Damn it, Peter, why did you just do that?

Peter's just become Johnny Pneumonic.

Are you saying he's an airhead?

Hope he's compatible?

From now on, he'll say his name is 'Just Johnny'.


And yes, I did misspell that, didn't I?

[Samurai8472]

We're getting into "the matrix" territory.

Peter- I know kungfu

[Procutus]

I'm outta here, guys. Gotta get up in about five hours for work.

See you all here next week (and hopefully, our Glyph-Translator as well).

Based on the promo, I'd say that you've got the right actor, but the wrong movie. Looks more like the Matrix, really.

Also, based on the tech chip, I believe that Peter will be understanding the equations.

I thought the observer that caught them was pretty Agent Smithish.

And Walter will be all too willing to take 'the pill'.

What happens if you swallow the blue AND the red pill?

THE FIFTH AND FINAL SEASON OF “FRINGE” CONCLUDES WITH A TWO-HOUR SERIES FINALE, INCLUDING THE 100TH EPISODE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, ON FOX

Climactic Nine-Episode Countdown Continues with an All-New Episode Tonight

As the Fringe team fights for humanity’s future in the fifth and final season, the imaginative journey toward the end of the acclaimed series will culminate in a climactic conclusion during the two-hour final-two-episodes event Friday, Jan. 18 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. This milestone date will also celebrate the series’ 100th episode.

Series Co-Creator and Executive Producer J.J. Abrams reflected on the show’s run: “It has been an absolute honor to have been a part of the weird and wonderful world of FRINGE. I will always owe the cast and crew for pouring their hearts and souls into every dimension of this series. Creating the show with Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman was a joy, but watching it evolve over the years into such an imaginative, insane and heartbreaking ride is nothing less than a thrill. I am grateful to our blessed fans, and to Kevin Reilly and Peter Rice and everyone at the glorious Fox network for allowing FRINGE to reach its bittersweet conclusion.”

Executive producer and showrunner J. H. Wyman said, “Above all else, from the bottom of my heart, I would like to personally thank everyone involved with FRINGE. From the most amazing fans, to our incredible cast, writers and crew, and our wonderful partners at FOX and Warner Bros. – we would not be here without you. It simply cannot be overstated how grateful I am for the ongoing and unconditional support we have received over the past five seasons. It has been both mind-blowing and humbling. I’ve always been a fan of science fiction, and to be able to tell this story about a family – a family that, through everything, fought together for survival – has been a highlight of my career. As we approach the final chapter, I can hardly believe it, and I’m just truly thankful for this unparalleled experience.”

Excellent episode. So the origin story was Peter becoming the first Obsever-kind?

Great interrogation scene as well. Peter was insane to do what he did. I really do hope we get a more pro-active Olivia soon.
