SEPTEMBER SAVE US!!!

 

[Sawyer]

JJ Abrams/JH Wyman team for new pilot!

Yes, yes, please, YEEEEESSSSS!!!

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

I just got the season 4 box set...

with every box set, this series has the most pathetic gag reels I have ever seen...

just stupid faces being made and lasting less than a minute with a "f**k" thrown in here and there almost in every messed-up scene that's shown...

I don't know about you, but I like to see screwups that happen that are actually funny that they toss into a box set, but this one is just sadly pathetic...

what's the point and why bother?

 

[Sawyer]

Yes, because God help us all if the show doesn't have a decent gag reel....

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

Yes, because God help us all if the show doesn't have a decent gag reel....

well, they DO call it one of the special features...

and honestly, who doesn't like to see funny s**t when people screwup?... it's a nice break and sometimes some good s**t to watch on a box set that you spent a decent amount of change on...

Loving this ad campaign!

 

[Hunter Rider]

Over the last week I watched the remaining 9 episodes of season 3 and all of season 4 in readiness for the final season!

Some great stuff in there, I really liked the Westfield episode and the one with the grafity defying heists as well as the two Astrids meeting ep. I came to the conclusion that it's best not to try and understand everything with the show, just go along for the ride with the team. Basically the more Walter in the epsidoe the better the episode is! t:

6 Things to Know About Fringe's Final Season Premiere
by Natalie Abrams

In one week, Fringe will kick off its fifth and final season in what can only be called a fast-paced sprint to the finish line.

Set in 2036, the final season follows the just-reunited Fringe Division as they attempt to rid the world of Observers, who enslaved humanity in 2016. Will Walter (John Noble) & Co. be able to succeed?

We've just screened the season premiere, which will make you laugh and cry. It picks up shortly after last season's 19th episode left off, with Walter, Peter (Joshua Jackson) and Astrid (Jasika Nicole) being freed from amber by Etta (Georgina Haig), the daughter of Olivia (Anna Torv) and Peter. Before the series returns Friday, Sept. 28, here are the six things to know:

1. Where's Olivia? The good news is that she's still alive. The bad news is that someone very familiar has, ahem, acquired her. Still, what she has in her possession is what's of real importance, and it involves Walter's plan to take down the Observers, which is far from coming to fruition in the premiere.

2. Time to take charge: We'll see right away how and why the Observers destroyed our planet (hint: they kind of had to), and if there's anything our team can do about reversing its effects. While the Fringe team attempts to take them down in secret, their presence will be discovered pretty quickly, forcing them to go head-to-head with the bald-headed bastards.

3. Wedded bliss: There's a reason you see Peter and Olivia wearing wedding rings in flashbacks, but not in the future. That's all we'll say.

4. Bloodied Walter: The promos don't lie, Walter will be in deep trouble when the series returns — and it's painful to watch. Remember how Walter's brain wasn't all together when he was freed from the amber last season? There's a reason for that and it will drive one Observer to take drastic actions. Suffice it to say, this song will have new meaning for you now.

5. Family reunion: Olivia and Etta's reunion will be sorrowfully sweet and sad at the same time, though that's not to say that won't change down the line.

6. Cuisine: Ever heard of egg sticks? No? You will!

Fringe returns Friday, Sept. 28 at 9/8c on Fox.

Dat gif.

 

[Travesty]

I saw that this was on Amazon Prime, so I just started watching it about 2 weeks ago for the first time. Season 1 felt a little too lighthearted and jokey, but after season 2, the show really picked up. I'm half way through season3, and I'll watch the rest of 4 by next week. Good show, and hopefully I'll be caught up in a few weeks to start talking about season 5 that's about to start.

I like how they've aged Broyles and Nina in those photos. Not as drastic as in "Letters of Transit".

TV Line:

Fall Preview: Fringe Swan Song 'Is About Family, Emotion'… and Things That May Blow Your Mind

With Fringe being Fringe – that is, a sci-fi drama that has proven over and over again that everything is possible — showrunner J.H. Wyman has at his disposal, entering the final season, any number of super-cool storytelling devices in his toolbox.

Yet what he most wants to play with is the characters’ — and thus viewers’ — emotions, as the Fox series unspools its last13 episodes.

“I realized this is not a season for tricks and multiple universes, new introductions of things,” Wyman tells TVLine. “So I had to do some soul-searching and say, ‘What would I like? What would I want, demand, if I had invested four years in this show?’”

After asking himself those critical questions, Wyman came away with two final-season resolutions.

“One thing I was adamant about was getting inside the emotion of the characters that everybody has grown to know over four years, and really pay that off in a big way,” he attests. “[This season] is about questions, about emotion, about family…. I want to put the viewer down on ground level with our characters, so they can go through this final experience with them.”

That said, Fringe is by no means going cold turkey with the far-out. Instead, you should count on quality over quantity. “I want to see the stuff that really freaks us out… all that Fringe-y stuff that’s inherently our show,” Wyman clarifies. “And some of the things may really blow your mind because now we’re in the future, and things are all that much cooler. You can really let your imagination go.”

Second on Wyman’s “must” list: After the very final entry in what he calls a “13-hour feature film saga” has hit the airwaves, “I want to get into my car the next day, drive off and feel like, ‘Hmm, I can imagine where these characters are today. I can imagine what they’re doing.’ That was really important, because I can’t accept closure that doesn’t have some form of hope. That’s just who I am.”

Even the glimmer of hope, though, is 13 long hours away. As Season 5 starts up this Friday at 9/8c, viewers will lay witness to a most idyllic setting: Peter and his wife Olivia (played by Joshua Jackson and Anna Torv), several years into the future, beaming as their young daughter Henrietta frolics in a park.

