After a fantastic episode last week, I’m even more excited to continue on the journey that is season four of Fringe. This week, STUFF HAPPENS and I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS, because I don’t read spoilers. OMG EXCITING. Let us liveblog the HELL out of Fringe!
YESSSSSS. Thanks for all the new people who joined last week! Tell your friends to participate in these liveblog parties. They are so fun!
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.
GO, MY FRINGIES. GO FORTH AND BLOG.
Yay, Fringe liveblog!

I completely forget what happened in the preview of this week's episode, so I have no idea what to expect! I hope Kennedy's back, and I'm really liking what they're doing with Olivia. Oh, and I wonder how Walter's terror about the Petergeist will evolve in this episode.

I always love reading the liveblog comments. I wonder if I'll ever be able to actually participate in one. 🙁 Tonight I am going to be murdering heretics and aliens in a tabletop RPG called Dark Heresy. I will be thinking of all the weird and wonderful shit happening on Fringe though.
WHAT IS THIS GAME!!!! I WANT TO PLAY!
Oh Mark! ALL OF MY LOVE is going to you right now for wanting to play Dark Heresy! I will try to be as succinct as possible (which may not be possible at all).
Dark Heresy is set in the Warhammer 40,000 (also known as Warhammer 40K) universe. Essentially, we are shown the universe 40,000 years into the future, where EVERYTHING IS AWFUL. Most of humanity worships a God-Emperor who is essentially a corpse kept alive through horrible daily sacrifices of thousands of people from many many worlds with psychic talent. Humanity is now fighting a constant battle against aliens (called Xenos in this setting), people who worship Chaos gods, and heretics who turn to witchcraft.
Dark Heresy is an RPG that puts players into the roles of human agents working for the Inquisition. It is a branch of the church that looks for heresy and burns it out (quite often, literally burns it out WITH FIRE). The agents are tasked with specific missions. While it is nice to actually succeed in the missions, what usually happens is the players just struggle to survive.
Using the first mission provided in the core rulebook for the game, it is entirely possible for the entire party of players to be WIPED OUT. Our group lost two characters and several limbs
It's pretty gory and REVELS in the grimdark-ness of it all. There isn't a whole lot of "happy" in this game, but our group has a lot of fun with it.
And now I am super curious. Mark, have you played tabletop RPGs in the past?? If so what and did you enjoy it?
I assume the liveblog is on East Coast viewing times right? Alas, I'm on the West Coast…so I'll shall have to stay away.
Nope!!! It's relative to you. So you can join me at 9:00pm. I just avoid reading the comments and comment away in the box at the bottom!
Well, next week's Kitchen Nightmares looks intense. :D:
Anyone else liveblogging this evening?
hello!
yay!
o/
howdy!
Hey!
i love him! so ridiculous
yay! hello!
Hi! 😀
My roommate watches Fringe with me every week but she only started watching at the season 4 premier, so it's fun to watch it with her. I have to explain some things but it's good, lol
Is it just me or does this actor always play untrustworthy characters?
William Sadler? Watch Wonderfalls for a different kind of character.
I've been meaning to watch that anyways! I will add it to my queue. 😀
So Walter's not completely free.
And Olivia and Astrid have to report on him? Ouch.
i want to give walter a hug
Oh Walter. 🙁
CREEPY.
God, don't look behind you! Run!
Not into the creepy abandoned building!
Never run in the scary tunnels that lack exits. D:
THE STASH? how old are these kids?
You read my mind. He's a bit young to have a stash, right????
kids these days *shake head*
Twelve, I think. Things I never thought about when I was that age…
Excellent, I'm already creeped out!
Was that a plant?
yeah, it looked like roots
That's what I thought. A flesh eating plant! Excellent
I love all the different concepts that show up in the credits. Also, Olivia in glasses.
Forgot this:

Thank you!

