It wouldn't be Fringe without some painfully obvious product placement - welcome back, buddy!

In an effort to find a way home, Peter journeys to the Other Side to confront Walternate. However, his venture proves more dangerous than expected. Meanwhile, Olivia receives a dire premonition from an Observer.


Excellent to see fringe back, jabbing left and right at the Chevy Volt's 40 mile range all the way to the bank - keep it up if it means a 5th series IMO! Get subway in too now that Chuck is almost over!

In all, I don't know if I loved it because I was missing Fringe or if it was just an all 'round great episode. I think a bit of both to be honest. I am glad to see this storyline getting put front and centre (the shapeshifters felt too much of a MOTW this season) and I'm glad AltWalternate is not a baddie after all.
I wonder what the Observer meant when he said what he said to Olivia (does it mean ALL versions of Olivia are bound to that fate, or just this Amber universe Olivia?)

In all I'm thrilled for next week, seen a few pics from the set and looks like it will be quite action packed too.

Wahoo, Jones is back he was my favourite character apart from Walter from the begining.

Don't know if I liked it either or if it was just getting my fix after going cold turkey for so long. I liked the end tho. Might actually get an answer to what ZFT actually was now.

Poor old September. Wonder who popped a cap in his ass. Hopefuly some kind of mutiny about his fellow weirdos.

The Black Oil

Yeah, a pretty strong episode overall.

main character "has to die" what does that remind me of?

yes richard its been talked about that for a while now, the show is more or less dead, and looks like it might go out on a high as long as the showrunners read the writing on the wall and end it right, its ridiculus but personally ive come to acept it as much as it fu3king annoys me no one is watching such a great show,

very interesting episode its not that september kept peter alive cause he liked him but it seems he wants oliva to live also for some reason and it looks like hes tried so hard its cost him his life,

interesting alright that it seems no matter how many alternative universes there are oliva never lives past a certain point in her life,

also anyone think it weird olivia never followed up with peter about crossing over herself,

Excellent episode, was not expecting to see Jones back or the sudden reveal of who truly was the shapeshifter.

Also, did anyone catch the glyphs in Walternate's eyes when he zapped your man? Looked like an apple and a seahorse, wonder what that was all about.

Elohim

Very cool episode, glad it's back.
Interesting to see the government in the alternate universe so heavily compromised, Broyles and the head scientist at least, and obviously loads more by the looks of that production line we saw a small bit of.

i wouldn't mind it ending this year, not let it fizzles out like x files

I think it should get one more season to wrap things up. People have invested time into the show and to rush end it would be a total slap in the face to the fans

I like where it is but I feel cheated by how it got there if that makes sense

One ep back and from the last episode which I had to download again to remember what happened seeing as they forgot to include Nina and Olivia in that "previously" bit like it ended last year,

I really wish this show would make it's mind up as to where it's going or ending, christ they even have me believing Peter is not the actual Peter from either universe now

The baseball really messed things up, this would have been a great show to go into the mid season break on.

A great episode, and in a way made me realise that this season hasn't been very good so far. I've been enjoying Peter's dissapearance and alternate time line stuff so far, but it really needed a little more conflict, a little more mystery, and whole lot more "wait, what just happened, what the f*** is going on here". And this episode finally brought some of that back.
