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.

  14. Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.
    Is it difficult to set up your own blog?
    I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
    I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where
    to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?
    Thank you

  50. I am very pleased to have located this blog post.
    I ascertain that there are an inadequate number of
    conversations about this problem, despite the fact that it undoubtedly impacts a significant portion within the citizenry.
    I’m just hoping to bring further additions on this site as
    time goes on, in the middle of my present hectic life as a massage party planner

    First, thank you for the information, and
    your distinctive perspective. I can value this blog and especially this information. At this point, I feel I
    use up much too much of my hours via the internet, reading junk, generally.
    This is a stimulating switch from what I’ve known. Still, I think that browsing other people’s
    helpful ideas is a particularly vital investiture of at any rate a bit
    of my weekly measure of time in my schedule.
    It’s almost like sifting into the junk heap to obtain the treasure.

    Or simply, whatever analogy will work for you. Nevertheless, being
    near the home computer is probably as harmful to you as
    smoking and fried chips.
