Mark Watches ‘Fringe’ Liveblog: Subject 13

It’s Friday and that means it’s time for us to all watch (and freak out) over a new episode of Fringe! This week’s episode is a flashback-heavy story and is a sequel of sorts to season two’s “Peter.” Are you excite? EXCITE.

It was nice to see a few new faces last week, so tell your friends to join in on the party for “Subject 13.”

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 “Subject 13” floating around the ‘Net (WHICH I HAVE AVOIDED TYVM), so please, DO NOT POST THEM HERE. I know that this episode in particular has COMPLETE SPOILERS out there, so please be courteous to other viewers and keep them to yourself.

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.

PARTY TIME IN LESS THAN ELEVEN HOURS! Well, for me, that is.

    Oh. Oh my God. Are you serious.

  2. Hotaru-hime says:

    Safety Czar?
    Poor Walternate.

  3. psycicflower says:

    Poor Walternate! Poor everyone in this episode really.

  4. ldwy says:

    Star wars defense system? Is that what they said?

    They've been doing a good job of making Walternate awful, but still sympathetic. I feel really bad for him.

  5. Ames says:

    A lot of shows and stories ask the one-for-the-many question, but not with kids. Way to ratchet up the stakes there, show.

  6. cinnafan says:

    amazing acting-it's so obvious which Peter's mother she is; her entire presence is different

  7. psycicflower says:

    Jonsi! *dances*

  8. MKJCaylor says:

    Pity for Walternate. He can have it now.

  9. Hotaru-hime says:

    Why do I always miss the fourth letter?

  10. Hotaru-hime says:

    Poor Altizabeth.

  11. Hotaru-hime says:

    He's her son too!

  12. Hotaru-hime says:

    In this tragic moment, I am squeeing over the old 80s computer!

  13. ldwy says:

    So sad. These actors all do such a great job with the subtle differences that make their alternate characters perfect!!!

  14. Ames says:

    Oh goooddd don't sit sadly in his room. I can't TAKE IT.

  15. psycicflower says:

    Nothing is beautiful and everything hurts.

  16. Hotaru-hime says:

    God, I feel so sorry for Peter's real mom.

  17. rabbitape says:

    Ugh. UTTER TRAGEDY.

  18. rabbitape says:

    SO MUCH FOR HOPE.

  19. Hotaru-hime says:

    And Walternate went to work anyway! BASTARD

  20. Ames says:

    Bishop Dynamic?! Is that new?

  21. psycicflower says:

    Obviously pulling the marriage back together doesn't work given the future and I'm proved right as I'm typing.

  22. Hotaru-hime says:

    BISHOP DYNAMIC?!?! WHAT THE HELL!??!!

  23. ldwy says:

    Oh, he did go to work. Are we seeing the beginning of uncaring Walternate?

  24. Hotaru-hime says:

    S-W-I-T-C
    Yeah, it's Switch.

  25. psycicflower says:

    Peter and Olivia!!!!!! 😀

  26. ldwy says:

    How did Peter find her in the meadow???!!!
    Haha, Olivia wants to know too!

  27. Hotaru-hime says:

    Awww, poor baby Olivia. The only drawing that looked happy.

  28. psycicflower says:

    'It's the only drawing that looks happy' Break my heart a little more why don't you.

  29. Hotaru-hime says:

    *gasp* His mom! He said it!

  30. Hotaru-hime says:

    But, telling Walter doesn't save her!
    Even as kids, they are the cutest couple!

  31. psycicflower says:

    Little Olivia and Little Peter are so cute.

  32. rabbitape says:

    Mini-Peter has Big Peter's mannerisms down pat. That's amazing.

  33. ldwy says:

    Aww, snow! All kids love snow.

  34. Hotaru-hime says:

    Poor Olivia! Going back to the step-father!
    It's not right!

  35. Marissa says:

    GO WALTER!

  36. psycicflower says:

    Please let me be wrong but Walter you better not send Olivia back to her step Dad if she confesses.

  37. Hotaru-hime says:

    EVERYTHING IS TRAGIC AND NOTHING IS GOOD.

  38. Ames says:

    WHAT THE HELL

  39. ldwy says:

    Walter please don't send her home…..I'm so sad and teary.

  40. Hotaru-hime says:

    HOLY SHIT!!!!! She told Walternate!!!!!!!!

  41. psycicflower says:

    OMG wrong Walter!!!!

  42. ldwy says:

    WHOA WHOA WHOA She was seeing Walternate!! DUN DUN DUNNNNNN.

  43. Hotaru-hime says:

    YES WALTER! THREATEN THAT SON OF A BITCH

  44. ldwy says:

    Yeah, Walter. Thank you for speaking up.

  45. Hotaru-hime says:

    FUCK YEAH WALTER

  46. psycicflower says:

    You go Walter! And threats from government friends. Hells Yeah!

  47. Hotaru-hime says:

    Maybe Olivia crossing over made Walternate think of alternate universes.

  48. psycicflower says:

    Peter just accepting where he is. So sad.

