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!
Of course she landed on bugs…of course.

Oh hush up sexist ad.
LINCOLN WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY MAN.
PLEASE DO NOT BLOW YOURSELF UP.
Oh no Lincoln's still trapped and Fauxlivia's about to get bugged.
Don't be judging a killer, Olivia! You killed a mom with a shapeshifter!
I hate people that abduct you and just walk around avoind your questions…
PLEASE STOP SHOWING CLOSE-UPS OF THE BUGS. KTHXBYE.
O I SEE WHAT U DID THERE LINCOLN.
I have always wondered if liquid nitrogen actually works this way. To the wiki, I suppose!
HAHA SHE IS PREGNANT!!!!!
How hilarious would it be if that was what the rumour is based on.
PREGNANT WITH BEETLES.
Fauxlivia is pregnant with beetles! Come on!!!!!!
Shiiiiit.
oh shit…she has bugs inside her…she can marry francis now…
R-O-M-A
Unless I missed a letter or misinterpreted one.
Oh god, Lady Gaga is taking over the altverse, too D:
(No, but seriously, Roman? I am confused.)
I don't see were it fits in this episode…
All I can think of is the tomato now, even though I know there is another letter.
I believe this was the plot of like the third ever episode of Buffy. Just saying. Not to mention poor Cordelia.
You mean the one where the substitute teacher was actually a giant bug and mated with the boys so they could incubate her eggs?
Yes, that's the one. Poor Xander.
Poor Frank.
Lincoln is getting scary. Hot, but scary.
Um if it kills the bugs will it kill the baby too?
(I don't know whether to be happy or not.)
Sigh.
SHIT SHE'S PREGNANT
OMG BABY!
Is it going to turn out she actually is pregnant and they have to kill the baby?
WHAT???
She's pregnant!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK HE INFECTED HER FETUS HOLY SHIT.
Haha she is pregnant
NO NO NO NO NO SHE'S PREGNANT
Poor Frank, he knows it isn't his.
NOOOO! 🙁 I seriously just yelled out IT'S NOT BUGS!! IT'S A BABY! boo

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
what did he said?
I was really hoping that that was just a rumour, god.
WILL SHE TELL HIM IT'S NOT HIS? WILL HE DO THE MATH AND REALIZE IT CAN'T BE HIS?
I can't stand this. I did not want it to happen. This is horrible.
oh, he's going to dump her…sad…sad…
Poor Frank. Such a good guy, just proposed, girl's knocked up by another man.
Man needs a hug!
Awesome ergh face Anna!
http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/
SHE ACCEPTED HIM KNOWING SHE WAS PREGNANT WITH PETER'S BABY!!! fdsgdfghdsfdsfgfrghdfHFVDSHJKFH!!!!!!!??DGFDF:LSGL
She didn't know! She didn't know!
poor frank 🙁
do you think a peter baby could control the machine?
<img src=http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/customavatars/avatar188262_1.gif>
Oh, come on, she was in another world! You can make it work! I want my polygon!
It doesn't count! It's like that rule about when you're in another zip code!
THEY WERE ON A BREAK!
WHAAAAT SHE CAN NOT BE IN LOVE WITH PETER. REALLY, FAUXLIVIA?
Ugh, I'm so upset I could vomit.
Other Brandon always sounds so sinister.
Not relevant, but I love the way Fauxlivia struts around in her boots.
And puffy jacket. Swag.
OMG Walternate is going to use Fauxlivia to get Peter back.
ASDFGHJKL
You're going to be a grandfather, Walternate!
Ugh, so depressed.
YOUR UTERUS IS A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY.
So many lols!
they'll give the corthexiphan to her??
OH MY GOD
Intrauterine cortexiphan? This can only end well!
Great, now Walter is going to have to kidnap his grandson, too.
ROMAD?
I must have gotten the first letter wrong.
I was confused too.
No, it was definitely R! I got ROMAD, too… The only other option is QOMAD because it was DEFINITELY a frog.
Yeah, I definitely remember it being a frog
Rewatch for the letters are in order for tomorrow.
Nomad, maybe? Or Roman, but that doesn't make sense. Nomad could refer to the baby, who has one parent in each universe and thus doesn't really have a home.
maybe it was Nomad…I don't know..
so, maybe it's an anagram
DAMOR
MORDA
MARDO
DROMA
DRAMO
DRACO? IS THE BABY A MALFOY?
DAMOR makes me think of Namor…
IS THE BABY GOING TO BE KING OF ATLANTIS?!
Or an acronym? Not an acronym, but the things that are acronyms without being a pronounceable word. You know what I mean.
I'm thinking it is romad, people on twitter got the same thing. Apparently it's an acronym for Recon Observe Mark and Destroy.
Judging by the preview for next week, that sounds about right.
Hmm, that's interesting. I just looked it up to see what it meant (they're members of the Air Force), but I'm not sure how it connects to the show.
Thanks for sharing this. I woulds have never figured it out.
Observe "MARK" and destroy? Noo, I don't want to.
Promo!!!!
