Fox Fringe: Walter's Lab Notes 108

Walter's Lab Notes from the Fringe episode "The Equation" include red and green Christmas lights, the composite sketch of Joanne Ostler, Ben Stockton's musical composition, and a photo of Dashiell Kim's crime scene. Dr. Bishop talks in his notes about being visited - was he referring to his split personality, or someone else - possibly Dr. Sumner while at St. Claire's?

It happens all the time: Newton and Leibniz inventing calculus. Darwin and Wallace discovering evolution by natural selection. Jevons, Menger, and Walras elucidating marginalism in economics. And yet, Dashiell and the boy -- with nothing in common -- not even working in the same medium -- not even knowing what they were trying to find --

YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLVED IT YOURSELF! IT IS JUST MATHEMATICS, A SIMPLE MATTER OF CALCULATION, NOTHING MORE.

Every iteration of the main theme of the composition corresponds to a further expansion of the central function in Dashiell's equation. And with each iteration, he comes a step closer to a closed-form solution. Yet the expansion is infinite, implying a potentially endless composition -- small wonder the boy was obsessed --

EXCUSES, EXCUSES TO RETURN TO WHERE YOU KNOW YOU BELONG.

No! I have the boy now, he is the key, on some level he understands, even if he chafes and bristles -

BECAUSE YOU ARE A BURDEN. AND THE VISITOR CAME AGAIN, DIDN'T HE? ALWAYS PRESSURING YOU FOR THE NUMBERS, THE NUMBERS!

I couldn't stop him, he knows my combination. He bumped my head and I went to bed and I couldn't get up til morning --

ENOUGH RHYMES. THE QUESTION IS, WHAT HAPPENED WHEN HE LEFT?

It was still there, my box of secrets, a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma withing a lumpy mattress. I should have left it there --

FOR THEM TO TAKE? FOOLISHNESS. IS IT SAFE OR NOT?

I have it now. The box is safe, but my secrets are not. My visitor whispered to me: thank you. No more pearls in this oyster, he said.

Joshua Jackson on Bonnie Hunt, Jimmy Kimmel

Joshua Jackson was on the Bonnie Hunt Show and the Jimmy Kimmel Live!, talking about Fringe, and his boyhood home (mostly about his boyhood home). One tidbit to come out of these interviews is that he referred to The Observer as September, confirming an early press release with the same name. This doesn't make the name canon in the show, but it is interesting that he would use that name. One explanation is that September could be the internal code name for The Observer.

Fringe Episode 108: The Equation

After a young music prodigy (guest star Charlie Tahan) is taken by a serial kidnapper (guest star Gillian Jacobs), it's discovered that a sequence of flashing lights appeared at the abduction, which Walter links back to his bunkmate (guest star Randall Duk Kim) at St. Claire's Hospital. Much to Peter's dismay, Olivia encourages Walter to return to the mental institution, and Walter's determination to help ends up having chilling ramifications in an all-new episode of FRINGE.

Fringe Episode 108, The Equation, Airs Tonight at 9/8c

If you are new to Fringe or just now deciding to truly delve into it, you are in the right place. On Tuesdays we hold a live discussion and easter egg hunt, both starting at 9:00 p.m. Eastern. The article page for tonight's episode of Fringe over at Fringepedia also unlocks at 9/8c.

Before and after Tuesday night, we have news and spoilers, a gallery and a forum. In fact, you could say Fringe Television is an all-inclusive fan site. Yup, you could say that.

But back to tonight's episode. What are you looking for beyond the usual?

Well, you want to keep an eye out for The Observer. He is a cryptic fellow who we don't know much about, but one thing is for sure, he makes an appearance in each episode.

Second thing to watch for is the next episode clue. By the way, the next episode is entitled The Dreamscape. If you want more to go on than that, and don't mind spoilers, see Fringe Spoilers.

Third, any and all reference to Massive Dynamic. Like The Observer, it's all but guaranteed MD is everywhere, including in every episode of Fringe.

While that's it for the solid leads (the stuff we know to look for and why), there are plenty more random curiosities in every episode and this from Jeff Pinkner:

There’s Easter eggs all over the place. Many of them are just for the fun of people who want to play along. Several of them have yet to be discovered.

So you see. It's far from too late to start down the rabbit hole. Happy hunting.
