Things you never noticed about Olivia's apartment (3/7)

By @DannaAissa & @Chapman2014

Have you ever felt lost in Olivia’s apartment scenes? Did you ever have the feeling something has changed but don't know what? You’re not alone! We noticed that too, so we investigated a little bit and found out that Olivia’s apartment is changing all the time. We’re going to expose the main "discoveries" we've made.

<- Part 2

#3 The mysterious spaces
During Season 1, Rachel and Ella lived with Olivia in her apartment, but where did they sleep? Olivia's apartment just has one bedroom!

Let's follow Ella in this video from episode 1x12:

Ella goes through the kitchen to brush her teeth. We don't realise where the bathroom is until season 2, therefore, we think this is the way to the bathroom.

At the end of the same episode (1x12) Rachel goes to put Ella to bed and they follow the very same path:

If we take a look at that part of the kitchen we see a door. What's behind it? The bathroom? Another room? Judging from the light, it seems like the door leads to a patio.

There's also another door in the living room that shows us it's impossible to have a room there.

The mysteries don't end here. Ok, they want us to think the extra bedroom is there, but then, why does Ella go to get dressed in the opposite side in episode 1x15?

Did you notice where Ella goes? She dissapears through the apartment's front door! Is she sleeping at the neighbour's now? ;P
Another goof!

Things you never noticed about Olivia's apartment (2/7)

#2 Changes on the façade and the corridor

This is the façade of Olivia's apartment, appearing for the very first time in episode 1x06:

You'd think they'd want to show that Olivia lives in the apartment with the lights on, right? But according to this floor plan that's not possible, Olivia lives in the one with the lights off and that's in another building.

This is the establishing shot for every episode but three:

1x12, 1x15 and 1x18

In 1x12 (The No-brainer) Olivia runs to her apartment to save Ella but the façade is not the one we know of.

In 1x15 (Inner Child) and 1x18 (Midnight) the image preceding Olivia's apartment scene is different. They changed the façade again! We can also see that façade on some episodes later on like 4x04.

Let's talk about the corridor now. This is how it looks in Season 1:

And this is the corridor in Season 2 and 3:

While she's clearly living in the same apartment, the corridor changes from season 2 onwards: there's no staircase and she no longer lives near the entrance of the building. Another goof!

Things you never noticed about Olivia's apartment (1/7)

#1 Olivia's apartment completely changes after episode 1x06

In episodes 1x01 to 1x06, the living room and bedroom were integrated into one space, and the kitchen door was in front of the bed. You can clearly see that in episode 1x04 when Olivia arrives home, goes to the kitchen and John Scott appears.

But from episode 1x09 on we see 3 different spaces and the kitchen is now at the other end of the apartment.

The apartment is so different, you'd think she'd moved to a new one. It turns out that the shot of the building's façade, at the start of every apartment scene, is always the same (We'll talk more about the façade later on). Maybe she moved to another apartment inside the same building? But again, the image preceding the apartment scenes always shows the same windows. Maybe she refurbished the apartment? That doesn't seem possible either. So what happened?

Here are the plans of both apartments:

Prophetic Scenes (Part XI - the last one)

By Danna Aissa (@DannaAissa)

During my last Fringe rewatch I took note of some scenes that give us clues to what will happen further on and I've been sharing them with you for the last 2 months an a half. But everything comes to an end and this is the last one of my Tuesday-posts. Hope you have enjoyed them!

Well, technically you're right, Astrid... he doesn't exist YET...

Indeed!!

That's why all this amazing story started :)

Prophetic Scenes (Part X)

By Danna Aissa (@DannaAissa)

During my last Fringe rewatch I took note of some scenes that give us clues to what will happen further on. Some of them are so big that you can't believe they're revealing that information at that point, and some of them are simply little anecdotes. I thought it would be fun to put them together here.

Milo was the first observer.

The ambered people are not dead!

Is he talking about Etta?

More scenes next Tuesday!

Prophetic Scenes (Part IX)

By Danna Aissa (@DannaAissa)

We know, Walter...

Did you notice how similar these conversations are? In both cases it was their last conversation. And in both cases they couldn't keep their promises...
