Is it because Fringe first aired in September? Or is it some other thing I gotta know?

Way too young... it must have been some sort of accident. "Natural causes" sounds very sus.

I'm doing a Fringe rewatch. In the episode where Altliv crosses over to the prime universe how did she open the portal when she wasn't a Cortexiphan recipient? I thought Olivia was necessary to open the portal then Walter's device and William Bell's sacrifice would hold the door open? It seems like all that was needed was the device and Bell's sacrifice, because Altliv shouldn't be able to jump like Olivia since she wasn't dosed with Cortexiphan. What did I miss?

‘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.

I think it would be nice if there was pages for the individual VSC songs. I would add them myself, but the thing is that the lyrics have never been officially stated.

So both lyrics, and which characters (if any) the song is actually about would be up to interpretation.

So i'm wondering how it should be handled. What do you guys think?

Does any of the episodes take place in Minnesota? I don’t mean as a filming location, but as show location in the shows universe.

Walter Bishop and William Bell are the most intelligent scientist alive. They could explain or create supernatural events with science. They made their labratory as a playground to discover other universes. Walter Bishop then realized that his brain is triggering him to tamper the structure of nature and causing hazardous problems for the future, like the cortexiphan trials. According to Bishop's theory, if he removes the certain parts of his brain, he would stop the cruelty.

As Observers, - highly intelligent specie that was developed by scientists. They also have a brain chip attached to their spinal cords. That brain chip gives them the ability to walk through time, teleport and read minds. The brain chip is the essence, or the source of becoming an observer. The observers, do not feel any emotions or empathy because of the brain chip.

Now, I correlate Walter Bishop's certain parts of his brain to this brain chip. They both blocks emotions and lead you to become a highly intelligent robot. Fear, hatred, love, jealousy, anger, happiness...

What makes us human essentially is empathy, the emotional intelligence. Without our emotions we wouldn't know where to stop. There will be no good or bad, there will only be goals, tasks, missions to complete. We would perceive music as just random rhythms and sounds, meaningless many sounds.

High Intelligence should always prioritize emotions. Without emotions, we have no control mechanism.

Not a complaint but it occurred to me that in Season 2, Northwest Passage... There is no way in a million years that any Sheriff in their right mind would not have called the FBI the moment they discovered a body with brain tissue having been extracted. It would have also raised a flag to the Fringe division before Peter calls Broyles who would have recognized it as a Fringe division case when Peter called him anyway and thus would not have waited so long to tell Olivia where Peter was. Nonetheless, the entire episode had a distinct X-Files feel to it even more so than usual and very fitting then that the direct reference "I think you WANT TO BELIEVE" is found here.

I have watched Fringe many times and I have always wondered how long did Walter know that Olivia was Olive from his FL trials? Have I just missed that bit of information or was that just glanced over? It's always been a plot hole for me!

I am very confused as to what happened to Walter in 2015 when the timeline was reset to The Observers not invading. I understand his 2036 self went to the future with Michael. But there is no explanation of his what happened to him in the new timeline and this really bothers me. He can't be erased because then there would be no Peter. I like that it wasn't all explained because it keeps the mystery of the show going. I understand what the white tulip is, but what is the story in the new timeline of what happened to Walter - does anyone know?
