Usually cancellation talk ends with a show ultimately being cancelled but I hope it stays a rumor/small talk

In "our" universe, Olivia went through the cortexiphan trials. In this universe, she apparently also did so, but was raised by Nina--that's not in "our" universe.

One thing, but major.

Remember, last season we saw a flashback to when Olivia ran away and came back with Peter? What if she didn't came back (without Peter), and Nina found her (they were looking for her after all) and got closer in the process, so she took her under her wing.

Yeah, that can be explained simply by Peter's absence. I'm not saying it's impossible that this universe we're seeing isn't an entirely different one, but that's not the same as evidence that it is. I'm just curious if I've missed some dialogue that strongly implies the "completely different universe that is not a result of Peter being erased by the observers in season 3" stuff.

I can't see anyway Fringe would get a 5th, FOX needs to tell em sooner rather than later.

Not as great as last week, which was great, but pretty good episode.

I wonder what the last scene was all about with Olivia. Poor Lincoln he must think he has been blown off a "maybe" date at the last minute.

Somehow I wish the episodes cases were just of higher importance involving groups of criminals, inter universe rogue organizations, and such. Just stepping off the lone scientist doing something crazy for a love one or something. Last week was the same but it has the time skipped element that affected the whole world and our characters that made it stand out. Even if the couple story was great too.

My favorite episodes for Fringe are like Do shapeshifters dream..., Amber 31422, etc. Because they mix the episode case with the overall plot without being all about the overall plot like Entrada. Even if my favorite episode of season 3 are The Plateau and Subject 13.

At 1.2 I believe they could come back, but now I'm really worried. 4 seasons is a great run but would love to see at least one last season so they could wrap all things up and provide us with one last batch of Fringe episodes.

I'm worried about Fringe. It'll be a miracle if it gets renewed. Fox better inform the producers early enough that it's the final season so they can wrap up the show properly. I'll be pissed if they don't and the show ends with a big incomplete on the show's record.

Somethings that rarely, if not ALMOST NEVER!!!!, happens on TV shows no matter how serialized or episodic they are beside of the very popular shows than ends on their own term due to a creative decision.

Sometimes they do some kind of open ending that allow the last episode to fit as a season finale and series finale at the same time. Anyway you can't end many shows with a nice bow as life always go on. While other shows would need to rush the end too much in a couple of episodes to make sense.

Season finale could serve as series finale

Fringe Bosses Say this Season's Finale Can Work As Series Finale, But Hint at New Home for Saga

Fringe‘s uncertain future was a hot topic Sunday at the Television Critics Association press tour, with both the president of Fox and executive producer J.J. Abrams weighing in on what is and what might need to be.

But when TVLine spoke with EPs Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman earlier this week — after screening the show’s winter premiere (airing Friday, Jan. 13) — they shared their exit plan (or absence of one) should this turn out to be the final season.

“The answer to that question is the same every year,” Pinkner started when asked if and when they’d need a heads up to wrap things up. “Worst case scenario, if this were the last aired season of Fringe — and as we’ve said before, there are other outlets where we could continue our stories, be they graphic novels or webisodes — we know what the end of this season is going to be, and it can function as a series finale.”

I can't say this is a big surprise, really. I just hope that if in fact, this is the final season, what we get at the end is at least a somewhat satisfying ending. Think how horrible it would've been had they ended the show with last year's finale.

But, But, But, They promised us that friday night wasn't a deathslot!!! They promised!!!!

Methinks they lied.

Delusion overshadowed logic?

They ignored/forgot about every SINGLE series that has died on the Friday timeslot.
