Earlier this week I posted some pics of Nick Lane’s wall of clippings. One of the things I pointed out was that the number 47 appears on the wall twice. After some deeper looking, I am finding a pattern of ‘47‘ that may or may not be coincidence.

I am sure that there must be some things of importance on this wall of photos and clippings, so here are some screenshots. I have pointed out some things I think are interesting, if anyone has any theories, let me know. To view full size screenshots, just click on the images.

Image #1 – At the top is the number ’47′. In the middle is the number ‘C25-17′. On the right is the Massive Dynamic logo, which I have blown up at the bottom left.
C25-17 – It doesn’t seem relevant but C2517 is Chlordiazepoxide hydrochloride.

Last week I did a post on Ella’s book “The Burlap Bear”. I noted that the original illustrations were different from that featured in the episode. This week, you can see the book on Olivia’s coffee table, but the cover is the original one done by Christensen…
The Burlap Bear
Nick Lane said that a man with glasses came to the hospital. That he spoke all the old words, that they needed warriors and that he knew how to wake Nick up. Well I don’t ever remember seeing Mr. Jones with glasses on, but he’s still my choice, and here’s why.
jones
‘He spoke all the old words‘ sounds to me like words from the ZFT manuscript…their bible, so to speak. ‘We need warriors‘ only reinforces that ZFT is behind this, and where ZFT goes, Mr. Jones goes. And the kicker for me was during the scene when Nick pulls his gun out of the drawer. You can see a round symbol on the bottom of the drawer…

At first I thought it was a zodiac circle, but then I remembered the games that Mr. Jones sent Olivia to find, so I went back to “Fringe” Episode 14 – “Ability” and I found this…click image to enlarge.

It’s the same wheel. So if Jones gave one to Olivia, then it’s safe to say he gave one to Nick Lane as well.
My theory is that these games are what actually activates them (wakes them up). What I wonder now is, has Olivia already been activated when she shut off the lights of the bomb? Is that the reason why she was able to see through Nick’s eyes in her dreams?

Do you think Olivia will ever play the game that we see in Nick’s apartment? What about the other games? Will we see them in future episodes connected to other people who were treated as a child? It seems there are two more questions for every answer we get.

"Midnight"
This is the fourth piece of the mysterious photo puzzle and every week I get more confused as to how these fit together. In image #1, I have fit them so they would match the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci spiral, but none of the lines seem to match up…click on any image to see full size.

As Olivia and the team approach the building where Nick Lane and his followers are standing, you can see The Observer walking across the street…
"Bad Dreams"
When Olivia goes to the frat house, you can see a decal on the keg that says ‘RED BALLOON LAGER’…

clue
This foreshadowed the big red balloon in Bad Dreams, that was part of Olivia’s vision of victim, Risa Pears, in Grand Central Station.

Glyph Code Key
I might really be grasping at straws this time, but here goes. During one of the scenes at the hospital, you can see food on a tray. At first I thought it was toast and pickles, but who serves pickles with toast? It seemed more likely to me that it was a grilled cheese sandwich and pickles.
lab notes
Why is that important, you ask? Well, in the lab notes for Episode 102 “Same Old Story” there is a grilled cheese sandwich and a pickle…
Grilled Cheese and Pickles
pickle
The interesting part is that the Mini-Observer has a whole sandwich and whole pickles, while Walter has only a portion of a sandwich and a portion of a pickle. Is this meant to be a clue, or am I just seeing meaning where there is none?
truth
Might it be that Mini-Observer has the whole story, knows the whole truth, and has all the answers, while Walter only knows part of the story, some of the truth and some of the answers? I think it’s very plausible that even with all that Walter has seen and done, that it’s only the tip of the iceberg.
observer
Is it possible that this is another clue that the young boy really is an ‘Observer‘? In all of the photos from “The Arrival” of the Observer, he was the same age, but perhaps he started out just like this boy, young and unfamiliar, but with an obvious awareness above and beyond human capabilities (except possibly Olivia).
connection
So what is the connection to Episode 102 “Same Old Story”? I think it’s possible that this young ‘Observer’ will grow very fast, perhaps becoming an adult in a matter of a few months. I don’t think it would be throught pituitary manipulation, like in Episode 102, but rather some sort of process designed by his own kind (whatever kind that is).
thoughts
Well, like I said, I might be stretching it with this one, but I will be curious to see if a future episode (this season or next) will reveal the boys growth rate. Anyone have any thoughts?
