65 Upvotes

IMDB Summary: After a plane from Hamburg returns with no survivors, FBI agent Olivia Dunham goes after the only person that might shed some light on the incident - a scientist that has been in a mental hospital for the last 17 years.

NOTE: Please cover all spoiler comments with spoiler tags! There may be first time watchers; don't ruin their acid trip!!!

EDIT: I decided I would do two episodes a week instead of one (it would take two years at this rate to finish the rewatch). So it is every Saturday & Sunday @ 5pm EDT.

So you’ve just watched Season 2 Episode 11 and came looking for answers

774 Upvotes

This episode was originally meant to be aired in season 1, but for some reason was never used. They decided to air it in season 2 instead, which meant it does not fit chronologically in the story as aired.

Hopefully this will help reduce the number of posts we get asking the same question over and over. I am happy to see this sub surge in popularity again, but for such limited number of posts already, the increase of “what is happening with s2e11?” really take a sizable chunk of the subreddit. I will try my best to remove any new repeats of this question as they come, and hope this will be the definitive post regarding it.

What if he got everyone’s name wrong, except for Peter? Like EVERYONE, even Gene. That would’ve been so funny, they could’ve made it into a web series comedy about it or something.

Like the thing with the business cards. Is it made up TV nonsense or are things like that genuinely recommended?

Question box set

10 Upvotes

has anyone gotten bored enough to notice the box set itself.. just the cases of the dvds have little "clues" that seem to go with the lighting of the seasons? this could have been asked already so I do apologize.. also the way Walter's eye flickers sometimes... or how the little "dust particles" even hold meaning. (I also realize this is back when.. people tried to put meaning and symbolism into their work.. because that was how they envisioned it. not rolling over and losing part of your VISION because tv man says it's not necessary to plot progression)

anyways.

as curious as a particle being observed < 3

General Discussion Connection between Observers and Shapeshifters (Must know series ending) Spoiler

14 Upvotes

I have enjoyed some other discussions here lately. I love how active this fandom still is.

Okay, on the topic of Observers, what really was racking through my brain as I was seeing the last season, that never really got addressed but seemed like a logical thought especially with previous developments...is that the shapeshifter tech seems like the oddly primitive form of Observer tech.

When we leave off our crew pre-Season 5, the shapeshifters are already these hybrids. You don't really know the full humanity and full shapeshifting at this point because there has been some evolution even in the show as we have seen them come up again and again.

Then when Peter goes on his anti Observer kick in the last season, it is SO OBVIOUSLY an echo to when he goes on his anti Shapeshifter kick earlier on. The modality, the download and integration of info, even some of the method. It just screamed like there was some sort of connection, that somehow the technology that Walter and Bell developed had made some leaps toward humans making their own shifting technology that ended up in the Observers.

That's where I thought there was some irony with Walter being the one to help Michael and go back to convince scientists...because it seemed to lay the groundwork that he created the possibility of the Observer future and was atoning for it. (another paradox like the machine, but reverse direction somewhat)

They did not really get to explore the thought on the show (yes, yes, we all wish there was more). But what are your thoughts? Do you think that was an intentional parallel? What do you think would have developed regarding that thread if they continued? Do you think it's something that Walter suspects/knows that he just doesn't bring up to the others?

Just love the community's thoughts and analysis. I personally love gushing and contemplating about very good shows...and Fringe is peak ofc.

45 Upvotes

Called Astrid by her actual name but a few years ago I actually counted them all and he says her name 45 times throughout the show. And yes, I’m @angespeed. Even when I google how many times he says it, it comes up with my old username’s comment on how many times he says it. Did you think it was just once or did you ever count them? I went through the episodes and the scripts to make sure I got the right information.

This man ... so wonderful ... what an actor! Walter (as opposed to Walternate) is such an endearing, beautiful character and he makes the whole series worth watching! (Even though the series is worth watching in and of itself!) And, yes, Walternate is good, if only as a foil for Walter.

Season 1 Where can I find decent English subtitles?

I like to watch my shows with subtitles on but each one I tried for this show doesn't work and is delayed. Do you have some website where I can download newer, synced subtitles?

Thank you.

Season 5 Do we know the state of the AU during the events of Season 5? Spoiler

7 Upvotes

Or maybe even pre-S5?

AU being Alternate Universe. Was trying to avoid a spoiler in the title.

Let me just lead with saying that I am rewatching the series right now, currently on S5E2. I don't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure the alternate universe isnt mentioned in season 5

I understand why it happened, but it really bums me out that the bridge to the lternate niverse was severed in S4.

Do we know how they fared with the incursion of The Observers? Did the Observers even bother with the Alternate Universe?

If not.. could it possibly just be business as usual?

On the other hand, if so.. how do we think things went for them?

I dunno how many times I have rewatched. Less times than supernatural and the Xfiles but more times than Bones lol.

But this rewatch much less time has passed between viewing.

As an autist, this is one of my favourite comfort shows and I will probably be watching it forever.

Season 1 Rewatching!

40 Upvotes

Hello! I just saw that the show was on Hulu, so I am rewatching the show for the first time since it aired! It’s been on my “re-watch” list for a while, but it wasn’t streaming anywhere, that I could remember. Has it been on Hulu long? I saw that it was now also on Amazon Prime & PlutoTV!

Peter gives some snarky comment to Olivia right after they meet for the first time (in the show) & I giggle & think, “Don’t talk to your future wife & mother of your child that way!” 🤣

My autistic kid loves everything science, space, science-fiction related and I thought maybe he should go as a fringe character. The more obscure the better. It has to be relatively scary and easy to assemble with little money. TIA

I’ve been meaning to open a convo here for ages and finally did it, but I’m already at Season 4, Episode 17. I’m a bit late, sorry! 😂
In the opening, Lincoln explains the necklace to Olivia. It’s an indigenous symbol that the whole Westworld universe is built around. It was so lovely to see the same symbol here :) They’re both my favourite sci-fi shows ever.

Spoiler! Season 2 Ep. Peter

15 Upvotes

Back in 1985, Walter had decided to save alternate Peter by risking multiuniversal destruction. Everyone he worked with told him it was a bad idea and Nina said that William Bell would also disapprove. Walter disagrees and says that Belly would be cheering him on.

Belly is rarely available throughout the show. Do we think Walter or Nina was right about what he would have thought in the moment about Walter’s actions?
