To explode or not to explode? - 104
Fringe - 104 The Arrival | Fumbles | Posted by ScullyWhen Olivia is talking to Henry Jacobson about the metal cylinder found at Quantico in 1987, he remembers it quite vividly…
“48 hours after we found it, there was an explosion unlike anything I’ve ever seen.”

At the end, when the cylinder went back into the ground, I was expecting a spectacular display of pyrotechnics. What I got seemed more like the effects of a good witch’s brew than a powerful metal container from God knows where.
Explosion???
And while we are on the subject of the cylinder…didn’t Jacobson say 48 hours after it came up, it went back down? He did. Well, we know that the object came up a 3:15pm (the observer looks at his watch), and it went back down at some time in the evening (it was dark). So it wasn’t 48 hours.
At first I thought maybe it had to make an unscheduled departure to escape the bad guy. This can’t be true, because when it went back down into the ground, the observer made a call and said…
“Departure on schedule.”
So
So my next thought was that perhaps the one in 1987 couldn’t leave on time for some reason. But that doesn’t seem likely…it went right through the floor. It was ready to go, and it went!! So I guess either the trips of this mysterious metal suppository vary, or we found a little ‘Fringe’ fumble.
