18/01: Goodbye Fringe.. you will be missed.
I am slightly cold... and numb. The two hour series finale of Fringe was a roller coaster of amazing, of chasing, and of goodbyes. I am not certain how I over all feel, but I am exhausted. Five years and five seasons of one hell of a show.
Sure at the start all I thought was "scoobie doo meets xfiles", but after a few episodes the arch took off and I would have never told you this ending was expected.
The science, the mysteries, stellar parallel dimensions, and amazing acting. Bravo to John Noble for such a range of dottering old man to embittered and cold Walternate.
Tonight we saw a culmination of past Fringe cases being used not against us but for us. I start to wonder if the original twelve observers were not testing on us but arming us.
This and the shifting importance of 'the boy' - a warning of not Peter but of Michael. Michael.. oh Michael.. a not so subtle biblical reference, but it worked well.
As it was Walter appeared to be the Omega of all things, but now I doubt if he was the alpha. Sure snatching up the Peter from over there perpetrated the cascading fringe events that led to both sides to meeting, but were not those caused by the Observers? Well.. event wise I guess that maybe true, but Walter pulling Peter over to this side sparked the feelings that changed September and brought about this conclusion. So okay.. I talked myself out of it - Walter's love for his son was the alpha and the omega of this entire series..
.. and the ending a simple replay of Olivia, Peter, and Etta in the field.. a scene shown over and over again, but this time Etta completes the run (instead of getting lost in the observer invasion) to Peter and they twirl in the field. Thus it appears Walter and Michael completed their part in the future.
A small bit afterwards shows the missing white tulip drawing is mailed to Peter, from Walter, but it is unclear if Peter is cognizant of the future years of toil spent from the observer invasion to the end... and now I wonder about odd small events in my world and wonder if they are anachronistic left overs.
It's been an hour of puzzling over this and review old episode plots. I think it is time to put this aside and go to the gym.
So long Fringe and thank for all the fish!
