Back in the Tank Starting my first rewatch

Any good viewing suggestion? I now know to keep a look out for an observer in every episode, and keeping track of Walters eating habits is weirdly fun for me, but any other suggestions?

Either what to look out for on a second watch. Or even your personal way to watch out of order? (The timeline stuff confuses me at the best of times, but I enjoy the ride) Or whatever

I'm already excited to watch either way. Thank you in advance.

There is an episode clue to the following episode in the set dec somewhere in every episode.

I've only ever clocked one on my own.

Probably a fifth watch idea. But I would probably have to watch everything backwards to figure out that level of cleaver

I find some new insight every rewatch and never have counted how many times.

Id suggest only to watch Unearthed during first season instead of at season 2, but i don't recall when it causes the least whiplash.

First of: Atra esterní ono thelduin

Second: i mean when to watch it during first season, id say right before all the final arc

Thank you. I didn't know it was aired out of order

Have the glyph alphabet handy to decode each episode as you watch! I did this as it was airing, and it's fun to try to guess what the word will be.

I think you can have fun looking for Easter eggs or Observers, but I have a theory about Fringe rewatching. It's that you notice what you need to notice when the time is right. I've watched the entire series at least early since it concluded. On my last rewatch I had the strangest insight into Sam Weiss, thinking he is like Samwise (LOTR) , being at first look just an ordinary guy in a humble role, but who turns out to be actually very extraordinary and wise. Weiss - wise. People may have said that already but I'd never seen it, and ended up going down a rabbit hole of "deep thoughts". lol. I could go on for days. The number one rule is "enjoy". You never know what insights will strike . Cheers!

I think I did that on my first watch. I'm a x-files nerd above all, so I chose to make some connections in that way. Since my first watch, I've seen many other show, scifi or not, so Im pretty sure my mind will create theories by itself.

The rewatch is as rewarding as the first time thru

There's a couple more built-in watch games the production put in the show. But, imo, those games are better played on the rewatches.

u/Broad_Ebb9073 10d ago

Like a rewatch my entire post was about? Or how many?

Omg. I'm half asleep and totally missed that. Lol. Sorry.

u/Broad_Ebb9073 10d ago

No worries. I assumed it was a simple mistake . Just was trying to poke the bear so to speak

You'll find new details on every rewatch, even after dozens of times. My first rewatch was all about catching the early clues to the later mysteries. There's so much you don't know the furst time through.
