Title: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: Ashburndaride on May 27, 2008 at 08:23 PM
From Wikipedia
Fringe is the fourth TV Series co-created by J. J. Abrams. It is produced by Warner Bros./Bad Robot, and deals with a research scientist named Walter Bishop (who Orci describes as "Frankenstein mixed with Albert Einstein"), his son, and a female FBI agent who brings them back together. The show is being described as a cross between The X-Files, Altered States and The Twilight Zone."

From TV.com
FBI agents Olivia Dunham and Peter Bishop are faced with a rapidly spreading unexplained phenomenon of the threatening kind. In an attempt to stop the spread, they enlist the assistance of Bishop's estranged father, the institutionalized scientist Dr. Walter Bishop.

The two-hour pilot of Fringe is now available! You know where to look.  ;)
 
Fringe is the fourth TV Series co-created by J. J. Abrams (Felicity, Alias, Lost) and also his fourth collaboration with co-creators Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (Alias, Mission Impossible III, Star Trek). It is produced by Warner Bros./Bad Robot, and deals with a research scientist named Walter Bishop (who Orci describes as "Frankenstein mixed with Albert Einstein"), his son, and a female FBI agent who brings them back together. The show is being described as a cross between The X-Files, Altered States and The Twilight Zone. Like Abrams' previous TV shows, it will have an overarching mythology. Jeff Pinkner will serve as executive producer/showrunner. The Fringe series premiere is scheduled for August 26, 2008 at 8:00 p.m. ET

Natawa ako when Dr. Bishop asked about Jello, is it? Out of nowhere. He's so cute, that old man. ;D

It started off a bit sloppily but quickly picked up by the latter half. I'm eagerly awaiting this series. If they play their cards right this could really turn into the next X-Files.

Loved the last scene, by the way. :)

Yeah, the pilot airs on August 28 on FOX, so your next new episode will still be in September. And since it's FOX, you better hope it does well immediately in the ratings, since they notoriously cancel brand new high-profile shows after 2 or 3 weeks if the shows don't perform.

Lots of familiar faces here--Lance Reddick is well-known to Lost fans as the mysterious Matthew Abaddon, but fans of The Wire and Oz also know him for playing key characters on those shows. Speaking of Oz, Kirk Acevedo also played a main character in that HBO prison series.

Mark Valley played Atty. Brad Chase in Boston Legal, and before that he was also on The 4400. Blair Brown had her own TV series in the late 80's, The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd.

As for the two male leads, Australian actor John Noble, who plays Dr. Walter Bishop, had his most famous role to date as Denethor in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, while Joshua Jackson played Pacey Witter, one of the main characters in the teen drama Dawson's Creek.

Derivative of some X-Files episodes such as "Squeeze", "Tooms" and "2Shy". Anyway, they started out with a strong pilot so, I'm still hopeful.

Just watched the entire 2-hour pilot in full--great stuff! Hopefully they'll be able to  sustain it for the rest of the season. Loved the way the show displays the captions when the location shifts--very Panic Room-like.   8)

Saw the 2nd episode. Not bad at all, as more evidence of the "pattern" starts showing up...i just hope this pattern doesn't include Milo Rambaldi, The Hanso Foundation, or the Tagruato Corporation.   ;D

I wasn't an X-File fan, so, when I read others posts that it's a mix of X-files and so and so, I didn't exactly want to see it. But I guess curiosity got the better of me and I must admit, after watching the first two episodes so far, I'm hooked! At the start, I was like, "Oh no! Another Fox/Mulder-type lead character!" But then the twist and the...well, you better watch it na lang.

Oh, and I love thow they use a three-dimensional National Geographic-like (or is that Discovery?) lettering of every scenes' location.

Just watched the 3rd episode--again, not bad. Another pattern case, this time involving "The Ghost Network", which also happens to be the episode title.

I noticed that in this episode and also in the previous one, Darin Morgan is now listed in the credits as "Consulting Producer".

