From Quiz
Fringe

2. Which episode marked the final time Special Agent John Scott was seen on "Fringe"?

"The Transformation" resolved the John Scott storyline and was actor Mark Valley's final appearance. He and Anna Torv (Olivia Dunham) got married during the first season, but the marriage did not last and they soon divorced.

From Quiz Patterns in "Fringe"

Answer: August, September and December

The Observers have an unusual appearance, since they are all bald and have no eyebrows. They have appeared as spectators on many important events throughout history and they are able to read someone's thoughts. The Observers usually act in a calm and detached manner, as though they have no emotions. There have been incidents which suggest they are capable of emotions, such as when the Observer called August claimed he loved a woman.

4. With whom did Walter Bishop work before he went into the mental institution?

From Quiz What Do You Know About "Fringe"?

Answer: William Bell

William Bell was formerly the lab partner of Walter Bishop, where they studied an alternate universe and carried out questionable scientific trials.

From Quiz Fringe

Answer: Stealing German state secrets

Due to the high security threat he posed, Olivia is initially unable to gain clearance to speak with Jones. She is finally able to get a brief fifteen minute session with him in hopes of learning how to save Special Agent (and ZFT operative, unbeknownst at the time) Mitchell Loeb.

7. Some of the "Fringe" episodes break away from the normal episode format. Second season's "Brown Betty" was an episode unlike any other in "Fringe". What was so unique about it?

From Quiz Patterns in "Fringe"

Answer: It was a musical episode set in a film noir atmosphere

In the events before "Brown Betty", Peter had found out that he is from the alternate universe. Unable to forgive Walter for lying to him, Peter left Boston. In "Brown Betty", Olivia's niece Ella visited Walter's lab. In order to entertain her, Walter made up a story with the characters of "Fringe", that took place in a film noir setting.

8. There is one character in each episode who is often hard to find but is always present in at least one scene. Who is it?

From Quiz What Do You Know About "Fringe"?

Answer: The Observer

In keeping with the story's plot that the Observers are always watching but rarely acting in human affairs, the Observer always appears in each episode, although often, he is only seen for a very brief period of time and is very easy to miss.

9. How can Olivia travel to the other universe?

From Quiz Fringe

Answer: She was experimented on when she was a kid.

Walter Bishop experimented on her so he could take his son, Peter, back to the other universe. William Bell also helped with this.

10. In the Season 1 episode "Bad Dreams", which former Cortexiphan test subject is Olivia experiencing shared visions with?

From Quiz Fringe

Answer: Nick Lane

Nick Lane appeared two more times over the course of the show, first in the Season 2 finale "Over There" to help Olivia and Walter cross over to the Alternate Universe and then again in the Season 4 episode "Worlds Apart", this time working for David Robert Jones in the altered timeline.

11. Third season's "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide" was another unique "Fringe" episode. What was the feature that made it stand out?

From Quiz Patterns in "Fringe"

Answer: The characters appeared as cartoons for a big part of the episode

In "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide", Peter and Walter went into Olivia's mind after her conscious self disappeared (which is as confusing as it sounds!). There, they met a cartoon version of William Bell (voiced by Leonard Nimoy) and turned into cartoons themselves, while looking for Olivia. "Fringe" had a couple of flashback episodes, but "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide" wasn't one of them.

12. Which FBI agent nearly dies from a parasite that has wrapped itself around his or her heart?

15. Fourth season's "Letters of Transit" strayed from the normal format by being set in a different time and world. When, and in what world, did the events of "Letters of Transit" take place?

From Quiz Patterns in "Fringe"

Answer: In the year 2036, with the world ruled by the Observers

When it originally aired, "Letters of Transit" appeared to be completely out of place, but it soon became clear that it served as a preview of the fifth season, during which the Fringe Team try to overthrow the Observers. In "Letters of Transit", Henrietta Bishop tried to find the members of the original Fringe Team and free them from the amber. At the end of the episode she freed Peter, who recognized her as his and Olivia's daughter.

16. Against even Walter's advise, Olivia willingly goes back into the tank. Why does she risk her life?

From Quiz What Do You Know About "Fringe"?

Answer: She wants to get John Scott's memories out of her head.

Ever since John Scott died, Olivia suffered from memories that were so real, she actually saw and heard him. Fearing for her sanity, she was willing to risk it all to purge her ex-fiance's memories from her mind.

In this world, Peter does die from this rare form of bird flu. In the other, Walter sees his alternate, or "Walternate" find the cure, but not recognize it. He makes the cure and breaks through to the other world to save him.

20. Who had an abusive father?

From Quiz Fringe

Olivia's father would drink and when he came home drunk, he would accuse his wife of cheating and hit her. One day, he hit his wife hard and broke her nose so Olivia found his own gun and shot him but did not kill him.

From Quiz What Do You Know About "Fringe"?

Answer: Walter's wife sees Peter from the other side and he realizes he can't take Peter away from her again.

While it is true that the medicine vial does break when Walter breaks through and he does need to bring Peter back to his lab to save him, he fully intends to keep his promise. However, when Walter's wife, who has just lost her son on this side, sees the other Peter, he realizes that she can't suffer the same loss twice.

23. What was the name of Walter's cow?

From Quiz Fringe

Gene was one of the best characters, in my opinion. Walter wanted a cow because their DNA is a close match to ours.

24. In the Season 3 premiere "Olivia", what does Walternate have Prime Universe Olivia injected with that prevents her from escaping the Alternate Universe?

From Quiz Fringe

Answer: B-lymphocyte cells that replace her memories with Alternate Olivia's

The adrenaline rush that resulted from Olivia's escape from Liberty Island allowed the b-lymphocytes to cross the blood-brain barrier and begin replacing her memories with Alternate Olivia's. Her overwhelming love for Peter manifested itself in her mind as visions of him that ultimately lead to her remembering who she really is.

25. Walter's personality and appearance was similar to that of Alternate Walter (aka Walternate). Walternate, however, had a different job. What was that?

From Quiz Patterns in "Fringe"

When the existence of alternate universes was confirmed at the end of season two, Walternate started a campaign to infiltrate our universe.

28. How does Peter discover that Alternate Olivia is not his Olivia at the end of the Season 3 episode "The Abducted"?

From Quiz Fringe

Answer: A janitor from Liberty Island calls him and gives him a message from Olivia

In the following episode "Entrada", which picks up directly from the last episode, Peter tests Alternate Olivia himself by reciting the Greek phrase that his Olivia spoke to him after she awoke from her coma following her return from the Alternate Universe in the Season 2 premiere "A New Day in the Old Town". Alternate Olivia asks what it means, which confirms Peter's suspicions.

29. Apart from the differences between the alternate versions of people, the alternate universe had another major difference to ours. What was that difference?

From Quiz Patterns in "Fringe"
