Sci-Fi Fringe Thread - Part 2

[wiegeabo]

Doctor Who couldn't do it. But Fringe...?

RIGHT IN THE FEELS!!!

 

[Maximus One]

About 20 minutes in. They've definitely aged Broyles quite proper

 

[Maximus One]

Nooooo!!!!!

 

[ravn0s]

well that sucks

 

[Dr Lee]

and the point of doing that was.....?

 

[joke]

What the ****?

 

[Siby]

hmmm, these comments are odd. I need to watch the latest episode to put all the comments into context.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Illogical and annoying creative choice, the best thing about this final season concept has been taken out.

 

[Marvolo]

Aggravating? Yes. Illogical? Not at all. This show still has its balls which up until now i thought this season seriously lacked. I dont think this is the last we have seen of her anyways.

 

[Hunter Rider]

That wasn't balls IMO, it was stupidity.

 

[Marvolo]

That wasn't balls IMO, it was stupidity.

Why? Do you know what they have planned, cause I don't. I wouldn't be so quick to judge when you nor I have any clue what is coming. Just because you are upset by a character death doesn't automatically make it stupid.

Personally, I enjoyed it. It made me feel something, and considering this season has so far been a fetch quest and boring me I was glad it finally did something with some weight to it. Watching the observers pop in out and look menacing wasn't cutting it.

 

[Dr Lee]

it should have been Astrid IMHO... still a huge blow to the team and a deeply personal one for Walter... but this felt like a stunt...

Depends where they are going with this. Astrid may not have been enough to accomplish their end goal, and she was killed last season. To do it again would have been a retread. As for it being a stunt, like I said, I don't think this is the last we have seen of her.

 

[DyeLorean]

What a weird season...

 

[flash13]

Why did it have to be [blackout]Etta[/blackout] I haven't been this sad about a TV death in a while

I'm not upset by her death, I really don't care that much about this show, I just think she has been far and away the best thing about this season and gives a purpose to Olivia and Peter that links to where this huge time jump started for them. To remove Etta loses that and that is a mistake IMO regardless of where the story goes, and if they suddenly unkill her then it will be just a cheap trick used to inject some faux emotion is this season that feels cut adrift from the previous 4.

See i dont think they will unkill her. The observers can reanimate and maintain bodies specifically heads. They may study her brain and use her. This season is about the observers and the fringe team attempting to save the world. This is more than just Etta. Her death makes it all the more personal for our team.

It already was, they'd been frozen in amber for 20 years and barely knew their child, the personal stake was rescuing the world and at the end they would be able to make up for lost time with their daughter, get to know her, a personal victory within the bigger victory, instead with 9 eps to go it's revenge for a bittersweet victory, poor choice in my view.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

What a weird decision.

 

[Sawyer]

What's weird about it?

 

[Clu]

can already see the ending......time travel.....observers show up....walters machine takes them down......happy endings all around. I welcome it.

I prefer bittersweet endings to happy smiley endings. I guess im just a bastard like that.

 

[DyeLorean]

Personally, I'd like them to completely finish the storylines they're telling now. BUT, I wouldn't mind some cliffhanger like "yeah, look, it all worked pretty good in here, everything wrapped up pretty nicely... but look what's going on in the alternate universe!.." kind of thing. To keep our minds occupied even after the show is over.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

I suppose they could be doing a reset of the timeline later where the events of "Letters of Transit" and Season 5 never happened. It wouldn't be new ground for the show, just repetitive.

I have no issue with a bittersweet ending, but if you're going for that you kill her in the finale, not 9 eps out.
