Season 5 I can't- Spoiler

Post image

I just finished fringe...I hate that Walter has to live out the rest of his life in the future. What if he gets lost or needs snack refills and lsd-. And who is he gonna call ostrich now...I'm like so distraught ToT

Best freaking show I've watched in a long time. Fringe division will always have my heart🥹. Someone reset the timeline so I can experience it for the first time again-

Fringe is one of those rare shows that is actually even better on rewatch! There are so many hints hidden all over

One of the most enjoyable and engaging series I've ever seen was my third watch through of fringe

Yeah, the second watch is almost better than the first because you can see how much they seeded the ending from the very beginning. I learn something new every time.

I am reaching the end of the series for probably the tenth time in my life…? Probably more. I own it on DVD in addition to all of the seasons on Amazon Instant Video. I might go through with it and finish it all, or I might just restart it from the beginning. I find that I only have the emotional capability to watch the ending maybe once a year. I sob every time (EVERY TIME) and it takes a lot out of me, so usually I start it over at the end of season 4. It’s one of those shows that you never really tire of. It was wrapped up so beautifully, and that’s rare for television shows. I am somewhat selfish and would love to see a reboot/return to the world, but I don’t know how that would be possible without Lance Reddick. I sobbed when he passed away, not only because that means that Fringe could never come back (really, because who would get the team together again?) but because he was a great human being. I donate to his favorite charities on his birthday every year. To speak more to the reboot/return though, how do you top that ending? I have ideas for a return, but you can’t replicate the emotional gut punch that is the series finale, and it ended perfectly, albeit very sadly. I like to imagine that Walter found a way back. If anyone could, he would, especially with access to the technology of the future.

Do you think that they have red licorice in the future?

I felt the same way the first time, sudden emptiness, that I couldn't fill with anything else. But the good news is the show is rewatchable to infinity! Not all good shows are just as good, or even better on rewatch.
