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
Despite Walternate's efforts to mold Olivia's mind into Fauxlivia's, Olivia kept seeing Peter and Walter in "Amber 31422". Similarly, in "Alone in the World" Peter didn't exist in the rewritten timeline yet Olivia kept having visions of him.
Item of interest
Walter's pose as he listens to the Mozart Requiem is a reference to the iconic Maxell tape advertisement from the '80s.
Butterfly glyph
The butterfly glyph can be seen as Olivia and Shapeshifter Charlie fight in the alley.
Connection
The nanites in "Brave New World (Part 1)" have an "X" on them that matches the "X" on the shirt worn by the man Peter freed from Olivia's mind in "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide", suggesting that "Mr. X" from Olivia's mind may have been William Bell (who was ultimately behind the nanites).
Item of interest
