LOOK AT THAT TITLE. My fellow Watchers, we are not at all prepared. Join the rest of this community in liveblogging Fringe as it airs live! PARTY PARTY PARTY!
Oh, Olivia with toast. Will you reappear this week?
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.
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
DO. NOT. POST. SPOILERS. This community is not the place for that. You have the rest of the fucking Internet. Go there.
See you tomorrow night!
WHAT DOES THAT TITLE MEAN?
I feel like everything is going to get more confusing this episode. Exciting!
WHAT DOES THAT TITLE MEAN?
MAYBE THERE WERE LOTS OF SAM WEISSES? MAYBE HE IS A CLONE! OR A HIVE MIND!
…actually, I just watched this show in one weeklong burst that just ended a few days ago, so I have no earthly clue.
THERE IS MORE THAN ONE OF EVERYTHING.
MAYBE HE CAN TRANSFER HIS CONSCIOUSNESS TO OTHER BODIES?
Yeah, I dunno, it could be anything! And I'm impressed by your marathoning powers.
And I'm impressed by your marathoning powers.
Why, thank you! They're among my many dubious talents. 🙂
(Talents like procrastination. Which is why I spent a week mostly watching Fringe instead of writing papers. Oops.)
It took me eight days to catch up to 3×09. Yeah, I binge watched the show too. SO MUCH FUN.
So is "The Last Sam Weiss" like "My Last Duchess"?
!!! So excited and perplexed by that title!
PS I also took one look at that gif and said, out loud, "oh man, I like toast."
Yup, gonna go make some now.
Olivia Dunham, YOU INSPIRE ME.
All across the country coast to coast
People always ask what I like the most
I dont wanna brag, I dont wanna boast
I just tell them : I LIKE TOAST
I think I'll make some toast before the episode starts. 🙂
Looking forward to see what part in the scheme of things Sam (the bowling alley operator) plays. Just remember alternate world only had half the DNA needed for the machine.
Forget the title, look at that mustache.
<doesn't even watch Fringe, retreats to ATLA>
EXCELLENT COMMENT.
Can't wait- this weekend and next weekend will be awesome, with new Fringe and new Doctor Who!
I can't help but seeing Sam Weiss = Samwise, it's just there in my face. But obviously this does not stop me from looking forward to the next ep at all.
You guys, less than half an hour!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT
YAAAAAAAAY
FRINGE YAY!
Poor Walter!!! ALL THE TEARS
The camera angles are weird. Also, poor Peter & Walter. 🙁
Of all the times for intensedebate to decide I need to log out and in again. Anyway, WOOOO!
I love you Astrid!
Tapioca pudding! True temptation!
Astrid, you are brilliant and perfect.
trufax
TRUFAX.
SNAP!
Hello there, car commercial.
the dooooors
!!!!!! Whoa his arm hair!!
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!
Did anyone else think that was a commercial?
Because it was, for Ford Focus.
Excellent use of "Riders on the Storm."
Fucking hell!
Hello product placement.
OH MAN MY STOMACH
Masshole drivers…
I have a sudden urge to by a Ford Focus.
I will look for local dealerships on my new Sprint phone…
If only we had a swanky new tablet to take with us!
Sadly, I lent mine to a grieving friend.
Holy shit. D:
I can't think of a better thing to do in an electrical storm than to climb to a high spot.
If only he'd be holding a tall metal pole, too.
OR A KITE, WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT, WALTER?
Seriously. I was like, OPEN AN UMBRELLA, DUDE; THAT WILL MAKE IT EVEN BETTER.
'Fringe is sponsored by the all new Ford Focus.' You don't say.
Also, was that a webcam on top of Peter's monitoring equipment? What kind of hospital is this?
Thank you, The Most Interesting Man in the World. O_o
How much do you know Sam?!?!
No Olivia, you can't trust Sam. Didn't you read the blackboard.
WHOA.
How can a machine be frustrated?
WAIT, it's not a doomsday machine?!?!
I love her WTF!face.
Oh, it's NOT a doomsday device? Would have been good info to have previously.
Wait, it can ACT like a doomsday device??
SAM YOU ARE SO MYSTERIOUS.
Very reassuring, Sam.
Think isn't good enough when it comes to Peter's life Sam.
Oh Astrid, I love you.
Oh hell no.
Astrid, you are a boss. <3 forever.
Go Astrid!! Way to be awesome!!
Never change Astrid. Never change.
To get his kite?
Oh, so Sam's not an immortal.
omg Walter and a kite.
Not the first Sam Weiss???? :O
HE ISN'T A FIRST PERSON?
