Broyles' Comment
I'm not sure what to make of something. After Alistair "jumps" back in time for, I believe, the second time, Broyles comments to Olivia over the phone that they need to catch Alaister before he jumps again. Broyles had said this in a time when I felt their knowledge of Alaister's time travel was unknown yet, so I beg the question, was Broyles' comment about Alaister's jumping a continuity error? I will admit that I haven't gone back to watch the ep again, but I'm pretty sure that Fringe Division hadn't discovered his time travel ability yet. -- The Atomic Mystro talk contribs 03:19, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
- - Walter explained to Olivia and Peter what was happening (The Arlette's Principle) through Alistair's thesis (?), this is followed by presumably a gap, then a scene where Astrid manage to find out the cellphone of Arlette. It can be presumed that the "gap" was Olivia reporting to Broyles what had happened. So, they technically did know about Alistair's timetravelling ability. -- Xerophytes Talk | Contribs 06:43, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- - They already determined (predicted) that Peck was jumping (see transcript). Broyles says that at the very end, just before he call for the sniper shot, as Peck is penning the Tulip image, just before he jumps back to May. They figured out the time jumping 20 minutes earlier in the episode. Not a continuity error.-- –DocH– my edits 03:41, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Could be nothing but ..
When Olivia is in Peck's bathroom and opens the bathroom cabinet, on one of the shelves is a tiny seahorse lying on its side. What this means I have no idea... Anyone got any theories? All I know is that the seahorse is a recurring glyph. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RolloTomasi (talk • contribs) .
- - I think this is one of easter eggs that the producers put throughout the season. In fact, there is a butterfly glyph in the house and lab of Alistair. I don't have a best guess for the seahorse, but the butterfly could be indicative of a butterfly effect. -- Xerophytes Talk | Contribs 06:46, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- -Concur with XeroP. We have no idea if the glyphs mean anything yet... other than the alphabet - when used with yellow dots. -- –DocH– my edits 03:39, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Nitpicks
- Astrid locates Arlette's cell phone to a cell tower near Albany Street. Peter says MIT is near Albany Street, however, the computer screen is depicting the cell tower as being on Albany Street in Boston. I would think they meant the Albany Street in Cambridge, which passes through the North West section of MIT campus and is lined with physics labs. --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by dfn (talk • contribs) .
- - You are probably correct. I too thought the tower was on the East side of the Charles river, South of downtown Boston, not on the West side of the river on Cambridge. -- –DocH– my edits 04:02, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Hot Air Balloon/Field Shot
- Is it a "Recurring Theme" to mention that when Peck travelled back to the day of his wife's car accident, the shot of him running away from his time-travelling location (the empty field) is very similar to Walter running away from the location of his universe crossover in Peter, on the lake? --Aswvwl21 02:20, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- - That is real thin. The keyword is "theme" - to the plot. Not the stylizing of the cinematography. If Peck was travelling to alt-universe to cure/steal his alt-world child? then heck yes. But camera technique? Not a recurring "plot" then. JMHO. -- –DocH– my edits 03:39, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
When did he send the message for Walter to Carol Bryce?
I am surprised to see this to appear in the Unanswered Questions section. I have always thought the message was found together with Peck's dead body. And from there, Carol Bryce was to keep it until the date it supposed to be delivered. I mean, that is why Carol said "He wouldn't have sealed it if he wanted me to see what's inside". From this sentence, I think we can deduce that Peck does not send the message directly to her. Therefore, I think this Unanswered Question is not necessary. -- FiQnocchio Talk Contribs 18:54, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- - You make assumptions. Yours is one possible answer that cannot be confirmed or verified. Did he mail it on the way to his fiancee? Did he hand it to someone and ask them to ensure it was delivered? Did someone find it and deliver it? Did the first responders/Coroner deliver it? I agree it is a minor UAQ - but valid as posted... -- –DocH– my edits 18:48, 7 November 2010 (MST)
- - Aah, hearing that, I now realize that makes sense too though. Thanks. -- FiQnocchio Talk Contribs 1:48, 9 November 2010 (+8 UTC)
The red hot air balloon has still got the fire burning.!?!
When Alistair Peck lands on the field where the red hot air balloon is, we notice that all grass die leaving the field bald and brown. As we already know that he drains all energy sources including bioenergy around we are not surprised at this..! But the camera makes a tilt and clearly shows us the balloon and the flames of the gas burner (or whatever) going on happily... Ain't gas sort of an energy? If not why am i paying these bills which are calculated over calories that i burn per month?
