Just finished. Another great episode. It's even more suspenseful now because knowing how fast the show might have to move, I am completely expecting Peter to die any second. Every instance of danger he's in feels exponentially more intense.

Roscoe actually wasn't in the episode as much as I had hoped, but seeing him affect Walter the way he did was tear-jerking.

Yeah, his guest star appearance has been hyped for months!

I'm surprised that the
death machine
is making it's appearance this soon.

Great episode tonight. Love The Observer.

but ever so delicious
Outstanding.

Although i'm a little disappointed that it seems like
Peter needs to die to correct the balance
.

I hope there's another way.

Been talking and thinking about upcoming events in this show or things that will probably happen...and there are a lot of ways to go wrong. But I'm keeping optimistic because there were a lot of ways to go wrong with The Pattern and with the altverse and with everything else and the show has been wonderful thus far.

I guess I am the only one who thought Altivia was pregnant when The Observer said "It must be hard being a Father" to Peter.

Thinking about it more, it is more obvious he was talking about Walter, but The Observer knowing about a future when Altivia and Peter had a baby was the first thing I though about.

Crazy show is making me crazy!

I thought it could be foreshadowing to something too.

That's the first thing I thought of too, especially with that rumor a page or two ago.

I have not read any spoilered text, and skiped most posts with any articles about the show.... so I was just guessing.

Interesting if they are going some way like that though.

I really enjoyed that. If they are going to go out, they should go out doing it their way. Go deep into the mythology and sci-fi stuff. Guess we'll see if the audience followed it? When do Friday's ratings appear with DVRs accounted for? Monday?

Tomorrow maybe. I check out this site for the ratings: http://www.zap2it.com/tv/ratings/. It looks like last Friday's ratings went up at Noon on Saturday.

God I really hope the audience followed. I don't want to see this kick ass show just killed by Fox like so many other shows moved to Fridays. I really really don't.

Great episode. All the stuff with the Observer was really cool. I wasn't sure what they were up to exactly until the very end. Stuff with Lloyd and Walter was pretty cool too. Hope the ratings were good.

Okay.
rumored storyline that could be considered highly spoiler-y
Altlivia will return in season 3, and Altlivia may be pregnant with Peters child.

New press release:

Now, I'm going to post part of the press release here because it's hilariously vague and applies to about 90% of Fringe: "the discovery of a dead body triggers an intense investigation" :lol
EDIT: whoops, copied this over from another forum that doesn't have discussions as refined and meaningful as the ones here. Ignore the :lol

Oh God, this may actually make since because
the Observer said to Peter "It must be hard being a father."
FUCK!

Do you think the child could operate the machine since he shares half of his chromosomes with Peter?

The linguistics in this show somehow bother me, the intimate conversations are mostly awkward and stifled. Why do they have to say 'thank you', instead of 'thanks'?

It's mostly the Olivia romance angle that makes me Cringe.

Walther looked good in that v-neck near the end!

Since when aren't real intimate conversations awkward? Being intimate is not easy especially when these people have dealt with so many uncomfortable situations.

I think they've dealt with real relationships better than just about any genre show, and most dramas too. Which is not something I expected with how season 1 worked.

Goddamn Atlantic Canada snowstorm dropped 25 centimetres of snow on us and left me stranded at a friend's house for the night, so I didn't get to watch Fringe :(

Will be watching this afternoon, however ;)

Didn't mean to be the buzzkill. The news makes me very happy, but we need to see how it performs there for a bit. And Supernatural is back next week, which was its old timeslot competition last season.

I don't think that Supernatural is a big competition, to be honest. They both are genre shows and they have some crossover, but they're still different types of audiences. And it's Fox vs. the CW.

Fringe will still pull in higher numbers than Supernatural every time. I just wonder if the move to Friday coupled with going back up against Supernatural will erode some of Fringe's or Supernatural's ratings. Last year they were both on Thursday night, but the move to Friday could be quite harsh.

After two more episodes of Fringe on friday, if the ratings stay consistent, I will not be worried anymore.

We'll see. Anything that stabilizes around a 1.7 will almost guarantee renewal.

Just watched last night's episode now. It was amazing. Someone get it a best drama Emmy nomination, please.

This will probably never get a best drama Emmy nomination, sadly. It is in BSG and The Wire territory. It will get strong critical praise for years, have a very strong and loyal following, then ultimately end without many awards to its credit.

Right, yeah. That's most likely the case.

Just to remind people, Fox hasn't had a scripted show on Friday do as well as "The Firefly" since "Ghost" from Dollhouse premiered with a 2.0. The numbers then tumbled the following week to a 1.7 for "The Target," something I don't see happening for Fringe.

Excellent new episode. Didn't expect it to be such a big episode in terms of story development but I guess they're moving pretty quickly at the moment. Don't mind that at all.
