[Fringe][Show] Episode 2 discussion. First I'd like to say, I'm Phoenix and I've been reading these boards for awhile. I read and participated a bit in the Iris and Cloverfield ARGs. I figured I'd get the episode 2 discussion started since I didn't see a thread for it yet.
Episode 2 was great. Did anyone happen to write down the numbers Walter said while trying to go to sleep. Do they relate to Fibonacci in any way or could they be used as a url? Any other thoughts on the episode?

Well it sounded like he said a lot more then just 314159. I'm pretty sure I heard a 6 and a 2 in there somewhere. I'm pretty sure he said a number in the 6 hundreds at some point also. Bah. I wish they'd get the episodes online faster.

Well I didn't realize that he was mumbling PI, but 26 are the next two digits in pi.

314159 was the combination to the storage garage. I didn't happen to write down the mumbled numbers. I thought at first it was the Fibonacci sequence. Nope. I remember 1 1 33 5 77... (may not have been that order)

Walter's Numbers I was able to catch some of the numbers Walter was mumbling:
First set: 1 2 3 <something> 13 21 34 55
Second set: 1 2 33 3 77 2 21 6
Googling the first set brings up several results - all of them seem to be related to the Fibonacci Series (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89...). The second set doesn't seem to bring up anything of significance.

yup the first is fibonacci... I've got a bunch of stuff listed on the wiki page
The sequences (already downloaded, rewatched, and checked ) are
0 1 2 3 8 13 21 34 55 - fibonacci sequence (he missed a 1 and 5)
1 2 33 3 7 7 2 21 6 110 - no idea what this is.... strange...
there were a few interesting elements, but nothing really stood out as 'meta' in the sense that they were related to anything other than, say foreshadowing or something, as opposed to codes on the dream kayak for instance
this episode seemed a little tamer in that sense

When Olivia got offered the job at Massive Dynamic, I was like, "Yes. Come on, come on! Take it!" And then she refused I was like, "Ah crap..."
Because if she took the job, we'd have a new possible email.
Still she might end up taking the job. So keep o.dunham@massivedynamic in mind when/if she does. It really does sound inevitable since that may be the only way she'll get any information on Walter Bishop's odd hint at the end.
Someone got the sense that Walter and Peter were actually brothers, but Walter called Peter "Son" at the end when they were trying to go to sleep, so I think that's out.
I do want to know what the deal was with the clones at the end. I'm guessing that was the army of men they were growing that they were talking about earlier in the episode.

One thing I did catch that stood out.
At one point Olivia yells at Peter to call 17224. Obviously not a full phone number, but its five digits like one of those SMS short codes. I tried sending a text from my phone, but no response.

In the first set I heard 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 (He only missed a 5)
In the second set I heard it like this: 1 233 377 221 610
Which are Fibonacci again excepting the 221.

ok you're right, there is another 1 in there, he does say it twice...
and you know, the 2nd set actually does make sense now, listening carefully... he's not separating the single digits, he's just drawing the numbers out. So:
1, 2, 33, 3, 77, 2, 21, 6, 110 ("hundred and ten")
does actually work to 1, 233, 377, 221, 610
so in the 2nd set, the 1 and 221 are inconsistent... and he skipped 89 and 144
good catch

Ok, I know that glowingmonkeys has, by and large, been ruled as OOG. However, look at the two most recent updates. They both deal with DNA, and what did last nights episode deal with? Genetics. I am NOT ruling out glowingmonkeys.

Not ruling out glowingmonkeys.com either. There was an update a few days ago about Progeria. You know, the disease that makes people appear to prematurely age. Sound familiar? Of course, the concept of last nights episode were already know at the time of the post. I'm just saying...