But then the Observers came.

“That moment in time would definitely be an earmark to where things started to go off the rails,” Wyman says. “They had their daughter taken from then, inadvertently, but she’s gone.” And though we know, from last season’s Episode 19, “Letters of Transit,” that Etta eventually emerged unscathed and even grew up to be a fine Fringe agent herself, her parents’ union was dealt a blow. “Most couples, when they lose a child, unfortunately don’t make it through that,” Wyman notes. “So, what happened to Peter and Olivia?”

Rather than rely too heavily on flashbacks to answer questions about the time between Henrietta’s abduction and when Peter, Walter (John Noble) and others got ambered, Wyman says “you’ll see bits,” enough to understand the rift that formed between husband and wife. “I’m keeping the narrative of this as clean as possible.”

Instead, Season 5 is set almost exclusively in the year 2036, picking up soon after the events of “Letters of Transit,” during which Peter reunited with Etta (Georgina Haig) in a powerful, sweet scene that can never be watched too many times on YouTube. There in the future, Peter, Etta, Walter and Astrid (Jasika Nicole) will piece together the puzzle of “Where is Olivia?” – which is but the first step in their great journey towards (hopefully) vanquishing the evil Observers who now lord over Earth.

Why did the chrome-domed, fedora fetishists seize our planet anyway? “That’s the cool thing — they always had an agenda. We just didn’t really understand completely what it was,” Wyman previews. “When you realize that they wrecked their planet and came to use ours…. That’s just who they are. They sort of don’t really consider us to be anything worthy [as an opponent], to be honest.”

To further appreciate what the Observers have in mind, Wyman promises to occasionally eavesdrop on those very strange birds. “I find them fascinating and I know a lot of people do, so I’ve been adamant about helping people understand them, and I think you will,” he says. “You’ll understand what their mentality is like and what it’s like to be an Observer.”

Skimming Wyman’s plan above, one might wonder if the Alt Universe — the other side where we spent so much time during Season 3 and some of Season 4 — will be allowed to sneak in one last encore. The answer would seem to be a regretful no. “It’s so tough, because it’s only 13 episodes… and my biggest fear is to sort of have, like, this daisy chain of cool things,” Wyman explains. “It’s all got to be about something. I want to focus on what’s really going on, on the real drama. What’s the real stuff that makes you care? It’s these people that you’re invested in.”

When all is said and done and the last hour of what Wyman describes as a “three-part finale” airs early in the new year, “Sure, there’ll be some guy in Des Moines going, ‘Hey, you never answered that thing in Episode 3.…’ But that’s OK. I’ll live with that,” Wyman says. “Because all the stuff that’s really, truly important , the emotional things, will be addressed.”

Speaking of the emotional, Wyman gets that way as he reflects on these, the final months ahead of him. (Shortly after Thanksgiving, he will fly to Vancouver to direct the series’ final episode.)

“It’s hard, because at the same time that you feel, ‘OK, a script is finished and that’s an accomplishment,’ you also feel like, ‘Oh my gosh, another script is finished and we’re closer to the end,” he shares. “Everybody involved with the program, we are so in love with these characters, [and] it’s getting harder and harder because you realize, ‘Wow, these are really beautiful characters and they’ve all grown so much.’ And what they’re going through in this last season is profound. So it’s bittersweet that way."

Tomorrow, mother****ers!!!

Tomorrow, mother****ers!!!

Yeah Mother****er!!!t:

As much as I'm going to enjoy the **** out of the last few episodes, that preview made me kinda sad. We don't get to know how the other side ended up? The other side that's been the driving force behind most of what happened the past 4 years, went out with barely a whimper and none of the fanfare in which it was introduced

 

[ravn0s]

not sure if this has been posted before.

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Thoughts on this episode:

Spoiler

-One of the things that I didn't like about last season was that everything that I had come to care about in season 3 was done away with Peter being erased from existence. With this season, it's bringing that all back-to-basics by putting all the characters we know and love in a terribly compromising situation. I actually cared for what happened to whom.

-Seems like they're utilizing the lower budget they received for this season to they're advantage. Considering that the Observers have overrun the entire world, it would make sense the slum areas which our main characters are holed up in would be more rundown and low-tech, compared to the more high-tech parts in the city. Therefore, you wouldn't need as much CG for those scenes. Smart.

-Nice cameo by Library Guy.

-I loved the little moment between Etta and Walter, especially when she kissed him on the cheek and he sheepishly smiled. It was like a young little granddaughter kissing her grandfather. Such a great moment. I hope we more like that. t:

-The Bishop family reuinion. I won't lie, I teared up a little when Olivia hugged her little girl. Despite the closeness in the actresses' ages, Anna Torv had such a maternal quality to her, almost like there was this older woman in this young woman's body. That's some damn good acting right there.

-Any parts between Walter and the Observer were so hard to watch. Such excellent acting by John Noble, and with hardly any dialogue. Poor Walter.

-Walter seeing Olivia again after his torture by the Observer.

-Loved the little scene with Walter listening to the CD mix on the broken down car. (What song was that?) Despite the bleak situation, for that moment, it seemed like everything was going to be alright.

-In the preview, looks like sweet little Etta isn't so sweet after all. I remember reading in an interview that the loving father/daughter relationship was going to start coming apart pretty soon. Looks like we're going to see the beginnings of that next episode.

This is already shaping up to be one of my favorite seasons since 2 and 3. Can't wait to see how everything progresses.
