 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 [...]

 Easteregg and Clues Round-Up for episode 1.08 “The Equation”.
Red Alert

The green and red dots reappeared in a big way in this episode. They were central to the story-line in which Agent Loeb’s group used green and red flashing lights (A, B) to send their victims into an hypnagogic state. As mentioned, the green and red symbolism [...]

“The Equation” provided yet more evidence of technology hybridizing realities and dreams, hopes and fears, obsessions and possessions. In a poignant scene, Dashiell tells Walter “it was all a bad dream!”, when referring to the experiences the ‘woman’ (Joanne Ostler) implanted into his mind. Throughout the episode we see the same thing happen to young Ben, tantalizing [...]

Here we see a potentially hidden clue on the keys to Walter Bishop’s old institution, St. Claire’s. On the set of keys (inset, top) are markings, or writings, which appear to be similar in type to those that The Observer scribbled in 1.04 “The Arrival” (main picture). Also, the keys appear to have an “A” shaped Aleph (inset, bottom [...]

Easteregg and clues round-up for episode 1.07 “In Which We Meet Mr. Jones”:
Page 47 

Agent Loeb points to some information concerning his findings on page 47, this of course being a major shout-out to one of JJ. Abrams classic TV shows, Alias.
Socks To Be You

There appears to be a curious symbol or glyph on Broyles sock [...]

One thing that strikes me about the Observer is that he doesn’t seem to be very aware of himself. Whether it’s his lack of dignity in the diner, being captured on film at hundreds of Pattern-events, or being jumped from behind by Peter in the woods - he either lacks self-awareness of he doesn’t care that [...]

Courtney over at The Fringe Podcast has made an intriguing connection regarding The Observer. In the above image taken from the first issue of the Fringe comic, a shadowy figure with a top hat, suit and tie can be seen observing the young Walter Bishop and standing next to the elusive William Bell. Could this man [...]

If you’ve been following this blog or the Fringe clues closely, then you’ll know that most of the episodes so far have featured a bright blue light that flashes at various intervals. Since it’s appearance in the Pilot episode I’ve wondered what these blue flashes could mean. Doc Arzt over at the Seeing Patterns blog has offered [...]

Eastereggs and Clues for episode 1.06 “The Cure”.
Heard it on The Grapevine 

On the left, one of Roy McComb’s drawings from “Ghost Network”. Roy’s altered brain overheard the plot to create radioactive weapons - 3 episodes later, his prediction, if you will, came true in the shape of Emily Kramer (right).
UPDATE: Caro in the comments has made a good [...]

Here’s our easteregg and clues round-up for episode 1.05 - “Power Hungry”.
I’ll Be Watching You

The Observer kept up his record of appearing in every episode so far when he stepped out of the elevator just before Joseph Meegar entered. Notice how he’s eyeing up Joseph, indicating that he knows Joseph is the source of the [...]
