LIVEBLOG PARTY! We’re going to be watching the twelfth episode of the third season of Fringe. OLIVIA. IN A DRESS. BLUE STUFF. Hell yeah, SO EXCITED.
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 “Concentrate and Ask Again†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.
SOUND FINE? OMG there better be more Astrid this week WHEN IS OUR ASTRID-CENTRIC EPISODE GOING TO HAPPEN.

Somebody on tumblr pointed out the blue and the red (her lipstick totally counts as the red) and the YELLOW in that picture. YELLOWVERSEEEEEE.
WHAT????
Isn't that a fan theory? That there's "over here" with the blue and "over there" with the red, but then yellow keeps showing up, too? I'm totally new to the show, I literally just watched the entire series in two weeks, but I thought I had heard that…
I've heard that theory floating about too. I soooo want it to be true.
Yeah, I've heard it floating around. Not sure if I buy it yet, but you never know with Fringe.
Are you referring to the yellow HE IS HERE messages?
No, just random bits of red, blue, and yellow going all the way back to the first season. In "Bad Dreams," there are three balloons on the stroller: a red one, a blue one, and a yellow one. Walternate's office (I think) has three solid colored paintings: a red one, a blue one, and a yellow one. In "Midnight," there are red, blue, and yellow lights at the club and a red, blue, and yellow poster. In "There's More Than One Of Everything," there are red, blue, and yellow panes of glass in the windows of the beach house. I can't think of any specific episodes or parts, but I know I've seen things around the lab in groups of red, blue, and yellow, although those might be actual science-y things and not part of the pattern.
I heard about the theory before I started watching the show, so I was keeping my eyes peeled and I noticed it a LOT. Unfortunately, I didn't think to grab screencaps or write it down or anything…
EDIT: This thread has a lot of screencaps. Some of them are a bit of a stretch, in my opinion, but there are enough legit ones that make me think it's actually a pattern and not just fans making something out of nothing. http://fringe-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3…
SPOILER FOR TONIGHT'S EPISODE KIND OF?
There are blue, red, and yellow balloons behind the guy when he's blowing out the candles on his birthday cake.
I want there to be a GREENVERSE. Green is so much cooler than yellow.
We need an Astrid-cetric episode ASAP, please D:
Or more Walter is always welcome. Peter and Olivia are great and all, but the other two are just the whipped cream and cherry on top of the ice cream. (Obviously after last episode, Walter's the whipped cream.)
I'm not sure what time zone I'll join in, but I'm going to try to make up for missing last week's liveblog tonight. I'm making a 6 hour drive this afternoon, and the DVR is set at my destination in case the drive takes longer (damn icy roads). Central or Mountain time zones, I may be hanging with you tonight.
I think I should be able to live blog tonight so I'm looking forward to it.
Also, more Astrid is always welcome.

FRINGE LIVEBLOG, FUCK YEAH.
Also, Olivia in a dress, fuck yeah.
Oh man, I'm really looking forward to this episode!!!
I don't know what I'll do in the summertime when this goes to reruns- I will probably die.
SO EXCITE FOR SNAZZINESS!

THIS GIF.
THIS GIF
OMG, John Noble in that last one! I DIE.
ISN'T IT THE BEST.
What is this gif from I need it in my life.
I grabbed it from Tumblr, but I'm not sure what it's from. Jasika Nicole did play a role in "Take the Lead", which was basically all about dancing, so maybe it's related to that?
OMG!!!
Can't wait!!! I have high expectations for this episode!!! Olivia in a dress and red liptisck…they better to give Olivia and Peter some action together!!!
I'm afraid that in the episode the alternates are going to show up and blew everythig…
Excite!
<img src="http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/9319/naday.gif">
literally the best gif to ever exist ever.
I kept loling at least half hour after seeing it for the first time…and it still gets me everytime !!!
It makes me extra happy!
I don't know if I'll be able to liveblog tonight! But I hope so. One way or the other, I'm so excited for this episode!!
OH WAIT yes I can. Fall through plans–good because it means I can liveblog 🙂
This was going to be my first liveblog and bloody flight delays are keeping me away from my TV…sucks….
Ugh, I have turned on the TV and I am seeing the tail end of Kitchen Nightmares.
GOODBYE CHEF RAMSEY
MAKE WAY FOR FRINGE!!!!
Huzzah!

An updated version than the one I've been posting
Yay Fringe is starting!
YAY YAYAYAY
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Mentions of cortexiphan and first people in the intro! 😀
Nina, Nina, I'm still so confused about your role.
