of Science, Man of Faith” (among numerous others), in which a seemingly ‘astral projecting’ Walt appears before Shannonsaying something unintelligible, but when his voice is reversed he can be heard saying “Don’t push the button, button bad”.
Let us know if you have any ideas on this first piece of hidden Fringe audio.

Just wanted to share our findings at Fringe-Forum.com regarding the transcript of the recording:
“Boy! [or Play!] The patient has no tracheal deviation.”
[indecipherable] “on chest and abdomen!”
“Let’s get a C-Spine, Chest, and Head CT”
“Pupil?”
“Um… round?”
Thanks for the updated transcript Marked Mouse.
The 2nd line could be: “bruises on chest and abdomen”
Hmm, that sounds about right. Perhaps we can clean up the audio a touch? Hopefully Bri will see this and he’ll lend a hand.
It’s a clip from ER. The voice is George Clooney’s.
Cool, thanks for the heads-up
