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.

  10. I must say, I have spent a significant weeks testing several crash apps, and it’s apparent that the official aviator app download offers a real impact in overall stability.
    A certain thing I have realized is that delay is the biggest enemy, and thus having the stable aviator game app seems absolutely mandatory during the tense coefficient flights.
    In my view, I truly suggest that profit arises from patience instead of simply total luck,
    so you must forever verify that aviator game app download prior to depositing your actual bankroll.
    Another notable observation is how social features assist
    to identify market cycles in the middle of active hours.
    Does anyone know if any of you like using the automated tool is it better to is
    manual reaction feel better safe for your style? I’d
    really like to hear the ideas on whether the best aviator game app
    truly beats this desktop original version regarding your past
    games.
