Fringe 5x01 - "Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11" (Commentary)

Procutus · September 27 2012, 10:22 PM

In the Season 5 premier, Peter and Etta search for Olivia in 2036 as the Fringe Team, released from amber after twenty years, joins the rebellion to halt the Observers' world dominance.

Greetings, Everyone! This is it - 13 episodes and counting, until Fringe comes to a final, and hopefully, satisfying end. I for one think it's going to be entertaining as hell to watch the Bishop Boys do their thing in the future. Will they prevail? Will they find Olivia? Will Belly be back? Did Walter place Jean into amber as well?

These, and hopefully many, many more questions will be answered over the course of the next several months!

I can't wait! It's been a good run, so hopefully it'll be a good ending.

Mr. Adventure · September 28 2012, 05:30 AM

Love the title.

I still don't understand why the observers decided to invade. At any point they could have taken over the planet, or planted themselves to make people do what they want. Why watch for all these years and then invade?

Procutus · September 28 2012, 08:49 AM

^

That's a good question, one that I hope (and assume) will be addressed at some point, if not in this ep. There had to be something very specific about 2015 to make them decide that was the date they were going to come back and make themselves known.

And doesn't that alter the future that they come from? Did all of them come back? Or are the Observers we're seeing just some form of army?

Looking forward to see what tonight's glyphs will reveal.

Four minutes to go!

Hey everyone, I hope y'all are doing well!

I decided to rewatch Letters of Transit today and I noticed a few numerological things. First, the code to get into Massive Dynamic was 092112 (September 21, 2012). Since 9/21/12 was last Friday, I wonder if this was the original, planned start to the season? Second, the code to retrieve Walter's frozen brain parts was 052010 (May 20, 2010). This was the date "Over Here, Part 2" originally aired. Anyway, I love that they do stuff like this!

Quo Vadimus · September 29 2012, 02:00 AM

Here we go! Excited!!!

Quo Vadimus · September 29 2012, 02:01 AM

Interesting, this looks a lot like the recurring dream
Peter had throughout season 4.

Procutus · September 29 2012, 02:03 AM

Hey Quo!

Looks like we're getting the band back together!

Mr. Adventure · September 29 2012, 02:05 AM

I'm discombobulated, I probably should've watched the finale again.

Procutus · September 29 2012, 02:06 AM

The girl playing Etta is incredibly pretty. Glad to see she's joined the cast.

Now if we can just get Henry Ian Cusick back.