  49. Hotaru-hime says:

    Poor Peter. It's not fair.
    I want him to go back so bad, but we wouldn't have Peter…
    SO TRAGIC

  50. Marissa says:

    SWITCH it is.

  51. Hotaru-hime says:

    Poor Peter… he chose to give up. Poor Elizabeth, having to live with this lie, this stolen son.

  52. ldwy says:

    As much as I can sort of put myself in their shoes, in that in the absence of a solution, it's in baby Peter's best interest to be able to be happy and comfortable where he is. But they're essentially brainwashing him. And you can see it's tearing Elizabeth apart. I bet this is the beginning of her spiral.

  53. psycicflower says:

    OMG he has Olivia's drawing!

  54. psycicflower says:

    Two weeks. Goddammit!

  55. Hotaru-hime says:

    Two weeks?!
    WHAT?!
    I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG

  56. ldwy says:

    Hahaha, interesting preview. He chimes a bell at Nina. Belly? No, it's still me.

  57. Hotaru-hime says:

    Did anyone see the Observer in this episode? I didn't…

    • ldwy says:

      I never see him. Because I'm oblivious. I have to watch episodes so many times to catch that kind of stuff. Like the bad wolf stuff in Doctor Who? Mark was picking up on it SO MUCH MORE than me. I was glad I had reveiws to come read that showed me everything I'd overlooked.

    • katherinemh says:

      No, but I'm betting he was somewhere in the toy store or outside when the police were there. I spotted him in last week's episode on my second viewing. It was the most exciting thing EVER.

    • VictoriaLeigh says:

      I think I saw him in Bishop Dynamic.

  58. psycicflower says:

    SPOILER!
    Anything that has not publicly aired WILL BE CONSIDERED A SPOILER.

    • rabbitape says:

      Seriously – I'm so sad I read that. Why did I expand the replies? Why??

      • psycicflower says:

        I was about to shut down my laptop to go to bed when the email came through 🙁 I've reported it so hopefully someone'll have deleted it before Mark sees it or too many others get spoiled.

      • psycicflower says:

        It's gone 😀 I'm deleting my own comment up top just in case cause people will probably be able to put 2 and 2 together given a spoilery comment was deleted after it.

    • katherinemh says:

      OH MY GOD, I AM SO SO SO SORRY PEOPLE. I WASN'T EVEN THINKING. I am so sorry. I can't believe I did that. I feel awful. Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry.

  59. katherinemh says:

    OH! By the end of the episode, Walternate, Bishop Dynamic, and #fringelivetweet were all trending on Twitter. Definitely in the US, someone said worldwide, too. So that's cool.

  60. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    36 MINUTES LEFT.

  61. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    FRINGE!!!!

  62. xpanasonicyouthx says:

  64. mkftweet says:

  65. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    Well, this is depressing.

  66. liis says:

    How doesn't Peter remember any of this?

  67. mkftweet says:

    wasn't expecting that from the mom

  68. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    Ok, so Walter actually intended to take Peter back the whole time?

  69. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    WHAT THE FUCK OLIVIA.

  70. VictoriaLeigh says:

    OH NO BABY OLIVIA! D:

    I just want to hold her and keep her safe forever. Heart. BROKEN.

  71. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    Hahaha, the Red Riding Hood commercial is hilarious.

  72. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    Child Peter is QUITE PERCEPTIVE.

  73. VictoriaLeigh says:

    Oh Little Peter breaks my heart.

  74. liis says:

    So incredibly fucked up that Walter lets Peter go on thinking he's mad.

  75. Openattheclose says:

    That opening was awesome.

  76. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    Child Peter is totally an ANGRY HIPSTER.

  77. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    BSG!!!!

  78. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    STOP HOVERING.

  79. mkftweet says:

    choose the battle star!

  80. VictoriaLeigh says:

    Awwwww!

  81. liis says:

    He never meant to. Of course he didn't.

  82. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    Wait, how is he writing to William Bell?

  83. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    There is no way a beta max looks that good.

  84. mkftweet says:

    beta max hehehehe

  85. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    Oh god, Walter, what did you do to Olivia? 🙁

  86. VictoriaLeigh says:

    Baby Olivia is so cute!!!!

  87. mkftweet says:

    this is awful!!!

  88. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

  89. liis says:

    I just… I can't… holy FUCK, Walter!

  90. VictoriaLeigh says:

    AIEEEEE! That scared me! Poor Olivia!

  91. Openattheclose says:

    Walter testing Olivia is hard to watch.

  92. liis says:

    UGH, Sprint, not again…

  93. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    OH SHIT WHAT IS LITTLE PETER GOING TO SEE.

  94. mkftweet says:

    gonna have a hard time liking Walter after this 🙁

  95. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    aw, shit.

  96. Openattheclose says:

    OMG Star Wars defense program. I think with Walter/Walternate on board it may have actually worked!

  97. liis says:

    Did I miss something about WHY Olivia going over would save the world? I shouldn't liveblog, I really shouldn't.

  98. VictoriaLeigh says:

    Where is she! Go find her, Peter!

  99. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    MAN, I feel more sorry for Walternate than Walter.
