An unofficial companion to Fringe
Glyphs, easter eggs, buried clues, behind-the-scenes videos, thematic connections, and more, catalogued episode by episode with screenshots and timestamps.
Connection
Fauxlivia studied old Fringe cases for intel in "The Box", including Olivia's taped testimony from "Dream Logic".
Item of interest
Madison Square Garden in the Redverse is quarantined in amber.
Apple glyph
The apple glyph can be seen on the backrest of a chair in the lab.
Connection
William Bell had a bell on his desk in "There's More Than One of Everything" and rang it after he introduced himself to Olivia. He left a similar bell to Nina in his will in "The Box".
Item of interest
Who did the Observer say was "still alive," Peter or Walter?
Frog glyph
The frog glyph can be seen on a door in the pocket universe.
Connection
Olivia had a horse-riding ribbon in Nina's old photograph in "Novation". Nina rode horses herself in "The Cure" so it stands to reason that Olivia would have done so as well in the timeline where she was raised by Nina.
Item of interest
The episode opened in "Manhatan", seemingly a typo but actually signifying this was an alternate Manhattan.
Butterfly glyph
A butterfly can be seen attacking Mark Young.
Connection
Walter had the Cortexiphan subjects stand in a circle around him to activate their abilities in "Over There (Part 1)" just like he did when they were children in "Subject 13".
Item of interest
When Walter explains that his red/blue lensed glasses were created by his friend from Washington, Doctor Jacoby, he's referencing the television show 'Twin Peaks' which also had an eccentric man of science, Doctor Jacoby, who wore red/blue lensed glasses very similar to Walter's.
Seahorse glyph
A seahorse can be seen hanging from the taxi when Walter listens to music.
Connection
Olivia's therapist in "Nothing as it Seems" is the same one she had when she was trapped on the other side in "Olivia".
Item of interest
Bell stole Walter's David Bowie album 'The Man Who Sold the World', which describes what Bell did multiple times for his own benefit.
Butterfly glyph
Butterflies can be seen in Etta's apartment.
Connection
An ambering device, first (nearly) used by the Blueverse Fringe team in "6B", was seen in Walter's storage vault in "The Bullet that Saved the World".
Item of interest
William Bell's name is partially faded/scratched off of the door to the lab.
Seahorse glyph
A seahorse can be seen on the Bishops' refrigerator.
Connection
When Peter left the hospital in "The Last Sam Weiss" he wrote "I am going home" on an envelope, the same phrase he wrote for Elizabeth in "Subject 13" when he tried to return to his home world.
Item of interest
The green and yellow posters in the diner represent how this new timeline with the yellow/amber title sequence is starting to merge with the original timeline with the blue title sequence now that Peter has returned (blue + yellow = green).
Flower glyph
The flower glyph can be seen as Olivia and Shapeshifter Charlie fight in the alley.
Walter implanted a tracker in his neck in "Snakehead" which is used in "Grey Matters".
Item of interest
The Fringe team is the First People. Walter sent the parts of the machine back through time via the wormhole in Central Park. That's why the First People had such a knowledge of Peter and Olivia.
Hand glyph
The hand glyph can be seen on a door in the pocket universe.
