Posted in Easter Eggs > Fringe - 203 Fracture by Scully
Here is what I and others have found for Easter Eggs in Episode 203-Fracture.
.
- Walter says “I stopped counting at 47” in reference to the needle holes in Officer Gillespie. JJ loves that number.
- Officer Joan Klump is named after Post Production Supervisor John Klump.
- A Star Wars reference “Can you just cut the Yoda crap and tell me what’s happening to me.”
- A Wizard of Oz reference – Project Tin Man
- This isn’t so much an Easter Egg, but Walter foreshadowed the fringe science of this episode in The Road Not Taken, with his comment – “Matter is just energy waiting to happen. The average adult at rest contains enough potential energy to explode with the force of five very large hydrogen bombs.”
- A huge thanks goes out to David Wu of Fringemunks for this discovery. William Bell says ‘War is Coming’.
- We were correct last week in thinking that the Van Gogh portrait might be the next episode clue. It is well known that he cut off his own ear, and this week we see the severed ear that Walter is holding.
.
The following may be Easter Eggs, Next Episode Clues or nothing at all…you be the judge.

Here are some screen caps of Olivia’s flashback. Most of them are direct shots from the finale last year “There’s More Than One Of Everything”. Some of the shots were upside-down or mirror images, which we have seen Fringe use before (Inner Child for one). But the last two shots are different. The last shot, I believe is a close-up of WIlliam Bell’s face, but I’m not sure. The second last shot is of William Bell using his oxygen mask, which we did not see last year. Either it was from part of a scene that was cut or it’s from a scene that we have yet to see.

By the time the episode seemed like it was wrapping up, I was thinking “I missed him, where was he?”. Well, as it turns out, the question this week was not ‘where is he?’, it was ‘what is he up to?’.
Last year there was a lot of speculation as to the intentions of our very bald friend, but I always maintained that he is on our side. I have to admit that this week, I am starting to doubt that theory. They have definitely given us reason to re-think all of our previous notions about the Observer.
I think the question about why he is always carrying a briefcase has been answered. But another, very important question has come to the surface…What is in the briefcase?

Here is the theory in Colonel Raymond Gordon’s words…

Fringe’s Human Mutant Not Possible, Says Expert
.
In “The Night of Desirable Objects,” Agent Olivia Dunham—sidelined by a car accident last week—traded her hospital gown for a gun and dove right back into the action. Fringe has already flirted with genetic mutation in animals, but this week, Dunham, mad scientist Walter Bishop, and his son, Peter, dealt with an actual mutant—and not one of the fuzzy X-Men variety. PM sat down with Dr. Richard Myers of Stanford University’s Department of Genetics and the president and director of the Hudson Alpha Institute for Biotechnology to find out if real-life mutants are possible.

Fringe Season Two Premiere Misrepresents Head Trauma
.
In the first season finale of Fringe, we left FBI agent Olivia Dunham in an alternate dimension where she was to meet with mysterious Massive Dynamic CEO William Bell. (His offices were located in the still-standing Twin Towers and, oh yeah, JFK is still alive. So are all of the Beatles … and they’re on a reunion tour.) In the second season premiere, “A New Day in the Old Town,” we didn’t find out just what Dunham and Bell talked about—but we did get a healthy dose of medical pseudoscience. Popular Mechanics talked to Justin Sattin, an assistant professor of neurology at the School of Medicine and Public Health at the University of Wisconsin and medical director of the UW Health Comprehensive Stroke Program, to separate the fact from fiction.

There are quite a few things that I haven’t mentioned yet, but that I would like to touch on before the next episode airs. Some are theories or speculations, some are just observations and some are outright questions.
.
#1 – The kiss between Nina and Broyles…what was that about? At first I thought this was a long term or new development, but after watching the scene again, I believe that is was more of a one way kiss on Nina’s part. Broyles didn’t seem as into it as Nina did. Is it possible that instead of an ongoing relationship that it was a prior relationship? Perhaps they worked together at some point and built a relationship at that time, but when Nina went to work for William Bell, their relationship fell apart. Either way, I think it might explain why Broyles has been slipping her information. Do you think that this helps or hinders the Fringe Division?
.
#2 – There was another reference to Peter and Alter-Peter in 201. Walter states that Peter loved custard as a child and Peter states that he has NEVER liked custard.
.
#3 – Olivia speaking Greek. We are fairly sure that her bionic hearing is a side effect of the inter-dimensional traveling and we know from Sam Weiss that she will be getting headaches as well. But what other side effects should she expect? When she wakes up in the hospital and…
