I had no memory whatsoever of him. And the only Kendra I remembered had a terrible accent.<br /><br />I'll miss over there terribly, but I have a hunch it'll be part of next season, too, when the two universes will fight together against something BIG.<br /><br />I hadn't thought about it before reading your review. I think Jones's plan was to shut down the machine all along. His plan A was simpler: having a mole destry it for him. But he considered its failure when planning, so he put forward a much more tiresome plan to force the Fringe teams, to give them no choice to turn off the machine.<br /><br />What impressed me the most in John Nobles's performance was how easy it was to tell apart Walter and Walternate, even if Walter was wearing clothes more similar to walternate's than usual, and even when they were silent. His whole body twitchs and posture changed. That very poignant scene where they talk privately in point: Walter was very comfortable sitting on the floor, whereas Walternate seemed to be doing that for the first time in his life. He's a superb actor.<br /><br />And I have to say I thought "solipsist" would be one of those words I know but would never need to. Thanks for paying that knowledge of for me, Josie. And for the rest of the review, too, of course.Gus Brunettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15554920460249324531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-38627336384057612192012-04-29T08:03:52.859-04:002012-04-29T08:03:52.859-04:00I had to rewatch the end of this one, because I wa...I had to rewatch the end of this one, because I was so tired on Friday that I kept nodding off. I basically missed that climactic scene between the Walters the first time!<br /><br />The final sequence was much more affecting the second time through, and I found myself feeling incredibly sad when it was done. I've always had tremendous interest in/affection for the Over There versions of our characters, so losing this universe for good would definitely leave an "Over There-shaped hole" in my <i>Fringe</i> world. But I can't even entertain the thought of permanently losing Lincoln Lee, so I'm choosing to believe this isn't the last we've seen of that side. I'm also on board with the "Jones's plan isn't quite what it appears to be" theory.<br /><br />John Noble and Anna Torv are so good. I almost started crying when the machine finished overloading and Walter immediately looked to see if Peter was still there, then gently walked over to touch him and reassure himself that he hadn't lost him again.

It was so lovely and sad to see these two groups of doppelgangy people realize how much they have grown to care about each other right before saying goodbye. And I really loved all of the conference room scenes. They must have been a bitch to film.<br /><br />No theory whatsoever about what Jones is up to, but I agree that it probably isn't what Fringe Division thinks it is. <br /><br />Please don't let this be the last we see of Lincoln Lee.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-74730708311563993952012-04-28T22:45:24.900-04:002012-04-28T22:45:24.900-04:00Just a thought, but what if the device Jones gave ...Just a thought, but what if the device Jones gave alt-Broyles wasn't to destroy the bridge but to use it's connections to both universes as the starting point for his plan. The thing even had prongs a bit like a tuning fork (or that could just be my memory).WriterDrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603841062604311418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-89728504616575887242012-04-28T21:42:05.283-04:002012-04-28T21:42:05.283-04:00Juliette, I think it's unlikely the writers sl...Juliette, I think it's unlikely the writers slipped, so it must be significant. I've been trying to make sense of the rules for universes, timelines, etc. on Fringe, but I can never do it. <br /><br />And then I remember Billie's Rule #7: "Never try to apply logic to time travel stories." I think that also applies to alternate-universe stories. <br /><br />And I don't say that to dismiss your ideas (which I think are completely correct) or your reactions, which I more or less agree with.<br /><br />I, too, miss Lincoln Lee. I'm really upset about the idea that they just wrote Seth Gabel out of the show, and I hope they didn't.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-12068799634036542802012-04-28T20:22:25.475-04:002012-04-28T20:22:25.475-04:00I just went through three seasons of Fringe in a w...I just went through three seasons of Fringe in a week or two (and may now be going slightly insane) so I hope you don't mind if I let off steam for a moment!<br /><br />OK, this one thing has been driving me crazy for half the season - Walter's blood type has changed. It was A+ in season 3, now it's O-. Which means we are definitely in a different universe, not just a different timeline, yes? Unless the writers slipped? (but it was a major plot point in season 3, so that would be weird).<br /><br />I was really disappointed when Peter didn't flip back to Original Universe (or whatever) at the end of this episode. I was fine with the new timeline for a while, but I'm not fine with being stuck in it forever. But I have similar issues with JJ Abrams regarding Star Trek, so I may be on to a loser here.<br /><br />I didn't like Henrietta appearing last week at all, I got attached to baby Henry and I want to get back to the original two universes, where he exists.<br /><br />I do love Lincoln Lee though. He is awesome in every way (both versions, though I miss Pretty Boy Lee). Another reason to get back to the original two universes ASAP!Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-46789625644281990202012-04-28T07:45:45.280-04:002012-04-28T07:45:45.280-04:00Wow Josie
Review already out ?! Wow again.
Anoth...Wow Josie<br /><br />Review already out ?! Wow again.<br /><br />Another very strong ep. I prefer NOT to ask myself a myriad of questions, I simply enjoy watching it. We'll see where it leads us.<br /><br />I am confident that the next season will be extraordinary. 13 eps is a good thing : just like orange juice, it will be more concentrated.. (1st half of season 3 and 2nd one of season 4 will be remembered for a LONG time; kudos Fringe writers (and actors)).<br /><br />Yes, another 4.celticmarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018881585193380762noreply@blogger.com
