See the bigger picture: Fringe Conspiracy or Theories by M.F. Luder & Madamecurie ››
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS & PLOT DANGLERS
  • Why did Agent Broyles take the silicone bomb?
  • Why did Agent Broyles give the Amber Disc to Nina?
  • If they were questioning the "dead" Agent Scott at MD, then who's body, or What was in the coffin they buried at his funeral
  • What was an undercover DEA agent doing with such an important piece of technology [the amber disc] embedded in her hand?
  • Who was the man snapping digital pictures of Peter Bishop?

PLOT HOLES, INCONSISTENCIES OR JUST PLAIN IMPOSSIBLE?
Add unbelievable incidents or sci-fi faux pas to this list!
  • In the opening scenes, the bus being boarded by the unnamed bad guy is operated by "Harbor Transit." All buses operated within metro-Boston (outside of interstate busing providers that use the city as a hub) are owned by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Association (MBTA.)
  • The internment scene during Episode 3, Act 2, takes place at Mt. Briar Cemetery. There is no cemetery in metro-Boston by that name.
  • After any type of brain surgery, a patient would require several days of rest and little movement to avoid any pressure inside the cranial cavity, not the short time span up and about depicted in Episode 3.

  • The mysterious bad guys have perfected the ghost network for secure communication. Why does Roy pick-up conversations made on a cell-phone/walkie-talkie? Why are they using technology at all if they have a ghost network?
