Fringe 5x11 - "The Boy Must Live" (Discussion, Spoilers)

Olivia's prominence in the show has really changed since the early seasons.

 

So the boy is from 2600ish and is a by product of The Observers. So if the The Observers never invent the boy then how can he go back in time to stop them?

Come on... this is basic time travel issues writers!

 

My wife just had an interesting point.

Is the tech Donald/September referred to 'The Machine'?

 

The writers came out and said that everyone would get their own season in a way. I think they said this season would be Peter's.

 

I know a lot is going on in this episode, but the thing that freaks me out the most is that people in the 2600s actually dress like it's 1950.

 

At least Widmark didn't pull out September's porno magazines...

 

September should've rigged his play to blow up.


Never mind!

 

The next glyph is A.

An almost dancing observer!

 

His implant might've exploded!

 

Except for Astrid.

 

Grand?

Gravel?

Gravy?


That's it, gravy! The key word from 'Conspiracy Theory'.

 

Where is Astrid?

 

It's also strange seeing Cerveris being... Human.

 

With eyebrows.

 

Probably digging out another tape.

 

I just watched that episode on the Science channel.

 

The white tulip!

 

I had almost forgotten that one.

 

A nice touch, that. That was my second favorite Fringe ep ever, right after 'Peter'.

The scene between Walter and September was rather moving. Noble and Cerveris work well together.

 

I was wondering if the white tulip would come back up.
