I've been kind of bored with this season (half season?) but I'm still loyal!

I'm always loyal!

It figures - I totally just realized my Lincoln Lee crush.

I still think this show is flawless. Love that Lincoln is getting more time and love that Dr. Jones is back. In Season 1, before he died, Jones was "building an army," but once he's killed all exploration of that ends very abruptly. It's one of the biggest plot holes in the series, and it seems like they are filling it in.

I've been watching both Mad Men and Fringe since the beginning and I just now realized Jones is Lane Pryce! Jeez.

Whoa, hey! This most recent episode? WHAT? From which of the two worlds did THIS timeline spring?

Someone made a metafilter post about it!

This show is so good. The actors who play Walter and Olivia alone make it worthwhile.

WHAT THE HELL.

Which aspect?

I noticed that in the Observer-occupied future, Sriracha will still be available on the counters of seedy street vendors.

all of it! the whole rest of the show in 2036? glargh. i saved it so i can rewatch it.

well at least there's good hot sauce :D

I'm kind of disappointed too. I also barely even understand what's going on. And I've seen every episode!

me too! maybe we should have fringe gatherings to discuss. also, i met 2 raleigh vegans on twitter (and once IRL)

Were they Kathleen and Xavier, perchance? Those are the only vegans I know in Raleigh. Ha.

molly, sorry! I bowed out on fringe i think - it was not! it was meredith and jessica!

anyway, i haven't watched since the first ep of the season which i really hated. i have them all on dvr and can't decide if i should watch or just stay quit.

They're winding up for an ending, and are bringing back stuff from previous episodes. This week they went looking for some of those pods that burrow through the ground from, I think, season 1. And there's an interesting thing going on with Peter.

Unfortunately the show 2 episodes ago (the one with wormholes and firing grenades into them... Not particularly spoilery, I think.) had THE WORST DIALOG EVER. It was super flat and awful. The stuff going on was interesting, but it was like the writers didn't bother coming up with people to say and just lifted crepe dialog from other places. But it does get better.

Only 7 more episodes to go. I'll miss it. Not as much as if it had ended a couple of seasons ago, but I've enjoyed it.

okay i'll marathon soon then. thanks!

I really really don't understand the direction they have taken this year. It's a completely different show in basically every way. But I can't quit it because of Pacey.

At least the Science Channel is now showing the series, starting last night (11/20/2012) with the pilot. I think the day after Thanksgiving they're having a marathon running of all of season 1, too.

Yep:

starting with the pilot at 10:30am

I still like it, but if this was how the show was the whole time I wouldn't be into it.

And now it's over, and in the end it was about fathers. Three of them: Walter, September, and Peter. Or four, if you count Walternate. Or five, if you count original-universe Walter. Some of them lost their sons, and some of them were lost themselves, and one of them lost and regained a daughter.

I've been watching this show since before both of my own sons were born. It's kind of silly, but it's made me think about fatherhood. If it meant life or death for one of my sons, and I had the means, I would destroy universes. And then I'd probably feel bad about it and have parts of my brain removed, but still.

That was a pretty satisfying ending.

I liked the end - I mean, we got what we want, but there's so much missing. I'll have to process.

I skipped to the end of this thread because I'm not caught up, but I haven't been sleeping lately so I started watching fringe and I am now, 5 days later halfway through season 4.

Joshua Jackson is SUCH a babe, holy shiitake.

he seriously is.
