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!

OH MY GOD SHE RECOGNIZED HIM.
why does every heartwrenching moment have to lead right into a commercial!!!??? 4 years later and I still am not used to it. I wish all of these commercials would disappear 🙁
This is heartbreaking.
Peter's mom. 🙁
Peter's mom, you are KILLING ME.
Oh Elizabeth. SUCH A BADASS.
She's so fabulous.
i'm so glad she's back this season!
WHAT IF Walternate isn't evil?
DO AS YOUR MOTHER SAYS
Mrs. Bishop, you are AWESOME
You don't seem too genuine Walternate.
Peter was nicer about Walternate's acting skills than I was.
Don't muss the pea coat, guys
Peter's getting manhandled quite a bit this episode.
>:)
i love lincoln's sass 😀
NO ELIZABETH DON'T GO. DON'T LEAVE PETER ALONE WITH WALTERNATE…. and she's gone
i have a feeling that peter isn't getting back to his universe soon
PETER AIN'T FOOLED, YO.
don't stab peter with that, please
Monitor, spy. Tomato, tomahto.
This device is…not enticing.
it's got all these spiky bits. can't be good
WELL NOW WHAT'S UP
IT WAS SO MUCH WORSE THAN I EXPECTED.
at least it wasn't peter?that looks like a shapeshifter thingymabob.
mabey
WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT I DON"T UNDERSTAND.
Peter, why are you letting him get so close to you with that strange device in his hands? WHAT DOES THAT DEVICE DO?
Somebody punch Brandon, please
agh this seems so bad after the fact D:
Fuck that, I got exactly what I wanted. I cackled.
ow it seems he's evil
it's all ok
On it!
– Walternate
I knew he wasn't a bad guy. 🙂
why so stern, brandon
NOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT
PRAISE R'HLLOR
NO SERIOUSLY WHAT
HOLY FUCK. ;laksdjf;lksajd;lkfsadkjf;laskdjf
JONE
Maybe Jones?
It definitely is
alkdjsfl;ajksfd!!!!
OH SNAP SON.
You are so fucked up, Walternate.
I love it.
Welp, that's why Walternate didn't want anyone around when he investigated the shapeshifter. Things are starting to make more sense.
okay so its not either world. are the observers sending them in?
so walternate isn't evil?? I LOVE THIS
Oooh, is Peter gonna spend some time with Fringe on this side? Do a solid for Walternate while Walternate works on his problem?
What a nice bonding moment! Well, nice considering.
Aww, Walternate's eyes are tearing up
A third universe?
:')
Duh
And aww
Well, I don't know if you were wrong wrong, Peter.
Aw, that was kinda nice, Walternate!
A tender moment with Peter and Walternate? Who knew it was possible?
wait, so is this walternate the same as last season's walternate? or is he a different one? too many universes!
I thiiiiiink this alt-universe is an alt of our alt-universe. So, no, he's not the same as last season.
MAYBE.
so we have our universe, alt universe, alt-our universe, and alt-alt universe. is that it? i feel like i'm missing one or five
Yes. I think.
The only other universe would be the "gray" one from when Peter first got in the machine and went to the future, then came back and made the bridge. (And then disappeared, and we all went "NOOOO!")
RIGHT! and there was the 80s Fringe, but I'm not sure if that counts as a new universe
We need a flow chart up in this mother.
seriously. someone get on that, please
It's a little easier to think about there being two universes, and now two timelines, so there are (generally speaking) 4 sets of characters that we have to keep track of. Over here, over there, and both of those universes in a timeline without Peter. So yeah, as clearly seen in the episode, this is a different Walternate than the one who started the machine last season, who has had a different life without Peter's existence. This is speculation, but since Olivia didn't go through the cortexiphan trials for any period of time, I think this Walternate never would have had Olivia to flash over and let him know what happened to Peter the night he was stolen, and so I think his path was a little more grounded in helping his own universe than destroying another.
^LOL everything I just wrote makes absolutely no sense.
I'm really starting to fear for Kennedy in that closet. Hard to defend yourself if you're cuffed to a pole.
He is right, Lincoln. Have faith in your other self.
Please don't let this Broyles be a shifter.
Damn evil Broyles
WHAT
wtf broyles, wtf
NO BROYLES WHY
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
HAHAHAHAHA THERE'S OUR BOY
WHAT?! BROYLES IS PART OF IT? AND WHO WAS THE BRITISH DUDE?
He was a big villain from the early seasons, the dude that Peter mentioned killing in this episode.
OH SHIT IT'S MORIARTY FROM SHERLOCK HOLMES
/David Robert Jones from season 1 HOW DID HE GET HERE WHAT IS GOING ON?
Must now rewatch season 1 and 2
I had a very confused moment of No Andrew Scott is … no wait more than one Sherlock Holmes adaptation at the moment. (I may be obsessed.)
Daaaaaaaamn
Fffffffffffffffffffffff
The hell
Observer! Wow, that's creepy.
Hehehe the first meeting?
Oh great, because shit wasn't freaky enough yet.
