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 would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard
    time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style
    seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  2. Aw, this was a really nice post. Spending some time and actual effort to
    make a superb article… but what can I say… I
    put things off a lot and never seem to get anything done.

  3. You are so cool! I do not think I’ve read a single thing like that
    before. So great to discover somebody with a few unique thoughts on this topic.

    Seriously.. many thanks for starting this up. This site is one thing that’s needed on the
    web, someone with some originality!

  4. First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a
    quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.

    I was curious to find out how you center yourself
    and clear your head before writing. I have had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like
    the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying to figure
    out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Thanks!

    information you present. It’s nice to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same unwanted rehashed material.

  8. Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few
    months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you
    have any solutions to protect against hackers?

  9. I’ve been browsing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and
    bloggers made good content as you did, the web will
    be much more useful than ever before.

  10. Just want to say your article is as surprising.

    I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring
    a blog article or vice-versa? My blog covers a lot of the same subjects
    as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you happen to be interested feel free to shoot
    me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Great
    blog by the way!

    Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end?
    I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

  13. An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment.
    I do believe that you need to write more on this subject matter, it might not be a
    taboo matter but usually people do not speak about such issues.

    To the next! Best wishes!!

  14. Can I just say what a relief to discover an individual who really knows what they’re
    talking about on the web. You certainly know how to bring an issue to
    light and make it important. More and more people should read this and understand this
    side of the story. I can’t believe you aren’t more
    popular because you most certainly have the gift.
