Was it actually mentioned here?
On the official site of Fringe (http://fox.com/fringe/) there are numbers inside of titles:

1NFO - B1OS - BLOG R3CAPS - WATCH FULL EP15ODES & VIDEOS - GALL3RY - FEATUR3S - SHOW COMMUN1TY NEW5LETTER

= 1 1 3 15 3 3 1 5

Are there just c00l l33t-speak? Or more significant?

I found it funny the German air company (supported by MD) has a name "Glattenflug". The meaning of this German phrase is "waveless/flat flight". It's a little bit weird, because "Glatten Flug" is accusative case, what would implicate it's kind of goodwish: "I wish you waveless flight = Ich wünsche Dir einen glatten Flug". But in German, such a wish sounds weird. Usually people wish "Guten Flug" (good flight).

Anyway, I don't know, if there will be such Company in the ARG, but I think, it was significant to re-design Lufthansa crane to new German air-company. And also it's significant, MD has some companies in Germany.

(I suppose, the MD sign in aircrafts is a prove for connection to MD).

And, yes, I'm watching the Pilot now. Don't ask me, how Smile


My guess is it's an English-speaker's attempt at making up a cool-sounding German name, and that type of thing would get past them, most likely.

As mentioned on FringeTV Walter's notes have been posted on episode recaps on foxonfringe.com Fibonacci is mentioned,theta waves. Also when you pass your cursor over the text of the pilot, the tone from the nature motifs is heard..specifically on the words"hazmat suit".

I think you mean http://www.fox.com/fringe/ but I went ahead and tried foxonfringe.com and then I tried www.fringeonfox.com which redirects to http://www.seeingpatterns.com I did a search here and on the wikis and didn't find anything. Is this a new website or did I miss something. It's just a blank page as far as I can see. Last updated on Sept. 3rd.

Well, it's cool Orci mentions the website here, but I would be cautious about every things show makers are telling about IG/OOG-Sites...

Of course, the Ethan Haas site was oficially demented by JJ Abrams as fully OOG site. But on another hand another Cloverfield-IG-websites wasn't declared by Cloverfield-Makers for long time as beeing IG.

So look what does Orci say about glowingmonkeys:

Quote:
FringeTelevision.com: What can you tell us about http://www.glowingmonkeys.com?

Roberto Orci: That was one of the websites that inspired us, that inspired the show along with rense.com and infowars.com. Just various sort of alternative news sites out there that in a way cover the kind of the fringe science type articles that you don't always find in mainstream news organization sources.


For the first impression it looks like little trubut to cool news site glowingmonkeys, as their URL appears in the pilot. But: this is really new site and the first entry of the blog is Friday, June 13, 2008


And - I don't know, when was the pilot made, but it's unautorized version leaked... on June 15, 2008

So you see: between the first entry of glowingmonkeys and the leakage of the pilot are 2 days. So they haven't enough time to be inspired by glowingmonkeys.

Can somebody check out, whether that leaked version also has the glowingmonkeys.com-url? If yes - in this case is glowingmonkeys totally IG.

And for Mr. Orci it would be perhaps not so cool to say in the interview "Yes, this is ingame site, look there, it will have many hints".

Btw, the themes of glowing monkey are really fitting into concept of Fringe. So since they write only about their appearence in the TV show (not naming it), and also post a picture with MassiveDynamics (they seem to have an "occasion" to be exactly in the same frame with "Massive Dynamic" cool location title) it seems to be kind of Rachel-Blake-esk intrusion of fiction into the real world.

What do you think about it?

P.S. And btw, I love these location titles in Fringe.

Must agree with kosmopol, both on 'glowingmonkeys is too new to have inspired Fringe' (if he's right about the date the pilot leaked - or even if he's not, as they would have been working on the show for a while before even the leak occurred - and if the leaked pilot had the url on the lightpost) as well as on loving the location titlecard design.

According this post they changed the sequence of Massive dynamic in the final pilot version (compared to the initial leaked version):

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YPCf8JFgUdI/SMiyRjjiOAI/AAAAAAAAHhw/GSRrVrsDIFI/s1600-h/MassiveDynamicsHQ.jpg

But I'll follow glowingmonkeys, since many indices make me belive, they were IG site.

er we all know that it's on hulu, right? (is NBC thing, NBC is behind on ratings and ahead on net presence which = buy tha stock IMHO). By now if you watch it somewhere else it's prbbly bounced from hulu anyway.

http://www.hulu.com/fringe

Maybe next few episodes there too?

Only thing from tonight I really caught was that the combination for Walters garage was 314159. Pi anyone? Didn't immediately recognize the numbers he is repeating at the end but it was not the Fibanocci sequence.

The only thing i caught from tonight's episode was towards the end, right after the last commercial break. The camera is panning up from a street sign towards the building and below the street sign on what appears to be a one way sign: the arrow pointing to the right says VOCES VIDEO.
Did a quick Google and didn't find much besides a Youtube Indian poem video.
