The Day We Became Confused

The Fringe finale was confusing. “A major character will die!” “Peter meets his destiny!” “The Doomsday machine completes its purpose!” While all of those spoilers were true, I almost feel like the finale wasn’t a conclusion to the Season 3 arc, rather than a stand alone episode. We had no Lincoln Lee, no mention of Henry (Nugget; who may or may not exist now), no Sam Weiss, no Mr. X, no mention of William Bell, etc. A throwaway line by Peter as to who the First People were did not satisfy me at all, and if anything, soured the whole mythology of the First People.

Did I like the episode despite all of this? Yes. I’m a bit confused, though. Are we now to believe that the timeline of the show has been a flashback and it’s actually 2026 now? I almost hope that is the case, as I don’t want to see a ton of time travel on Fringe. I would guess, however, that we will not go forward again and will be in the 2011 current day for Season 4. Now that the teams from the two universes have been brought together, I’m not sure how everyone will get home.

I’m also no less confused by The Observers. I get the last scene, I really do, but what a messy way to achieve their means. There had to be a less complicated way to bridge the universes if the need was so great. OK, maybe I don’t fully get it; did they create Peter? Was he a Starbuckian avatar? I’ve read speculation close to that, and I guess it makes the most sense to me. Young Peter died in both universes, but Walter/Walternate still became entangled in the quantum entanglements that resulted from their work, leading to the same moment of decision in “The Day We Died.”

All I really know is that Fringe Season 4 needs to get here soon.

  15. Greetings! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
    I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems
    with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another
    platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  22. A course on Biomagnetism by Dr. Garcia is enlightening and
    comprehensive, with its detailed lectures combined with hands-on training.
    It has been designed for a broad range of learners at different stages in their career or from
    various fields; this it does by giving more weight to the scientific method as well as continuous
    developments in biomagnetism skills. The U.S courts are taught
    about not only through theoretical discussions but also practical seminars where students get involved with different activities related to what they have
    learnt so far during their studies such as principles behind this science
    and how it can be applied into practice within legal systems of America.

    There is an imposed strict dress code which aims at creating professionalism among all participants towards each other while showing respectfulness too.
    Those health care professionals who want to incorporate holistic methods into their practice especially those who want
    to be good at it should attend this workshop.

  26. Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
