When the elevator crashed into the basement, the explanation was that an electrical surge had DRIVEN it in its downward fall. Yet later in the episode, someone observed that the number of people occupying it during its plunge had exceeded its maximum 2000-lb weight limit, hinting that excess weight had caused or contributed to the "accident." If we are to believe the first reason, the second is irrelevant, no?

"Whenever Fringe seems to defy physics, just Google the particular Fringe phenomenon along with the words "Quantum Physics". Even if you don't get an answer, you usually get a half-decent hypothesis. It doesn't have to be possible in the "real world". It just has to follow the internal logic of the Fringeiverse.
Hypothesis: If Electro-Kid was generating the electricity which magnetized the elevator car, would that cause him to levitate in the direct centre of the car's magnetic field? Of course, I still don't get how he magnetized the car. Doesn't an electrical current have to travel AROUND a ferrous object in order to magnetize it (the wire coils on an electromagnet)? Besides, Electro-Kid 'appeared' to discharge static electricity, which damages RAM by magnetizing the millions of tiny electrical switches, but I don't think it can magnetize a large ferrous object like an elevator car. So far in Fringe, the pseudoscience has been grounded in "real-world" physics, so it would be disappointing if there's no satisfying way to explain how Electro-Boy affected the elevator." If a question arises about circuitless electrical phenomena, check out Tesla and his theories. I'm Wikipedia has something on him. If things (politics) had gone differently, we would be living in a Tesla-type (wireless) electrical world, instead of the Edison-type (wired) electrical world we are in.

What if everything ends and begins, somehow, with William Bell? What if Hymenoptera's much beloved "converging" wet AI is merely an advanced version of Bell, sending his conciousness through time into various "husks " <i.e. the Observer, the original William Bell, possibly even Walter Bishop in a thread of time that meets William Bells own time, etc.). What if all the variable threads of the Pattern are not so much an attempt to test the world leading to it's eventual collapse, (Fibonacci style) but an attempt at rectifying the existing paradoxes of Quantum Reality existing within the Fringverse? What if the Observer, Bell, Bishop, the future AI, are all one and the same threads existing at the same time trying to figure out which central point to converge to in order to end the paradox ............. kind of like a universe that is ever expanding but will collapse on itself immediately at the moment it expands to it's maximum (a good example of this would be the George Bush Galaxy) ...

I hope people other than myself noticed the issue with the supposed 'Japanese Maglev' train crash featured at the start of the episode, firstly the Train pictured was not maglev design but rather a British Class 390 "Pendolino" train in Virgin Trains colours and was built by Fiat, the drive unit pictured was infact the 390 033 "City of Glasgow "unit. The Train in question was 1S83 and was running the 17.15 West Coast mainline service from London Euston to Glasgow, it detailed near the small village of Grayrigg at 95 mph on the 23rd of february 2007. In addition to two gentlemen in Hi vis PPE jackets were british transport police, not japanese investigators. Seems a strange addition to the episode especially when the inccident shown is under a certain amount of continued investigation in the UK by the RAIB and Network Rail over responsibilities involving track maintenance.... rail and sleeper maintenance that is ...not maglev maintenance lol!!

"I third that 'Right'
It's our job, I think I got paid to do it. Or someone dumped all of these cases of circus peanuts outside my house by accident.
*Hands them out to all her friends?*
Lord knows, I'm not eating any after the original MadameCurie circus peanut quote!
*Blinks*
*Puts a bunch of circus peanuts on the front lawn for the Faeries!*
" are these real peanuts or those Orange candy circus peanuts? if they are the candy ones, opps sorry those were mine but i guess 5 sec rule is over by now, u can have them!
