Welcome to SpoilerTV's weekly edition of Fringe Friday!




THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
(AND WHAT WALTER FOUND THERE)
Writing this at the end of another long week, I'm so thankful to have a show like Fringe to cling to in the middle of all kinds of stress, political angst, and late hours spent working on projects and studying.

It's getting quite close to Thanksgiving, folks! So, today's topic is: What is it about Fringe that you are most thankful for? The ambience? The cast? Walter's Walterisms? The gorgeous special effects, or even the incredible score? 

Otherwise, it is (almost) time to see what affect that Observer tech will have on Peter, what lies ahead for our bereaved and mourning Bishop family, and what move will Captain Windmark make to hurt our beloved Fringe team next? Is it possible that we are in for even more heartache? (Well, that's a given, I'd suppose) And what Fringe events do you think will come into play this episode?

What do you think about these tapes that Walter left himself? Doesn't that feel a bit arbitrary and lighten the quest a bit to have the answers spelled out for the team for each one they find? I kind've almost wish that instead they'd have to relearn Walter's original plan through infiltration and torture or something else... The "fetch the Deus ex Machina" trope feels so overdone having been a fan of so many Science fiction and fantasy shows/movies/games, that this is my least favorite part of Fringe this season.

Also, sidebar: do you think it's rather terrorist-like how the Fringe team works these days? I feel very little empathy for any Observers, but the Loyalists (one of which the writers made SO sympathetic in that one episode) are caught in the path of destruction along the way to defeat the Observers. Of course I agree with "the good of the many vs. the good of the one" but doesn't it hurt a bit to watch our Fringe team actually harming people? It's an alarming and wild aspect added onto Fringe (much like they throw weird stuff at us in the first place I suppose!)
