TEN YEARS SINCE FRINGE ENDED

‘An Enemy of Fate‘ was the final episode and aired along with the penultimate episode, ‘Liberty,’ this day in 2013.

The Hollywood Reporter emphasised that this "was the only way Fringe, after five seasons, multiple universes and 100 episodes, could end: a bittersweet footnote to a rollercoaster journey."

Morgan Jeffrey of Digital Spy concluded his article by saying that "the nods to the past are sweet, but what any real Fringe fan wanted from these last episodes was a farewell to the characters we've come to love that feels emotionally satisfying - and on that level, this series finale more than delivers."

Hard for most fans to disagree. Fringe was a triumph in good writing, good sci-fi and terrific acting, and it did what few sci-fi series could do - tell a GREAT, EPIC story with all manner of plot twists and turns, and do it with characters we loved and with so much heart.

Mission accomplished. How lucky we all are to live in this timeline to have experienced such a masterpiece.

If only there was a page on a site somewhere that had the explanation.

Firstly, remember that Peter didn't come from the timeline where season 5 takes place, he comes from the season 1-3 timeline. In the season 4-5 timeline, he dies from his disease but reappeared in the season 4 timeline. (See almost all the season 4 for the how and why.)

The events of the season 5 finale created a third timeline that originates from later in the second timeline. Despite the fact that December tells September that "If your plan is successful, we will cease to exist." The Observers still exist, but they are different from the ones we know and more like Michael (Anomaly XB-6783746). This difference doesn't forbid the existence of the original twelve science team that travelled back in time to observe primitive humanity. So it didn't change the events that occurred in the first timeline, like the recovery/kidnapping of Peter and the crossing of Peter from the first time-line to the second one (and the third one).

Walter hinted that the point where the timelines move apart is the invasion of the Observers.

"Because, Peter, the boy and I, we will become a paradox. Nature abhors a paradox. It has to heal itself. It does so by deleting me and the boy at the moment of the invasion. The boy and I will disappear after 2015." - Walter Bishop, explaining to Peter why he must go in the series finale.

The plan seems to only have prevented the Observers from invading our era without altering the previous history.
