Re: Fringe anyone?
Peter is definitely turning into an observer, and I wish Joshua Jackson would have played the observer looks (odd head tilts, blank expressions, quick head movements) with a bit more subtlety at first so we could have discovered it a bit more slowly, but that's nitpicking.
Note that the Science channel is going to start showing the series from the beginning starting Tuesday. They tend to grind through series quick, so it might be a good way to watch random episodes of the old seasons.

Re: Fringe anyone?
So i guess that viral casting video with Joshua Jackson acting as an observer at the end wasn't just misdirection.HELLO BROOKYLN.

I kept wondering if we'd get the lump of hair in my hand scene.

Re: Fringe anyone?
Just rewatched the pilot since it aired on Science channel today and I think I smiled the entire time I watched it. Nothing new, or no new takes on anything, it was still pretty straightforward, but it was fun seeing them all meet again.
One thing I did notice that I'm sure I didn't before, the plane had Massive Dynamic logos on the engine's fan hub. Nothing major or important, just something you would never notice until watching it again.
Going to be a season 1 marathon friday, BTW, with intros by John Noble and thoughts on the science by Michio Kaku. Always a fan of Kaku's thoughts on science fiction, so definitely setting thee DVR.
Also, they ran a commercial saying they would be showing terra Nova (meh) and Dollhouse in a continued effort to have Scifi programming on the air. Not sure how I feel about Science channel going fiction, but since SyFy no longer seems interested in showing actual SciFi, it's nice that someone is willing.Last edited by Burns11; 11-21-2012, 02:36 AM.Comment

Blah. I don't have cable so really don't know what specific networks air. That's sad. Niche markets are losing their niche channels because the economic structure to sustain a network can't support a niche one.
I've thought of the Peter being September possibility but holy paradox. How could he save himself if he was already dead? Unless maybe he always saves himself and the head honcho wants him to not save a young Peter because he knows he becomes September and eventually takes down the system.
Or the above is still possible without Peter becoming September. He just needs to become an Other.

Did Gilliam do that, or was it just someone with a spot on imitation?Comment

Man am I going to miss this show. Very few shows in the history of television have had the balls take the storytelling risks that this show has.Jordan Mychal Lemos

Re: Fringe anyone?
Same here. Fringe is the only show I follow every week. I think Fox killed it when they moved it to the Friday time slot. They could have done so much more with the 2 universes plot line.Comment

Agreed though I'm glad we even got 5 seasons out of it. Some great shows went 5 seasons (The Wire, Breaking Bad, Lost) so I don't feel immediately slighted as a fan.
The universe created has potential to be told in several mediums. I know there was a comic once. I'd love to see it come back or even have books on it. I'd buy those. I don't want the story of Fringe to ever end.

Re: Fringe anyone?
The show was dead before then, if anything Friday saved it, the show wouldn't have lasted another season on another night. Somehow through the lowered ratings expectations on Fridays, combined with the syndication threshold, we got 5 seasons out of the show.
As far as the two universes go, I feel like it was fairly played out and they had two ways to go, expand it to another universe or contract it to one. I feel like they made the right call.Comment
