I just finished watching tonight's Fringe episode and that's the question that is on my mind as of right now. For those of you up to date on what people are calling possibly the last season of Fringe, this season was originally asking the question how does Peter bishop get back home after being "erased" from time in the season three finale. Well if you watched the episode before they're month long hiatus, "The End of All Things," Olivia Denim suddenly remembered everything about Peter as the Observer, September, shows up on his death bed. For someone like me, a writer, I kind of figured that Peter was in the same time line this whole entire season and it just seemed like since he did vanished, all their memories of him did too and the question really was how is he supposed to make them remember him. But he was so quick to give up on that idea and started believing that he must be in a different timeline. Yeah, I guess that makes sense but then again it doesn’t. It makes sense because like he said, there are two universes so why wouldn’t there be different timelines? But in my opinion adding two timelines to a show that already had two universes would just make it messy and Fox probably would cancel them if they did so I figured that wouldn’t be the case. But how it doesn’t make sense is why would you be ripped out of one timeline just to be thrown into another, especially when you find out that the Observers were the ones who wiped you in the first place? And the only way he got back was because Olivia though there was something familiar about him and kept that guy from obliterating him in the episode “Subject 9”. Then it gets better because when he was in September's head, September was pretty much telling Peter that he was in the same timeline by saying he was supposed to be with Olivia and that she would need him. But no! I had a wait a freaking month for September to just flat out say it! “You are home,” he says in his monotone “I’m a scientist from the future” voice. Seriously!? My gosh! You couldn’t have said that a month ago!? At least Olivia and Peter are back together, now it’s just a matter of time before the "love" September talked about in last weeks "A Short Story about Love" catches up to the rest of them and they all remember who Peter is and how much they care about him.
But now the question I want to know is: what is David Robert Jones up to? For those of you that don't know him, he was the big baddie in season one where this fantastic show all started and where Jones in a different “timeline” was killed by Peter who closed Jones' makeshift portal to the "Otherside" while Jones was halfway through slicing this creepy and evil dude in half.
BUT, thanks to the Observers messing with crap, that technically never happened so four years later Jones is now walking around causing problems in our universe and on the Otherside: creating a new breed of shape-shifters, mining some dangerous material that can merge the two universes into one spot, forcing Olivia to activate her powers, and now creating a horde of recently evolved humans. What the hell is Jones' game? I mean seriously, with only six episodes left before the season finale, and hopefully not the series, the data against David keeps piling up and all I'm trying to do is just figure out where this is going.
Even now as I write this, next week’s episode deals with a shape-shifter going out and killing bad guys...or is he doing something more? The two universes must stop this freak with a serious case of mistaken identity and put a stop to him before he can really put into motion whatever Jones' has planned. Anyway I'm signing off for the night, I'll watch Grimm and recap it tomorrow before I head off to work. But until that article, According to Michael III, whatever the writers of Fringe have Jones' doing may actually save the show. Hey it's possible! They already did a good thing with putting Peter and Olivia back together and not messing with their relationship anymore, so here's to hoping!
