Thoughts on "The Same Old Story"

Last night brought us the second episode of Fringe and with that second episode but us more questions on what exactly is "The Pattern". Some of the main questions that i have after this episode are:

1. What role does the group that Phillip Broyles was briefing, only 45 minutes after the woman gave birth, have to play?

2. What happened to the first investigative team that Broyles mentions in this briefing to "The Group"?

3. Why is it that "The Group" is contacted and convened, before the investigative team?

4. The last scene seems to indicate that the work, started by Dr. Bishop, to grow an army of soldiers in three years is continuing. Who is carrying out this continued research and what will these grown soldiers be used for?

Six Days - Six New Posters to Share

With only six days to go till the premier episode of Fringe, we are pleased to share six more promotional posters.

This first series is in black and white and seems to have some sort of ink blot pattern.

The next series of posters can be merged into one larger poster and the theme for this poster seems to revolve around spheres.

New Tag-Line for FRINGE - ASK. IMAGINE. INVESTIGATE.

Fox has released some new promotional posters for Fringe which proclaim a new tag-line for the show. The photos also have some very interesting designs in them relating to angles, reflections, and refractions.

The other interesting feature of the second set of pictures is the same set of angles in the background, and the fact that the series is meant to form a cylinder.

Has anyone found anything interesting in the series when they are assembled in the cylinder shape?

New Evidence for Case_0091. This time with Tornado Action.

A new piece of evidence was added to the Imagine The Impossibilities Fringe site yesterday. Evidence_0007 is a .gif image of the word "PARKERSBURG" written in braille.

"PARKERSBURG" is a reference to Parkersburg, IA, where an EF5 tornado struck on May 25, 2008. When you click on one of the Braille dots in the final letter "R" you are directed to the two video files that are hosted at real online weather website called WeatherMatrix.net. Below you will find the video files in mention, that someone has downloaded and posted to Youtube.

This is a video from inside a bank of the tornado.

This a video viewing a house destroyed by the tornado.

What connection could this have to Case_91? Is this just more evidence of how far The Pattern has gotten out of control?

Massive Dynamics - Seeking Singularity?

I came across an interisting article on Engadget today. The article told of how the CTO of Intel believes that Singularity (the merging of man and machine) will be a reality by 2050. Here is what Intel CTO Justin Rattner actually said.

"The industry has taken much greater strides than anyone ever imagined 40 years ago," Rattner said. "There is speculation that we may be approaching an inflection point where the rate of technology advancements is accelerating at an exponential rate, and machines could even overtake humans in their ability to reason, in the not so distant future."

This got me thinking about what was said at Massive Dynamics by Nina Sharp, when she said:

"We've reached a point where science and technology have advanced at an exponential rate for so long... that it may be far beyond our ability to regulate and control it."

Could it be that Massive Dynamics is the entity behind The Pattern, and that their ultimate goal is a misguided effort to bring about a better world through singularity, no matter what the cost? Could this effort even be out of their control now?
