Fringe - Season One


Recommended Posts

I wonder if the newspaper with Obama on frontpage was from the alternate world or was taken from the "real" (this) world when William Bell left a few months back.

I think the paper said something to the fact that Obama is moving into the new Whitehouse which to me means something happened to the Whitehouse in that reality and its been rebuilt.

Did the actually show the tombstone with his name on it or am i blind lol? As all i saw was him going up to a grave but i couldnt see any name on it

I was thinking it would be Walter's wife on the tombstone at first, not Peter. Then towards the end of the show I was thinking about how Peter couldnt remember his coin collection and triggered the thought that Peter was on the tombstone instead. Etiher way, good ending to the 1st season and its a kick ass show.

Was also freaky how the alternate world still had the WTC Towers. Makes me wonder if the white house was hit instead of the WTC. Hmmm, bye bye Bush then?..haha.

Good show!!

I felt the pacing for this finale was way, way off. Not saying I didn't enjoy it, but there were parts were I was literally bored. Did they really need to give Peter a random monologue? It's as if he was so completely useless that they felt the need to give him something to do. Also, the mystery of Walter's disappearance was extremely weak and his time spent was disappointing.

Yeah agreed.

Yes, it said new white house. Ignore all the "no way he would've won" ranting.

I clicked as soon as he mentioned the coins in the car. Two coins and Peter not remembering it. That's why the observer gave him to coin, he knew it would trigger the memory of crossing over to get a new Peter and hiding the "patcher" in theh beach house.

Yes, it said new white house. Ignore all the "no way he would've won" ranting.

But isn't there a reality where he wouldn't have won? When Walter first explained the multiverses to Olivia, didn't he say that every decision has n possible outcomes, and that there is a universe for each outcome (rolling a dice would produce 6 universes with each result, there'd be a universe where you didn't roll the dice as well, etc)

Anyway, if what I state above is true and there is a finite number of multiverses (new ones created at every decision), then how was bandage man opening up the right multiverse where William Bell was? How would you ever find him considering how many multiverses there are?

I just watched it... WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? I"m soooo confused. lol.

So Peter died? or did his alternate self die? Or another theory is when Peter died in 1985 , Walter went to the alternate reality in the past and stole Peter as a child or baby, then raised him in the normal reality? Speaking of 1985.. reminded me of Back to the Future Part III. Where in 1955 Doc sees his tombstone, his future self in the past who died in 1885. But back on topic, when Walter gave the coin to Peter, Peter said that he doesn't remember the coin. But Walter remembers that he did like the coin So perhaps the Peter we see is from an alternate reality? Not to mention Olivia did once ask about Peter past, in a long ago episode. Peter said he doesn't want to discuss his past. There is also another thing. Olivia almost got into a car crash on the way to the hotel. Perhaps her alternate self would've crashed and she'd never reach the hotel? and if she doesn't it chains on to she never taking the elevator down to meet Bell. hmmmmmm...

from ign more things from the paper:

it also has a headline about former President Kennedy addressing the U.N. And for you masters of obscure sports trivia, Len Bias wins the MVP award in a Celtics sweep.

That is clearly the alternate reality. lol. and Stock Markets remain closed?

oh my :|

Through out the season in some episodes there was some sort of "flair" that would appear on the edge of the screen. It happened in the finally when just Olivia cross over to Bell's reality. So was reality switching for her throughout the season and she didn't know it till the end where she was more perceptive about it?

It also appeared in areas without Olivia. The episode when we first saw the Observer is one where it showed up multiple times.

Tend to wonder that if that's a sign the Obeserver is around then.

What I'm thinking is that those events were causing the membrane between the dimensions to weaken, and that somehow caused the light. Note that it was *really* bright when she switched to Bell's reality.

Hopefully they delve more into the source of the light in the next season...

The was the best season end, ever! Totally amazing, I kinda guessed the Peter thing a few episodes before though when they started talking about multiverses. I cant wait for S2.

That Peter had died was (I think) made very clear in that episode where Walter was explaining Peter the circumstances of his accident (I can't recall which episode it was). Walter said something on the lines of "having lost him". But back then I had thought that the Observer was some kind of alien who had brought Peter back to life in exchange of a promise to do something in return when he asks for it. :-P

So is the Observer some person who our-Walter befriend when he crossed over? May be he is watching out for alter-Walter trying to get his son (alter-Peter) back and warning our-Walter when he gets too close to success? That led me thinking, are the Pattern-related events being caused by alter-Walter's experiments?

I saw it last night but didn't mention it, there's no 13th floor access from that elevator, at least not according to the floor indicator in the elevator. By the time she would have reached floor 13 is when the she moved through dimensions.

    • So its a museum of AI prompts? Boring
    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
