Check out Walter's notes...so far with both shows there have notes attached to the recaps....this set is kind of cryptic.


Good idea, but unfortunately it's only available to US people. Canadians, no dice.

Can someone please check out the scene I was referring to in my previous post and try sending the keyword to that short code phone number. it's probably nothing, but just on the off chance...

The person she tells them to ask for could be an sms key word, I don't have the show taped anymore so I can't look back and see but could someone see what word it is she says to ask for. Then text that word to 17224 and see if that does anything.

 		Notes on Walter's Notes
I hadn't checked out Walter's notes until just now.

And they are funny. Both those from the Pilot and Ep. 2 display (1) Walter's eccentricity, and (2) a pattern...YAY!

1.)
In the Ep. 2 notes there is again mention of Walter's preoccupation with the proportions and division of his floorspace.

While interrupting his own thought process with ideas on mythology, he makes an astoundingly obscure reference to Tom Bulfinch, whose name he misspells (Special Collections catalogue informs Very Happy )

Chewing further on the Sphinx mythos, he draws out some thoughts on Oedipus, and then compares metaphorically the murdered girl to Tiresias, which just doesn't stand to reason.
Walter Bishop, you are a nutterbutter

2.) Western Art References
In his Pilot notes, Walter sketches the Vitruvian Man and Venus, probably Boticcelli's, within his procedural diagram. Here, including these items practically in his lab documentation

In the Ep. 2 notes, Walter's mythology trip gives an encore in a photo of a Greek Sphinx.
He has again included a specific work of art, this time favoring the Ancient world, and also a standalone media-piece, serving no practical purpose.

Additional examples of things that serve no purpose include these observations, I feel now that I see them written.

It may be that these curiosities are some of those things which are surely too contrived to be coincidental, but nevertheless do not indicate any hidden meaning.

But, they might be helpful. Now I can't wait to see the Ep. 3 notes

 		walter's notes
continuing theme
Cool

To me Walter's notes is the place where we will see the pattern unfold...I think as chips and dips says he's a "nutterbutter". In the pilot he stared at the lights in the examining room....definitely out of the norm. It's interesting the classical antiquties themes are visits in his head as he thinks things out. The first set of notes made a reference to fibonacci and then in episode two he rattled fibobnacci numbers to go to sleep. He is definitely just putting stuff down..the notes from the pilot have a recipe for bananna bread.

I don't know, whether you've heard about a cool freeware named Hotspot Shield by Anchorfree. It's a VPN, keeping the connection secured etc. And fully legal thing after all. The little bonus is, it is also a proxy with US IP. So if you use this security tool, you can automatically get US proxy with good transfer speed. And then... well Wink Everything is possible.

You haven't to run the thing all the time, but for watching Fringe it's helpful.

Till now I haven't heard anything negative about it, but you can always correct me. And admin can feel free to delete this message, in case they think, I'm making PR or something illegal Smile But the tool isn't illegal and to watch the series connected with ARG for a foreign non-US-resident and hardARGjunkie should be seen as a mutigation of his hard crime Smile

It isn't an US-only ARG after all.

incidentally, the decoding of optic nerve signals to images is real science

link to cached version of a BBC Sci/Tech article "Looking through cats' eyes ".

is what I'm thinking of but im sure you could track down better stuff since 1999.


From http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/research/4283295.html?page=2:

Quote:

Dr. Mark Milstein, a neurologist and assistant professor of neurology at a major New York City hospital, finds this scenario laughable. "They seem awfully dependent on the use of anesthetics to explain their medical science," he noted, remembering Fringe's use of anesthetics last week (combined with LSD) for brain-wave sharing. Milstein explains, "the minute [an image] hits your retina it is no longer an image anymore. It becomes electrical information because that's the language of the nerve. At that point there would be no way to retrieve it no matter how conscious or unconscious the patient was."

It would be great if we could understand how the brain transmits and stores images so we could read them, Milstein says, but right now it's just not possible.

Well, whoever Milstein is he's 10 years behind the research, as my link shows.

 		Interesting FYI with regards to the apple glyph, not sure it's relevant at all but found it interesting nonetheless.

Apple Embryonic Dormancy

Mature seeds of apples are dormant and do not germinate unless their dormancy is removed by several weeks of moist-cold treatment.

 		I don't think it was ever mentioned but the "Invisi-V" wall sized television screen from the press release on masivedynamic.com made an appearance on this episode. Its during the part when Olivia is in the waiting area before she gets the camera from Nina Sharp at Massive Dynamic in New York. There is a giant TV screen behind her.

I wonder if we'll get to see the holographic computer screen from the latest press release in an upcoming episode.

I know this is a bit old, but I thought I ought to chime in on this for ya'll. I didn't think this was odd at all, because Olivia's an FBI agent. As an FBI agent, she works for the government. The government has specialized phone numbers that when calling from government phones don't require all 7 or 10 digits. Since she was using her govt cel, it was plausible to only dial a 5 digit number and get the appropriate agency.

Just some input.
