What did we miss?

- A while back, I started on a red, yellow, blue color kick. It all started with a closeup of a taperoll holder. Well here it is, way back in episode 2. Turns out, it has been in the lab all along…

I might really be grasping at straws this time, but here goes. During one of the scenes at the hospital, you can see food on a tray. At first I thought it was toast and pickles, but who serves pickles with toast? It seemed more likely to me that it was a grilled cheese sandwich and pickles.
lab notes
Why is that important, you ask? Well, in the lab notes for Episode 102 “Same Old Story” there is a grilled cheese sandwich and a pickle…
pickle
The interesting part is that the Mini-Observer has a whole sandwich and whole pickles, while Walter has only a portion of a sandwich and a portion of a pickle. Is this meant to be a clue, or am I just seeing meaning where there is none?
truth
Might it be that Mini-Observer has the whole story, knows the whole truth, and has all the answers, while Walter only knows part of the story, some of the truth and some of the answers? I think it’s very plausible that even with all that Walter has seen and done, that it’s only the tip of the iceberg.
observer
Is it possible that this is another clue that the young boy really is an ‘Observer‘? In all of the photos from “The Arrival” of the Observer, he was the same age, but perhaps he started out just like this boy, young and unfamiliar, but with an obvious awareness above and beyond human capabilities (except possibly Olivia).
connection
So what is the connection to Episode 102 “Same Old Story”? I think it’s possible that this young ‘Observer’ will grow very fast, perhaps becoming an adult in a matter of a few months. I don’t think it would be throught pituitary manipulation, like in Episode 102, but rather some sort of process designed by his own kind (whatever kind that is).
thoughts
Well, like I said, I might be stretching it with this one, but I will be curious to see if a future episode (this season or next) will reveal the boys growth rate. Anyone have any thoughts?

On the one way sign in Episode 2, there is a sticker with the words “Voces Video”. In Latin this translates to – “See Voices” – the problem affecting Roy McComb (in Episode 3) before Dr. Bishop treats his condition…

The team is looking through Walter’s files looking for evidence of Progeria or Pituitary:
Olivia: “Progeria – case file by Dr. Penrose.”
Walter: “Yes, Penrose, Penrose, I remember him. A former collegue of mine.”

O.K. So let’s talk about the bridge. Astrid said she recognized it – that it was in Stoughton and it was called Sergeant Bridge. I did my research…there is no bridge in Stoughton by that name, or anywhere else in Massachusetts. As a matter of fact, I couldn’t find a bridge in any of the states with that name. Second of all, Stoughton is a landlocked town. No water…no bridge. There’s no railway bridges, no toll bridges and definitely no canal or river bridges. That begs the question…what bridge is it? Here is the bridge…
