What’s on this site

Episode pages

Every episode of Fringe has its own page with the following features:

• Production Information — Air date, writers and directors, and links to the episode’s IMDb page, Wikipedia page, fandom wiki page, old (inactive) wiki page, and transcript.
• Synopsis — Taken from the Fringe Fandom Wiki, Fringepedia, and/or Wikipedia to provide context without spoilers that may be present on those sites.
• Glyphs — The word or phrase spelled out by the episode’s glyphs.
• Observer — The location of the Observer in the episode, with a screenshot and timestamp for reference.
• Episode Clues — Every episode contains a visual clue to the episode that follows it. Each episode page displays its clue from the previous episode as well as its clue to the next episode, with screenshots and timestamps for reference. Some of these clues still have not been found!
• Items of Interest — Easter eggs, production notes, character notes, references, and other interesting information, with screenshots and timestamps for reference when appropriate.
• Fringe Division Case File — Most episodes in seasons 1 through 4 have a case file taken from September’s Notebook, a companion guide to Fringe.
• Glyph Sightings — The glyphs will often make actual appearances on items in the show itself. Any appearances in the episode will be listed here with screenshots and timestamps for reference.
• Walter’s Food — All of the times Walter ate food, thought about eating food, or asked for some food, with screenshots and timestamps for reference when appropriate.
• Walter’s Lab Notes — During the first season of Fringe only, whenever a new episode aired Fox would update its website with an episode recap which contained a link to an image called “Walter’s Lab Notes”. These are meant to be a look into Walter’s thoughts as he worked on each case.
• Quotes of Interest — Important or funny quotes from the episode.
• Connections — Every episode of Fringe connects to other episodes in many more ways than is initially apparent. These connections could be objects, dialogue, themes, characters, plot points, visual references, or other things. If a link is present between two episodes, it will appear on the pages for both episodes. Be careful if you’re watching Fringe for the first time; a connection to a future episode you haven’t seen yet will be a spoiler.
