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. Hey mate, great job on this deep dive regarding 1xBet
    aggressive advertising strategies in the subcontinent.

    You rightly pointed out that in recent years leading up to 2026,
    we have seen a massive influx of these betting sponsorships.
    They are heavily involved in the Lanka Premier League (LPL) and
    even Kabaddi in India.

    Yet, we must be realistic, we shouldn’t ignore the massive benefits.
    These sponsorships is highly beneficial for the growth of domestic tournaments in our region.

    If these companies were banned from advertising, local franchises like the ones in the LPL would completely fail to attract top-tier international talent.
    The truth is, this money trickles down to grassroots sports development.

    So, while your journalistic concerns are completely valid, I firmly
    believe having these sponsors is a net positive.
    Makes for a very interesting discussion!

  3. The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to
    see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad
    is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
