Huh, wonder why I thought that. Maybe I read a spoiler somewhere. Because as soon as I saw the initial scene of Walter at the cemetery I figured he was at Peter's old grave.
Fringe: "There's More Than One of Everything" 5/12 - Season finale
- Thread starter Aragorn
- Start date
Only if Mark Valley's new show tanks.
Did anyone else see that Len Bias won the MVP? I think he'd be a bit old!
I have a feeling that the Alternate William Bell is probably dead. Just a feeling.
I feel stupid for not catching the alternate universe Peter sooner. When Walter was talking about the coin and Peter said he didn't remember, that was the hammer over the head. But all the stuff about Peter being sick as a child and Walter doing the things he did, that all should've clicked sooner once they revealed what the main premise was way back when.
Very Dark-Tower-ish. Maybe the bald observers are somehow related to King's "Little bald Doctors" from "Insomnia"?
Moreover, the ep was very reminiscent of a seemingly endless serial dream I had about 15 months ago, while I was in a 6-week-long coma. The dream involved lots of dimension hoping to alternate realities, some almost identical to our own, and others so unlike ours as to be completely alien. There were enough similarities between my coma dream and tonite's episode, that I'm a tad freaked out by what I saw.

Basically he says that they used the twin towers as if to say that the alternate reality is better than ours and it offers hope.

It was earlier in the season I assume, but I still missed this somehow.

I thought the whole point of the alternate reality was to show that it was more advanced but suffering because of it. That's why people were escaping to ours and why a war was coming.
If it's such a utopia, why were Bell and Walter so hardcore about creating an army of psychics to defend against them?

I haven't been a huge fan of this show so far, and while the finale was good it certainly didn't blow me away or anything. I think it's ridiculous that the "shocking" season ending cliffhanger is the cameo appearance of Spock as Bell given the fact that we heard his voice a couple episodes earlier. Not to mention it's the same ending as Alias S1. Also Nina Sharp being perfectly fine after her "death" last episode was a cop-out. Peter turning out to be an alternate universe copy abducted as a small child by a grief-stricken Walter was an awesome twist though!
The "camera stall" was particularly amusing. He walks into the room, the camera is fixed on his appointment book careful not to show his face, when finally do see him, he's hidden in deep shadow then steps out to be - the same guy we read was on the show in the opening credits in big letters.
Very good episode though. I was completely caught off guard by the tombstone reveal, less impressed by the Twin Towers shot. But for a show that took awhile to hook me, I am really looking forward to its return. It's been a bit since I can remember a show so unflinchingly embracing sci-fi as far out as teleportation and alternate worlds.
Now that is awesome.
Bush must not have won then... hehehe
Anyways the finale of a show I have seen 25% of was 100 times better than LOST which I saw all of it.
More like Clinton didn't win a second term and the walls between agencies didn't go up.
Abre los ojos.
We're on the same page, as the whole alternate reality concept is one I've long been fascinated with. I kinda like the idea that somewhere, in a parallel universe, is a version of myself that has led a slightly different life and perhaps had more success with it.
Then again, the opposite could be true as well, which make the concept so interesting.
Yeah, I'll be here when the show returns in the fall.
