Fringe Rewatch: Pilot

I finished watching Fringe already, but I just can’t wait for their new season.  So, I am attempting to rewatch the whole season 1 of Fringe, and probably to look for the pattern and of course, to really look into the things that I missed out because I’m not too attentive.

  • Morgan Steig injected himself with an insulin pen.  Morgan looks scared and nervous.  Later, it will be revealed that Richard, his twin brother, had cause such “act of terrorism”.  Richard worked for Massive Dynamic; steal something from them.  And was found to be working with Scott.  A connection to Jones?

  • The plane was burned down, as shown in television broadcast in the FBI.
  • Stupid scene: cellphone of Scott worked perfectly fine, in just one call, he managed to speak with Dunham.  Dunham, on the other hand, has no signal and have to walk out somewhere else.
  • Dunham and Peter on the plane.  Kelvin Genetics was brought up, it was referred to as a “classified US army experimental program”.  Does William Bell work with Walter Bishop in the same project?
  • Walter Bishop and Olivia Dunham first meeting.  Bishop said to Dunham: “I know someone would come, eventually”.  Is that a normal remark that Bishop is hoping for someone to visit him?  Or… he exactly knew what had happened and what would happen?
  • First food reference: Butterscotch Pudding
  • Walter and Olivia talking to each other.  And Walter knew Peter was there.  Was Walter not expecting his wife? Why?  Was she dead?
  • Walter and Peter first meeting. Walter told Peter that he thought he will be fatter.  Peter mentioned he was fat until the summer of before high school.  If I remember it right, there was one episode, that Peter said he was never fat.  Walter then checked Peter’s right eye.  Was this because of experimental procedures Peter did to his son?  Was he checking if there’s any visible changes that will indicate that maybe Peter was a clone?
  • On the car, Walter mentioned he shared lab with William Bell.  Walter doesn’t know that William Bell was the founder of Massive Dynamic… well, in fact, he doesn’t know what is Massive Dynamic.  Lie?  What made me more curious is that how does Bell manage to pull off if he had work with a psychopath before to become a world-leading research founder.
  • Dunham had been wanting to meet with William Bell since pilot.
  • Second food reference: ginger ale
  • Walter’s on rage upon reminded that his lab doesn’t exist anymore.  Spark of memory?
  • First time in the lab; Walter said: “So much happened here, so much is about to.” Is it just me that thinks they implicate the same thing as what Walter said to Dunham in St. Claires?  Does William Bell shared lab with Walter in the same basement lab in Harvard?
  • Walter to Dunham: “And this will rip open your consciousness.” prior to injecting a cocktail of drugs to her.  Was that a reference to what they are about to do, or does it also activate cortexifan?
