Season: Whole show  1  2  3  All

Across whole show

The girl with pyrokinesis is named Nancy Lewis, as shown in "The Road Not Taken". However, in "Over There", she is referred to as Sally Clark. Even though it's a different actress playing her, it's obviously the same character, as there is no one else with that power and there is no S. Clark on the height chart in Jacksonville. [Maybe this character has changed her name. I have many friends who have done so. Otherwise in the imaginary world of superheroes/superpowers it could just be another person with pyrokinesis. It is possible.]

The Transformation (series 1)

Nina Sharp states that the glass disk found in John's body will implode when the host dies. However, the disk found in Marshall Bowman is just fine, despite the fact that Bowman has been dead for quite some time. [By this point, it's become clear that Nina Sharp doesn't always tell the complete truth.]

The Ghost Network (series 1)

Dr. Bishop asks Peter to play him Bach's Mass in A minor on the piano. There is no Mass in A minor. The Mass is in B minor. [Doctor Bishop has shown himself to have memory problems on several occasions. While a genius in many fields of academic and scientific endeavour, there's no indication that his interest in music is any more than a casual one. He simply remembered incorrectly, which is not grounds for a mistake.]

Pilot (series 1)

The 'German language', which the people on the plane at the beginning speak, sounds very much like the actors come from Eastern Europe. The old couple and the flight attendant speak German with a heavy accent. The flight captain's German is grammatically wrong and also doesn't sound like he is a real German. Are there no unemployed German wannabe-actors in Hollywood? And the Danish guy doesn't even try to speak German when most of the Danish people speak at least a bit of German. He just says "I'm from Denmark". Chances are big he also could have tried to say that in German. [My dad speaks German. Low German. My stepmother speaks German.but they are completely different dialects and accents. Eastern European German may sound different if the person lived most of their life in East Germany, which had a Soviet occupation for almost 50 years. There's a strong Russian influence on language for Germans from East Germany. Define a 'real' German. "Most" Danes speaking a little bit of German doesn't mean they all do, just as most Canadians aren't bilingual in English and French, even though it's officially a bilingual country.]
Edit
The contagion used on Flight 627 was apparently so contagious that every passenger became infected in seconds. However, when John is infected with the contagion, Olivia, Peter, Walter, and the other doctors are able to tend to to him without getting infected. [Actually, they stated that they had lowered the guy's body temperature enough to make the infection spread really slowly, so if the characters were in the room with him, they wouldn't be affected if the infection could only travel so fast.]
Edit

All of series 2 (series 2)

Season 2, episode 14 "Jacksonville": Right in the beginning, the show spells "Manhattan" wrong; they spelled it with only one "t". [That's entirely intentional - this scene is not set in the main Fringe universe, but in the parallel world where many things are different, including, apparently, the spelling of "Manhattan".]
