The Fringe episode "Subject 13" is a flashback that takes place in 1985. To match the style of the era, location titles and the Fringe title sequence was given a new look. The same title sequence was also seen in the the Fringe episode "Peter".
The Tron-style graphics are complimented by retro "fringe science" subjects. While these subjects may have seemed "fringe" at the time of Back To The Future and Weird Science, every one (with maybe the exception of cold fusion) is now considered mainstream science.
One thing that seems to be missing from this old school sequence is the "Observers Are Here" quote.
Screenshots of every single frame from the title sequence are available at FringeFiles.com.
Tonight's Fringe episode "Subject 13", is the fifteenth episode of season 3.
Reminder: If you didn't already have enough of a reason to watch Fringe LIVE, tonight is also the LIVE Tweet-Along event with Jasika Nicole (Astrid Farnsworth) and Fringe executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman.
Jeff Pinkner (@JPFringe) and J.H. Wyman (@JWFringe) will be tweeting from 9PM to 10PM EST, and Jasika Nicole (@FringeLabRat) will be tweeting from 9PM to 10PM PST (that's 12AM to 1AM EST).
You can submit your questions for everyone using the #FringeLiveTweet tag.
If you can handle doing three things at once, as always, we'll have a LIVE Fringe chat. If you want to talk with other Fringe fans, during or after the show, we usually play "spot the observer", and "What's the glyph code?", plus discuss the action on the show. To join the chat, visit the Fringe chat room, enter your name or a nickname, and join the fun! (please don't use the default mib_xxxxx nickname - be creative!). Advanced users can go directly to the IRC channel: #FringeTV on irc.mibbit.com.

Tonight’s Fringe is a do-not-miss, revelatory episode, crossing time and space and allowing us to see Olivia and Peter as children. The hour is crammed with references to previous episodes while adding a great deal of vivid detail to the series’ fundamental relationships between Walter, Olivia, Peter, and Walter’s wife, Elizabeth.
I don’t want to write anything more, lest I give something away about the episode called “Subject 13.” But how much more strongly can I say this? Don’t miss it!
Hardcore Fringe fans will agree that season 2′s “Peter” was hands up, down, and all-around one of the best hours of the series. The great news is that tonight’s follow-up episode, “Subject 13″ (which references the test subject number assigned to young Olivia), will rank right up there with it.
"Subject 13" showcases Torv, Noble and Jackson's performing abilities in ways sci-fi serial dramas rarely try. In the tradition of such dramas, the episode answers some questions while raising others, and is both effective and affecting as a mystery. It's accessible to the casual, occasional viewer, but won't upset or annoy the diehard fan.
The LIVE Tweet-along event will take place on this Fringe, February 25th, during both east and west coast feeds of the Fringe episode "Subject 13". Fringe Executive Producers Jeff Pinkner (@JPFringe) and J.H. Wyman (@JWFringe) will "join you to share insider info and answer questions from Fringe fans. It's almost like communicating with the alternate universe. Only cooler."
During the last Tweet-Along event with John Noble, you could submit you questions using the #FringeLiveTweet tag. I suspect it will probably work the same way this time as well, but be sure to check back here or at bit.ly/FringeTweet tomorrow for the full details.
UPDATE: The event has already changed. Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman will only be available during the east coast feed, and replacing them for the west coast feed will be Jasika Nicole!
The Observercan be walking past the Rosencrantz building, right at the beginning of the episode.
Hidden Glyph: I didn't see any hidden Fringe symbols in this episode. It may not be an "every episode" Easter egg, like the Observer or Next Episode Clues. Or maybe I just missed it... if you find something, let me know!
Next Episode Clue: In the last episode "Immortality", the license plate of the second victim is APT6B. In this episode, Alice Merchant lived in Apt 6B, which is also the title of the episode.
