A Fringe fan and clever code-cracker named Julian Sanchez has figured out that the glyphs shown as Fringe goes to and returns from commercials refer to letters of the alphabet.

You can read about how he figured it out at his blog here. What’s cool is that each episode’s glyphs spell out a word that relates to the show’s theme that night. Here are the episodes that Mr. Sanchez has translated so far (the two notes in brackets are his notes):

1:  OBSERVER
2:  CHILD
3:  AEGER  [? -- AETHER would make more sense for the episode]
4:  ROGUE
5:  SURGG [should be SURGE?]
6:  CELLS
7:  CODES
8:  TAKEN
9:  VOICE
10: TRADE
11: SAVED
12: BISHOP
13: AVIAN
14: OLIVIA
