Corrected entry: 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.

Corrected entry: SPOILERS FOR THE FINAL SEASON: The main character's plan is to ensure that the Observers were never created. When the plan is executed, time is reset and Peter and Olivia are back in the park with their daughter. Really think this through: If the Observers never existed, September would've never interrupted Walternate when he discovered The Cure for Peter's illness and Walter would've never crossed over to save him, thus Peter and Olivia would've never met in a world with no Observers. But they are together in the reset timeline.
Correction: But in a world where the Observers take over in the 21st century, there would never be humans to create the first Observers in the future. The time travel in Fringe does not follow conventional time travel rules, allowing for paradoxes. It was frequently stated that the timeline would reset at the moment of the invasion.

The Equation - S1-E8
Corrected entry: In the scene where Ben's father is showing the video of Ben playing the piano, he fast forwards to "Two weeks later", when Ben is composing his own music, but Ben is wearing the same shirt from the start of the video, which was nine months ago.
Correction: I don't see the mistake? People have been known wear the same t-shirt, even the same outfit every now and then. I admittedly, once wore the same pair of jeans and my favorite t-shirt for 4 days in a row.

Corrected entry: Raul Lugo gets stuck halfway between the wall and is alive for several seconds before Loeb kills him. In reality, the wall would crush his internal organs and he would die instantly. No need for Loeb to shoot him.
Correction: That's like saying "in reality" while referring to the transporter on Star Trek. The fact is we know nothing about how this fictional technology works so we don't know what would happen. It's possible his body simply merged with the wall and it took a while for it to shut down.

Corrected entry: When they get the idea to poison the larvae inside Charlie, Peter says that the poison killed the larvae. Yet, later, when they do the sonogram, the larvae are still in his stomach.
Correction: The poison killed the larvae, it didn't dissolve them.

Corrected entry: Right before the second body is found, Olivia interviews Luke Dempsey. After the second body is examined, while Peter leaves with the hard drives, Olivia says that she's going to interview Luke. She just did that.
Correction: With the discovery of a second body and Luke Dempsey is the prime suspect, why can't Olivia interview him again?

Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: By this point, it's become clear that Nina Sharp doesn't always tell the complete truth.

Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: 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.

Correction: The two are obviously different characters. Nancy Lewis and Susan Pratt (formerly Lewis) are identical pyrokinetic twins with curly red hair. Sally Clark isn't even somewhat similar looking to the two as she is shorter and has straight blonde hair, and no one references meeting her before. Broyles and Nina were secretly tracking down subjects on their own, and Sally is probably one of them. Simon Phillips from season 3 wasn't on the chart either and was said to be from the Wooster trials, as they said in "Ability" that Jacksonville wasn't the only place where Cortexiphan was tested, so the same is likely true of Sally. The three of them just all happen to be pyrokinetic.
