It's been one heck of a season so far! A lot of storylines are being seamlessly blended together in a way that works out better than I think many fans were expecting! I wonder what the ramifications are for invading your own timeline after your existence has been erased? Something tells me we'll soon see... In the meantime, we've had nothing but incredible little moments of pure character-driven ecstasy...or should I say LSD?
One after the other, these episodes have brought out the best in these actors once again in a way we couldn't have forecast! Now we have a completely new Olivia, (in a similar situation to the other Olivia before) remembering another Olivia's life as her own, and embracing the love she feels for Peter. Peter knows what happened last time, but in the last moments of last week's installment, he made a bold move and claimed that he knew it had to be his Olivia. And they kissed sweetly, and all was good, right?
WRONG-O.
At the last moment we see that Olivia has been kidnapped, along with Nina Sharp. Nina reassures her adopted and beloved Olivia that they will be ok. Now we know how Nina can be both really creepy/shady most of the time, yet still not be evil: it's because this Nina raised Olivia, and would likely not put her in harm's way. I suppose this means that the Other Nina has invaded This Nina's life, and so the question is this: When did the switch take place? Nina didn't look like she had been there long, so was she still responsible for the Cortexiphan injections? Or was that the alternate Nina? Perhaps the Alternate Nina has been over here for a while, and occasionally "stops by" as This Nina to dose her with Cortexiphan for DRJ?
Either way, there's a lot of questions we all have as viewers, and as the promos for "The End of All Things" seems to promise, we WILL have our answers!
THE END OF ALL THINGS
These questions mainly contain the phrase "WHO ARE THE OBSERVERS?" And it seems that this, one of-if not THE biggest-mysteries of the show will be answered tonight. How awesome is that? I think from the beginning of this season, the producers have planned to finally let the cat out of the bag, since they probably know that season 4 is the end. I have a feeling that from here on out, there may be a shift in the dynamic or pacing of the show. Not to say that I think they will abandon the story of the week or anything, I just think that with this episode and upcoming episodes, they will probably have more answers coming our way than new questions. And honestly, if done well, this could be an incredible ending to an amazing story, or it could be the last part of a selection in a series, and continue if the FOX execs and WB can come to an understanding. Either way, I think that we're in for something special this friday night, so we need to count our blessings in that we still are able to watch new installments of one of the most inventive and gorgeously-produced, terrifically-written and acted series in the history of television. I don't know of any recent movies that have had this caliber of talent behind it, doing so much with so little, so I am just so excited that tonight WE GET SOME ANSWERS.
As Peter put it in the promo: "Who...or what are you?"
So, the question is...
Who else is ready for FRINGE FRIDAY!???

"Who else is ready for FRINGE FRIDAY!???" I am, I am. I was incredibly excited for the episode Peter returned but that pales in comparison to the episode where we finally find out who the Observers are. I'm hoping we get to know a bit of their plans and also why September keeps risking so much for these characters. To me, the Observers are THE central mystery and I can't wait to see what kind of mind freak the writers are going to pull off.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the inside of the Observer Mind
ReplyDeleteI think this episode will make fandom explode more than ever
ReplyDeleteThe Observer-centric episode I have wanted since Season 1... FINALLY!
ReplyDeleteCannot wait for some answers!!!
I wonder too....
ReplyDeleteDoes September do it for love like August did?Is the motive more course-correction?Is there a connection we are not aware of yet?
Likely a combination of reasons I guess, but if we come out of this with the larger picture of who and what the Observers are and are left wondering why September has done what he's done I will be okay with that I think.....
Observer-centric? Hmmm, might catch up again this weekend...
ReplyDeleteI really hope this episode can live up to my expectations. I am soooo excited.
ReplyDeleteI am sooo ready for answers! So excited!
ReplyDeleteArguably the most anticipated episode of the series and I forgot to make a Fringe Friday Poster ahead of time.... again!! Grrrr.
ReplyDeletePut this one together before bed (not my best work or near as good as Wizard of Oz one sadly). but since I felt I should do one for this episode....
Now to bed to dream of all things Fringe and await the episode tonight!
Don't forget to use "#"LoveIsTheAnswer 1 hour before!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for this episode. Can't wait to get some general Observer answers especially about September.
ReplyDeleteAre you talking about tweeting #LovelsTheAnswer?
ReplyDeleteAnd welcome to Spoiler and Happy Fringe Friday! :D
You haven't been watching?
ReplyDeleteCan't sleep,ha i know the feeling. Love the poster,and you put this together at the last minute,nice Darque!
ReplyDeleteI just can't wait to find out whats in store for us,i'm so excited!!!!!! :D
I've been ready for this one, since the end of last week's.
ReplyDeleteGot ants in my pants... can't focus... is it time yet? Gaahhh!
Can't wait for tonight!
ReplyDeleteoh me! ME!!! I;m ready :) I think i am, i'm buckled in at least and i shant fall off this ride!
ReplyDeleteYou put it all so eloquently.. i'll just leave it at your words and say that i am counting my "blessings in that we still are able to watch new installments of one
of the most inventive and gorgeously-produced, terrifically-written and
acted series in the history of television" !
nice job Darque! i'm super stoked for tonight... i think it will be juicy enough to tide us over for three weeks.. we'll certainly have plenty to digest after tonight.
ReplyDeleteNicely put Beth i couldn't have said it better myself!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis episode might just provide three weeks worth of theorizing indeed!
ReplyDeleteFairly worried that 'our' nina is going to die tonight.. not the imposter but the captured one.
ReplyDeleteI am starting to feel like it was VERY important for Peter & Olivia to have a child. unfortunately he had one with Faux and as we saw in the old future 2026 ourO never wanted to bring a child into the deteriorating world(s) so Henry was/is the Hope. Once Peter knows he has a son, he's not going to ignore that, We need a way to go back and make Faux not cross/get preggers and it be ourO who has the little Bishop who could save us all..
Fringe Friday!!!YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!:D
ReplyDeleteis there a link where we can watch the show online?
ReplyDeleteOne hour 25 minutes to go...I am so freaking excited about this episode i almost feel bi-polar.
ReplyDeleteONE HOUR TO GO!
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone tweeted tonight!
One would think Fringe is the type of show I'd love, but it never really managed to pull me in. Sometimes I watch an episode right after airing, but mostly I wait for a few episodes to watch them back to back.
ReplyDeleteI'm a minority here, but I won't really miss Fringe once it's cancelled.
