More liveblogging? MORE LIVEBLOGGING INDEED. We will be tackling the thirteenth episode of the third season of Fringe, titled “Immortality.” We return to the alternate universe, where there are bugs WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY. Blog on, my friends!
Because we are all on the exact same ground this time around, our spoiler policy for these blogs will be completely different. Anything that has aired in the past is fair game for discussion. Anything that has not publicly aired WILL BE CONSIDERED A SPOILER. I know there are spoilers for “Immortality†floating around the ‘Net (WHICH I HAVE AVOIDED TYVM), so please, DO NOT POST THEM HERE.
This liveblog will work in relative to when the episode airs for you. So, you may begin your livebloggy commenting down below when the episode starts. To avoid spoilers, I stick to the first page and comment away, and then go back afterwards to add any more.
Let’s break 300 comments, shall we? Please pass this along to all your Fringe-watching friends so we may go wild! KEEP FRINGE ON THE AIR!

I'm sad my international viewing doesn't help but I'm looking forward to live blogging the show again.
Random question: Do we know when or how the red universe split apart from our blue universe.They have different American presidents and since they use zepplins I'm presuming the Hindenburg disaster never happened. Also while they're more technologically advanced they seem to have problems with disease outbreaks since last we saw Frank he was off dealing with a Smallpox outbreak and it doesn't seem like it's an unusual occurrence for him to be doing things like that.
I'm going to wager that the red-blue universe's split point at least predates the War of 1812, because Fauxlivia didn't know who Andrew Jackson was. (Even if he had been president of the United States, but wasn't on the $20 bill, she'd at least have a vague idea of who he was. )
Ooh, this is a good point. If we ever find out what the third major political party over there is, that might give us more of a clue. Wouldn't it be great if it was the Whigs or something?
Yay, Fringe gifspam!

I think I'll be able to do this one, and I'll do my part to get to get us to 300!
YESSSSSS
Most people are creeped out by bug episodes, but I love them. Maybe I'm just weird.
As long as Fringe stays on the air!!!
Frustration! Once again, I'm going out of town this weekend, and my gracious hosts do not have DVR capabilities. I'll just have to wait till Sunday night to catch up. Have fun, y'all!
HULU.com has it tomorrow.
Oh, I'm not worried about missing it completely — my home DVR will still record, and I'll see it when I get back Sunday night. But I can't liveblog because I'll be on the road during my timezone's airing, and in a cabin in the woods with no TV during other timezones' airing.
On the plus side, I'll be in an awesome, gorgeous cabin in the woods. So it's a fair trade.
Yay! These liveblogs make me wish i had a TV. Maybe I'll post tomorrow when its on hulu.
Yeah they are the same thing, excpet palmetto bugs FUCKING FLY!! It is the scariest thing of all.
I think all cockroaches are capable of flight, even our smaller northern variety (I'm in New England)…but most choose to scurry in their creepy way instead.
And bookling, it would be me too. Except I can't watch tonight. So I will have to catch up later, when there are no livebloggy friends to keep me sane.
They kind of look like Chinese cockroaches. Just FYI, they're much rounder than American cockroaches, and much larger than the Asian cockroaches. So they're not the kind that we have that infests houses. There's actually a few other species of cockroaches in the US (I don't know much about non-US) that don't have any interest in infesting houses or eating/contaminating our food. The Wood Cockroach is one of those, and I have no ill will or animosity towards those guys. They're also pretty small. I've caught them with my hands before. 😛
It's hard to get me to be creeped out by insects/invertebrates. I do have problems with ticks and spiders (the spiders thing makes absolutely no sense I know) but I don't have a problem with cockroaches. OF COURSE, I have never been in a house that was infested by them, so I might have more of a problem if I was. But I've encountered them many times with no problems.
But I'm also a bat person, and have chosen to specialize in the study of bats for my master's degree. Also I own a snake. So I'm usually on the side of the persecuted animal unless there really is a reason to fear for myself.
ANYWAY.
Cockroaches are not what is going to creep me out about this episode.
Sadly, I cannot liveblog tonight. 🙁
But I assure you, when I do catch up, this will be my reaction to creepy bugs:

Oh that show! I miss coming home from school to watch it every afternoon. 🙁 &Boymeetsworld;
Gotta love Boy Meets World 🙂 It was my homework break show for years.
This gif makes me so happy.
That episode was so awesome.
REDVERSE!!!

