What if, and I mean what if, the ratings for the 5th season get increasingly better (for whatever reason)?

What if, and I mean what if, the ratings for the 5th season get increasingly better (for whatever reason)?

Considering season 5 is meant to end the series and wrap things up they need to end it there. Getting a 6th season would force them to retcon season 5's resolution.

They could do what they did for Supernatural and start a new arc. The Supernatural writers almost pulled it off, so I think the Fringe writers would have little problem doing so.

Or how about a spin-off?

The Mis-Adventures of Walter and Astro Asteroid Astrid!!!

I want this show to have a definite end date like Lost had. It makes it easier when the writers know how many episodes they have left to wrap up the story. It gives them direction, and something to work towards. Shows rarely benefit from going on and on. Fringe has been good, and I want it to go out strong. Not die a protracted or sudden death. We got what we wanted: a shortened fifth season to end the show properly. Let's count our blessings and watch this show go out with a bang.

Things seem to be leading up to the future in Episode 19. Will this Season end with them ambering themselves ?

 

[Spider-Nerd]

I really hope tonight's episode isn't the end of lincoln and the alternate universe. Lincoln quickly became my favorite character on the show and I found myself liking fauxlivia more than oliva. Even walternate became endearing in the end.

 

[Gold Samurai]

This episode just felt like what it was.

It was just made to write out the alternate universe plots and now focus on the future timeline plot(for 13 episodes)


I think it was written incase the series wasn't picked for season 5 and tying up loose ends.

 

[DrDoom]

DAMN ALT-LIVIA WAS SO HOT IN THIS EPISODE LOL

THINK DRJ KNOWS ABOUT THE OBSERVERS AND WANTED TO MAKE A NEW UNIVERSE WITH HIS EVOLVED RACE TO DEFEND AGAINST THEM?

-DOOM

 

[Sawyer]

I just can't see that being it for the other side. For this season, maybe. But I can't see them not following up on those guys now that they've got a chance to craft a true ending to the story.

I hope we meet with them again in 2036. Can you imagine? A grizzled badass Lincoln Lee with a beard, married to the super-hot (even if she's closing in on 60) Bolivia, and the withered old crone Walternate saying the kind of crazy **** that our Walter usually says.

 

[DrDoom]

WOULD BE PRETTY IRONIC TO SEE WALTERNATE OLD AND MORE SENILE THAN OUR WALTER LOL

they can still cross universes, its just no longer super easy like walking to a spot wait 2 seconds and bam done.

jones been jumping back and forth for ages, so it possible. I just hope at the end of next season peter jumps back in the machine and recreates the bridge, because i need my alt-olivia fix at least once next season.

Exactly, we were lucky to get a final season, most shows don't get that chance. Five seasons is a very decent run.

If we don't see the alternate universe again this season, I think we probably will next year, TPTB know fans love it.

 

[Donut]

The Observers changing the timeline is probably the only good thing they will ever do. They made The Alternate Universe tolerable & likeable. Especially Walternate

Same here. I sure hope this is not the last we see of them.

 

[ravn0s]

i'm sure last night wasn't the last we've seen of over there. olivia could still cross over using her power.

is there anything stopping them from switching the machine back on after they stop jones?

 

[DrDoom]

THEY NEVER SAID THEY COULDNT TURN IT BACK ON, JUST THAT THERE WAS A CHANCE IT WOULDN'T WORK.

FOR ALL WE KNOW ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS TURN IT BACK ON AFTER THEY CATCH JONES

-DOOM

 

[DyeLorean]

Did you realize how many times per episode there's this exchange?:

-Meaning?
-Meaning that...

or

-Meaning what?
-Meaning that...

or

-Meaning what, Walter?
-Meaning that...

 

[Clu]

hope they do. because the alt verse needs repair.

 

[DrDoom]

I JUST NEED MORE ALT-LIVIA

-DOOM

 

[Sawyer]

I'm guessing that the group in 2036 will be trying to cross over. I wonder what shape the other side will be in by then.

 

[Clu]

i hope next season goes back to the future at some point to see how everyone is doing and finding out that the world healed itself on its own. it would be pretty awesome to have one of the final episodes be alt-olivia looking up to see a rainbow in her universe.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

I do wonder if this season will end with them being ambered and then season 5 picks up in 2036. I kinda doubt that will happen. I do hope that we get to see the future some next season...it was pretty cool

 

[Destructus86]

Wow...what an episode. It was like watching a movie. This show is just amazing.

Fringe | Now that we are for sure getting a fifth (albeit final) season, here’s one face you might see pop up in the show’s forever twisty universe: Robin Williams. TV’s erstwhile Mork, who after a long string of big screen outings has in recent years guested on Law & Order: SVU, Louie and, coming up, Wilfred, says Fox’s sci-fi series is at the top of his list to visit next. “My god, Fringe would be amazing,” he told me at the Comedy Awards, where he was honored as a Stand-Up Icon. (Williams also is high on Homeland, though frankly we can only see his bearded self playing Mandy Patinkin’s twin brother.) In fact, the funny man is game to join a TV series on a full-time basis. “F—in’ A, yeah, I’d do it — if it was fun,” he said.

Want. This. NOW!

 

[wiegeabo]

How about bearded Robin being one of Walter's friends from the asylum who's experiencing Fringey stuff.

Should be lots of good moments with Walter dealing with going back in, and the two of them reminiscing about good and dark times.