Just watched the 4th episode--it's the best episode yet, with lots of strangeness, adding more mystery to Walter & Peter's history. This show keeps getting better and better...

John Noble gives an awesome performance here throughout, and that last part where he talks to Peter just before the episode ends deserves an Emmy nomination.  8)

Forgot to add that when I first saw the poster or heard about Fringe, I though, the poster and the name ringed a bell (Massive Dynamic pun intended). And when I was browsing my downloaded comic books...there it is. A Fringe comicbook from Wild Storm. It's a 6-part series with issue #1 hitting the shelves only last month. The first part deals with a young Walter Bishop when he started teaching at Harvard and his first encounter with William Bell and a substory about mind transfer experiements.

Could somebody be kind enough to enlighten me what the Observer could represent?   some kind of angel or it's just one of those things to keep us wondering as the series goes on?

Freckles or not, I like the total aura of the main lady character.  Actually, I like the way she walks.

He's some kind of "Man in Black" character...extremely creepy though. Those who still have the Pilot and episodes 2-3, was he really there in some scenes?

Btw, check out the Massive Dynamic web site (http://www.massivedynamic.com)--there are probably tons of easter eggs in there for those who can find them.   ;D
Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: indie boi on Oct 05, 2008 at 06:06 PM
The Observer definitely has its basis on the Man in Black urban legend, right down to the freaky way he tries to act normal or human.
Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: AshKetchum on Oct 05, 2008 at 11:28 PM
^very true, indie boy. Some sources state that he was also partly based on the Marvel Comics character, The Watcher.  Although in Walter's case years ago he didn't merely observe, he actually did something benevolent.

I rewatched the Pilot and episodes 2 & 3, and yup, The Observer was there all right--it's like Where's Waldo?, LOL

No new Fringe episode this week due to the Presidential Debates on US TV, so there's enough time for me to search for the easter egg that gives a clue about the next episode--just like Lost, this show hides a lot of easter eggs, not just within the show, but also in the title sequence: a single frame appears with the words "Observers Are Here" for one second just after the words "Dark Matter" in the title credits.  ;D

Episode 6 was a very good Olivia-centric episode--we got to learn more about her, and Anna Torv gives an excellent performance during the the last 5 minutes.   8)

The Observer was a bit difficult to spot in this episode, but he was there all right. ;D

this got me really laughing in Episode 9: Monarch -

Dr. Walter Bishop: (Talking to Olivia before she enters the tank) "I just got an erection.  Oh, fear not.  It's nothing to do with your state of undress. I think i simply need to urinate."

 :D  :D  :D

Just watched episode 10: "Safe"  --great episode, with everything building up fast as a lead-in to the next episode, "Bound", which co-creator Roberto Orci calls "the midpoint of the series". Bad news is that episode 11 will be aired next year, January 20, 2009--ang tagal pa!   :'(

Best quote from Walter: "Are you tripping, Agent Dunham?"  ;D

At last, Fringe returns with a new episode, and this is one of the best. The intro is unusually long, and I like the way it recaps the plot and main characters without resorting to the old "Previously on Fringe...". As usual, there's a wtf?!! moment right before the opening credits.   ;D

I wasn't able to spot the Observer this time, but I'll rewatch the episode later.

He gets harder to spot every episode--in "The Transformation" (episode 13), he's standing on the left side of the field where the plane passes by on its way to a crash landing; you'll have to zoom in closely, but it's him, coat, briefcase and all.  ;D

Whilst Heroes is getting deeper and deeper into a s**thole because of crappy writing, Fringe is getting better and better.Who knew Orci and Kurtzman could actually pull it off? They are this generation's Braga and Moore.
Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: X44 on Feb 07, 2009 at 11:16 AM
I've seen the first two episodes of this.

I liked the first one. But the second one - - - about the progeria baby(interesting enough premise) - - - had really crappy dialogue (when Lance Reddick of The Wire is giving his briefing to Blair Brown and the others, try closing your eyes and listening to his lines  . . .awful . . not to mention Brown's lines herself all throughout the episode) and some off-putting bad acting on the part of Anna Torv (when she runs away from the lab,distraught over not having found the latest victim or something,I was "ehhh?wala bang take 2 yun?")  , I thought I was watching outtakes. And JJ Abrams had writing credit, too. It ain't as bad as the writing in Heroes but it was a significant drop in quality for me.

I'll check out the third episode, which seems to be off to a promising start, from the few minutes of it I took a peek into. Hope the series gets better as it moves along.
Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: Dan on Feb 07, 2009 at 12:23 PM
^ If you'll notice, some of their explanations and premises are kind of off, too. A friend pointed out one time about how the show explained the logic behind Ocham's Razor, and how, apparently, the simplest solution is the most plausible one. The way the show had a scientist explain this "simplicity" made it worse.
Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: AshKetchum on Feb 07, 2009 at 01:15 PM
Any explanation coming from Walter is always "kind of off", since he's supposed to be insane.  ;D

The show mostly deals with fringe science--not the most legitimate branch of science. It's about as convincing as time travel on Lost or giant monsters on Cloverfield, but hey, I'm thoroughly enjoying the ride on the Fringe train.
Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: Dan on Feb 07, 2009 at 03:53 PM
When I said "kind of off" I meant completely wrong, and not in a it-was-explained-by-a-loopy-person kind of way  ;) If you're going to base "fringe" science off of "true" scientific thoughts and tenets, at the very least, have those true aspects explained factually -- then only then do you go off into the crazy.

But hey, make no mistake or assumption, I'm also a fan of the show. Anna Torv is HOT :o
Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: X44 on Feb 07, 2009 at 06:04 PM
I agree. This is where shows like this tend to go off the rails a bit.

I'd watch Lance Reddick in anything and am glad to see he's getting work after The Wire and I think Fringe is good junk food fun myself  - -the third episode was better than the second, dialogue-wise and actingwise - - - easy to consume and if it  doesn't ask you to leave your brain  at the door it doesn't really ask you to use it very much. And yeah, that Torv woman is hot, bad acting notwithstanding.  Still it's pretty much a means to plug the Chris Carter vacuum. Lost is still the way to go for your JJ Abrams mindfrak fix. But hey, I'm watching both. I've got ten more episodes to go on this one to see if it goes nowhere but up.

Still it's pretty much a means to plug the Chris Carter vacuum.

On that bit, it still has a ways to go. I could go on forever how absolutely nothing can compare to the X-Files, but that would come off as hijacking this thread.

I'll do it anyway. The X-Files has its own faults, with plots that stem mostly on the paranoias of people. That, it seems, is only when a fair amount of the logic can be chucked out the door for more of the fantastic and downright ridiculous (Flukeman, anyone?). But one thing that the X-Files has that Fringe doesn't is chemistry between the two (or three) leads. Even Skinner was a welcome addition to the Scully-Mulder dynamic. I've seen this from the very first episode of Fringe and a lot of people have also noticed the complete lack of any kind of tension or chemistry between the characters (but I admit, Walter and Peter are MFEO). Then again, it could be argued that that's not the point of the show -- it probably acknowledges that yes, The X-Files has done this before, but the public needs to see something else. On that I would be more than willing to stand corrected.

To its credit, Fringe basically turns the whole conspiracy plot upside down. On the X-Files, you have a group of individuals fighting against a government that lies to the people. While in Fringe, it's the other way around -- here, the government is the good guy and something else is The Big Bad.

I would like to end this hijacking with "Anna Torv is HOT."
Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: X44 on Feb 08, 2009 at 11:28 AM
I agree it has a long way to go when it comes to plugging the x Files vacuum and I doubt if it will. You can't really plug a show's vacuum with another show that is,in many ways, the exact same show. Slight deviations in nuance and dynamics occur but let's not kid ourselves here, Fringe is an X Files rip-off (itself an Avengers hommage) , a slightly better rip-off than The Chronicle or Dark Skies - - which , bad as they were, took the effort of not making its Mulder/Scully clones FBI agents.

Plus I agree about the lack of chemistry. A friend and I were talking about this the other day - - the lack of chemistry and how everybody's so uptight and needlessly intense. Mulder and Scully (like Steed and Peel) had chemistry in spades and that was more than half the battle. Regardless of aesthetic motives, chemistry between the two leads should be paramount. And I don't think, at this point, they should even try to get out of  the XFiles Ripoff shadow. The show mainly feeds off our love for Grant Morrison-style black science/weird conspiracies. It just has to be well-told (and people say it is, I'm only up to Ep. 4 but it does look good, loved the frozen bus particularly) and , ripoff or no ripoff, all will be forgiven. It already is, I think.

Like I said, I saw the 4th episode recently and yes, the quality does go up quite a bit from Episode 2, which was a mess. Good solid entertainment. The 3rd one was no slouch either. I still have problems with some of the acting. Everybody seems prone to outbursts at the tiniest provocation. It's a little off-putting. And not very realistic. But this was a fairly well-written episode, if only for the revelations and how they put an end to the Oatu/Observer parallels. Plus the dialogue has improved significantly - - - I noticed that Abrams didn't share writing credit with Kurtzman and Orci, so the two may be the culprits. After Whedon (Buffy), Sorkin(WestWing) , Milch(Deadwood) , Moore(BSG), Simon (Wire) and indeed Abrams (Lost) and  Christ Carter you sort of half-expect these young turks to take writing pointers. Oh well.  The twist ending to this one wasn't surprising , too, since they keep putting Mark Valley's name on the credits, which is sort of like putting Kevin Spacey's name up on the credits of Seven.

I'm cracking the 5th episode soon. It IS a fun ride. Comfort TV. And everybody swears it goes nowhere but up. But i'm shifting to BSG for the meantime.

Just watched episode 14 - "Ability", and it's one superb episode, with little bits surfacing here and there, with the return of Mr. Jones and the ZFT, the Observer looking straight at the camera, Olivia revealing her mutant abilities (LOL), and a shocker at the very end. 

I'm starting to sound like a broken vinyl record, but what can I say? It just gets better and better. My only problem with this show is that they keep holding back the new episodes--the next episode (#15) will air in April, but if I read it right, the last 7 episodes will air every week from that point on until the season finale.

I'm starting to sound like a broken vinyl record, but what can I say? It just gets better and better. My only problem with this show is that they keep holding back the new episodes--the next episode (#15) will air in April, but if I read it right, the last 7 episodes will air every week from that point on until the season finale.

Fringe is a frigging freight train right now. The plots keep getting better and the "mythology" is fast gaining flesh. Just when you thought that the revelation by Loeb to Dunham in "Bound" was the biggest "what the?!" moment for the first half of the season "Ability" just one-ups it totally. I'm a bit ambivalent about putting that drug angle on Dunham's supposed ability but I'll see where the writers will take this. At this point, I see that as the first big misstep in this fine series.

I am enjoying the ride immensely. This is one intelligent TV series. It's just too bad that we'll have to wait for the next episode again.

Fringe had me in marathon junkie mode the last few nights, sleeping unhealthily late.  It's my new Primeval. JJ Abrams in  B movie mode ain't such a bad thing. Only problem is, I got as far as Episode 10 of the series and that's as far as my  . . .umm . . . "compilation" got which was a bummer as Episode 10 ended in a sort of cliffhanger.  Now downloading the other four that have already come out. The subplot about Walter's safety deposit boxes was a doozy. And the killer butterflies from Episode 9. Episode 7 was one of the ones I liked best mostly out of how it was Brad Anderson who directed, always liked his pulse for creepy stuff, which he showed off to terrific effect in Session 9 and The Machinist. Also, the parasite around Loeb's heart was squeamish-creepy in the best Sam Raimi Evil Dead way.  I hear he's directing Episode 13 ,too. Not downloading fast enough.

Soon I will. Just got the 4 remaining episodes.

John Noble is wonderfully cast and a far cry from his role in Return of the King, I might add. For me, he's the most fully-realized character in the whole thing, he's a trope,sure- - -quintessential mad scientist - - - they all are,really,  but he sure as hell runs with his trope and takes it to some pretty interesting places. He screams JJ Abrams more than anybody else (they scream more Chris Carter). He wouldn't be . .  um, lost . . . in Lost.

But . . . a question to its ardent fans or to anybody shaper-eyed than I probably was last night . . .
if Jones was going to be teleported out of prison . . .why dye your hair black? ???

Lapse in logic? Gaffe?

Could be one of those esoteric reasonings that was just implied but never explained. Kinda like his request for suntan lotion, it could have an effect on the teleportation.
Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: X44 on Feb 17, 2009 at 01:01 PM
The suntan  I sort of get.

As for the dying his hair black, my initial thought was that he wanted to pass himself off as his lawyer but then that wouldn't make sense.

Nor would dressing up in a suit - - - but I let that one slide as vanity on Jones' part, specially since he specifically asked his lawyer to get a new suit from his "tailor", which his lawyer refused to do.

Although  teleportation, according to The Fly and not Nightcrawler at least, always requires teleporting in the buff, presumably to reduce the risk of your molecules bonding with the molecules of fabric when you re-assemble. Maybe the  suit circumvented that problem and the side effects Jones was experiencing had to do with getting the wrong "suit".

So yeah, suffice to say, I was bothered by that little details of Jones' escape, specially the hair dye, as I've been paying close attention to every detail ever since the sort of reveal on the Bound episode. Hipefully there's a reason up JJ Abrams' sleeve for this.

And I'm hoping the reveals at the end of Ability  - - -the bomb made of lights, the hospital wall, the phone call - - -doesn't help the show degenerate into the mess Heroes has become. But this is JJ Abrams, who seems far far smarter than Tim Kring and his cohorts. And this is a far far smarter show, all told. Which is probably why it has less viewers.  ;D

Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: AshKetchum on Feb 17, 2009 at 01:23 PM
since Mr. Jones' intent wasn't only to teleport, but to travel in time as well, I always thought he needed the dye to appear younger in case he traveled to the past.   ;D


And this is a far far smarter show, all told. Which is probably why it has less viewers.  ;D

maybe Fringe has less viewers here as compared to Heroes, but apparently not in the USA:

Volume III: Villains

"The Eclipse, Part 2"..............8.02
"Our Father".........................7.78

episode 15 of Fringe, "Inner Child" was great, while episode 16, "Unleashed", wasn't that bad. Only 5 more episodes to go till the finale, and we'll finally get to meet the yet-unseen head of Massive Dynamic at last--J.J. Abrams scored a casting coup with Dr. William Bell, who'll be played by no other than the original Mr. Spock himself--Leonard Nimoy.  8)

I hope I'm not being spoilerish here, so just the same, I'll put this up:

*********SPOILERS AHEAD*******************
 

Just can't help but feel a little "here we go again," that they've made Agent Dunham's character having some kind of a Sydney Bristow-esque history.  (or for that matter, Dana Scully-ish).  I mean, she being experimented on when she was just a kid.  (Sydney being part of that Project Christmas [was it?] in "Alias.") 

And I know, she already showed her special ability a few episodes back.  I hope this better turn up something different than predictable.

Talk about perfect timing with his Star Trek movie opening--J.J. Abrams manages to include "Live Long and Prosper", hand greeting and all, plus other Star Trek references on this week's Fringe episode, LOL.  ;D

And on next week's season finale, the ultimate Trekkie homage, as the original Mr. Spock, Leonard Nimoy, makes his first appearance as the founder of Massive Dynamic, Dr. William Bell.

