I added a pole but it didn't appear. The first option on the poll was "Don't need to see the ep. The Promo alone is the best Fringe Ever!'

It.Looks.Awesome.

Something about that trailer makes me wonder if Lincoln has long left in this world.

ah that was a nice ending with olivia again

the rest... hmm
wonder what the big plan is

The Black Oil

Monster thing was a bit lame.

Walter's presents were gas.

FreudianSlippers

Bit of a snorefest I found. Can we get a poll?

don ramo

what a lovely tie :D

an ok episode, really more of a set-up episode, i do wonder if the fact the monsters were nocturnal has some significance, does DRJ have some plan to stop/block the sun, or were these ones purely experimental,

expectationlost

well the monster was in the first season of the show we love so can't blame them for bringing it back.

what did astrid do to her eyebrows!, ugh i hate overly plucked eyebrows

The Black Oil

Yeah, Astrid's make up seemed different here.

zzzzzzzzzz boring episode,

Am I the only one left wondering as to why they are dragging this Peter from another time line thing on so long????? I mean he knows what the story is now right? Surely all he had to do was explain it to the others (which he doesn't appear to have done, not even to oliva ) and we could move on already

He has told them and they have all accepted it. It's why Walter was giving him his birthday presents and why Lincoln was so sad. It was a fairly boring episode though. If we have to have filler can we not have it in the other universe. I'd come to be quite fond of Fauxlivia and the original Lincoln. I'd like to see an episode over there. It might also be nice if Peter filled Walternate and Elizabeth in that he is actually their son.

poiuytsam

its a great series , although I have been getting a bit bored , with the peter thing, not knowing his time line etc... , by the way who shot the observer ? and his he now back ? Peter found his beacon ?

Yep. I don't think they did it well though tbh.

Really ???? Must have not have being paying attention, I would have expected more of a change after him telling them though

Edit: What made me think he hadn't said anything was when they keep referring to Oliva as being 2 different ones like 60 % ours 40% other or what ever it was Broils said in this weeks, if they had been told then they would accept she is becoming the real olvia pre-timeline alteration ?????

being told there is a different timeline she's coming back to is a bit different to having the agent you always thought you knew forgetting her sister has a second child, forgetting cases, forgetting her adoptive mother and their relationship etc

even if it means she's becoming more "real" to the viewers, in the show to the other characters she's still someone being taken over by different memories and becoming different in general
it's not 40% "not ours", it's 40% losing her memories

Yeah I get that now, as a viewer though it really is annoying

A very poor filler episode IMO.

red dave

Oops looks like i'm in the minority of liking this ep. It was a bit slow in parts but if i can sit through an episode (even played at faster speed) of walking dead, then this was easy. I thought the monster fx were excellent, although the flight scene a little dodge.

If there was a poll...i'd give it either 3 or 4 out of 5

Temptamperu

I am with Red Dave, I thought it was a good episode, funny, sad , exciting and plenty of Walter.
I do wonder what all the giant animals where about and what RDJ wants and also want to know who shot September.

The Black Oil

Props to the actor who played the monster actually, thought he did a good job.

ixoy

Kinda hoping that the ship at the end isn't the reveal for the next plot arc - hybrid monsters. "Sanctuary" already has the idea of abnormals covered.

can we ban this bs phrase from tv forums? jeez

It was ok, at this stage its about setting up the season ender in a few episodes time.

And no, I didn't spot him either

It seems like the writers are fully aware that they might get cancelled at any moment, so they're trying to wrap up as many loose threads this season as possible - so far we've learned who the Observers actually are, what the metal sphere from season 1 is, and learned more about the massive porcupine creature.

I read somewhere that they said the ending of this season would be a fitting end to the series if it didn't get a renewal.

Kiith

It's ridiculous that they don't already know if there's going to be a renewal. Hate the way networks work in the US.

where is the observer going? he doesn't seem to be observing.

It seems to be actually rare that the Observers are actually observing. In most occasions, they're seen walking out of the scene.

maybe he was finished observing

Maybe he observes with his mind.
