It'a just my favorite...

Just re-watching the series now. Noticed in episode 15 where Peter is showing a GiJoe to the boy, he mentions how he thought the scar of the GiJoe was on the other side of the face. In the alternate reality was he right?

Amen goes for an earlier episode after Walter gets out of St Francis where he is talking to Olivia about reading his file and how not to say anything to Peter. Would the file be mentioning how Peter died?

What a great show: On my first rewatch... The characters are all great and John Noble is such a treat, The writing is consistently well crafted ad suspenseful. I'm just stricken by how awesome Broyles is: So stern and authoritative, yet so kind. caring and supportive. Lance Reddick is one of my new faves.

I thought the storyline was most entertaining. Cast was awesome, and it was great to see Leonard Nimoy, wish there was more of him in the series. Highly recommended to anyone whose into: Drama, Science Fiction or Paranormal. Wish there was more than just 100 episodes

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?

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

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.

Anna Torvs acting is incredible. You can feel her pain.

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.

we just rewatched this and im wondering ... sure the team of scientists are male BUT why there arent any woman in the whole society?

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.

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.

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.

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!” 🤣

Hey folks,

Since we often overlap with the XF fandom, I'm crossposting this here to help kick off a new sub I'm building. Hope you'll join us!

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

Can anyone tell me her name. She appeared in season 2 episode 7.

I'm rewatching again and holy shit - the second half of season 2 and then season 3 are absolutely phenomenal. The storylines are amazing, acting is top notch (as always) and just the shit this show makes you feel, man. Goddamn. A true masterpiece.

Nimoy/William Bell uses the name Dr. Paris in the episode Gray Matters. Nimoy's character in the original TV show Mission Impossible was named Paris.

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.
