The ‘Key’ to the Missing Clue from Pilot Episode 1.01?

by Roco on November 15, 2008 · 5 comments

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 left), similar to the speculated Phoenician glyph seen on Olivia’s uncles Kayak (inset, bottom middle) and worn as a lapel on David Esterbrook’s jacket (inset, bottom right).

What does it all mean? Who the heck knows, but it could well allude to the idea that Walter has been closely Observed by Creepy Bald Guy (and pals) throughout his 18 years in St. Claire’s.

Could be. Jeff Pinkner said in a recent interview that some clues [from earlier episodes] are yet to be found.

I’m not certain the writing on the key is the same? Although the A sign seems to seal the deal.

If you blow up the key even more and mirror it…you can see that it is numbers and letters. 8536T18 to be exact. Don’t know what it means yet, but will keep my eyes open.

Props to you on that one Scully! I’m not sure what it means either, but I’m sure it will be worth making a note of.
