Nick Lane’s Wall of Mystery
Easter Eggs | Fringe - 117 Bad Dreams | Theories & Speculation | Posted by ScullyI 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
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.

Image #2 – At the top is a headliner that reads ‘Doppelgangers are among us’ and on the right is the number ’201′.

Image #3
Image #3 – Here we see the number ’47′ and the Doppelganger headline again, as well as a photo of a Griffin.

Image #4
Image #4 – I had theorized that the man with the glasses who visited Nick in the hospital was Mr. Jones, but in this image we can see a man with glasses. Perhaps this is supposed to be William Bell.

There are a lot of articles that I didn’t circle, because you can see them in Walter’s lab notes and/or in Nick Lane’s file that Charlie gives to Olivia.

What you need to pay attention is what the blak line is linking … it is linking events that probably has a meaning.

Very true, I will have to look at this again and see if I can connect the clippings.

And thank you for the photos !

The photo of the griffin appears in Walter’s Lab Notes, and I think it was for an episode before this one, but am not sure.

The photo of the griffin appears in the lab notes for episode 2. It is only part of a larger photo and I always thought we might get to see the rest of the photo, but we never did (yet).

“C25-17 – It doesn’t seem relevant but C2517 is Chlordiazepoxide hydrochloride.”
This is a psychotropic drug that “alters brain function, resulting in temporary changes in perception, mood, consciousness and behaviour.” (per Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychotropic )
I don’t know but it seems that it could be relevant, IMHO…

I was thinking that the man in the newspaper was “the man in glasses” too but Leonard nemoy has been cast so play william Bell for the last episode “there is two of everything. The man in glasses probably has a ZFT/ Mr Jones connection.
April 25th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I thought of that too, but I wondered if maybe that’s why they obscured the rest of the face. At that time maybe they hadn’t made a casting decision. Just a thought.

The dude with the glasses — same dude that SLIPPED the $2 to the newspaper vendor.
Same dude that was on Olivia’s television – the “Weatherman” is the dude in the glasses that both:
1) dropped off the $2
2) freed Nick Lane and said the “old words”.
Thank you for all of your information.
I have a question – did you catch that number above the entrance to that white building holding Nick Lane? It was a 5 or 6 digit number.
I think it’s important.

THERE IS A TATTOO OF A TREE ON NICK LANE’S ARM. DOES IT MEAN ANYTHING?
April 26th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Good eye about the tattoo kemz, I will investigate asap. Which episode was the weatherman on Olivia’s tv, and I will check it out.
April 26th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
PS – white building number ’25134′.

One of the newspaper clippings says “Aliens Aren’t From Out There”
I found this interesting since in The Arrival episode, the cylindar appears from below the ground. Whoever or whatever sent the cylindar comes from within the earth no outside of it.

Nice connection Keigen. I think the ZFT manuscript said ‘they are among us’, but are ‘they’ aliens? And, I still wonder what the heck that ‘beacon’ was actually for.

Image number 3, to the left of Peter, almost low left corner … there is a photo of a Giant Animal have been apparently feed … see the teeth, weird hã ?
April 27th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
“Doppelgangers Among Us” news appears at least 3 times on the wall … more mystery … different news ? same old story ?
April 27th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Anybody got something on the black line linking ?
tks!
April 28th, 2009 at 1:43 am
I tried to find some meaning in the black line but couldn’t.
I have noticed that some articles are more important than others. For example, the text in the one about the “Genetically Modified Children” is actually a local NYC paper story about cell phones and privacy concerns with them. So this was a prop that didn’t get a lot of preparation.
However, the one beside it, “Government Funds Secret Drug Trials” by “Douglas Strother” IS about drug trials. One line is “In the seventies, the CIA was charged with conducting LSD experiments on soldiers, though no convictions were ever handed down.” Sounds like Walter’s work to me!
Also, the arrangement of the articles changes between shots. So the line that links articles goes through different articles in different shots. The nodes on of the line link to articles, photos, and maps that are for the most part covered up by overlapping articles.
Other oddities in the wall of weird: the “D” in “After the Dirty Work” headline is circled in red. This might be meaningless as in the cellphone privacy article, some of the text is highlighted with a highlighter as well. This might be there just to make it look more interesting.
Another, probably relevant headline is “TAX DOLLARS BUILDING A SECRET ARMY.” The black line actually does have a node on this one, so maybe I take back what I said.
Another is , “Iraq Verts Tested for Psych-”
Some scraps have only one word on them, such as “Review” or “GAUNT.”
The chess board has the what Walter calls, “The Torre Attack” on it. The Torre attack is an opening move, although the board as shown is almost empty. Positions on the chess board can be written in algebraic notation, and maybe I can look at this more later.

Anyone have an idea why there are two letters or words circled in red in the clipping title ‘Suspects Talk After The Dirty Work’. The article appears on the board at least twice, one of which has the T of Talk and the D of Dirty circled in red. TD? The other one, above the felt tip What Was Written, isn’t circled.
There are a couple more red circles like those, like in the ‘Medical Shipment Stolen’ clipping, but is too small to see.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:15 am
I tried to blow up the ‘Medical Shipment Stolen’ clipping, but I had no luck being able to make out what letters were circled. I am curious about the ‘TD’ though.
May 4th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
This could be nothing, but I noticed that the number above the hospital, 25134, might have a connection to the psychotropic drug C2517. 2517, 251(3+4). The connection might be that it’s the hospital’s only purpose– psychotropic drug-induced comas for potentially dangerous individuals. Just throwing a theory out there…

Is the man buying the newspaper in Ability Isaac Winters THE MAN IN GLASSES or just a man in glasses?
May 18th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
@ Jo: It certainly could be him. I watched that scene very closely but I couldn’t get a good enough look at his face to be able to confirm or deny it. Good connection though.

The gryphon you guys talked about on his lab notes… That blonde woman had a tattoo of the Gryphon on her arm in that episode with “The Artist” serial killer (Season 1 Episode 15: Inner Child). The Artist pointed it out towards the beginning when they were in the laundry room together, and he was faking being handicapped trying to talk to her sounding all innocent. Possible connection with the gryphon in Bishop’s notes?
