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.

  2. ¡Mba’éichapa los perros! Soy Derlis desde Luque.
    Como alguien que respira fútbol y se juega hasta el sueldo en combinadas, mi señora me quiere
    echar de casa por lo que apuesto, pero no me importa absolutamente nada.

    Al empezar el campeonato, quería romper el televisor de la rabia con ese maldito 4-1 contra USA que
    me hizo perder mucha plata. Pero la raza guaraní nunca
    se rinde: vencimos a los turcos 1-0 sudando sangre en la
    cancha y logramos sobrevivir a la fase de grupos con ese sufrido 0-0 ante Australia.

    ¡Lo que vivimos contra los alemanes fue épico, digno de una película!
    Nadie daba un solo guaraní por nosotros, pero aguantamos como verdaderos leones el 1-1 hasta el final de la prórroga.
    ¡Esa tanda de penales, ganando 4-3, me hizo llorar
    tirado en el piso como una criatura!
    ¡Reventé mi cuenta en la casa de apuestas porque le puse plata a que pasábamos y pagaban una cuota de locura
    total!
    Se viene el monstruo de Francia en octavos y ya tengo mi boleto de apuesta
    armado. ¡No me importa si la lógica dice que nos golean, yo muero con la mía y apuesto todo a
    una nueva hazaña!
    ¡A dejar hasta la última gota de sangre, vamos mi Paraguay querido!

  4. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting
    my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