OMG, Did you see the "Dr. Spock's" book?!?! LOL, Star Trek shout-out for Leonard Nimoy!!
Haha, why does William Bell have a Dr. Spock baby book? Is that just a nod to Nimoy playing Spock?
I was wondering that too 🙂
I mean, it either means that or that Belly had a kid. Actually, was that him and Nina in those photos? MAYBE THEY TOTALLY HAD A SECRET LOVEBABY.
I was trying to see if it was Nina but I couldn't tell.
I am kind of waiting for Bell's secret baby to show up. That would make perfect sense.
Why do you knkow the safe combo nina?
Lol I read Nina as ninja. Somehow this still works.
I love Nina so fucking much.
BAHHH So he had a copy!
Poor Olivia… don't push it Nina! That's just MEAN.
'I imagine that must've been awkward' No kidding Nina.
Olivia you are a better person than me, please stop putting yourself down like this 🙁 You are a true BAMF.
Bell/Nina ship? I don't know if I wanna get on that.
I imagine there were wild drug fueled Walter/Bell/Nina orgies (plus the various other subjects that were sucked in). Well, I don't want to imagine it, but I can see it happening.
Hmm, nice Nina, YOU CONFOUND ME.
Wait is Nina a Peter/Olivia shipper?
I think this cake is about to blow up
Ah, I was wrong. I guess in this show I'm not surprised the cake didn't blow up. That would have been too obvious.
A doll? OMG how creepy.
Oh, and full of poison?
Ewww super brittle bones are grossss!
Haha, that was exactly what I just said to my roommate.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I don't have good feelings about magic 8 ball man.
I wonder if that 8 ball is also a subtle sign of JJ Abrams new movie Super 8?
OMG GET THIS GUY SOME SKELEGRO.
A++ COMMENT
LOLING
OMG BEST COMMENT EVER THANK YOU FOREVER I LOLOLOL SO MUCH AT THIS.
WHY WOULD YOU PLAY WITH THE VOODOO DOLL
Holy shit!!!!!!
CREEPY DOLL IS CREEPY.
Ugh creepy doll, horrible way to die.
Okay, in the true spirit of a MarkWatches liveblog, I'm off to make some popcorn on the first commercial. YUM
I have an eggless chocolate chip cookie dough recipe that I whipped up this afternoon in anticipation of liveblogging. Oh the calorie filled deliciousness. 😀
Mmmmm. Sounds good. Did you make cookies or are you just eating cookie dough.
Either is acceptable.
Lol just cookie dough.
Perfect choice.
um endless love for Nina Sharp. ENDLESS.
What did we ever do?
'Why would anyone kill a scientist. What did we ever do?' Oh Walter, never change.
Lockhart strikes again!
Man, that voodoo doll is creepy.
Oh Walter, you're awesome.
Aw no Peter. Don't mix up their coffee 🙁
Astrid you give me life.
Agreed!
What would they do without Astrid?
They wouldn't survive a single case, obviously.
FUUUUUUU
Ohhhhh, awkward. Fauxlivia's coffee with milk.
HOW DID HE NOT KNOW IT WASN'T OLIVIA?! People don't change their coffee habits!!!!!
Ohhh, Olivia, don't beat yourself over this!!
This is true.
Oh my gosh, this conversation is killing me.
But I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE TALKING GUYS instead of being weird and deceiving each other like last episode.
It is good that they're talking it out but it makes me sad to see Olivia thinking so little of herself like that.
Yeah, me too.
You better not by lying about her Peter or you will break Olivia's heart and mine.
Inorite? These conversations are killing me. I love how realistic they are, though. Not as much talking around things as is usually found in shows.
I KNOW. MY HEART IS FRAGILE, PETER.
Yes, me too. I'm just sitting here "Awww"ing at my tv, but in a nervous this-better-last kind of way.
I don't trust them either. As soon as we're comfortable with things looking like they're going to work out BAM and probably evil laughter from the writers.
That was a B, missed the first letter though
I thought it was an H?
Ah, yeah you're right. I knew the dot was on the left, but I forgot where.
SHIT, CHASE SCENE
SHIIIIIIIIT
JEEZY CREEZY, PETER. ROOFTOP CHASE!
Why do people do this on tv so often without hurting themselves? I would break like three bones if I jumped off a roof.
OMG!!!
I totally forgot…lost 20 minutes of the episode…darn it…
what happened???
Whaaat's going on with Walter?
Oh Walter. ;______; I don't even know why I'm sad for you yet, but I am.