OMG THE PROMO>>>>IT'S STARTING…
IDK HOW TO FEEL. Are they going to Cortexiphan the baby? Will it be a SUPER Cortexiphan kid because it is literally in utero?
WHY A BABY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Walternate's smile was the CREEPIEST. THING. EVER.
Walternate refuses to experiment on children. i find this completely, utterly, deeply intriguing. the trials must have been pre-peter-dying, in which case i wonder if they'll reveal why walternate refuses to use children and walter seemed to have little to no hesitation. perhaps this is related to why Belly removed part of walter's brain – why it is suggested walter would have become a monster. this also concerns me then that walter is trying to regrow brain tissue to become more like walternate, it might turn out to reveal whatever apparent darkness lived inside him all those years ago.
also, i hate that these alt characters are so likeable! obvs the show wouldn't work if we didnt, but i find myself imaging what would happen if Olivia or Walter died and Fauxlivia and Walernate took over. It really muddles the brain as to who the good guys are. damn you moral ambiguity!!!
Thinking better now, those bugs remembered me of those ones on The Mummy movie…
OH MY GOD I ALMOST MISSED IT.
Hi guys I JUST GOT HOME 5 MINUTES AGO.
OMG CLOSE CALL. PREPARE YOURSELF.
Oh man, I am so nervous for this episode. It is nice to return to the alternate universe, though!
I want to hate Fauxlivia so badly but she is acting so cute right now
she has a heart to…I know I cannot hate her!
Omg, Broyles. 🙁 🙁 🙁
OH MY GOD I CANNOT EVEN. THAT IS ONE OF THE GROSSEST THINGS EVER.
I KNOW RIGHT.
I cannot even. Those bugs. oh my god.
Oh man, I forgot about them trying to synthesize Olivia. omg.
also, Walternate WON'T USE CHILDREN. OMG.
Hahaha omg this girl LOVES Scarlie. I love it.
This episode makes me incredibly nervous.
MOAR ASTRID.
<img src="http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/pp20/Reverie24/GIFs/tumblr_le56p2QIxM1qc13oa.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
These bugs are too much for me. I can't do bugs. That girl and her crush were so cute though.
No, I need Astrid in MY life. Not fair. 🙁
WHAT IS YOUR SECRET.
WHAT THE FUCK WHY WOULD YOU TELL FAUXLIVIA THAT. OH MY GOD.
Oh man, this is so awkward.
NO. NO THANK YOU. MAKE THE BUGS STOP.
they never stop…it only gets worse…
That's what I said! THEY ARE AWFUL.
OMG BROYLES. 🙁 🙁 🙁
Ugh, this is creeping me out.
omg parasites terrify me.
OMG OMG OMG OMG.
Well, everything is a million times more awkward and complicated.
CREEPY WAREHOUSE IS CREEPY.
oh no. OH NO.
ahhhhhhhh GET UP GET UP GET UP
I'm sorry, did anyone else get that absurd Radio Shack commercial?
With the dog and the cat?
Lincoln, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO. oh my god.
Please don't do it. PLEASE DON'T. OH MY GOD.
my heart hurts.
How are they going to get out of this?
OH MY GOD OH MY FUCKING GOD
i can't even. I CANNOT EVEN. HEAD EXPLOSION FOREVER.
Brilliant. BRILLIANT FUCKING RESOLUTION.
You know, I thought I would be mad, but I am so utterly depressed. This is unbelievable.
I am actually sad for Fauxlivia! I did not expect that.
<img src=http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy172/SebastianMehenka/NOOO.gif>
Oh, Walternate. You are going to be scummy, aren't you?
Oh, that was AWFUL.
everything is falling appart…and I can't even imagine what will happen from now on…
But I can just suppose that Walternate will use the babie as a way to get Peter back…and choose his world to save…
She has taken everything, even the son that supposed to be our Liv's.
OH MY GOD NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE. ksdjf;lasdjkf;lasfasdfakls
am i seriously the only person on the west coast watching this show
what
APPARENTLY. But we got to 300 comments! Yay!
Mark, I have failed you! Lol, I had hoped to be awake enough to liveblog the episode PST, but decided I was too tired to do anything but check in on the Doctor Who posts and then go to sleep. Guess who is still awake, and still hasn't seen this ep? 🙁 I will have to catch up and contribute to the review tomorrow.
I actually got worried we weren't supposed to post while you were watching it and that I rudely interrupted. Good God I'm awkward.
Nooo I was watching too (LA), but I completely lack the ability to watch a television show and comment on here at the same time. (That being said, it's funny to see this page as one long string of your comments.)
I am a serious nerd. I cannot take my eyes off the screen for fear of missing something important. Still, I love reading all the comments on Saturday, so please keep the live blogs going.
Meanwhile, bring on the pro-life hate comments, but I was really excited when I saw that needle about to rid Fauxlivia of the parasite/fetus because I do not want a grandchild for Walternate! Oh well.
I just watched on Time Delay. Had I known, I would have been here!
Fauxlivia's Bug Girl and Scarlie jokes!
I bet he considers it….
