Tonight on FRINGE:

When it’s discovered that a rather simple man has the ability to harness electricity, dangerous and deadly occurrences follow, and our unlikely trio investigates this super-charged oddity. Meanwhile, Olivia has a high-voltage encounter of a different kind when she is rocked by a blast from her past, and Dr. Bishop turns to his feathered friends and enlists homing pigeons to help him break the case.

John Noble:
“Like many workaholics, Walter is almost an absentee father to some degree - totally focused on his work. Certainly he would have been a good provider, but not the ideal dad in terms of emotional contact. He was imprisoned when his son Peter was going through his most difficult teenage years. Joshua has incredible insight into this from his own life and I do as a father myself. I know how it works. We really enjoy spending hours, he and I, just discussing how they would relate to each other and how they would feel.”

You Have Cracked Open Walter’s Brain - ANSWERS

Remember when we asked you to pick out the pop-culture references in Walter’s Lab Notes from “The Arrival?”

(See the Lab Notes here)

And while the writers had thought they had used nine, they forgot one.  So now there are 10 references:

1.    “All around the mulberry bush” — from an English nursery rhyme
2.    “Thank you sir, may I have another” — from the 1978 film Animal House
3.    “It’s a fair wind that bloweth no man any ill” — a take on an old proverb by English writer John Heywood: “An ill winde that bloweth no man to good.”
4.    “The walls, the walls, push [move] back the walls” — from Joseph Heller’s 1961 novel Catch-22
5.    Sioux City Sarsaparilla — a root-beer-like soft drink, made famous in the 1998 film The Big Lebowski
6.    The Fisher King –  a mythological figure who guarded the Holy Grail; also, the title of a 1991 Terry Gilliam film
7.    “A tisket a tasket” –  from an English nursery rhyme
8.    “Back to where I [you] once belonged” — from the Beatle’s 1969 song “Get Back”
9.    “Kenneth, what’s the frequency?” — a question posed to Dan Rather by a deranged man in 1986; also, a 1994 song by REM
10.   “Turn the page” — a reference to the 1973 Bob Seger song

Big props to Pam who not only found most of them but even spotted some more references!
