I watched the show tonight on TV but I haven't seen the leaked version. Does anyone have a link? I would like to compare it with what I saw tonight.

People, one more time, I don't want to dispose anybody to some illegal actions, but since I'm outside of US, I would be glad to watch the pilot, because if they produce global ARG, they should also think about non-US-residents out there...

Anyway, if somebody send me PM with a possible link to the pilot, I'll be in your debt and will translate everything German, Russian and Japanese contents of this ARG (since Russian seems to have some relevance in the Fringe hidden video and in the Fringe comic).

And I won't tell anybody the name of cool unfictionist, who PMed me about the link. And no, I'm not working for fox

*sigh* I missed it.

The show will be re-airing some time on Sunday for those who missed it, and eventually there will be a full online episode.

The full episode is now available.

Screencaps we may need:
The little "fringe will be back in..." screens
Kayak
Parts around the dream sequence with flashing things.

Things of Importance:
Bright flashing lights

That's all I got from the episode itself.

EDIT: I know the ZENO thing has already mentioned, but I thought I'd give a little extra spec. Zeno's paradoxes all deal with mindbending problems where time or distance is cut into halves, which are then cut into halves themselves, and so on into infinity. Which, of course, gives you a reverse set of Fibonacci numbers.
Philip K. Dick, a popular sci-fi author, wrote a story based on Zeno's paradoxes. The story featured... a frog.

don't know that this is a kloo, but I thought it was interesting.

just fwiw, I've updated the kayak comparison pic on flickr to focus on the official pilot =P

Kayak Kloos:
ZENO: References Zeno's Paradoxes, which were heavy in Fibonacci-isms.
Aleph: The Aleph symbol is used in math to describe infinite sets, such as the Fibonacci sequence.
CONSTANT: Just another way to describe Fibonacci.
The Colored Dots: Dunno. Any ideas?

This is unrelated to current conversations but fits in with the thread. There's a Massive Dynamic logo on the nubbin (technical jargon, I know) of the jet engine of the plane that carried the virus after it lands. You can see it here .

Also, the virus plane was flown in on the brand-spankin-new PEARL navigational system, which is mentioned at the MD web site:

Another thing to check: the MD advert after the show. I can't be sure, because of the quick succession (like a general electric commercial), but I think I saw the leaf and the airplane insignias. Can we get a screencap of that?

EDIT: False alarm. The leaf was a maple leaf and the aerospace symbol was a turbine+wing.

The pattern has to do with biological symmetry. That's why there are six fingers on the hands, that's why the twins, that's why the leaf and the apple. The apple was tricky because of the way its cut, but it is also symmetrical.

I'd also think that this 'twinning' will be evident in the entire series. Also leading me to believe that Walter's 'son' is a clone.

Anyway.

I think it's about symmetry.


EDIT: It's about the golden ratio. Or Da Vinci's Divine Proportions. That explains the triangles on the hands.

The symbol on the frog's back is Phi.

The newspaper has a pen and a rose on it as the agent enters Massive Dynamics. Penrose.
