I was afraid of that. Everyone else went with re-runs. I'm sure that was factored into the equation, but it doesn't make me happy.

I'm just enjoying the these episodes as if there the last. If they happen to not be, great, but I won't be too disappointed if this is the end.

Ratings are in. Down to a 1.3. Yikes. But it was against NCAA basketball.

Son of a bitch!!!!

That's not good one bit. Fox won't give a shit that it went up against NCAA. Fringe is as good as gone. :(

I wouldn't doubt a Fox exec would use this as further evidence of Fringe's decline but you'd have to look at all the shows on Friday to determine if it was a trend across the board.

Walter: ...But still, I'd have to milk you.

Bellivia: Well, we could assign Astrid.

At first I was laughing at the Bell/Olivia thing, thinking it was the end of the show. But somehow by the end I sort of dug it. If this is the final season, I hope they finish it well. I'm still not convinced they'll cancel it unless they've got something to replace it with. NBC brought back so low performing shows.

X-Files, how did you do it? Oh yeah, you had dynamite leads with electrifying on screen chemistry.

IMO, if The X-files was airing now it would be in the same hole Fringe is in

There is not a huge audience for these show anymore and networks still want the high numbers these style of shows drew in the late 90s / early 00s

Theres also a lot more competition for viewership nowadays. But who knows what would have happened.

Did anyone else find Bell-ivia offering Peter tea at the end of the episode suspicious? I was thinking he might be making a move to inhabit his body in order to use the machine for some, as yet unrevealed, purpose.

Possibly. Perhaps the bells ringing was Bell trying to take over Peter and it didn't work.

I was thinking, "Don't drink the tea Peter." Not sure if anything was up, but figured after what they just found out drinking the tea wouldn't be a good idea.

Didnt like this one as much. The scenes with the new guy(alternate-whatshisname) were great though.

What I thought. I wasn't a big fan of the episode but liked the alternate FBI officer. I was hoping that Bell would jump into the "indestructible" girls body created SUPER BELL. Indestructible with unparalleled intellect!

Now that i think about it, You and spotless could be on to something. I mean after the bells struck, he went out of Olivias body and then back in, Maybe trying to switch bodies but unable to do it.

I will agree that the episode seemed thrown together, but the Bell/Walter scenes were fantastic in my opinion. Just great.

It was hard to watch for me. I couldnt really experience it for what it was. All I saw was an actress trying to act like a character who's possessed by a past character that was a man. I could get pass that feeling. Didnt feel natural at all. Forced and awkward. God awful.

I liked the smaller little quick tidbits with her and Astrid though. But when the scene went on long and she was required to talk a lot, I got sucked right back out of it and saw an actress just doing her best and failing horribly.

Don't worry, if it's cancelled Netflix will buy it out for a final season or two.

Oh man this would be awesome. And I realized yesterday that Netflix might change it up even more: what if "House of Cards" is just released all at once, the entire season? Or what if it follows a "when an ep is finished, it's posted" schedule? Could be crazy.

Well I watched a few eps when it first started and I wasn't impressed. It wasn't until I caught the last few eps on Hulu that I got hooked with the alternate universe stuff.

I watched the first 3 or 4 episodes, and then the Season 2 finale. I really don't feel like I've missed that much.

(Though I was occasionally reading episode summaries on io9 and stuff for some of the second season, so I wasn't totally in the dark.)

If you're saying you watched the first 3 or 4 of season 2 and then stopped, you missed Jacksonville, Peter, White Tulip, The Man From The Other Side, and Northwest Passage. Otherwise known as some of the best episodes of the show. In fact, White Tulip was one of my favorite episodes of ALL of TV in 2010, and many critics said the same.
I'm hoping it's not this bad, but if you're saying you only watched the beginning of season 1, then you really missed a lot of greatness.

I'm cool with people not watching all of the show; extremely casual tv fans exist and that's fine. But not watching parts of a show, or any piece of media for that matter, and still claiming you didn't miss much is factually wrong. Knowing plot bullet points != taking in the show.
