Fringe

[Tannhauser]

Yeah that's a nice contrast.  But poor Astrid, she only exists to ask how Walter and Olivia are feeling.  And Olivia is really too passive this season.  But I am enjoying it a lot more now after the mine episode.  The references to old Fringe cases make me happy in my fan pants.

An interesting thought after last night's eps:

Damn, son, I think you're on to something 

[Merusk]

That's where I figured they were going the minute he took that first step.

[raydeen]

Goddamn if tonight's episode didn't have the most epic Walter trip ever.

[Surlyboi]

The Terry Gilliam was strong with that one.

The Terry Gilliam was strong with that one.

I can't wait until that gets uploaded to Youtube. That was possibly the most brilliant sequence they've done on the show. I thought Grand Theft Auto: Fringe was great but this took the cake.

Monty Python + Fringe = 

[cironian]

We can't stop here. This is Python country.

[Pennilenko]

While this episode was good i am still pissed off by last weeks episode.

The frog in the "python" clip was also in the warehouse at the dock before they got on the boat. Kinda freaked me out when I saw it the first time. Had to rewind to make sure I wasn't seeing things.

[Mrbloodworth]

I did the same thing :)

[raydeen]

Well holy fucking shit. Look who the leader of the Observers is. I don't think there's an emoticon awesome enough to that choice justice.

[Surlyboi]

And next week looks -insane-

[Trippy]

Next week is the 2 hour series finale.

[Surlyboi]

Yes. I'm both excited and sad at the same time.

Can you explain?  Didn't recognize.  Good episode, really touching moment between Walter and Peter. Meanwhile, Olivia can't even be trusted to guard a kid.  Otherwise a setup episode for the series finale.

Well unless I'm completely wrong,
edit: I'm probably completely off my rocker. I didn't pay attention to the credits last night, can't find an online copy that has the credits, can't find any evidence that it is indeed this actor other than the fellow had expressed an interest on being on the show and some upvotes I got on reddit for making a similarly cryptic post. I don't know if I even need to spoiler it. I just didn't want to wreck the surprise for anyone in case I was right.

Oh well. Slinking away now.

[cironian]

Well unless I'm completely wrong,

Huh. Not sure, but it might be. I didn't see anything while watching, but looking at the still frame the nose and ears are just about right. Really hard to tell with the observer makeup and the no hair. But then I didn't recognize  at first either.

(edit because not sure if spoiler)

(edit because not sure if spoiler)

I went back and watched the scene again online and I'm pretty convinced it's him (eyes and mouth seem to be the dead giveaway for me). He's not mentioned in the opening credits and I can't find the ending credits. I kinda doubt he'll be there either as it seems like their sneaking him in to see who will notice.

edit: Damn. Completely wrong. Apparently it was James Kidnie.

Two minutes 'theatrical' trailer for the finale.

[Tannhauser]

Good series ending.  Sad to see it go, really was a unique show that was allowed to end gracefully.  Good to see Olivia back to kicking ass and of course great emotional tones.


It was a good run, who knows, maybe they'll do a TV movie or something. 

[Hawkbit]

To start, this was a good episode and a very satisfying finale. 

The center 9 episodes of this season should have reverted back to the basic first season philosophy of being episodic content with brief mentions of the final plan.  I think it would have made the finale stronger in that regard. 

However, I really like the way it wrapped up. 


That said, I hope they leave the story where it is now.  I think they did the best they could with it after last season, and making a movie will ultimately end up feeling like the Xfiles movies: successful, but cashins.

[luckton]

The only thing I'm confused about...


Or am I just trying to look too deep into this and I should just shutup and be content with the Scooby-Doo ending?

[cironian]

But, yeah, I'm happy with the ending too.

[HaemishM]

I'm satisfied with the ending.

[Tannhauser]

[Wasted]

A satisfying finale, I'm going to miss this show.

[Tannhauser]

Oh yeah, that's right, thanks that makes sense now (Peter's item)

[Surlyboi]

A satisfying finale, I'm going to miss this show.

Me too. J.J. Abrams best series as far as I'm concerned. (Person of Interest running a close second.)

Wasn't the timeline in the last season the one in which Peter DID die??  Him being there was a function of him being trapped in a place that wasnt his.  In the end he had to make it his home regardless, and the people around him began to have memories as if he'd existed all along (Walter [moreso after the boy Observer touched him], Olivia, Nina, etc.).  So, essentially the Observers not being there wouldn't have any effect on that particular timeline because in reality Peter did still die.  When he came back he came from another Universe altogether, implanting his existence in the new timeline.  Granted, I could be getting my seasons/timelines mixed up.

The other theory being the standard string theory of time, which is that a new timeline branches off at each moment of choice.

Yes Peter 'died' at the end of season 3 as time was changed so that September didn't save him from drowning in the lake.  Further back from that, The only reason Walter took Peter from the redverse was because he needed to save Peter after Walternate was distracted from finding the cure by September.  Without September interrupting him, Walternate would have been able to cure Peter from the disease that killed Blueverse Peter.

What I don't understand is why the Observers didn't invade both universes.

The Fauxlivia Universe was a shitty one likely to be annihilated, that's why.
