Good standalone episode, you get a glimpse of how much Olivia cares for Peter :) I wonder if Astrid will dig out the story about Peter from Walter.

I'd say they needed you in the solution Radish ;). hahaha..

William vs Walter!

It?s the showdown we?ve been waiting for.

Fringe?s second-season finale this spring will feature a long-awaited confrontation between weird science partners-turned-frenemies William Bell (Leonard Nimoy) and Walter Bishop (John Noble).

?William and Walter will finally face off in the finale,? confirms consulting producer Akiva Goldsman, who is directing the two-part episode (written by exec producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman). ?These [characters] have so much that they?re bringing to bear. And Leonard and John are two fantastic actors.?

The William/Walter reunion is just one of several mythology-related payoffs Fringe has in store in this season?s final episodes. ?We?re going to be looking very closely into Peter?s [Joshua Jackson] identity, Walter?s choices in the past, and Walter?s choices in the future,? reveals Goldsman. ?And by the end of the season, we?re all going over to the other side.

?We?re trying to do the last two episodes as a singular event, a little bit more movie-like,? elaborates the acclaimed auteur, who won an Oscar for his adaptation of A Beautiful Mind. ?It?s really one big story. We?re approaching it like a mini-feature. It?ll have a singular narrative drive.?

But will it have any closure should, heaven forbid, the episode turn out to be a series finale? ?Good stories typically have sufficient closure, but also have the promise of continuing ? even if you?re not watching them continue,? he says. ?So, short of killing somebody ? which we?re not doing ? we?re just treating it like the end of a movement, not the end of a symphony.?

Question: When are we going to get some background info about Peter on Fringe? We know he is from the alt universe, but other than that we know very little about him. ?Emily

Ausiello: I have a hunch we?ll learn more in the April 1 episode, titled ?Peter.? ?It?s a window into the mysteries of Peter that have been promised since the first season,? explains consulting producer Akiva Goldsman. ?It?s an episode that?s fundamentally about his relationship to Walter and the truth of where they are right now, which is pretty revelatory to the characters and hopefully the audience.? Will he finally find out that he?s from ?over there?? ?By the end of [the Feb. 4 episode] and into [the April 1 episode] questions about Peter?s identity and mortality go a long way towards being answered.?

Question: When are we going see some development in the Peter/Olivia relationship on Fringe? ?Serena

Ausiello: ?The romantic elements of their relationship will come forward pretty soon,? teases Akiva Goldsman. ?Like any courtship, it wanes, and then it comes back again. So that?s going to make another move forward [on Feb. 4], and then we?ll keep addressing it throughout the season.?

Question: I want to know if they?re ever going to use Special Agent Amy Jessup again on Fringe. I thought she was going to be Charlie?s replacement, then she just disappeared. ?Emma

Ausiello: Responds Akiva Goldsman: ?You have not seen the last of Agent Jessup.? And what about Charlie? ?I plead the Fifth on that one.?

I saw the Observer! He passed by the diner window just before the second attack! Huzzah!

Another filler episode, but it was pretty good episode, and it's quite obvious that the seahorse was there for a reason beyond being Walter's father signature, as it appears in the opening credits.

I really hope want this show to be great, but the build up of the other dimension people has been touched on, what, 4 out of 14 episodes? I know the next episode will finally get back to the main storyline, but I can't see this show being successful for six, five or even four seasons if they keep throwing episodes in that have no relation to what brought the show into existence.

Well, I'm a new viewer with this season, so I guess I'm just use to the "filler" episodes.

This episode was OK, but I have a little problem with *why* the FBI, and especially the Fringe division, became involved so quickly.

I did wonder that myself

This was not a filler episode. It provided Backstory to Walters charecter.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
