Fringe: "The Last Sam Weiss" - 4/29 on FOX - Grading & Discussion

[Checkmate]

Yeah, never having read anything about what anyone said, I didn't understand why people were assuming it was the future Peter jumped to rather than another universe (this one simply being ten years ahead chronologically rather than technologically). I mean, why would there be only two universes to begin with?

But the machine showing him "what could be" if he doesn't fix the problem is certainly a possibility There has to be a reason why they spent so much time early on showing us that the two worlds were combining into one. Nature seems to be cramming them together, not erasing one for the other. So this could just be the "war of the worlds" going on around them as the denizens of one world fight against the denizens of the other for whatever reason.

I think that's kind of goofy, but I can't argue that's not the way the show seems to be going.

Maybe it's the future in our universe, the alternate universe has been destroyed, but personnel from Fringe Division managed to escape to our side (including Walternate.)

Watch the preview, I think Walternate is a fake when in the chair.

Maybe so, but the preview says it's the future (some seem to doubt that) and Walternate(?) says you 'destroyed my world, now I'm going to destroy yours.' I still think, because of the Freedom Tower, that it's our universe and some kind of crossover (maybe just people) has happened.

I still think he is like half crossed over or something. It looks like Petter will hit him and can't, but they cut it out before that.

Also Walter looks great being that he would be 80 in 2026.

I can't wait to find out. At first I was luke warm toward Fringe, seeing it as an X-Files ripoff. But know I love it, especially the whole alternate universe story arc, which has helped it to come into its own.

I'm not entirely pleased that Abrams has pulled the ol' "let's jump forward a few years" trick again. It didn't work very well in Alias. We'll see.

Does he even have anythnig to do with the show naymore?

Abrams comes around, starts a TV show and then ditches it shortly after. I have this feeling that is what he did with Fringe. Not that I'm complaining, he's over rated.

^ Surely the jump to the future won't be permanent? Just a temporary visit like those future visits Heroes did occasionally, then we'll get back to the present and try to avoid the future that Peter witnesses.

I don't think he does, at least I haven't heard his name mentioned in relation to the show in a while. I think Jeff Pinkner is in charge, or at least he's the one who does all of the interviews with TV Guide and the like.
