*Fringe* the series Official thread

They show them teleporting themselves like 50 feet behind the group who's running away, and it's such a sad failure of logic that it completely turns me off to the show. If the Observers truly had the powers that they've show so far in the series, then there would be no way they could be stopped by those without such abilities.

This show had so much potential, but it's just spinning out of control now with the dumb future timeline BS.

What even dumber than that is that Peter can stick a couple of diodes in his neck and become an Observer, albeit, a Super Observer.

The whole reason for the series and hole or bridge between the two universes, IIRC, is because the Observer, September, wanted to witness a history changing event.

If Observers have no emotion, why would he care about something so mundane?

It's just another J.J. Abrams produced mess.

Finally got around to "Anomaly XB-6783746"


Genuinely teared up at final moments. Great resolution to storyline, summoning us into the final stretch.

I thought it was well executed but predictable. I've expected everything to be "reset" for quite a while.

The only question remaining for me is "when"?

[keg in kc]

I've missed some of this season and haven't liked much of what I've seen, but I have to say I've enjoyed the last two weeks and I'm looking forward to the finale friday.

How the hell did September survive that hit to the heart when he supposedly died in Walter's arms.

[DaneMcCloud]

So, what's going to happen?

"Our heroes" ultimately go back in time and without Donald's/September's interference, Walter will find the cure to save Peter, who will ultimately marry Olivia and have their baby? And Walternate will have his son by his side, without the "invaders"?

It all seems so predictable...

It will reset time and Olivia and Peter never meet.

No way.

They'll "glance" at each other from a across a room and everything will "rush back" into their memories. They'll smile and that'll be the end.

It'll be lame.

I hope not. I don't want a neat little bow on this series. But, unfortunately, they will.

Yep, still in "burned" mode because of Lost.

Hope its not too lame but this last season has been very inconsistent.

Yep. lame.

What was up with the second hour having those video defects for the first 10 minutes?

I will miss this show very much. it's one of the few shows I simply must see every week. this season hasn't been that great, but it's still a favorite of mine. so many cool episodes over the years. the white tulip was mentioned last week.....I thought that was a super cool episode.
my two cents - I think Walter will indeed die as has he has been told he must...but more specifically I think maybe he goes back and kills himself before he steals Peter from the other dimension in the first place.
anyways, I'll miss this show. I'm actually sad it won't be around anymore.

here's a decent article.

nice find on the pic

[BigRedChief]

well that ending was predictable. No surprises whatsoever. I guess thats par for the course for a great series that limped to the end.

[keg in kc]

I thought it was filled with great character moments that often got some dust in my eye and I liked the white tulip callback at the very end, but the plot/science/storyline problems with the episode were emblematic of the series' entire run. There were so many things in the last hour that would have made so much more of an impact if they'd been spread out over the whole season instead of just being what amounted to last minute revelations (all the stuff with Donald's emotional connection to Michael, etc).

That said, I'm sad that it's over, because we've lost yet another hour of high concept television, science fiction or otherwise. I'd rather watch one frustrating, even mediocre hour of Fringe than be subjected to 10,000 more hours of american idol, real housewives of wherever and bland cop/law/medical dramedy #3472.

Unfortunately most of the world disagrees.

For me, though, Fringe will be missed.
