Mark Watches ‘Fringe’ Liveblog: Back To Where You’ve Never Been

OMG WHAT DID YOU FORGET THIS? Fringe is back on our television sets! That means it is ~crucial~ that we all sit our butts down and liveblog the hell out of the return of the best thing ever. I am already so full of emotions and not a second of this episode has aired. SO MANY FEELINGS.

Legit excited, y’all.

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 Internet. Go there.

The review will go up on Saturday, as usual. SEE YOU ALL FRIDAY NIGHT!

      In other news, David Fury wrote tonight's episode, and will also be live-tweeting during the episode, eastern and pacific! He is @DFury on twitter.

      Walter on a swingset will never not be amazing.

    • platoapproved says:

      WHY CAN I ONLY UPVOTE ONCE? I should be allowed one vote per gif that made me grin like a little kid. Which would be ALL OF THEM.

    • rabbitape says:

      Supremely awesome gifspam. I especially love the cartoon one. And all the other ones too.

      I'M SO EXCITED Y'ALL!

    • Hotaru_hime says:

      Yes you are perfect, Lincoln Lee, omg so perfect.
      What episode was it where Astrid hugged Peter?

      • fieldofwhitetulips says:

        I believe it's from "6:02 AM EST", before Peter gets in the machine the first time in his snazzy Massive Dynamic outfit.

    OH MAN, this is going to be the first episode of Fringe that I watch in real time. I marathoned all the episodes up to this point over winter break, I wonder how watching it episodically will ~change the experience. Probably just A LOT MORE TORMENT waiting between the episodes.

    • Iamwinterborn says:

      Who is the second gif from the bottom?

      I ask because I thought it was my friend for a second, who I totally would see doing that, and it looks like her as well… though sunglasses are covering the face, making it hard to actually tell.

    • Hotaru_hime says:

      Awww yeah, our queen Lady Violet Crawley. I only started watching Downton for her (although seriously that show is seriously addictive there must be subliminal messages)

      • cjeffery7 says:

        uhhhhh DITTO. Mark should probably watch and review Downton Abbey though i honestly dont know if he's even remotely interested in such a thing. and for all i know he'd rips it apart. it IS pretty pretentious, albeit incredibly wonderful and addictive.

  4. monkeybutter says:

    I'm tired and feel like death, but none of that matters because it's FRINGE FRIDAY! We finally get to see the half-season finale! Woo! I spent the Fringeless break rewatching season one and making gifs. HAVE SOME.

  5. Shiroikami says:

    I… actually did forget about this. I rely on my sister to remind me about these things.

    I feel like I've betrayed the entire Fringe universe/fandom by not even knowing that it would be back tonight… TT.TT

  6. carma_bee says:

    I am so excited to be back watching it with you guys!! 😀 (also I do need something to think about besides Sherlock, because I know it's going to kill me on Sunday)

    • platoapproved says:

      But then you run the risk of COMPOUNDING the effects of thinking about Sherlock with the effects of thinking about Fringe, too. Does that make the whole thing better or worse? Guess we'll have to wait and see…

  7. Hotaru_hime says:

    I hate everyone on the east coast right now who are about to get new Fringe in an hour! YOU LUCKY JERKS!

    • platoapproved says:

      As someone who has just recently moved to Virginia from California I REMEMBER THAT FEELING AND I'M SO SORRY.

      • Hotaru_hime says:

        I find that absolutely hilarious because I'm trying to get a residency in Roanoke and I'm currently in California! I hope to be following you soon (but not in some creepy, stalker-y way)!

  8. knut_knut says:

    I AM SO EXCITE! Also, the guy I sat next to on the train looked like he could have been Peter Bishop's brother

    <img src="http://i.imgur.com/PPRsa.gif"&gt;

    edit: this looks like such a creeper comment

  9. rabbitape says:

    I just rewatched the last 2 episodes to fully prep for tonight. My mother (who is staying with me this weekend) thinks I am a weirdo, but this is not a new sensation for her. She's retreated to the guest room and I AM LIVEBLOG READY. LET'S DO THIS.

  10. monkeybutter says:

    Glyphs!

