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. After reading this, it’s much easier to see which setting might fit my mother’s needs right now and how that might change later. To continue my research, I’m using tools on senior care to compare specific communities side by side.

  2. Every single homeowner should prioritize educating themselves around chemical interactions occurring within their pools as doing so promotes healthier environments overall while preventing costly repairs down line brought forth by negligence seen pool chemicals

  3. Howdy! I simply want to give you a huge thumbs up for your great
    information you have right here on this post. I’ll be coming back to your
    web site for more soon.

  4. The reminder that Nursing Homes are best for complex medical needs, while Assisted Living suits those who need help with daily tasks, really helps clarify options. I also found care-level checklists on senior care that were very useful.

  5. It’s good to see emphasis on personal choice—some seniors want more autonomy, others feel safer with 24/7 nursing care. On elderly care , they talk a lot about matching personality and preferences to the right type of community.

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