I gave up on the show after a few episodes too. It was like really, really bland X-files. I also didn't like the lead blonde woman. I don't think she ever smiles. Leonard Nimoy barely spikes my interest enough to watch an episode.

So I caught up with the episodes, as it turned out I think there's only been maybe 4 since the mid-season break ended and it came back because of another break since feb.
To the previous poster the lead woman has improved she now only keeps her stoic face on 95% of the time instead of 99% of the time.
I like how every single episode isn't a "Hey Walter invented a device that solves this problem." Instead we see him re-using things he's introduced previously and at times we, the audience, are sitting there going "You know I think his blah blah brain wave reader thingy would be useful here." and then you see him bring it out again.
But obviously the biggest thing was 2 episodes ago the big reveal which if it is true sets the story in a friggin huge premise
BTW the one thing I hate most about this show is I know JJ Abrams isn't involved with Lost day to day, but I assume he watches the show. Characters in Fringe behave way too much like characters in Lost, in that they DO NOT ask a follow-up question or share information between themselves when in ANY kind of real life situation someone would logically ask a damn follow-up question.
Walter invented some type of transporter device and never went further because of side-effects. ZFT uses it on one of their leaders to break him out of prison, he suffers some kind of side-effects from it. Walter himself is talking to his son and I think female helper there umm Astrid or someone else and they believe the sif-effects he was referring to are death.
He tells them something like "Oh die? No he's not going to die. The effects are something unimaginable." Why does nobody then go umm "SO WHAT IS THE FUCKING END RESULT YOU CRAZY OLD SOT?"

Seriously. A inter-dimensionary war against a parallel universe which is technologically superior to own? So a faction of people 'ZTF' realizes that we may destroy ourselves, but we need to improve our technology to be able to fight them off so that's the reason they're experimenting on the population to find ways to fight them. Olivia herself was a test subject as a child for some type of medicine that would affect the brain development of a child and keep their brain activity 'higher' then normal as development continues so she may have some type of extra-sensory abilities.
Walter apparently typed out the manifesto spelling out the war against the other dimension and what we need to do to stop them on his typewriter, or someone else used it and did it or an alternate Walter did it, or Walter in the future did it and somehow sent it back to the past or came from the future to do it.
The CIA has a division which knows some of what's going on, apparently they are familiar with the observer as a child, very much like one was discovered in an abandoned building in a structure that had been sealed for 70 years.
We don't know if Massive Dynamic is fighting on the side of our universe or perhaps a beachfront for the invasion of the other one. Of course all of the Manifesto could be bullshit and it's just some huge ass red herring, in which case then I would probably give up on the show because the X-files did that way too much with their massive plot twists in the mythos of the show itself.
