So first of all, Fringe is my favourite tv show of all time, I always come back to it and discover something new. Second, my partner is currently pregnant and we are binge watching a bit of TV and I of course recommend we watch Fringe since she hasn’t seen it before, but apparently she is partial to Joshua Jackson so it worked in my favour.

Somewhere during season 3…

My partner: What do you think of the name Olivia for our daughter?

Me: Excellent … 💪🏼🥳

Henrietta or Astrid as a middle name didn’t quite work though, I’ll just have to be happy I got one name in there 😂

Did anyone else notice in the beginning of the episode when Olivia was reaching for her migraine pill bottle in the bathroom cabinet, that it flashed to her with a different pill bottle color? One was blue and one was red. It was real quick so kind of hard to catch. I also think I remember that in the episode, it showed her with short blonde hair. Is this a completely different timeliness or universe?

Why the observers use air guns? If they triying to eliminate humans why use a weapon that in a worst scenario, if the head bangs in a hard surface the person dies?

hi, first time watcher here. i know everyone has different views but, i really felt bad for the man who got tortured by Etta 💔 more heartbreaking thing, Olivia was there to watch. witnessing her baby girl do it without emotions

(s01e03) i see u september 👀👓

Rewatching Alias. Just got to the episode in season 3 where Sydney undergoes an experimental procedure to recover a lost memory. The procedure involves taking some funky drugs and going into a dream state.

The procedure is administered by a kooky older scientist working out of Massachusetts who specialises in some off-centre science, frequently under the influence of drugs, and with random food cravings.

And all of this a mere five years before the premiere of Fringe.

Given both shows are the brainchild of JJ Abrams I can’t help but wonder if maybe this episode was the inspiration for what eventually became Fringe. Or maybe JJ liked Dr Brezzel enough he wanted to do a spin-off but it ended up becoming its own thing.

Thoughts?

I think Season 2 is the best followed by season 3

So I’m on s3e3 and I just had to take a pause and gab about how good the show is!! I’m never not in awe at that, and honestly I watch some good shows but we all know every show is going to have ups and downs and I just haven’t hit a down with this yet (given they don’t drag this whole Olivia switcharoo thing out too long cause I’m not the biggest fan of that trope in shows, but so far it hasn’t overstayed its welcome I’m still intrigued). The first episode where they first showed the alternate world was done so damn well I was giddy like a kid on Christmas. I love that they gave us no warning, no hints or explanations, just started showing us the episode and carrying on like nothing had happened 😂 seeing Charlie stunned me cause I loved Charlie so it kinda threw me off my game, all I could do was wonder why Charlie was here and why Olivia hair was red so I’m thinking it’s a flashback or something. Once I saw broyles is when I caught on and started acting like a school girl screaming “Omg omg omg omg” haha. So many more details but you guys know, you’ve watched the show and know it’s a whirlwind of great things. I can’t even begin to list every single thing that’s done right with this show, cause it’s almost like…. Everything lol. Just wanted to share though

did they mention some time in the show whether Olivia's powers work in this scene?

Olive-eater.

Edit: sorry all, I googled it before I posted and it said no ship name had been given. Evidently google was wrong and it’s Polivia, lol. My bad

I watched season one way back in the day and recently got into watching the show again.

I've just started season two and I'm a bit shaken.

First it was.... Is that Megan Markle?

Only to be followed with is that Luke out of Bros?!

I'm wondering if I'm experiencing a glimpse into that other version of our world.

i'm loving both versions of him 💙

touches glass. hehe.

Which creatures did you find scary, creepy or disgusting? I'm in Season 2 on my re-watch and I almost forgot they had this mutilated creature (the dead baby who clawed its way out underground, grew up and killed people undeground).

Season 4: Subject 9.

I'm doing a rewatch for the first time in like 10 years, it was a pleasant surprise to see him show up.

Hi good people!

I have been on a Fringe binge for a few weeks now - so happy (and mildly surprised) this show is holding up to my very fond memories of it from when I was in middle school! I have a brand new appreciation for Olivia too, as well as all the actors.

I find it hard to find the kind of fanfiction that I prefer (which is w/out smut, includes some whump and is well-written).

Maybe someone can help me out with a specific trope I’ve been looking for. Are there good fics out there where Peter figures out Fauxlivia is indeed not his Olivia back in season 3?

Any other beloved fanfic of yours will also be appreciated ☺️

Thank you!

Tldr; Looking for fanfic in which Peter figures out Fauxlivia is Fauxlivia and not his Olivia before receiving the phone call

And that it's active! Fringe has been my number one show since it came out when I was 15/16 and I'm now 32. I've just started my millionth rewatch with my boxset and I was trying to remember the last time I watched a dvd

I’m half way through season 4 and I have a burning question.

Peter was deleted but somehow ends up on a timeline where he never existed but Olivia starts to remember him.

My question is - why is this Olivia so close to our Olivia in personality but the other Olivia is so different? (Not just the hair 😝)

So now we are dealing with 4 Olivias right? Our Olivia and the one from the other universe. Then the two from the timeline where Peter never exited in the two universes.

Why are our Olivia and faulivia so different but their counterparts without Peter are so similar ?

Or will all be revealed?

Where do I find all the tech junkies to talk about all the incredible high-tech devices used in season 5?. "Olivia, I'm starting the laser" -Walter

Last night I watched S4E17 on MAX. As I'm viewing the first few minutes, I'm thinking "I've seen this episode before. Did I cue up the wrong season ?" I paused to check and confirm that I was watching the episode I wished to in the order I wished to. Then as I continued to watch I soon realized the joke was on me, that this was the same incident that the Fringe team previously investigated, but from the different timeline of season one. Sure enough the original case was from S1E13 titled The Transformation, and it begins exactly as S4E17 which is appropriately titled Nothing As It Seems. I just found it so interesting how I was fooled.

BTW, I watched Fringe many years ago and I'm now rewatching. I may have been fooled at my first watching or maybe just missed this quirk back then. I'm also thinking that I may not have had the ability to go back and watch that earlier episode like I can now. Anyway, I can't believe how well this series still plays out after all these years and is still just as good, at least from my perspective.

I swear. Every time I restart i just feel so lost on John and forget everything bc he just kinda bores me. Like okay yes, he’s from the black ops cell and undercover or whatever, but why did he kill the guy in the hospital? Or the other guy in the memory Liv sees, too. And why did he try and kill Liv on the road? I just don’t even feel like I understand what his actual mission was ultimately. And how is he connected to the pattern? Anyone? I’ve watched this show so many times, yet still… Maybe if I go on the fringe connections site it’ll make more sense.

Oh, also, the whole thing about “ask yourself why Broyals sent you to the storage facility” (or whatever he said), too.

As I said in a previous post, last Sunday I got to meet John Noble at a Con in Italy and let me tell you: he's absolutely precious 💙 (More in comments, because there's a lot to say)

Just wanted to show appreciation for a great side character. I really wanted to see more him in future episodes.