Uggggh, I don't want to hear about babies, all I can think about is Fauxlivia's potential pregnancy.
This is the second baby mention/reference so far.
We saw the Dr. Spock book at the beginning.
Is this connected???
I THINK IT MIGHT BE. OMG.
MADISON. OMG he sent the doll from his baby. That is both really sad and really fucked up. :(((
Woops, I forgot that was the name on the card!
That is really fucked up.
This episode is twisty.
Ohhhh, Walter. I love you.
bring a wallet lol
Brand new cortexiphan kid? Ooooh, exciting.
Woot, another cortexaphan kid. (I know I butchered that spelling)
\o/ I'm so glad they're not dropping that storyline.
Especially after killing so many of them off already.
Awww
PUNCHBUGGY BLUE!!
Blue punchbuggy! Oh, Walter, how are you so adorable?
I say this over and over again, but Walter is seriously awesome.
I hate the abandoned home trope, it always makes me uncomfortable.
I did not needed to see walter peeing…
SHIT A CORTEXIPHAN GUY
OH SNAP he can't read Olivia's mind!
Olivia is better than you! She's immune!
This episode is blowing my mind.
Mind reading. Without control that sounds awful.
I feel so bad for Telepath Guy.
See this is why mind reading is not the best super power, especially if you don't know how to control it.
Olivia's like: "um, yes."
he is like sookie stackhouse…olivia is his bill..
I'm incredibly happy that I wasn't the only one who thought this.
show why do you insist on forever breaking my heart into millions of pieces
Another voodoo doll explosion! Did the elevator have to be clear?
That scene was shot/scored really well.
Yes, definitely.
HOLY SHIT. That was scary, the way they shot that in the elevator.
OH NO MORE VICTIMS
WHO IS CARLA?
One of the other two dead babies mentioned?
H-A
Ahahaha, for a second there I thought the kid dressed as a dog in the pet cage was part of the episode. American shows need a better distinction between show and ads. And less ad breaks.
me too lol
"We need a mind reader to help us find a bomb."
NEVER CHANGE
Walter's complete lack of social propriety will always make my life better.
Me too.
The whisper voice of this guy sounds kind of like a woman's voice…am I imagining that?
DOES HE LOOK OKAY OLIVIA
I mean, I totally understand that this man can't possibly live in a city, but why is this one man affecting him to the point of sickness? Is it because he's in a coma…so the thoughts are very abnormal?
I assume so. He had the same kind of reaction to Walter and we know Walter is missing parts of his brain.
Ah, very true. Walter's brain is certainly abnormal (also, what a cool way for the show to give us a glimpse into Walter's stream of consciousness, eh?)
Walter's mind is a terrifying and wonderful place. I can't imagine anyone who's not him being able to handle it.
He can barely handle it. 🙁
Sadface forever
oh, I feel so bad for him…poor mind reader…
I would totally share his insecurities. Knowing what people really think of you could be emotionally crippling on top of the sheer madness of having people's thoughts invading your mind.
OMG Martouf!!!
Sorry, Stargate flashbacks.
YES MARTOUF! THAT'S HIS NAME!!!
OMG, I cried so hard when he died.
They killed him off too soon. But then again aside from Jack and Pete nearly everyone Sam liked died.
They actually wanted to bring him back at one point, but his actor wasn't available. Like the Tok'ra were able to save him or something… BUT JR BOURNE WASN'T AVAILABLE!
Tears forever.
Seeing him in the "multiple alternate-universe SG-1 teams" episode was such a great touch…along with bringing Janet back for one last episode.
But OMG Martouf works for the CIA!!! Hopefully this will be a recurring role!
Project Jellyfish will never not make me laugh. It doesn't sound like it should be nearly as scary as it is.
Hahaha, this conversation about his crush, and then him hearing Peter's mind and looking at Olivia in this sly way is somehow making me think of school children in an adorable way.
In addition, I really liked that conversation. He's totally right, but haven't we ALL wished we could read someone's mind before?
Ugh, this episode is breaking my heart.
OMG I RECOGNIZE AGENT EDWARDS. FROM STARGATE. ONE OF THE TAU'RI!
Not Tau'ri, one of the the Tok'ra!
That was some sexy tension there, scene.
Ugh, what was the third glyph, I missed it!
OMG, perfect McdONALDS AD…
It's like the synchronized swimming of hot beverages, apparently.
And we're back. I didn't understand what happened in that barn before the commercial. Walter will tell me.
Those guys were immune somehow? IDGI.
The other two tested their explosion.
I have serious trouble taking "Project Jellyfish" seriously.
