Continuity mistake: The front license plate on John's SUV falls off during the chase with Olivia. It reappears seconds later. (01:15:30)
Fringe (2008)
1 continuity mistake in Pilot - chronological order
Starring: Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Anna Torv, Jasika Nicole
Continuity mistake: Charlie, Olivia's former partner and friend in the FBI shows up in this episode during the interview with Mrs. Rusk, but Charlie was killed off by one of the shapeshifters in a previous episode, and the shapeshifter that killed Charlie was himself killed off by Olivia, who in other episodes reflected back on killing him. This episode was supposedly meant to be in season 1 as ep 21 or 22. Unknown why they didn't air it then, and decided to put it in the middle of season 2 (for no apparent reason).
Phillip Broyles: Someone out there is experimenting, only the whole world is their lab.
The Arrival - S1-E4
Trivia: Michael Cerveris makes his first significant appearance in this episode as The Observer/Bald Man. However if you watch the series from the beginning, he makes fleeting appearances in every episode, sometimes on a tv screen.
Question: Does Dr. Bishop mistakenly refer to Astrid by her actual name "Jasika" when they are in his lab with the CDC technician?
