I normally reserve my Fringe Fumbles for breaks or when I have exhausted an episode, but this one is just too horrific to let it slide, even for a day. It was so bad that I was actually confused until I realized that it was a serious malfunction.
.
Approximately 15 minutes (commercial-free) into the episode, Olivia shows Dr. Boone a photo of the Agent who died in Ability and two photographs of victims with their necks torn out. I assumed the second photo was the victim Boston P.D. found two days earlier, by the pier.
Photograph of second victim

About 15 minutes later, Peter discovers a body by the water. Wait a minute…I know that guy…
Oops, there he is.

HELLO!! Come on guys…this is not the Fringe that I know and love. Minor continuity errors, I expect to find, it’s part and package, but this!?! I almost fell off the sofa.

I also thought that this was a rather absurd error. The photo is presented at 15:27 and the body was discovered much later in the story at 33:57 (commercial free).

Maybe it’s time travel.

rud390 was one of the components with what killed agent Kep. So Dr.Boon is responsible and they are charging him with that crime as well hence the photo on the table. The interrogation was about ZFT not just the spine killing woman.

But they didn’t find the body until later in the episode. They couldn’t possibly have had a picture of a body they had not yet discovered.
