    I think a good sequel in the form of a comic book or novel, would be the story of what happened after Walter and Michael entered the shipping lane, from Walter's perspective.

    Maybe they will meet the Doctor and talk about a fixed point in time.

    We never did find out why Michael got off of that train.

    It's been my pleasure, one I'm definitely going to miss. I've got my DVDs, but it's not the same as watching live and commentating you guys.

    And I certainly will miss trading puns with you, Mr. A!

    I hope we all find another show to talk about in the future.

    I hope so too, but there'll never be one quite like Fringe.

    I'll miss your translations, O Lady of the Glyphs!

    I'll still be watching the Fringe reruns on the Science channel. Been noticing the connections.

    It was part of the plan. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, and people wonder why I don' enjoy the show as much as before.

    And he'll convince Walter that bowties are cool.


    :lol:

    I know it's a bit cliche, but I am reminded of Tennyson's Ulysses:

    Goodbye Fringe, see you in Valhalla.

    Nor did we find out why the Baldies decided to invade in 2015. Any show will always have some loose ends.

    Lord knows Lost set the record for bringing things up and never properly following up on them.

    Maybe they will become the Doctor's companions and Walter will somehow get Jean and they will all be in the Tardis.

    Definitely Lost. They admitted as much. BSG too and I love that show as well. The producers admitted on a BSG commentary track that "and they have a plan" was added because it sounds cool. BRILLANT! :rolleyes:

    It was mentioned in a previous episode that they picked 2015 because that was the moment in history where they had the highest probability of success (something like 99.9999%.)

    I still want a clearer explanation of why wiping out the Observers didn't alter the timeline at the point where September distracts Walternate - why do the effects ripple forward from 2015 only?

    Heh, a Dr. Who and Fringe crossover starring the good Doctors and Gene the Cow. I'd watch it.

    Jean in the TARDIS... Now that would be a sight.

    We could always call it 'Doctor Moo'.


    :devil:

    They almost answered the 2015 question, the original 12 were set back to look for certain things, and it turns out that 2015 we would have reached a good point to invade.

    Still doesn't make any sense to why bother invading.

    To be fair SyFy wanted the "And they have a plan..." on BSG. That was planned out more than seasons 3 and 4. :lol:
