*Fringe* the series Official thread

[aturnis]

Like the "Noir" episode. That episode was terrible. Progressed the storyline ZERO and was a waste of time and of an episode.

Another thing I loved was when they did the "Peter" episode, how they had the 80's theme in the beginning and in the last 2 episodes of the season, the Theme was Red instead of Blue.

That was a great touch. They also changed one of the phrases that shows up from "Parallel Universes" to "First People".

First People? Methinks they created the "very old tech" Walternate has Peter examining.

I didn't notice that, cool.

It does seem the alternate universe is more advanced. In the 80s they had current day cell phones.

What I'm wondering is that they said that all of the people quarantined in the Madison Square Garden are legally declared dead, does that mean they are really alive?

The quarantine looks like a big amber crystal that you cant get out of (the on at Harvard).

Also it seemed like if they would have quarantined the Opera House, they would have died (Olivia, Charlie...) so does that mean every quarantine, someone had to sacrifice themselves?

I wonder what kind of format they will have next season.

Some scoops on the upcoming season:

Spoiler!

Question: Seriously, no Fringe scoop last week? Why do I even bother to read this column? —Brett

Ausiello: That’s between you, your therapist, and the lovely people at CVS. If it’s any consolation, I have Fringe scoop this week. Actually, I’ve got a few Fringe scoops. The first one comes courtesy of John Noble, who reveals exactly how Walternate plans to pull Peter’s strings from the alt-universe. “[Walternate] has to ensure that [Peter] continues to work on our side,” says Noble, “and he’ll do that through alt-Olivia.” Okay, I’ll bite: How exactly will Bolivia manipulate Peter? Noble hesitates before whispering, “She seduces him… Did I just say that? Did I just drop a big teaser?” I believe you did, sir!

Question: Does the fact that Fringe is setting every other episode “over there” mean that we’re going to see more of Charlie this season? —Melissa

Ausiello: That’s precisely what that means. Charlie remains active in the alt-world’s Fringe division, so look for him to appear in multiple episodes—beginning with next Thursday’s season premiere.

Nothing I wouldn't have guessed on my own after watching the finale last year.

yeah you can see that coming a mile away.

Premiere was awesome. Red Universe convinced Blue Olivia that she is Red Olivia, which is almost what I thought would happen (Stockholm Syndrome). I heard that the show is going to alternate from Red/Blue/Red/Blue every week, so next week we'll get the Blue Universe.

That sort of sucks though because there is no Josh Jackson in the Red Universe and he's the coolest guy on the show.

[Buck]

Oh, and I watched the last 2 episodes of Season 2 right before I watched the premiere of season 3, and I noticed this map.



It appears that most of California must have fallen off into the ocean.

It also appears that Oklahoma and Kansas morphed into a single state.

[Buck]

I just did a little research and here is a hi-res map



Apparently the flag from the Red Universe only has 48 stars, but there are only 47 states here.

[007]

And Kansahoma is called Midland. Or at least that is what it looks like.

[007]

• Washington is called Southern British Colombia
• California is missing half of the state (perhaps because of the "big one")
• Nevada is called Independent Nevada
• Texas is divided into North and South Texas (+1)
• North and South Dakota are combined into one Dakota (-1)
• Kansas and Oklahoma are combined into one Midland (-1)
• Louisiana is called Louisiana Territory
• Michigan is missing its upper half
• North and South Carolina are combined into one Carolina (-1)
• Virginia and West Virginia are combined into one District of Virginia (-1)

Based on the pluses and minuses, that would give us 47 states, assuming we count Hawaii and Alaska.

One thing that bugged me about this episode was that Walternate seems so desperate to get to the Blue Universe, and he doesn't know how to do so.

What about all those shape shifters they sent over and even him going over to find Peter?

The only thing I could make of that is that it must be quite a strain on the human system and they need people that have the right genetic code to do it. That bugged me too.