    <img src="http://i56.tinypic.com/wk049g.jpg&quot; width="600">

  11. __Jen__ says:

    :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  12. monkeybutter says:

    Oh, that was cheesy as fuck, Gordon Ramsay. "Finally earned her wings." Guh.

  13. Marissa says:

    SO CLOSE.

  14. rabbitape says:

    These previouslies are making me tense.

  15. monkeybutter says:

    He's wearing pants!

  16. platoapproved says:

    APRON. I CAN'T.

  17. rabbitape says:

    Poor Peter. These dreams must be torture.

  18. __Jen__ says:

    Walter!?!?!

    OLIVIA?!?!?!?!

  19. monkeybutter says:

    Poor Peter is dreaming.

  20. Marissa says:

    Walter in that apron is PRICELESS.

  21. knut_knut says:

    APRON OMG

    this must be a dream, right? WHY NOT REAL LIFE

  22. Christina says:

    Omg, Look at Walter in that apron!

  23. firelizardkimi says:

    AHHHHH!!! IT'S STARTING!!!

  24. monkeybutter says:

    Okay, that was weird.

  25. firelizardkimi says:

    Oh, no, it was all a dream. 🙁

  26. __Jen__ says:

    So cruel to tease us like that. 🙁

  27. monkeybutter says:

    Use the pastries as a shield, Walter

  28. platoapproved says:

    Peter/The Machine, MY OTP RETURNS.

  29. knut_knut says:

    peacoat? is that you?

  30. rabbitape says:

    OH NO THE TEARS ARE COMING. WALTER!

  31. Marissa says:

    That isn't fair of them to put happy Walter in apron right before super sad Walter.

  32. __Jen__ says:

    So many tears. ;_;

  33. platoapproved says:

    ;____; Sad soundtrack you understand how I feel.

  34. firelizardkimi says:

    Walter: Breaking hearts forever

  35. rabbitape says:

    Dying to know why Nina's been knocking Olivia out.

  36. __Jen__ says:

    Her migraines. D: I had forgotten about them.

  37. monkeybutter says:

    She's wearing all black again

    • knut_knut says:

      she's wearing all NAVY. Totally different 😛

      • monkeybutter says:

        I am shit with dark colors, lol

        • rabbitape says:

          I can't tell navy from black unless they're right next to each other. Which is why I often wear navy skirts with black blazers. Tres chic. *facepalm*

          • monkeybutter says:

            It takes me a loooong time to tell the difference. Dark green can be bad, too. I did well on this test (which probably means nothing), but I can't handle darks.

          • knut_knut says:

            I thought she was wearing all black too until she stepped into the light.

            Well, navy and black are both neutrals, so it's ok! right???? I'm the kind of person that wears black and brown together because I can't be bothered to give a fuck when I'm getting dressed early in the morning -_-

  38. firelizardkimi says:

    What's the deal with Olivia's migraines? Are they part of the ripple effect created by Peter's disappearance and subsequent reappearance?

    • __Jen__ says:

      Nina and her crew have been secretly wiping her memories. The migraines are a side effect.

      • knut_knut says:

        wait…is this true?

        • __Jen__ says:

          Yes! Well the memory wipes are possibly part of the side effect as well, and they might be doing something else to her? It's not terribly clear.

        • rabbitape says:

          Having just watched the last episode, I can confirm that is what the dude said as they were injecting Olivia. She won't remember a thing from the last 2 hours, but she'll wake up with a hell of a migraine.

          AND NINA WAS LOOKING ON! DUN DUN DUN!

  39. knut_knut says:

    i KNEW it would be kennedy!

  40. firelizardkimi says:

    KENNEDY!

  41. monkeybutter says:

    oooooooo

  42. monkeybutter says:

    Shoulda brought her waffles, too.

  43. knut_knut says:

    this is a very beautiful group of people

  44. monkeybutter says:

    Liar

  45. rabbitape says:

    I don't think you're being completely honest here, Olivia. You sneaky lady.

  46. knut_knut says:

    please no bathroom monsters

  47. platoapproved says:

    This can only end in tears.

  48. rabbitape says:

    LOL public bathroom humor

  49. platoapproved says:

    Just climbin' a bus, NO BIG DEAL.

