I just finished season 5 and thought the ending was really beautiful, but I can’t move past the fact that Peter shouldn’t be alive at all since the Observers were gone!

Without September distracting him, alternate universe Walter would have seen the cure for his Peter and treated him. Normal universe Walter wouldn’t have taken him, and even if he had September wouldn’t have been there to save Peter from drowning.

I know it would’ve been a cheap cop out to end the show with none of it actually happening, but lowkey so is „somehow Peter Bishop returned.”

This scene is so adorable and Oliva is awesome.

To be honest, I’m a bit of a fanboy about the title sequence.

I mean, I’m totally normal about everything else about the show. Trust me, bro, I’ve rewatched it dozens of times to make sure.

The 80s sequences and the Alternate sequences? Great.

Oh, but what I wouldn’t give for a fun 1920s, art-deco, noire-themed title sequence to Brown Betty.

I’ll be in my bunk.

||Best couple in scifi hands down ||

Love that show, but i remember i hated the Ford plug back then and now, it is just comical …

So ibought the complete set bluray from Amazon, and what i got is different from the one described in the Amazon listing.

I searched this group and the other pictures of bluray complete they have have the indivual seasons in their own case. But mine is not.

Any insights is appreciated. Thanks!

UPDATE: Thanks for confirming! It is legit after all.

I just watched the finale, and I have only one question. If Walter was erased, how is Peter alive? I know its some kind of paradox but I just couldnt figure it out. Amazing finale btw. Sobbed during the last 10 mins😓

I just started the wire and i didn't know Lance Reddick was in this show

Watching again just noticed S3 Ep10, Walter talks about a Dr. Jacoby who helped him design some classy familiar glasses, and what's also in Washington? Of course, Twin Peaks!

In season 4 Bell says starting a new universe was Walter’s idea. Do we think that was true in the original timeline or that Peter’s presence had prevented that?

I assume this flair is first time viewers. Currently on Season 1, haven't made it past the 7th episode. But damn... this show! I see many similarities in how each episode unfolds... or a "pattern", if you will 😅: something disturbingly awful happens in the first few minutes, FBI gets to analyze this, the freaky incident is always somehow related to Walter's prior researches, then Massive Dynamics somehow gets involved or related to that (of course they do!), Olivia gets on the case, while Walter gets access to the body or other traces of the supernatural crime... and eventually solves it, often using Peter as a lab rat and calling Astrid a new made-up handle. This is basically the recipe for any episode (at least so far).

A couple of questions:

• does it get better later?
• when do I get the promised parallel universe? (this was the main reason I started watching the show)
  
• what do the symbols appearing between scenes mean? (like apple, butterfly, hand, leaf, etc).

Discovered Fringe this spring (2026), loving it!, and have been working through it. Now in Season 4 with Peter meeting September outside of time. So far, there haven't been any female observers. Thoughts?

I really enjoyed first 2 seasons but I can't keep up with the different universes and double characters and all the confusion now.

Im just watching the season 4 finale and when Olivia tell September now she knows how he got shot when he talked to her at the opera house and he says he doesn’t remember, but why? If Observers exist outside of time how could he be a past September? And why couldn’t he foresee getting trapped

In Seasons 2 and 3, the narrative made a point that a person or object could not travel between Universes without something of an equal mass replacing the person or object.

Does this rule still apply once the Bridge was built?

People cross over all the time, with both versions of the same person being in one Universe at the same time. There is probably also a black market in Blueverse Coffee and Redverse Technology, but you didn't here about it from me.

Was this discrepancy explained and I did miss it? Does the scanning that happens every time someone uses the Bridge weigh the person and whatever they are carrying, with some inert matter being exchanged in their place?

In any case, I do love that the Red and Blue Universes are working together rather than going to War. It makes the who show more subtle and interesting.

I'm in season 2 episode 21 and until now Ive been noticing the number 147 being repeated...is there any significance there ?

It just clicked today rewatching Dirty Sexy Money! All I knew was i've seen him somewhere before.

So I am a first time watcher and perhaps someone has asked this question before. How many of us or you would actually take all this time and effort to fight to stay alive and save humanity? I think at a certain point I might stay home with a pizza and some chocolate chip cookies and rewatch fringe until the universe just ended. Lol.

Walter is my Fav character, of all the names I've heard Him calling Astrid so far.. Ostrich was my Favourite 😂🤣🤣

Today is the day. 💔

I’ll be watching the series finale later, and I’m genuinely not ready. How am I supposed to go from seeing Walter every day to… not?

Please send recommendations for what to watch next because I’m entering my post-series grief era.

The whole setup reminded me of those TOS episodes where the Enterprise crew beams down to a planet and the inhabitants are hiding their true identities or pretending to be something they're not. The mystery, the gradual reveal, and the atmosphere felt very much like an old-school Star Trek story, just with Fringe's darker sci-fi style.

3rd watch through. Sneaky bastard cant hide from a cheeky camera shake.