Hopefully I will make it to at least the West Coast liveblog! I've got work until 10 tonight (and again at 10 in the morning :P), but the DVR is set and I don't want to miss out on the awesome.
Bugs you say Mark? Hmmmmm…
uhull! Red universe today yes sir!!! Maybe we will find out if boliviafauxliviaaltiliv is pregnant!!!

OMG I've only seen the Mythbusters manip of that walrus one, that's it's really weird to see the original.
IT'S STARTING OMG.
ALT-VERSE YAAAAY
I'm going to miss Alt-Broyles.
OMG ZEPPELINS I LOVE THE ALTVERSE.
Alt Broyles 🙁
Haha, zeppelin airport. I love it!
Throughout this cute encounter with Fauxlivia and cute boyfriend, all I am thinking is "DON'T BE PREGNANT, DON'T BE PREGNANT"
Sooo Fauxlivia's boyfriend doesn't even know she was gone? I wonder if she'll tell him?
First liveblog I get to participate innnn. I'm so excited 😀
Fauxlivia can have Frank and Olivia can have Peter. Please don't complicate it and make me sad 🙁
What about their matching tattoos?!
FIRST FRINGE LIVEBLOG FOR ME
Aw alt!boyfriend, I feel sorry for you already for some reason.
If he notices it wasn't her, does that mean he is a better boyfriend than Peter?
I think they've been together a lot longer than Peter and Olivia. Not to mention Fauxlivia was trying to be Olivia and Olivia was forced to become Fauxlivia and hallucinating Peter.
That's true. I think I was being too hard on Peter there.
"I Want You to Want Me" is all slow jam-y!
Fauxlivia, you slut!
Does Fauxlivia know what happened to altBroyles or is it just Walternate?
Bug time now.
Red credits!
EWWWWW

