It's back! And the observers aren't just observing anymore... Nice! Can't wait to find out their purpose.

[McLovin]

Ahhhhhh, Fringe is back. And Walter is as delightfully batshit as ever.

[Abyss]

Coolest.
Observer. Ep.
Yet.


Seriously, how cool was it to watch the Observer kick ass at the jewel heist?

Nice bit of storytelling too the way the old rock star, the jewel girl and Walter's stories all wound together. No wonder the ratings are a problem, that was some actually intelligent tv there. dammit.

Yeah it became a nice cirlce there at the end that s for sure. Christopher Lloyd was as always wacky and great.

He was. it was a surprisingly effective performance for Lloyd actually. he can do bugnuts but not usually with depth.

good news on the ratings side http://tvbythenumber...-faux-fox/79853



The move to Friday kept 100% of the Thursday audience, which was sort of the plan to raise Fox's numbers on Friday. Despite my ongoing irritiation at networks relying on outdated neilsen digits, this may work out for FRINGE yet.

Oh, I love this show. It's amazing! I watch Fringe in english thanks to some Italian amateur subtitles (which in Italian are far superior to dubbing -.-), so I'm at par with original broadcastings. I really love John Noble. And his Twin Peaks glasses. And Gene, too.

I LOVE EASTER EGGS. I think they're one of the best interesting things in Fringe. They push you to watch over again the show just to discover where is the Observer...
...wonderfull...

Are The Observers still supposed to be in every episode in the back ground? I HAVE NEVER SPOTTED ONE.

Sure! Look for it or, if you're not patient (sometimes it takes a lot!!!), looks on Fringepedia. There are many other easter eggs: red-green series of light, the glyphs, clues, numbers linked with Olivia. In Entrada there's a scene in which we can spot 108 cents on a table...!!!
I link the Observer Appearance here!

It's not every single ep but it's most of them, usually in the background just before something big happens and very very quick.

Believe me: the observer is everywhere.
I suggest you be careful when you leave the house. XD

No, really: there's a scene in each ep in which you can see him. Sometimes he's hidden, sometimes he's in front of you. But he's always present.

@ Brian: You're welcome. I can't find the Ob in each ep, so I search into internet for images. We have an Italian unofficial site that discovers all misterious things and each easter eggs, but Fringepedia is the best!

The latest Fringe ep left me a bit cold. Not for the plot per se, but how they structured/edited it. They blipped over

Spoiler

Peter's decision to become a serial-shapeshifter-killer

to generate what IMO was artificial suspense. Will be interesting to see how this character arc continues now that Walter is in on it.

[Kilgore Trout]

Well, In the latest episode....

Spoiler

Peter never made the decision to become a serial shapeshifter killer. The machine "weaponized" him. IOW, not only did peter effect a universe destroying weapon, but the weapon effected him. Which is why they named the episode "Reciprocity". And I wonder if the shapeshifter who was doing tests on peter learned anything interesting that he decided not to share with the gang.

RIGHT!

Spoiler

It will be wonderful if they try to show how Peter react to this weaponized event. I think also that he can't choose, right now, to save shapeshifter or kill them - it's the weapon that changed him, so he can't choose. Anyway, J.J. will be probably able to destroy each single speculation about Fringe... XD

You know this is the fringe season 3 thread. So if people are in here then they should be caught up with Fringe thus eliminating the need for spoilers...

Also this season has started off really strong. Personally I am wondering at Peter's new need for secrecy that probably won't end well it could be the thing that allows Walter to finally let him go. Does anyone remember if the Professor to whom the missing piece was delivered was on Peter's hit list. I don't think so. But I think that name would have been included in the other olivia's notes.

That's my point - we kinda missed the whole reaction thing and just went straight to the sneaky-shooty

This is a matter of script. I mean - How Peter could react to this event if he didn't realize it? I think that only in the end of the episode Peter realize what he becomes - thanks to his father. Before the last scene, when Walter explain the reciprocity of the weapon, Peter is not aware because he's controlled. But in next episodes he has to make a choice to manage this problem. I think that Peter was really like a weapon untill his father's words came out: unable to choice.

Spoiler

I was under-whelmed with the last episode. In the beginning when Olivia and Peter scan the post office video for "a clue" it seemed effortless, they then take it to Astrid and immediately using face recognition software, she gets a hit. Even though it was a side view of a man who looked nothing like his service photo. WAY too easy to track member one, and lost me for the rest of the show. The lack of Peter showing anything other than "normal Peter" attitude in this ep was also a downer. Walter was top notch (farts in germ suit and feels sick, has to pee at the cabin, etc.). The story arc was just mediocre IMO, and until the end I just couldnt get into it. I give it 3 out of 10 on the Fringe-o-meter but next week looks like a more exciting episode. I just don't get the huge momentum leading into this episode, and dropping off so suddenly...

Anyway, thats just my opinion. I dont often add my input as I am a Fringe fanatic and only have good things to say about the show, but I wanted to see if I am the only one to feel this way about the last ep.

Also - how cool would it be if as a twist we find out that Peter is in fact the illegitimate son of William Bell and not really Walter's son anyway.

That would make me stop watching. We've already stretched the Walter-technically-not-Peter's-dad bit as far as we should.

Finally caught up on all episodes. I can start reading through this thread. I just want someone to be a clone. Or a robot. People always freak out when they're clones or robots. Also, more time travel.