Season 1 ends with a bang. Abrams has balls showing the Twin Towers in his ending shot knowing how Americans still consider it a "sensitive" issue. The reveal about Peter was not too surprising because you could see it coming a mile away.

Can't wait for the second season.

the same reaction from me!  dammit charlie! i like the character.  so in effect he is going to be written off from the show and looks like eventually replaced by the new agent.

I don't see how the ending played out. When Peter and the new agent found Francis and the body of the nurse, the shapeshifter had to be the nurse because where else would the body come from. Which means Francis was still Francis. Doesn't make sense to me. If it happened afterwards, well, that doesn't make a lot of sense either.

So that's why the guy looked so familiar but for some reason I can't place it.

Great start for the second season. I love it when main characters get this kind of treatment, it keeps everyone on their toes. It gives you the feeling that everyone's expendable.

I also love it that this is one series where I'm not likely to read extremely stupid posts that's just all sexual innuendoes and nothing else.  ::)

my online gripe about Fringe is sometimes an episode doesn't have anything that advances the entire plot

they encounter a mystery, tackle it, solve it, and thats it.  can't see where it fits into the bigger scheme of things.

i'm liking the pace of the story now in the current season.  although there are still some episodes where nothing much happens except for the case at hand.

next week, Part 1 of "Over There" - the season finale
Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: AshKetchum on May 14, 2010 at 10:57 PM
Part 1 of "Over There" was awesome--the first five minutes played out like an action movie, leading to a red-tinged opening title sequence.  8)

As for the rest of the episode...wtf moments galore.  ;D

Can't wait for Part 2 next week.

The season 2 finale of Fringe--Part 2 of "Over There"--was a fitting swansong for Leonard Nimoy, if we're to believe the news about his retirement from acting. It also seems very likely that we'll see alternate Charlie as a supporting character again next season, if you listen closely to what he said to Olivia.

As for the episode's final 5 minutes, arrrghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!  September is still a long way off...

Some thoughts after my Season 2 marathon...

- I enjoyed White Tulip more than The Time Traveller's Wife
- When Fringed turned to Glee, Joshua Jackson still can't sing
- Hope they don't go with the Heroes path with those people with abilities
- What is Olivia's ability? Is it to identify those from the other side? Does she have an ability to travel back and forth from the other side as seen on the Season 2 Episode 1? Though clearly she still can't control it yet.

Just watched the 3rd season premiere. It looks like at least for the first half of this season, odd-numbered episodes will take place in the alternate dimension, while even-numbered episodes are set in our reality.

Notable guest stars for Season 3 will include Amy Madigan (Carnival), Andre Royo (The Wire), Kevin Weisman (Alias), Shawn Ashmore (X-Men) and twin brother Aaron Ashmore (Smallville).

The season 3 finale was filled with lots of wtf moments, culminating in the most wtf last 5 minutes ever--a fitting ending for an awesome season. Just when you think you had everything figured out and were expecting a major resolution, the writers turn everything inside-out, which is exactly why I love this show. Good thing FOX still renewed this despite not-so-good ratings (due to FOX's inept scheduling really).   8)

Onward to season 4!

watched Season 4, EP1 as well. Still as good as ever. And I think it's a nice touch that Lincoln Lee is "discovering" Walter Bishop's quirks. All of us (and the cast over "here") have gotten used to him over the past 3 seasons and we (and they) just shrug our collective shoulders at his eccentricities.
Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: Mr. Hankey on Oct 02, 2011 at 10:27 PM
Can someone explain some things to me?

If Peter never existed, why is there a gap that connects the two worlds in the current incarnation of the show? Wasn't the gap created when Walter stole him from Walternate? Also, if Fauxlivia exchanged places with Olivia and was able to return to the alternate reality world... why is Alternate Broyles alive in the current episodes? Didn't her return kill him?

