Seahorse glyph
A seahorse can be seen in Walter's Monty Python trip.
Connection
Ten Observers are present on Liberty island in "The Day We Died" from an assumed total of 12. One of the missing two Observers might be John Mosley, a potential former Observer, who was killed in "The Arrival". See the FAQs for more information (note: FAQs contain spoilers through season 5).