i love how kennedy matched his tie to olivia's shirt
Kennedy's hair is slightly better.
i know! 😀 exciting
HOLY SHIT. That's fast decay.
Walter is PISSED.
OMG I love ranty Walter
I was just going to say that he's the best, but I say that about every kind of Walter. Well, except Walternate.
Very true. But he's really good at being a terrible human being. John Noble for all the Emmys, as usual!
First letter is R!
I love Field Agent!Astrid. 😀 😀 😀
Me too! 😀
I love everyone out in the field! R!
is this paranormal activity?
Jeff Bridges!
scented candles!!! ilu, astrid!
She's so resourceful and adaptable.
Oh no, Broyles is looking in on Walter 🙁
Nooooo, not a good time Petergeist!
Seriously. 🙁
Yeah, but did you hear what he was saying? "I'm right here Walter. I want to come home."
He was saying important things, and I could only hear some of them because Walter was trying to drown him out!!!
No I missed it! Poor Peter! Gotta dl this episode and try to figure out everything he was saying!
🙁 🙁 🙁
Sun?
Olivia and Kennedy look a lot more terrifying in a school.
AHAHAA WALTER WTF
I'm in love with Olivia. She's so great.
lol Walter I love you
Walter, you do not inspire confidence.
Great with kids!
that kid is a million times braver than me
WHAT he remembers having a son??
Yeah, Peter didn't disappear into the crack Rory-style, he just died in both worlds. Or after Walter brought Peter to our world.
haha I keep forgetting that- all my sci fi shows are merging into one!
I draw the line at Walter marrying Astrid's daughter from the future.
Walter's sad face makes me tear up every freaking time. ;____;
lol jk wrong peter
HAHA scented candles save the day!
It is a plant!
Holy crap spore body
The thing of nightmares. D:
DON'T EXAMINE IT NOOOOOOO
E
Why are pathologists always eating near bodies…
I just notice that your icon is Fionna and Cake, right? That episode was so great. 😀
Yup! So great!
R-E!
I still haven't seen Green Lantern. I've seen all the Marvel summer movies at least 3 times each though.
i haven't seen any of the marvel summer movies yet 🙁 I'm so behind! Maybe I'll just do an epic marvel movie marathon one weekend
You should! I really enjoyed all of them and as a result have been completely sucked into the world of comic books. 😀
uhhhh isn't it bad if they go down the sink?
Oh god, it's in the sewer system.
Do not want that growing in my body.
Ha! The sun the kid was drawing!
FLAME THROWERS!!!!
Olivia goes straight to the big guns.
i know! Olivia just keeps getting better!
Just nuke the damn place why don't ya
damn i thought aaron was going in for a hug
Maybe the kid will hear Peter!
TIN HATS!
omg i want walter as a friend!!!
omg the hats
He's telling him the entire story…wow
Welp, that explains when he died.
That's what I had assumed happened. It's nice to know for sure though.
Walter </3
that was so sad 🙁
omg what
The kid and the plant are bonded. WTF.
It's part of Aaron
Was that an A or a B?
I missed it. 🙁
Poo
Pretty sure it was a B
Thanks!
Oh, Walter.
Justin Timberlake, Pete Campbell, Scarecrow and Neil Caffrey all in one movie? WTF.
I think this movie has the best random assortment of people: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1313139/
What is that cast? 😀
Glorious.
i'm having a hard time picturing JT as an action hero. He will forever be a member of NSync to me
Frosted tips and all
Good Lord, those frosted tips. All the girls were in love with him and I was like, "Look at his hair! WTF is that?"
I know! I spent way too much time side-eyeing my friends about boy band members. And yet, JT didn't have the most embarrassingly awful hair.
Chris.
When it came down to it, the only ones anyone really cared about in NSYNC were Justin and JC. Joey and Lance probably had their own followings, but Chris… I always forget him. His hair, his outfits… 90s to the max.
lol it's best to block out those memories. And I had a friend who was a total Lance fangirl, so I know they exist. Joey on the other hand….eh.
LOL same.
did it fall in love with his drawings??
is it his guardian fungi? that's kind of cute except when it kills people
That made me laugh more than it should have.
Poor kid.
I like Walter and Aaron's sad, curly-haired bonding
Me too. <3
Psychic fungus. Awesome.
HE NAMED IT GUS!!!
GUS!
lol Kennedy picked up on the name fast. I like how he's unfazed by this.
PETER
Walter. ;____________;
Walter can't bear seeing another little boy die. Don't do this to him, Broyles :c
reborn?
Oo, I like that.
oh god Kennedy, you really are from CT -_-
Kennedy, you look like an IT guy
lobotomy? Walter, haven't you learned not to perform brain surgery?
Maybe he hasn't…
I've been wondering if he still did the brain surgery thing.
Yeah, he doesn't seem as…flaky? I can't think of a good word to describe it.
APPARENTLY NOT
WOW that's an infestation
Why aren't you guys wearing HAZMAT suits?
the fuck
That is so horrifying. D:
KENNEDY NO
Nooooooooooo
You know, this monster is kind of reminding me of the alien from Fear Her.
He even draws! But no Olympics.
omg watler and aaron!!! <3
And now everyone is crying (including me).
I can't stop thinking about Gus from Breaking Bad. Who is a million times more terrifying.
KENNEDY I LOVE YOU
lol Kennedy ilu
