S3 ep12 Peter, "I've been meaning to tell you, you look great in the dress"

No Peter, she looked SPECTACULAR in that dress and even better with the lipstick!

First time watcher here. I have literally just finished the last episode some minutes ago. I can't stop crying. This has been the best show I have ever watched. Even though I spoiled myself a bit unintentionally on this subreddit, the ending is so fucking emotional for me.

They literally break your heart when they give you hopes when Donald accepts to sacrifice with Michael but then he dies and Walter has to sacrifice. Peter watching his father for the last time hurts, and the white tulip closes the series perfectly.

This last episode is perfect. All the character development ends with some emotional goodbye scenes between the characters. Who would had guessed that the weird scammer dude who seemed to hate his poor mentally ill father would lose him in order to save the world and also had a daughter with the "sweetheart" FBI agent. So fucking epic.

I think now I understand why some of you fans rewatch this amazing series. Starting again and watching the begging again contrasting the character relationships can be very interesting.

I loved literally all the characters (except you, fuck you Windmark). I enjoyed the series since the beggining. I am one of the few people that enjoyed S1 since its start. However, I felt that this last 2 seasons were a bit rushed. I informed myself a little bit, so sad that this amazing series didn't reach all its potential and inexistent additional seasons.

This series marked this year for me. The best thing of this summer. If you are an experienced fan and you wanna say something to a first watcher who is sad and socked due to the ending, here I am haha.

THANK YOU FRINGE

I’ve watched Fringe over ten times now and this may be a stupid question but I can’t figure it out and some of you here are actually geniuses. How were the first shapeshifters crossing bw universes? And also were their crossings all creating damage in the fabric of time and space? Was it all done with harmonic rods? And did this method cause less damage bw the universes? Bc Walternate was so upset about the tears in the universes that it seems implausible he’s just sending shapeshifters back and forth all the time. While we are at it, how did Belly pull Olivia out of the blue into the red in More Than One of Everything? I just don’t get it.

I can't quite tell... Help me out here. Is that...

I am rewatching Fringe for the fifth time because it was one of my favorite shows.

Question. Is it me, or is JJ look like he tied a few too many the night before, on half these episodes? Or was he sick? Lol. 

Why is S4 E19 SO weird?? Feels like an odd turn to take so late in the season. Did writers change or something?

It’s so bittersweet to see Chadwick Boseman. I haven’t rewatched the show in the last couple years. It’s wonderful to see the great young actor he was, and to know that his talent would only grow.

R.I.P.

I cackle every time I watch this episode during the part where they're robbing the science center for meteorites and the one guy can only float, and the other one says "Let's go!!!" and runs away while the other guy just floats and goes "Whaaat! You cant just leave me!" What the hell did he expect him to do? LOL

I'm not a fan of Rachel. Or maybe it's the actor? She's just too flirty with Peter after obviously coming out of a bad relationship. It's clear to me Olivia likes Peter but she just flirts away. And then when Olivia comes busting in with a gun and there's obviously something going on, and she's worried about Ella, SHE'S FINE LIV GOD! Damn she's an FBI agent, OBVIOUSLY something is wrong! She just gets on my last nerve!

I’ve always thought it strange that Walter was charged with manslaughter following the fire at his lab. Was the fire started deliberately as a pretext - a convenient way to control him when his experimentation got too dangerous?

... and what would it look like? Yes, I am aware that this might be blasphemy 😂

I have been asking this question in the sci-fi subreddit but basically, the idea came to my mind while finishing season 4 of Fringe for the first time. Yeah, I know I am late to the party.

The thing is, since the middle of season 1 I am constantly recommending this series to most of the people I know in real life. Sadly, nobody really picked it up - for most, the series is "too old" or "too weird" to watch now. As you all are aware of it, the format of series changed drastically over the past years. And it frustrates me, that a lot of people now seem to have issues with watching older series (although some of them are far superior to what the trending series are now).

Anyway, what do you think? Could a loving remake of series like Fringe and Warehouse 13 still work today? And if so, what would it look like for you? Isn't a remake of Battlestar Galactica currently being planned?

Disclaimer: This is a hypothetical question. I don't need a remake of any of these series. But I like to imagine what some series could look like in a newer look.

1. At the end Walter got erased from 2015 onward then who did Peter think his dad was / how does the timeline account for that?

2. Also doesn't Peter in the original timeline still die because his dad couldn't cure him? So was the Peter at the end in his "normal" worldline?

