    Ah Fringe, I missed you.

    Those people were creepy looking.

      Damn it, I didn't expect to come into the Fringe thread and see spoilers for Lost. I'm not done watching the series, now I've had things ruined for me. C'mon, man.

        I apologize for that. I clearly wasn't thinking. What I said is revealed in the first season and won't ruin anything for you later.

          It's all good man. As long as it doesn't ruin things down the line.

              Its an unaired standalone from the first season. No clue as to why they decided to just air it out the blue

                        The last few weeks have been pretty good but continually breaking it up is getting old....

                          Good episode. Very emotional in various ways. Seeing what Olivia went through, watching her go back to a state of fear and then her reaction when noticing the glimmer on Peter, and this right after you had this feeling that the both of them were getting so close.

                          As for the point of the episode: the glimmer isn't the streak of light that I will continue to say is important, but that streak of light popped up a couple times during intense moments when the two dimensions were interacting or converging in some way.

                          I still wonder if that light is viewable to the characters or if it's just a tool to make the audience aware that the two realities are colliding at that specific moment.

                            I don't know if the show-runners have already mapped out the direction they want the show to take as it goes forward (I guess it depends on how long it lasts) but the overreaching arc can go in so many different directions, that its exciting to think about how it may play out.

                            This is still my top show by a very wide margin.

                            Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                              9-20-10, the combination on the lock, a date? Perhaps the date of the catastrophe the observers are here to record?

                                I was asking myself this same question while watching the episode.

                                Fringe hasn't had this huge following LOST has, so the producers aren't really pushed to come up with answers, but I'd like to hear what they have to say about this.

                                I know that during Comic Con in NY between the first season of Fringe, Jeff Pinkner said that they started with the ending of the show before writing the pilot. "We know how our show is going to end," were his words.

                                That being said, I wonder how much they have planned out. Do they go season-to-season with a new arc? Unlike LOST, Fringe can milk the middle without issue because they can focus on a new, made-up mystery - it's Olivia's job to.

                                But the wonderful thing about this series is that it never seems to drag. Sure, we're only on Season 2, so we don't know what s3 will look like, but it's easy to stomach a filler episode about a random event because that's what drew the audience to Fringe in the first place.