AHHHHH THE COCKROACHES!
i would notive if my glass were missing ared straw.
Right?! Ridiculous.
I can't stand spiders but funnily enough I don't mind bugs so hopefully this episode won't be so bad on the squick for me. Then again this is Fringe.
<img src=http://www.gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs/299847_o.gif>
Repeats to self it's ten past 2 in the morning, everyone is asleep, I can't laugh out loud.
I love your username.
Thanks!
frank looks like john…
Aw, Fauxlivia/Frank is cute. I don't want their relationship screwed up as well.
Is it weird that I kind of wish our Statue of Liberty still looked like that?
Walternate is so cool and yet so frightening.
Machine part! Cortexiphan! Brandon!
Aaaaugh cortexiphan breakthrough! Bad news.
Telekinesis and seizures! Welcome to the Cortexiphan Trials in the Altverse.
Our Walter experiments on children, Walternate doesn't.
Conflict.
Does this make Walternate BETTER than Water?
Walternate just won my heart…a bit…lol
Whoa. Walternate won't do what Walter would: experiment on kids.
Interesting, Walternate is okay cutting out people's brains but no to using Cortexiphan on children. Consequence of having lost Peter?
I miss our Charlie.
Arachnid infestation? EW WHAT DOES SHE MEAN.
I cannot currently imagine anything worse than spiders in my insides. Full. body. shudders.
I think the alt!Charlie still has larvae in his body from the hybrid attack in Unleashed or something. At least that's what I assumed 😛
Is that Anna from Supernatural?!
I also want her glasses.
Ooh! I think so.
She is rocking the glasses, especially with her lovely hair color.
I checked IMDb, it's definitely her.
There are no sheep in the altverse?! WHAT?!
omg lol "on the inside"
that's really disgusting…
First letter is R!
R for Really disguting bugs attack…
R for roach? xP
Second letter's O. That was easy..
oh god, a heart shaped pizza…
AltAstrid!
Lincoln! Alt-Astrid! 😀
Fauxlivia is making bad bug puns. She is so one of us!
Awww, Lincoln crushing on Fauxlivia is so adorable!!!!
I'd pick you over Frank, Lincoln.
"I am perfect, but he is a close second."
I LOVE YOU LINCOLN. <3
I want Lincoln!!!
TWO WHOLE CALLS
Oh God…Astrid…you're even greater in the other universe…
OMG, that guy in the diner has a tablet but it looks like it's running really old software. The altverse is weird.
I still don't understand how having all of these electronics means they got rid of pens. That makes no sense to me.
They use their little tablet things for everything? I don't know. I mean, we use out phones/computers for almost everything but we still use pens.
But does that mean there are no hand sketched drawings anymore? Or are pencils and chalk still around? How do they keep score for put-put golf? Electronically? These are things I must know!
Ohhhh god he's going to propose to her.
Is Frank planning on proposing?
I was right! Also Lincoln you're a terrible secret keeper.
Oh man, Frank's going to propose, isn't he? And Lincoln's totally going to spill the beans.
D'oh!
HOLY SHIT- POOR FRANK!
Cone of Silence, so the altverse had Get Smart? Yes!
Is that what it's from? I recognized the phrase but couldn't remember where from.
Yeah. If I remember correctly, in the Steve Carrell (sp?) movie version, he goes under it and everyone can still hear what he is saying. Maybe that's the one Lincoln watched?
ugh…you've just ruined everything…keep the secret damn…
Wow he didn't even wait for a commercial break.
Lincoln seems so young to be in charge of a division as important as Fringe is in altverse. Might be the enormous blue eyes.
he has a baby face…
Totally. He's trying to hide it with that scruff!
Every time they say Silva, I hear Sivana. My mind is probably linking the skelter beetles to Mr. Mind.
Second letter is O!!
Every time they mention that all the sheep are dead, I mourn a little bit more for the fact that the alternate universe has no wool.
I can't imagine no sheep. How are the expensive tourist shops supposed to sell Aran jumpers or over priced Irish wool clothes? What about Australia and New Zealand?
I don't even get how you can run out of sheep.
WHY IS THAT GUY HANGING OUT CATCHING THE BUGS?
<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_3lVOb8wvDlE/TTnMeb_76ZI/AAAAAAAABHE/_YxQSBHZgMM/tumblr_lfcv7udzsl1qa8gh7.gif">
UGH WHAT Is GOING ON.
auhuahsushuashusahua, what is a bieber???????????????????????
Walternate has a mistress? Judging!!!!
Unless he divorced his wife after Peter got stolen.
Stolen a second time, anyway. So otherwise they'd be recently divorced.
Oh damn, Walternate's getting some!
That's not your wife Walternate.
I love this character development for Walternate and the automatic comparisons with our Walter. Which, really, has done worse?
There's a line he can't cross, says the man having an affair.
Calling it now! A version of this mistress is so going to show up in our universe!
I'm still waiting for our Lincoln to show up.
YES PLEASE.
she's sweet…
What is going on with this woman? Is it a serious relationship?
I need Walternate background NOW.
'97, that was way before we heard about the avian flu here, rright?
Oh yeah.
Sorta? The Spanish flu was probably avian, and avian flus have been part of other flu epidemics like the Hong Kong flu, but I'm pretty sure the latest Avian Flu freak out is a little more recent. H5N1 might have been in birds that early, though.
Whoa! Abrupt proposal!
*flails* Proposal!
I feel bad for Frank, I really find myself liking him ):
uhlll…there it goes…
just say yes…have the kid with him, FORGET PETER
That was a crappy proposal, Frank!
Late, but I guess I'm happy for Fauxlivia? This sorta helps eliminate the love triangle…or makes it a POLYGON!
LOVE SQUARE!
Do bosses normally go out on assignments? Is Lincoln going to be the Kirk of the Fringe division.
Haven't these people ever heard of backup?!
They'll need more red shirts.
Are they blue shirts in the red universe, do you think?
Does Star Trek even exist?!
If it does it probably never starred Leonard Nimoy. That would probably cause a paradox.
Oh, now I definitely don't approve of the alternate universe.
What if Roddenberry chose to keep Majel Barret as the First Officer instead of Leonard Nimoy?!
OUR WHOLE HISTORY WOULD BE DIFFERENT
OH GOD, does Doctor Who exist? If it doesn't, then I am never going there 🙁
Doctor Who must exist everwhere. The Doctor saw to it back before the Time War.
I loled 😀
NO SIGNAL. OH NO. BE CAREFUL LINCOLN!
get out of there…ugh…you'll die…
I don't feel bad at all for you, Fauxlivia!!
Third letter is M! R-O-M
