Fringe S2E22 'Over There: Part 1'.
Olivia travels with Walter to have a word with Belly.
The glyphs in this episode spell "Weapon".
Senator Walter "Walternate" Bishop: They may look like us, but don't be fooled, Olivia. They are monsters in our skin.
Alternate Universe episodes have red tinted intro. 1986 set episodes have a retro intro. Alternate timeline episodes have an amber tinted intro. Future episodes have a darker prison themed intro.
When Peter regains consciousness in the room full of medical equipment, just as the "anesthesia" lights go out you hear three musical notes. They're from the chorus of a song by George M. Cohan, entitled "Over There".
The US map on Walternate's wall is of the contiguous states only and much of the west coast south of the state of Oregon is missing, including all of western California. Clearly, in that universe the San Andreas fault had given way.
A poster in the background of one scene in the alternate universe is advertising for an upcoming season 11 of The West Wing. In our universe, The West Wing ran for 7 seasons.
As With many background details in the RED universe, the Windows logos shown in this episode are slightly different from those in this universe. The alternate logos most closely resemble the Windows Server 2008 or Windows 7 2009 logos, but have extra elements: 'bubbles' in the upper right corner and faint streaks of white around the edges. This episode aired on May 20, 2010, when the most recently updated version of the Windows logo (in this universe) would have been for Windows 7.
No one on the "other side" recognizes Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. There is now talk of replacing Jackson on that bill.
Walternate's Office on Liberty Island has three colored squares on the wall - Blue, Red, and Amber. These are the same colors used to represent the three different universes in the open credits.
First time introduction is the RED universe. They see a $20 bill and ask: "Who the hell is Jackson?" Additionally, RED Lincoln floats a Nixon silver dollar to test the "fringe anomaly".