I hated the end of last season. It, for me, ruined what I felt was a perfect show. And now it's opened up all these questions I can't answer.
Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: bunnygod on Oct 03, 2011 at 12:18 AM

We still don't know the real story, as the producers will gradually reveal what really happened, but here's what I've gleaned so far:

To sum it all up: Peter's erasure from the timeline has altered both universes. First, he used the machine that was orignally intended to destroy to create a permanent bridge between the two universes instead, so they could work together and resolve their conflicts.

Second, his non-presence has changed the way the characters developed through the years, like Olivia remaining cold and distant. It's also been implied that Olivia did not go to the Over There universe to rescue him (obviously, because he didn't exist), but that she was either abducted then replaced with Fauxlivia or found hereself stuck in there. With no Peter to guide her, she didn't have the resolve to escape on her own, thus not involving Alt-Broyles, so Alt-Broyles did not die.

No Peter in the Over There universe also means that Fauxlivia is still together with her boyfriend there, and there's no baby, which also means that the soap opera-ish love triangle plotline is kaput (Thank God ;D ).

Some have theorized that as a consequence for the Observers tampering with the timelines, a third, malevolent universe has actually become more predominant, and is behind the still unknown threats that are now emerging, like the new shapeshifters...we'll see if this pans out.
 
Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe
Post by: d4nu65+3R on Oct 03, 2011 at 09:21 PM
the thing is, was peter really erased from the timeline or is he just stuck in some sort of limbo?

Probably in limbo.  Wasn't it established that Peter is the only one who can activate the machine? So Peter must have existed in some capacity after the machine was assembled.

So now we finally know what happened... Our Walter's son Peter also died over here, so he croseed over there and got Walternate's Peter, but when they both fell through the icy river, there was no Observer to rescue them, so Alt-Peter also died.

Enjoyed the 4th episode a lot--here's hoping we see more of the former Cortexiphan kids, just like in the previous seasons. I actually like this "new" Olivia without Peter--she seems warmer and kinder, particularly towards Walter; that scene with the two of them having a root beer float was great.

Finally, a new episode after 2 weeks of nothing. These new shapeshifters will pose a serious threat to both universes, particularly after what happened at the end. But the coolest part of this episode for me was finding out that Peter had a UFO lunchbox as a kid--that TV series was one of my favorites.  ;D

Episode 19, "Letters of Transit," was an awesome episode, and it felt like watching a backdoor pilot for a new show. We got the future, evil Observers, Desmond from Lost, and a hot new agent...

...but it wasn't the same without Olivia though.


With only 2 more episodes to go before the season finale, reports have confirmed that the producers have filmed 2 endings: one if the series gets renewed for a 5th season, and another as the series ender.
Title: Re: JJ Abrams' Fringe

Renewed for a fifth and final season of 13 episodes...whew, thank you FOX! At least they'll be able to properly wrap up the show.  8)

FOX Books Fringe for a Fifth and Final Chapter

13 Episodes Ordered for 2012-2013 Season

FOX has picked up Fringe for a fifth and final 13-episode season, it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company.

"Fringe is a remarkably creative series that has set the bar as one of television's most imaginative dramas. Bringing it back for a final 13 allows us to provide the climactic conclusion that its passionate and loyal fans deserve," said Reilly "The amazing work the producers, writers and the incredibly talented cast and crew have delivered the last four seasons has literally been out of this world. Although the end is bittersweet, it's going to be a very exciting final chapter."

Fringe co-creator and executive producer J.J. Abrams added, "We are thrilled and beyond grateful that FOX - and our fans - have made the impossible possible: Fringe will continue into a fifth season that will allow the series to conclude in a wild and thrilling way. All of us at Bad Robot are forever indebted to our viewers and the amazingly supportive FOX network for allowing the adventures of Fringe Division to not only continue, but to resolve in a way that perfectly fits the show."

"This pickup means the world (both of them) to us, because we love sharing these stories with our enthusiastic fans," added Fringe showrunners and executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman. "On behalf of the cast and crew, we applaud our fans and FOX for allowing us to imagine the impossibilities together for so long. Season Five is going to be a conclusive thrill ride for all of us."
