When Steig is in the interrogation room, Peter and Walter watch on a monitor from across the hall. Peter decides to take a turn at questioning him and gets up to leave. Moments later we see Peter enter the interrogation room on the monitor…
When John Scott’s car crashes, he flies through the air and lands in some blue barrels…
At the end of the episode, Olivia pursues John in a high speed car chase. First, they are out on the open street. It’s damp, but otherwise fairly mild looking and snow-free…

M.D. Logo in the Pilot Episode
On the plane
The Massive Dynamic logo appears at least three times in the ‘Pilot’. The first time is approximately 8 minutes into the episode, you will see the logo on the plane.
Massive Dynamic car
When John is searching the warehouses he stumbles across this car. Upon closer inspection of the emblem on the car you will notice the striking resemblance to the MG Car logo. I think the car is a late 70’s ‘Vermillion’…can anybody confirm that?
Let's compare
Post decal
The first time we see the Massive Dynamic building in the pilot episode…just to the left is a pole with a large decal on it. The decal has a website on it called ‘Glowing Monkeys‘. It is a real website dedicated to just the sorts of things that ‘Fringe’ is about. Genetics, Nanotechnology, Cybernetics and all kinds of other cool stuff.
Olivia play's Steig's tape
Near
Near the end of the episode, Olivia pulls Steig’s tape out of the glove box, rewinds it and then presses play. If you slow down the portion of audio that is rewinding, it is actually people talking.
