When she crossed over in the ep with the charred bodies the office over there is basically the same with Broyles's phone overlooking the floor/staff and the exception was the obviou red phone. But in season 3, Broyles' office is in the same place and the office has dramatically changed with high-tech desks and no paper work.. Either it's part of the story or it just another continuitu flaw that regularly happens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-75623425793452765222011-08-30T06:19:50.240-04:002011-08-30T06:19:50.240-04:00I meant to say "3 arrangements" in episo...I meant to say "3 arrangements" in episode 1x19 and a 4th in episode 1x20Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-73355500698790776342011-08-09T00:06:12.312-04:002011-08-09T00:06:12.312-04:00My attempt at trying to answer some of cortexifan&...My attempt at trying to answer some of cortexifan's questions:<br /><br />-Walter says Bell is not responsible for altered ZFT, then who is?<br />(Walternate)<br />-Why did Olivia see the other side?<br />(She was "activated" when she took the test and used her power to disarm the bomb)<br />-“The Road Not Taken” could be what we see in Season 4.<br />(Possibly or it might be her consciousness traveling to Fauxlivia's past of the red universe foreshadowing Peter's consciousness traveling to his future. As I recall, Fauxlivia used to be in the FBI before the Fringe division started)<br />-Again, who is Harris working for?<br />(I believe Harris is working for Walternate and DJones is working for Bell. Both have similar objectives, but different motives)<br /><br />I’m impressed with Olivia’s response time at the warehouse. She quickly takes cover and shoots and doesn’t miss. She did that in The Cure as Dr. Patell pulled the gun and she does it again in the S1 finale when she approaches the van in the woods. Wonder if cortexiphan has anything to do with that?<br />(I'm sure it does :) )<br />-What happened the last time the Observer was sighted in that kind of frequency?<br />(A wormhole appeared?

Some books are showcased in the Fringe episodes and actually contribute to the series.The skinny book front and center on Susan Pratt's shelf, "Childhood's End" by Arthur C. Clarke,<br />is a futuristic book about the last man in space.(as in the Violet Sedan Chair track title). <br />In this book horned observer aliens visit and stay above the earth for an extended period of time. The earth people call them "Overlords," but in actuality they have come to usher Earth into a new phase, just like the Observers in Fringe. And like the Observers, the Overlorads appear to be unaffected by time.<br />This book is where the idea of using a typewriter to communicate to a different group comes from, as the Earth people use an older typewriter to send information to the "Overlords."<br />How does the story end? I'll leave that to you to discover.fringeobsessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818528329131089151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-70907989169000833032011-08-05T12:20:37.077-04:002011-08-05T12:20:37.077-04:00It is funny that it's a reference to Abram'...It is funny that it's a reference to Abram's other work, and I laughed too. But it wouldn't be the first time something obvious has had another meaning in Fringe. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12317988702848090808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-18498089512972123462011-08-05T09:57:20.330-04:002011-08-05T09:57:20.330-04:00The Star Trek reference is to the Star Trek movie ...The Star Trek reference is to the Star Trek movie that Abrams directed and Orci with Kurtzman wrote the script. What Greyson sais it`s basically the whole plot of the movie. <br /><br />Spock in the future was supposed to help Romulans to protect their planet from being destroyed by their sun`s supernova. Spock failed and the whole planet was destroyed. But only one ship of romulans survived and the black hole transported both the romulans and Spock into the past. Romulans started the war against the federation with intention to kill Kirk and Spock from the past so that the Romulus tragedy would never happen. And they were renegade romulans because when the federation said they won`t tolerate Romulan Empire`s action, Nero, the leader of the romulans from the future said tha he has nothing to do with the empire because he`s acting on his own.<br /><br />So all in all...It was just a trailer or a scoop or whatever :-D. Because this episode aired in May of 2009 and the Star Trek movie by Abrams had premiere in the summer of 2009. When I rewatched this episode after I saw the movie and the Greyson`s line just made me laugh :-D. <br /><br />And it wouldn`t be the first time Abrams is making a reference to his other work.<br /><br />BluesboyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-64508850049674037312011-08-05T09:56:20.879-04:002011-08-05T09:56:20.879-04:00-Walter says Bell is not responsible for altered Z...-Walter says Bell is not responsible for altered ZFT, then who is?<br />-Why did Olivia see the other side?<br />-I love how Nina just waltzes into Broyles’s office.<br />-“The Road Not Taken” could be what we see in Season 4.<br />-Olivia talking to both Broyles’s reminded me of 3.15 Subject 13 when young Olivia thought she was talking to Walter but it really was Walternate, and then Walter coming in.<br />-Again, who is Harris working for?<br />-Isaac Winters visited James Heath (2.16 OITLWTR) 20 months ago, then he found Nick and Nancy and then Olivia shot him.<br />-Telekinesis – Olivia’s powers – turning off the lights on the bomb in Ability, turning off the machine in The Last Sam Weiss, guiding the box safely to the floor in The Day We Died. <br />-When Olivia sees the burning buildings it says on one of them: He is here. Bell is on the other side.<br />-Olivia: “I feel like I’m losing my mind.” The mind seems to be a theme as well. Just referred to it in Bad Dreams and Olivia for one, just to name a few. <br />-Dejavu! In White Tulip Olivia experienced it. Peter says when you do it means you’re in line with your destiny. He never gets them. Maybe that’s because he’s not in line with his. At this point he didn’t know he’s from the other side, he was trying to walk away from his destiny by not going into the machine. Bellivia tells him in 3.17 “… sometimes when one walks away from his fate, it leads one directly to fate’s doorstep.”<br />-When Olivia sees the other side again at the office, an agent runs into her and says he didn’t see her. Did she completely cross over?<br />-When Peter cuts the glass out, why didn’t they just take it to the lab to do the experiment there?<br />-Did Harris know it was Olivia on the phone and did he know she was following him?<br />-I’m impressed with Olivia’s response time at the warehouse. She quickly takes cover and shoots and doesn’t miss. She did that in The Cure as Dr. Patell pulled the gun and she does it again in the S1 finale when she approaches the van in the woods. Wonder if cortexiphan has anything to do with that?<br />-The assault in the pastry shop; Olivia was pretty mad at Walter. They both have come a long way in their relationship. The embrace in 3.22 The Day We Died is the perfect example. <br />-What happened the last time the Observer was sighted in that kind of frequency?<br />-September comes to visit Walter in the lab, he does so again in 3.10 The Firefly and he also visited Walternate in 2.15 Peter. <br /><br /><br />If Peter never existed in this episode…<br />-would they have been able to find and save Nancy Lewis. It was Peter’s devise that lead them to Harris.<br />-would Harris still be alive?cortexifannoreply@blogger.com
