Fringe (spoilers too)

[Bev Vincent]

Yeah, I first saw this through a Damon Lindelhof tweet that started: in an alternate universe, Fringe has been canceled...

[Melike]

S03E18 Bloodline

I thought I didn't like Fauxlivia, but when I thought she would die delivering the baby, I realized I liked the character.

I am so happy that Fringe continues. I can not say that it is the best tv show, but I must admit that it is my favorite ever. Glad I am not in that alternate universe.

[Ricky]

I was wondering where you went off to, Melike.

Spoiler:

I felt the same way you did. Earlier in the season when she was replacing Olivia, I really hated her, but this episode really helped to establish that she's a person too. When I saw the promos for Bloodline and Fauxlivia's stomach was pulsating, I thought she was giving birth to some creature or something! Turns out it was only the accelerated growth of the baby.

Only 4 episodes left this season and still so much to get to: the Observers, First People, Sam Weiss, the Machine, Bellivia...

[Melike]

I didn't have the chance to see the episode untill yesterday, Ricky.
I hope they do not skip details just to give everything till the season finale.

[ICry4Oy]

This week's episode = BRILLIANT!

[Ricky]

Broyles made me laugh out loud.

[MonteGss]

Great episode! I'm liking S3 a lot and glad it was renewed for another.

[Merlin1958]

That was a "classic" episode this week!!!!!!! Loved the animation sequences and Broyles!!!!!!!!!!!

[ICry4Oy]

Broyles had me laughing so much I had to keep rewinding to see what I missed.

[mystima]

i want to know

Spoiler:

who the guy was that Olivia said was going to kill her.

and

Spoiler:

her attitude towards everything was like changed. she had no fear and was just casual about the guy she had drawn. hhhmmmmm...

[Bev Vincent]

It's not surprising that her attitude changed -- that was the revelation William Bell said she had in her cartoon world.

Spoiler:

“You have never felt safe. You are your own worst enemy. You took the opportunity to let your fears overwhelm you. But you just fought back. You’re just as strong as Walter and I always believed you were. And now you know it, too.”

[mystima]

I know that is what makes it awesome....can't wait for the next episode...and of course the actor who plays Broyles is awesome as well....who knew he had such range...first he sings now he can do comedy...now all we need for him to do is..never mind let it be a surprise...hahaha

[Ricky]

Someone else brought up a point that I thought was interesting:

Spoiler:

Anyone notice that Olivia's mind/consciousness is more situated in the alt-universe?

[Bev Vincent]

Yeah, I thought that, too. The zeppelin, the towers. Falls under the category of "things she fears"?

[Ricky]

3x21: The Last Sam Weiss

Spoiler:

Wow. What a fantastic set-up for the finale next week! Turns out Sam Weiss isn't entirely the mysterious guy we thought he was. I didn't even think of the "last" Sam Weiss referring to generation.

I really liked that Olivia was the "crowbar" and that Peter actually got into the machine this time (something that seemed like a long time coming). Some interesting points of fate vs. free will there.

The ending totally threw me for a loop. That's a twist that's finale worthy, so I'm wondering what the writers have up their sleeves for next week. I'm wondering how long Peter in the future is going to last. Just for the finale, or are they showing us a glimpse of what S4 holds? Regardless, I'm really excited to see where it's all going.

Oh, and I love how, even in deep turmoil, Walter can be coaxed by Astrid with the promise of food.

[Melike]

Have you seen the promo of the season finale? Oh... It looks like we will be left in great curiosity, and I already started to be impatient for season four.

[Bev Vincent]

Whenever I hear "Sam Weiss" I think Samwise -- i.e., Sam from Lord of the Rings.

[Ricky]

I know what you mean, Melike. I read an interview with the producers saying that almost all questions we have right now will be answered by the end of the finale, but there's so many! And on top of the 2 universes, now we've got a future world (but which one?) to speculate about as well.

[Merlin1958]

That was a pretty darn good episode.

Loved Walters weakness for pudding!!!!! LOL

[Melike]

Oh my goodness!
What a finale! I loved it to the bits. They answered enough question; and created new ones.

S03E22 The Day We Died

There were some scenes that were beautiful and artistic:
ღ.To me, Walter and Walternate at the same place, looking into each other's eyes, was the most valuable event of televison show history.
ღ.The way obsevers seemed, in front of the Statue of Liberty, made a mysterious picture to look at.
ღ.Olivia's grown control over her ability.

Whenever I hear "Sam Weiss" I think Samwise -- i.e., Sam from Lord of the Rings.

Well caught. I haven't realized that, though the name rang a bell before.

I think it will be about a third universe.

I do not know anything not lovely about Walter.

[Ricky]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it, Melike! I'm watching it tonight. There's so many questions and so many different ways they could take the story right now, I'm excited to see where it goes. I'll just ask you one thing though: on a scale of 1-10, how fantastic was the ending?

[Melike]

Ricky it is so hard for me to be objective about Fringe which has a way with me. So all I can say that it was a 10 for me.

S03E21 The Last Sam Weiss

This scene reminded me the scene that Neo had stepped outside the Chateau of Merovingian and found himself on a distant land, in Matrix Reloaded.

[Ricky]

Awesome! I can't wait until I can discuss it with you.

[Merlin1958]

I'd love to hear what others made of the Observer comments re: Peter at the very end.

Spoiler:

Namely that he didn't exist and never did. Think Peter may actually be an Observer, or a mechanism of sorts created by them?

Thoughts?

[Cook]

Big Fringe fan here, 1st post to this thread.
I feel like the writing gets better with each new show and the acting in tonight's show was stellar, best to date.
Not sure what I felt about the ending, I saved it on my DVR, I gotta run through it one more time.
