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
Walter thought of Peter when he saw the image of a coffin in "Grey Matters" because his Peter died in "Peter".
Item of interest
Observers send materials to themselves via shipping lanes from the future using metal cubes.
Frog glyph
A frog can be seen on the dock when Walter is high.
Connection
September loads his food with heat (pepper, jalapenos, hot sauce) in "The Arrival" because his emotions are dulled, as he explained in "The Boy Must Live".
Item of interest
This episode reveals that there is more than one Observer. The intro sequence since the pilot episode has had a single frame that says "OBSERVERS ARE HERE".
Seahorse glyph
A seahorse can be seen on Peter's luggage.
Connection
The Glatterflug ad for daily flights to the moon in "Olivia" is the same air travel company as Flight 627 from "Pilot".
Item of interest
The Fringe team is part of a full-fledged branch of the Department of Defense in the Redverse.
Flower glyph
The flower glyph can be seen as Olivia and Shapeshifter Charlie fight in the alley.
Connection
James Heath, a Cortexiphan subject, couldn't control his abilities in "Olivia. In the Lab. With the Revolver.". In "Over There (Part 1)" he had been trained to cure disease instead of cause it.
Item of interest
Sam Weiss died 10-15 years earlier in a shootout with Observers trying to protect the radio signal relay used to locate Michael.
Hand glyph
A hand can be seen on the wall when Olivia and Peter attack the Observers and Loyalists.
Connection
The neon green fairy seen in the black market in "Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11" is like the green fairy Walter hallucinated in "Black Blotter".
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.
Connection
The intense amount of Cortexiphan coursing through Olivia in "Brave New World (Part 2)" was able to heal her mortal wound. This was foreshadowed in "Brown Betty" when Olivia was sliced by the same weapon that killed Rachel, yet instead of dying Olivia's skin started to heal itself.
Item of interest
Who did the Observer say was "still alive," Peter or Walter?
Butterfly glyph