Sam Weiss is a family of descendants!?!
Aw, they're just descendants.
This is very Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Even moreso now, with the rock/vase/closing gate thing. If only there'd been a whip and a fedora!
Olivia would totally rock that look.
WORD. That scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark in the marketplace, where Indy shoots the guy with the fancy bladework, like "Screw this, I'm taking care of business"? That's our Olivia, totally.
I want this crossover now. Walter=Sean Connery?
Tell me this fic exists somewhere.
F yeah Olivia!
WALTER AND A KITE. OTP.
Drugs are going to be jealous. More for Rose though,
HOLY SHIT! Did he just get struck by-!!
WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING?!
Phew.
Ostrich! Bless him!
LOL Ostrich
Peter? You woke up!? OH MY GOD
Well, that was easy enough.
I was not expecting Peter to wake up so soon.
Peter, wtf is wrong with you?
UMMM THE FING NEWS JUST INTERUPPTED THE SHOW HERE. DIE LOCAL FOX AFFILIATE.
If I wake up in a hospital bed, I will never be BAMF enough to just rip things (that might be keeping me alive) out of my arms. At least not before crying for a nurse or something. Why do movies and TV think this is normal behavior?
This is a good question. The idea of just ripping an IV out makes me pretty queasy as is. D:
The idea of having an IV in the first place makes me squirm. It's a needle just left in your arm!
Seriously. That shit HURTS and leaves a pretty powerful bruise.
Out is easier than in. It still wouldn't be my first inclination after waking up in a hospital bed with what has got to be a killer headache, but to each his own, I guess.
Or is he not really awake?
Scratch that.
That's a lot of burns.
Peter, do you not know who you are?
Amnesia? Are you kidding me?
Oh no, PETER!
peterpeterpeter
First letter: M
That is a lot of lightening. The machine must be really pissed.
I can't help but think that while it's activated, there is no consciousness to control it.
Why would you fold down the corner of a page of a perfectly good hardcover? Have Amazon people ever owned a book?
Folding down corners is a pet peeve of mine. I'm still not sure I forgive my brother for doing that to my Harry Potter books. Thank god he gave up on LOTR.
Did you guys all see that Hardees commercial? Was that Summer Glau, when they said "hot models?"
If I was Olivia, I would be seriously, seriously pissed that Sam has just been hanging around with all of this knowledge.
Okay, I do love pea coat Peter
wrong city…
That would be insanely expensive.
Just hesitatingly handing over a credit card.
Walter is going to freak out.
I had the same thought! He is going to be crushed by guilt.
Does he think he's in the other universe and that the Fringe division is there?
Or is that where Massive Dynamic and the machine are? I don't pay a whole, whole lot attention to geography on the show, since they can get from Boston to everywhere else so fast.
That must be it
Do we know where in NYC the Massive Dynamic office is?
Won't leave her museum unattended in a disaster, I automatically love that woman.
I'm not sure how to take her "Be considerate," though. Yes, protect the artwork, but they're risking their lives going in. Maybe you should tell them just to be careful?
There was a guy who got struck by lightning seven times in his life. I forgot how he died. Wasn't lightning though.
Thank you for having Astrid use her in intelligence.
I'm glad this isn't really happening, because I'd be screwed. D:
The tear is matching up with alt!verse! I wonder how bad things are getting over there.
Walter is doing a demonstration!! 😀
How are you going to move the machine?
Astrid is on the case!
Oh God, he's going to get hit by lightning!!
Oh good, he's not dead.
"I work in a bowling alley"
lol
A wild pikachu attacks!
Yup, that's the key
The last bit of instructions.
OH MY GOD
M-U
GET THE FUCK OUT
Uh, what.
OHMYGOD!
The First Men ship Olivia/Peter
As they should.
The one true OTP.
Just when you were wondering where Sprint had gotten too, two ads in a row.
Maybe it's Altivia, because she's the Babymama.
Why is no one asking about Peter?
Man, Sam Weiss was so mysterious and now it's just revealed he's a normal guy.
Wait, is it Olivia or Fauxlivia?
They would have the same DNA, but Olivia is the only one with Telekinesis.
Also: no bangs in the drawing.
In fairness, Walter, it could be just doodles.
FUCK YES CORTEXIPHAN POWERS ARE BACK.
I love cortexiphan powers! (and kids)
They are some of my (many) favorite things!
She can't go back.
Wait, Olivia has to cross over and turn off the machine?!
Wait, what?! THIS IS CRAZY
Okay, that's less scary/deadly
