I also have no idea how the writers are going to 'fit' the old and new universes together, or if they are going to do so, and I think that it's great that a show can keep me guessing.<br /><br />I loved the serial killer episode, and the idea that one moment can change the direction of the entire course of someone's life. I also really liked the episode with the time jumps.<br /><br />I don't think the writers really cheated with regards to Peter. In the universe we're currently in the Peter we knew never did exist; just like Olivia and Alt-Olivia aren't the same person because they have different memories and experiences, the Peter that died in the frozen lake in the current timeline isn't the same Peter that we know and love.<br /><br />My only slight problem with this season is that when the two universes joined together at the end of last season I was hoping that this season we would get a bit more collaboration between them. We did get some in the serial killer episode, but other than that the Other Side haven't really made an appearance. I hope that we see more of it as the season progresses.<br /><br />Overall, I have loved this season of 'Fringe' so far and I am sure that it will continue to get better. I pray that the television gods have the sense to keep this show on our screens for many more seasons.Quarksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-32284134620027503282011-11-22T16:07:13.871-05:002011-11-22T16:07:13.871-05:00A lot of people are impatient with S4 (i.e. where&...A lot of people are impatient with S4 (i.e. where's Peter, where's my universe, where's my timeline, let's kill OurLinc), but I don't have any objection to watching the story take the long and winding road home. <br /><br />What I do take issue with is episodes like this week's standalone snoozefest (bracing for backlash now), which was like a little slice of Season One Hell for me. All that was missing this week was a giant centipede or killer tomatoes. The last scene with Nina and her thugs just barely pulled this one out of the dumpster, IMO. <br /><br />I have to agree with Nikki with regards to Anna Torv. I knew I liked her the moment she told Broyles <a href="http://www.google.ca/imgres?q=%22olivia+dunham%22+%22i+just+want+to+go+back+to+before%22&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=VTy&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1600&bih=807&tbm=isch&prmd=imvnsfdo&tbnid=kMSwbp74Wafm9M:&imgrefurl=http://www.fringetelevision.com/2011/09/observiews-401-neither-here-nor-there.html&docid=X3xWqt8RuU5uiM&imgurl=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nTrv-oGSSko/ToQAurvyHPI/AAAAAAAAN2Q/qKnl1JGf5KE/s1600/normal_fringe101-1439.JPG&w=576&h=324&ei=JA3MTvmTPMjj0QGNvLAE&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=512&sig=118218439767733859899&page=1&tbnh=123&tbnw=219&start=0&ndsp=31&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0&tx=93&ty=63" rel="nofollow">"I just want to go back to before"</a>. Girl says so much with just her facial expressions. <br /><br />Bottom Line: I continue to enjoy "Fringe" and, based on its chronically sluggish ratings, it remains highly underviewed, possibly because of the wastage of S1 and the first part of S2 with those Monsters 'R' Us episodes. People who didn't stick with it just don't know what they're missing.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-17770835030120911652011-11-22T14:16:35.547-05:002011-11-22T14:16:35.547-05:00It's a credit to the writers that the viewers ...It's a credit to the writers that the viewers feel so much empathy for characters who are only in one episode -- like Eugene.Beachgirl5835https://www.blogger.com/profile/15407081463579587256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-85116191680361034192011-11-22T10:55:31.579-05:002011-11-22T10:55:31.579-05:00I’m keeping up with Fringe and loving it!

I was about to say I feel for Peter, having lost his world (or place in his world), but really I feel for all of them - Walter for having lost Peter, Olivia for having never known him. And I really like this Lincoln. Definitely good stuff so far this year.JavaChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816858010039395389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-797704162039982782011-11-22T10:03:47.267-05:002011-11-22T10:03:47.267-05:00So, so good this year.

I think back on how indifferent I was about Olivia (and Anna Torv's portrayal thereof) after that first season, and I can scarcely believe it's the same show. Agreed that she & Noble in particular have been terrific. That scene from a few weeks back when she gently foils his lobotomy/suicide attempt was one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever seen on tv. No idea how they'll untangle the knot they've made, but I love to watch them work at it.<br /><br />I have to go write about zombies now...yourblindspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17976169517693699335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-70069631738509135212011-11-22T03:53:07.076-05:002011-11-22T03:53:07.076-05:00I'm watching!

Is this also not where he belongs? I just don't know!<br /><br />And Nikki, I love that you refer to other shows in this post.

I gotta agree with The Question Mark, episode 2 was the pick so far (and that's saying something for this season). It was just so refreshing to see, the guy had the same urges to kill, and mastered them. He had love, and that was the difference. So, so well done. Walter's home brain surgery attempt was just incredible. Just the fear in John Nobles' voice when he's assuring Olivia that everything was fine - damn, that's one fine Australian actor (OI! OI! OI! :) I hope there's no struggle for Fringe to get a 5th (and 6th, and 7th) season like there was last year. It's just so damn good. And as for the fate of the new timeline, TQM (if I may address you as such, good sir or madam as the case may be), do you think, like I do, that an albino suit-guy (I can't remember what we call them! Watchers? Reality Cops?) may be about to show up, now that Peter is working on the machine again? Oh, that reminds me, I loved in the latest episode Peter's gratitude to Lincoln for 'treating him like a human being'. It was a great moment, and reinforced the idea that Peter thinks he's in a different reality, when he says 'that's not my Olivia'. And Lincoln! He hasn't slept since he got there? What the hell??!! How is he even functioning? There is a VERY interesting story coming up about Lincoln, says I!Batcabbagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609077644806458692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-34245672847700333852011-11-22T00:00:15.727-05:002011-11-22T00:00:15.727-05:00I am watching!

I never realized how much talk/support/shipping there was/is of the Peter-Olivia relationship. As much as I wanted them to be together in theory, I didn't think they had much chemistry as a romantic couple once they (finally!!) did get together- mostly in the Olivia to Peter direction.. I have a hard time believing that it is Anna's fault because she is such a great actress- maybe it's that the character was still quite guarded even though she started opening up and becoming romantically involved with Peter last season. Or maybe I just want Josh/Peter all to myself, haha.
