Yeah this episode was weird for me. I liked it the first time but thinking about it now it is kinda stupid. The whole "mimic boxing" thing just came out of nowhere (going from blinking lights to pure telekinesis in an instant was a bit of a stretch IMO). Jones attacking alone with a crowbar just seems so weird... why would he expose himself like this with no weapons? Alone too?

Also lol'ed at the whole "oh yeah forgot to tell you but cortexiphan has regenerating properties too". Kind of a deus ex machina they're setting up here for Olivia's death. Ok not really since technically it is a foreshadowing, but still feels like a cheap move. I'll reserve my judgement until I see what happens though.

can't believe there's no kinect olivia gif yet.

We did see Olivia use telekinetic powers in the Season 3 finale so the whole Kinect boxing thing didn't really take me by surprise. The lemon cake regeneration was kinda stupid though, it would've made a lot more sense if they used it on a human. How the hell is a lemon cake supposed to know what form it should be in? It's just a mixture of ingredients. If it was a human I'd believe it because of DNA but a lemon cake....seriously? I know they used pig brain as an excuse but that should've regenerated a pig brain, not a lemon cake.

Jocchan · (05-08-2012, 10:13 AM)

Hopefully Asteroid ate some lemon cake before going to that warehouse.

Ghost · (05-08-2012, 10:25 AM)

The Peter wiping really was a brilliant idea because it made all these awesome things possible again. I feel like the future episode was a terrible idea for the exact opposite reason, we know how Walter, Peter & Astrids stories will end in the show now, or at least that they wont be dead by the end of it. That weakened the impact of Jones going after Peter and Astrid getting shot. We also know that Olivia is going to have a child before she dies...so there's really no threat to anyone we care about.

Hopefully Bells plan somehow undoes the Observer future, though that seems unlikely as it makes the future episode 100% pointless.

Sentry · (05-08-2012, 11:50 AM)

Guys, I dreamt of Fringe last night... I had a dream the season finale was so fucking bad that they cancelled Season 5, and everyone and their grandmothers were talking about the disappointment.

Damn nightmare.

OnPoint · 01:58 PM

Edit: No, it was the Observer. Whoops.

Bisnic · (05-08-2012, 03:28 PM)

Some of you guys are hard to please, sure the "kinect Olivia" and underwhelming Jones death were stupid, but still, there's some overreaction here. I just watch Fringe and enjoy what they give us, a season(and even another one later this year) that should logically not even exist with the show popularity, and at this point... i dont try to make sense of all this rewritten universe and just sit back and relax while i watch new Fringe episodes.

you sound like people early in this season and then we ended up with this. Get with the program, Bisnatch!

Like i said, i stopped trying to make sense of the rewritten universe and just watch Fringe to see more Walter craziness and weird shit happening. It's better that way and the show still deliver for both of these, even if it doesnt always make sense. :P

Why does the main page of http://fringepedia.net/wiki/Fringepedia say

Quote:

The production company has agreed to grant the ailing FOX television franchise the opportunity to air the first thirteen episodes of Season 5.

Quote:

Warner has not yet announced what network will air the second half of the fifth season in North America.

They never said there was going to be a full 22 episodes? Or did the guy who wrote that not know a thing?

Severely misinformed and incorrect.

Hopefully its not, that's a pretty big spoiler to show on a trailer if its what will happen in the last 5 minutes.

Basileus777 · (05-10-2012, 02:17 PM)

They look like DRJ/Bell's genetically created monsters, not dinosaurs.

Big Papa Husker · (05-10-2012, 04:13 PM)

I saw September in it. Is this the episode that he gets shot. :(

Likely.

quadriplegicjon · (05-10-2012, 04:25 PM)

So I have been watching all this time, and I can't seem to remember if it was explained why there is only one William Bell? Did the alternate Bell never exist?

onlyindreams · (05-10-2012, 04:27 PM)

there's absolutely no way that is a spoiler if its something so prominently featured in a trailer. just... no possible way. it's going to be some one-off moment that ultimately doesn't "really" happen. fox wouldn't be that stupid.

Killed in a car accident when he was young.

Yes, alter Bell died in a car accident during his teenagerhood (is this even a word? XD).

Edit: Beaten!

Jocchan · (05-10-2012, 04:40 PM)

How would we call him, by the way? Bellternate? BellyB? Red Bell?

Holy shit. If that's what they'll put in the trailer, the finale has to be insane. I can't wait.

*Olivia dies*
Peter : "Noooooooo!"

Fringe glyph
Bad Robot!
See the final season this September on FOX.

Just heard some casting news on another show that makes me worried about one of the characters on Fringe. Hmm.

Locke_211 · (05-10-2012, 10:12 PM)

So was DRJ's plan to collapse the two universes to create a third he could rule just a red herring, or part of Bell's plan? Was Bell just letting him get on with that while secretly working on his bigger plan, or is it still a vital part of things?

Ashhong · (05-10-2012, 11:20 PM)

So are we never going back to the future with Peter and his grown up daughter?

What red herring? Isn't that William Bell's plan as well? DRJ and Bell were working together towards the same goal. DRJ "had to die" according to last week's episode in order to move the plan along.

Well it's obviously not Peter, or even Walter. Broyles?

I'm guessing Olivia. Her daughter is going to replace her.

That's my guess. I haven't heard any announcements.

LOTS OF SPECULATION FROM EVERYONE

Basileus777 · (05-11-2012, 12:31 AM)

If it's not Olivia, I could see them writing out someone like Broyles.

Clevinger · 12:41 AM

If it was Broyles or Nina, I wouldn't care.

Doesn't matter, looks like their schedules won't overlap like I thought they would.

Ashhong · (05-11-2012, 01:17 AM)

Somebody talk about the future episode! I wasn't in the thread when it aired, did people not like the episode and don't care to go back to that time? :( Was like my favorite Fringe episode of the season.

TripOpt55 · (05-11-2012, 01:21 AM)

I think most people liked that episode and are excited to see more of the future plotline, but some weren't really into it. I liked it and think going back to it will be a nice way to distance myself from the current plotline which will be for the best. And well I think the plotline itself has a lot of potential. In hindsight, I'm not sure they should have aired it at 19 though. Takes some of the drama out of the current storyline (with Astrid alive and Bell appearing).
