The ratings are holding. Perhaps we can relax a lil bit. How about some good pictures of Anna to celebrate a bit. (The others were maybe a lil NSFW to post)

I would rather see Walter best Walternate without a serum.

This is the only way. Do you people not remember in Season 2, when the parts of his brain were put back in briefly? Old Walter was back for like 30 seconds and he was straight evil. I thought he was the Steward of Gondor for a second. I remember watching it and thinking oh shit, that Walter is not one to F with. Thinking back, he was VERY much like Walternate is now.

Good news on those ratings. This is my favorite show and I'm praying for a renewal for a Season 4.

Loved it! At first Peter killing shapeshifters seemed off, but I really like the reasoning behind it, and the symbiotic relationship between universes. The First People stuff is getting really intriguing, and I am starting to get the sense that the endgame of the show might now be our universe vs the other side, but the need for both the co-operate to survive a much bigger threat.

LOL at the Fauxlivia fanservice, and the show once again showed why it has the best effects on television - the shapeshifting scene and the finger chop were both deliciously painful to watch. Did anyone else notice that for some reason during the scene where Olivia and Broyles are talking ("we have a mole") that the shots were mirrored?

Oh man can't believe I forgot the finger chop. Bad. Ass. The entire scene with Peter taking down that shifter was gloriously violent.

watched friday's episode, so good. Oh god if this doesn't make it to season four it will be the greatest tragedy known to man.

If the ratings hold at the level they've been at on the first two Friday outings, we should get a season 4 :D

My apologies, but it did say "BIG" and was in spoiler tags. Also,
the showrunners and Nimoy himself were the ones starting the rumors. So, there's that.
Fringe doesn't have enough posters to justify a separate spoiler thread.

I think after this last episode
Bell returning in some form
is pretty obvious, what with the reveal that
he was searching for copies of The First People book
.

Worst episode of the season thus far, but given the quality of Season 3, that means it was merely good.

What was with Broyles's 'Damn!' bit where a car almost hit him? Makes me wonder if there's a timeslip situation similar to Olivia meeting up with William Bell in the Season 1 finale. Watch it again, you can clearly hear her get into an accident, but she shrugs it off and keeps on driving.

Is it just me or does the whole introduction of this "ancient people" seem totally out of the blue? It just seems totally out of character for the rest of the show. Randomly introduced out of nowhere a few episodes back with the also-random introduction of this huge ancient machine they were excavating.

It just seems weird, as if there wasn't enough build-up or context built up around these new plot points.


Does anyone else feel that way?

I mean, the machine was in the 2nd season finale, and ancient people aren't that far out of the realm of possibility. The Observers?

Pretty good episode this week! Amazed the ratings have hed up. I was sure, SURE that Fridays would be the death of Fringe... but that it looking less and less likely, now. Hooray!

As for the episode:

- Walter's Monkey DNA bits were among the stupidest things Fringe has EVER done. And that's saying something.

- I literally said "OHHHHH SHIT!" when Peter chopped off the shape shifter's fingers.

- Cool set they built for the device. Seems expensive. We're probably going to see a lot more of it.

- I've watched every episode, but I guess I must have missed something. They know it's a doomsday device and know a picture of peter inside of it wreathed in flame and ancient text exists but... they decided to build it anyway? When did that happen?

- Likewise, I must have missed something about the relationship of Massive Dynamic and the government. So... MD built the device, but all kinds of CIA, FBI specialists have been called in to examine it? The govt doesn't care that MD has this thing in their basement? It also seems the govt would never let Peter leave, knowing his involvement.

- No one really seems to give a shit about keeping the existence of MERCURY-FILLED SHAPE-SHIFTERS a secret. Peter shot one in the head in a public place. And this week, all kinds of FBI agents are cleaning up the shapeshifter murder scene. There must be 100s of people that know the secret, at this point.

- "Oh noes Peter is turning evil" story arch is interesting. It could be cool but it could also be truly terrible... we'll see how the writers handle it.

They're just now being fleshed out. We've been wondering about the First People since season two, likewise with the machine. They seem totally in line with the show in my opinion, and so far are the most interesting things about the mythology.

I kinda agree.

I got a bad feeling when they introduced the Peter influenced by the machine plot point. For how much crazy stuff happens, Fringe's overall mythology has actually been compact, grounded, and logical.

It would be a real shame if they ever lost control like Lost did.

Considering the Observers and the fact that pieces of the machine were strewn throughout both universes I don't think so. They have definitely been foreshadowed for a long time.

No. This is the follow-thru of groundwork laid down back in the first season.

Can't say I blame you. She really is hot but not in an unrealistic way like a lot of these actresses are. She has a natural down to earth beauty to her.

Yeah, I noticed this too - I think they focused on that for a bit for a reason. Very interesting - or perhaps I'm just reading too much into it, lol.

Is it weird I dreamed about John Noble last night? Nothing sexual but he appeared, in character, as Walter Bishop as God.

Could have been something else they shot, but had to cut due to time, so it seemed over the top.

Dammit, this show has become my new X-Files. It better get a 4th season. What's funny is it's made me want to re-watch my favorite X-Files episodes. Yeah, I'm one of those geeks that owns the entire series on DVD. Hell, I f'ing recorded everything on my Super-VHS! That was a lot of tapes I sent to the recycle bin.

Will drop pants for Sony.
Finally watched last friday's episode on fringe.com and now i think i understand what the episode Firefly is about.

Fringe maybe-spoiler theory

Walter will have to sacrifice Peter in the machine in order to save both universes. The Observers were preparing Walter to make the ultimate sacrifice when the time comes. The machine is probably going to destroy anyone universe but repair both or unify both into one.

I kind of like the move to Friday's from a personal scheduling thing. I get Chuck on Mondays and Fringe on Fridays. The perfect bookends for me. Now c'mon ratings...stay steady!

Its so hard to watch Olivia so damn insecure :(

Bell's office is awesome, by the way. Degrees from Ivy League schools piled up, Dr. Spock books, and a badass wall safe.

Oh Walter, how I love you. New Hampshire and Punch Buggies :lol

Is this the first episode since the pilot in which Olivia has worn the toque? Anna Torv in a toque <3