  50. __Jen__ says:

    Shapeshifters on the loose in the red!verse? :O

  51. knut_knut says:

    shit these shapeshifters are intense

  52. firelizardkimi says:

    NO, COMMERCIALS, GO AWAY.

  53. monkeybutter says:

    Another death by bus. Where's that montage of people getting hit by buses when you need it?

  54. @chuckLiving says:

    so are these shapeshifters from a third universe???

  55. __Jen__ says:

    Evil Brandon

  56. __Jen__ says:

    Oh shit, the shapeshifter tech is coming from someone else.

  57. rabbitape says:

    This is an intriguing development!

    AND AN INTRIGUINGER DEVELOPMENT!

  58. monkeybutter says:

    huh

  59. rabbitape says:

    I have a sudden urge to buy a Nissan. Seems like a good car. Lots of features. Modern.

  60. monkeybutter says:

    Today's product placement: Nissan

  61. monkeybutter says:

    And I'm tired of this song.

  62. platoapproved says:

    The product placement is so horrible, PRETENDING I CAN'T SEE IT.

  63. __Jen__ says:

    LOL they actually showed them driving and mentioning distances.

  64. rabbitape says:

    YEAH YOU DO LOOK GOOD YEAH

  65. monkeybutter says:

  67. __Jen__ says:

    SO ADORABLE.

  68. rabbitape says:

    YOU FUSS WITH THAT HAIR OLIVIA. GET SOME GIRL.

  69. monkeybutter says:

    Lincoln, I love your face

  70. firelizardkimi says:

    I forgot that Peter killed someone like that? Also, how adorable are Kennedy and Olivia in this timeline?

  71. platoapproved says:

    "I killed a guy like that once" lol Peter way to be a creeper.

  72. knut_knut says:

    what's with sci fi shows and opera houses? hmmmmm

  73. rabbitape says:

    LOL. Poor Kennedy. Never prepared.

  74. monkeybutter says:

    Lincoln, totally adorable

  75. knut_knut says:

    ugh did not need to see

  76. rabbitape says:

    Groooooooooosssssss

  77. firelizardkimi says:

    Why is Walternate so intent on keeping everyone out of his investigation of the new shapeshifters. DOES HE KNOW SOMETHING? OH GOD OH GOD WHAT IS HE DOING?

    J

  78. monkeybutter says:

    J

  79. monkeybutter says:

    Someone stole a puppy at gunpoint?!

  80. rabbitape says:

    Makeover makeover makeover makeover MAKEOVER!

    (Only makes sense if you've seen Clone High.)

    (And if you have seen Clone High, I'm sorry for getting that jingle stuck in your head.)

    Edited to add video context to my reference. (Makeover jingle about 55 seconds in.)

  81. Marissa says:

    Okay, so does Walternate not command these shape shifters then? If he feels the need to cut them open?

  82. platoapproved says:

    Local news item during the ads: PUPPY STOLEN AT GUNPOINT. Seriously, Virginia? SERIOUSLY?

  83. @chuckLiving says:

    in st louis we have day old news about snowstorms

  84. firelizardkimi says:

    Nice bluff, Kennedy.

  85. knut_knut says:

    lol oops…

  86. monkeybutter says:

    Oops

  87. Marissa says:

    Thank god Lincoln didn't burn his hands in a fingerprint mutilating way growing up.

  88. rabbitape says:

    Way to front, Kennedy.

  89. __Jen__ says:

    OH SHIT.

  90. monkeybutter says:

    You're gonna get yourself killed Kennedy

  91. monkeybutter says:

    Fauxlivia looks like Anjelica Huston

  92. platoapproved says:

    He has a "knack for deception" …and then my brain goes to OH GOD IS HE EVIL OR A SHAPESHIFTER, IS THAT FORESHADOWING, OH GOD.

  93. rabbitape says:

    I love watching Anna Torv be another Olivia.

  94. monkeybutter says:

    ruh-roh

  95. knut_knut says:

    NOOOO

  96. firelizardkimi says:

    Uh oh, now they're caught.

  97. platoapproved says:
