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. Hi every one, here every one is sharing these knowledge, so it’s
    nice to read this weblog, and I used to visit
    this web site all the time.

  2. I like that you mention pet policies as a factor. For some seniors, staying with a pet can be a major source of comfort. When we searched on elderly care , we filtered for pet-friendly Independent and Assisted Living communities.

  3. My family learned the hard way that large facilities can be overwhelming. Smaller homes made it easier for my dad to get timely support with medications and daily routines. I’m glad I came across elderly care while researching.

  4. For active seniors who simply want freedom from home maintenance, Independent Living really seems ideal. I discovered many such communities on respite care that emphasized travel, clubs, and low-maintenance lifestyles.

  5. I blog frequently and I genuinely thank you for your content.
    This article has truly peaked my interest.
    I’m going to book mark your website and keep checking for new information about once per week.
    I opted in for your RSS feed too.

  6. I think it’s important to find a power washing company that tailors the pressure level to the surface—low pressure for siding, higher for concrete, etc. The explanations I saw on Pressure Washing helped me understand why that matters.

  7. It’s helpful to think of Assisted Living as a bridge between Independent Living and Nursing Homes. That idea was reinforced by some of the infographics I saw on senior care when we were planning care for my grandmother.

  8. It’s helpful to know that Independent Living can be a good stepping stone for seniors who want to downsize but are not ready for personal care services. I first considered that pathway after reading about it on senior care .
