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.

  1. I’ve been researching options for my parents, and the combination of a homelike setting plus hands-on daily living support in small homes is really appealing. senior care has been an excellent reference.

  2. As an adult child living in another state, the clarity here helps me talk more confidently with my siblings. We’ve been using respite care to compare communities and learn what each level of care actually offers.

  4. Your comparison really helps dispel the myth that all senior living options are the same. When I started learning about this, respite care was one of the first places that clearly separated Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Nursing care.

  5. The staff-resident relationships in small environments can be life-changing for someone with dementia. Familiar, trusted caregivers reduce fear. I realized the importance of this after reading about it on elderly care .