Everyone I read all your comments.. and i got to say I DISAGREE THAT SHOW IS THE BEST SHOW IVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME!! The plot is freaking amazing!! The cast is excellent idc what ya'll say. I was on the edge of my seat I even cried when Ben's wife grace died that show made me think I mean really think. Hats off to the producer and director thank you for that show hopefully there's gonna be another soon.and they might not be academy award winning actors but I loved them all in that show ❤️

Observers..... Why no hair?

I get that they are a more "advanced" species of human that has sacrificed emotions for intelligence.

Why no hair though?!??

Second question: why are there not female observers?!?

How do you feel about it? I personally feel it’s among the worst episodes apart from the scenes at the lab with Walter, Olivia’s niece and Astrid.

One we can skip without missing a beat. A filler of the highest kind during those days when TV shows had over 20 episodes.

How do you feel about this episode?

I don’t usually get overly emotional at tv shows but Fringe has me in a chokehold no matter how many times I watch it. Among the lines that make me lose it are “She is your Olivia” (even writing it has me choking up) and also “Keep looking up. After it rains, keep looking up.” There’s something so poignant and powerful in these lines/scenes that are heartbreaking and also hopeful. What lines squeeze your heart in Fringe?

I just realized I have not been getting Walter bot replies lately?

Had started this series when it aired on Fox. This is the third time I attempt to watch this show. First time, I was enamored and then I moved to another country before VPN use and also had no time to watch series. I re attempted watching it years later and had read a spoiler alert which removed motivation from me lol. I just restarted it a month ago and why in earth did JJ Abrams mess everything up after season 2?

Any diehard fans here agree that this whole Peter “death” universe change situation sucks? Also, Olivia’s partner who was also a cortexiphan trial kid/ solder was burned to shreds and treated while being held prisoner in the alternate universe and he stays in the alternate universe? How is it that his doppelgänger is in the “og” universe working for fringe ? How did he appear, or did JJ Abrams use him as an additional alternate character? I am confused and this whole thing sucks. Is it worth it to finish the series ?

This is my first time watching Fringe and I’ve never browsed this sub, so apologies if I’m pointing out anything obvious or discussed before. The last several episodes have just caught my attention with parallels to other shows that have made me think they stole ideas from Fringe. For example:

Fringe Season 3 Episode 9 “Marionette”: This is weirdly similar to a Criminal Minds episode, Season 8 Episode 10. Both involve stealing young girls to make their bodies perform via puppet strings

Fringe Season 4 Episode 3 “Alone in the World”: Odd parallel with the entire premise of The Last of Us…. A spore that causes mind control and can communicate across multiple hosts?

I’d love to hear any parallels with other shows y’all have noticed, keeping in mind I’m only on season 4 episode 4 so I’m begging for no spoilers 🥲

The first time I watched Fringe I was single and living alone in a one bedroom apartment working nonstop. That was years ago, like I was 22 and now I'm 35 with a husband and two kids. So I completely forgot a lot of the details and stories. It was like I was watching it for the first time again, which is always a good feeling.

Anyway, it's rare that a TV show actually has a remarkable ending. One that wraps everything up, answers questions, and bittersweet and full of redemption and forgiveness. I really really liked the ending. I can't stop thinking about it.

When September (Donald) insisted on going with the boy and trying to express his love for him in a way that he will understand was so heartwarming and when he died and it was obvious Walter had to go in his place to' fulfill his destiny' UGH! it just got so perfectly no matter how sad it was. Such great writing in my opinion.

I'm four episodes in, but for now everything weird that's happening ist like "Oh Walter worked on that back in the days" it's really taking me out of it. I like the weird shit that's happening but it seems like the explanation is simply that Walter worked on it for the government and I think that's dumb. I like the show so far but it just shatters the illusion for me sometimes

Thanks guys I'll keep watching until it makes sense <3

Update: I spent my free day like a productive member of society and binged a couple of episodes, I'm on 13 now and it's a lot better, I don't understand why the first cases were all 'walter worked on it' if they had spaced those out a bit more a new viewer wouldn't feel quite as bullshited. Walter seems to be connected still but it's not so bluntly "yeah I did this for the government". Anyways the show is fucking awesome I'm hooked

It’s serialized so it’s easier to tell who the person of interest is every episode. It’s a lot easier when they are all blue-eyed with unique chins. Just an observation, but damn.

Questions.....

In this episode, Fauxlivia asks for help from Olivia and mentions that she spoke to her Broyles.

How is alternate Broyles alive?!?! He died when Fauxlivia was returned to her universe.

Am I missing something?
