More than you did!  :P
Fringe S2E05 'Dream Logic'.  IMDb sez: "People who once had sleeping problems but were cured by having a biochip inserted in their brain suddenly start to die. Walter suspects the chips were accessed by someone who used mind control."
The glyphs in this episode spell "betray".
Astrid Farnsworth: [referring to experimenting on a drugged FBI agent] Walter, I do not think this is a very good idea.
Dr. Walter Bishop: Don't be such a grinch. I told you - science should be fun!
Astrid's name of the week this week is "Astrix".
Peter is beginning to remember....
Fringe S2E06 'Earthling'.  First contact, Fringe style.
The glyphs say "dejavu'.
[Talking to CIA agent some time after Broyles shot the cosmonaut host in the head]
Broyles: What did you guys do with him?  The cosmonaut.
Mystery Man: We had no choice.  Once he started breathing again.  *looks up at the stars*
Fringe S2E07 'Of Human Action'.  The Fringies deal with a teen who can control minds.  Ya, he's going to be _completely_ rational about using that ability!
The glyphs say "arrive".
Walter Bishop: Once you are given the order to put on the headphones, do not remove them under any circumstances. If you do, you may die a gruesome and horrible death. Thank you for your attention and have a nice day.  (Just another day in Bishopstein's lab.)
Continuity Error: Walter is examining the policewoman's brain, and finds damage to it from the villains' mind control techniques. He would be very unlikely to be able to differentiate such damage from the damage resulting from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head, especially from a 9mm bullet. He would, in fact, be rather lucky to find the brain all in one piece.
