Fringe/Recap/S01 E03

Season 1, Episode 3:

It's odd enough when the occupants of a city bus are encased in an amber-like substance, but when the Fringe team investigates, they learn that a man predicted not only the bus attack, but several other Pattern-related disasters.


 * And I Must Scream: As we learn later (much, much later), people encased in Amber are still technically alive.
 * Early-Bird Cameo: That Amber? You're going to see it again. Eventually.
 * Mundane Utility: Walter's pretty sure the Ghost Network receiver can be recalibrated to receive free cable.
 * Omniglot: Astrid reveals this to be her secret talent.
 * Psychic Link: Subverted; the Ghost Network has been commandeered by the mysterious agents to transmit regular radio waves, but the man with the receiver in his head still picks it up and his brain attempts to unscramble the data as best it can.
