Ok, I forgot about this and I am nowhere near a computer. This is being posted from my phone. LOL TECHNOLOGY. I’ll update this fully once I get home.
Y’all know what to do with these anyway. LET US LIVEBLOG FRINGE.

hmm, WHAT COULD THAT BE?
AAAAAAAAAAAAGH. I already had an incident this week where an inexplicable banging/crashing noise woke me up and I ended up calling the police to check it out while I locked myself in the closet. This will not make getting to sleep pleasant.
THAT'S TERRIFYING. what was it?
We never figured it out. Nothing had fallen down and there weren't any signs of forced entry, but it woke me & my cat up and was making her growl (which she never does), so I'm assuming I didn't dream it. I probably wouldn't have called the cops if there hadn't been a rash of break-ins at nearby businesses in the last month. I have never been so scared in my life, though. D:
I'm so sorry!! stay safe!
sorry :C Was everything okay?
YES!
okay, I'm ridiculous, but I was getting butterflies in my stomach earlier this evening in anticipation of this episode, and it's only getting worse. I AM WAY TOO INVESTED IN FRINGE.
Oh my god, I literally shuddered all over when that guy with the bloody doll appeared oh my god this episode is so creepy and Twilight Zone-y.
there's even blue in the text book
the fightin' bumblebees!
The school mascot is Killer Bees?! Eeeep.
all of this for pie
pie is life
UGH TOO MANY GODDAMN TEETH
Maybe they are immune if they are dead / were never born in the other universe? Just a thought…
Yes, I was just totally terrified the rest of the night.
what child made a giant spider? something is seriously wrong
what
that is not even science
I thought that was an ant. Did I miscount legs?
Either way, WEIRD
this is not the time to bring this up, but i miss kennedy
aww, bonding
tho it is kinda awkward to ask about yourself, olivia
I kind of love that every version of Olivia asks about her alternate.
TY! Yeah, I'm going to see if I can work on hooking up an alarm system into my budget.
guuuuuuys 🙁
I miss our Olivia
i have no idea. i just saw a lot of leg-like things and assumed it was a spider O_O
Okay, kinda weird you're comparing her to your mom
ikr i'd be really weirded out
Well, he made pretty explicit the fact that they are similar in that they are the two people who have made him feel happy and wanted in his life BAWW FOREVER.
I love Peter and Olivia always.
PETER. THAT SPEECH.

Our cheesy horror nights = Fringe. The writers love us, obviously. <3
were her eyes weird too?
Yep
In Philly? I wouldn't go that far…
omg who gave walter the PA system?
LOL walter.
…
you two
yes!! a venn diagram!
of doom
thank you, peter
so why is olivia merging with herself? is other olivia there too? by herself?
COMMENTED TOO SOON
damn
Olivia can switch over on her own because of her powers!
AHAHA oh shit
EARTHQUAKES!
yellow
OLI
OLI?
oh god, does that mean the glyphs will be DEATH MARCH OLIVIA?
stop, you're making me sad
let's just hope the writers are trolling us
they would…
You're forgetting last week's! Last week's was EMPATH!
Is it overlapping universes, or overlapping timelines? Olivia's memory was from the other timeline not Fauxlivia.
For the town, it's overlapping universes, but something different is going on with Olivia.
Ooooh, I think you're right! It probably has something to do with Nina's migraine inducing drugs.
That moment of her speaking gibberish sounded like she was having a stroke. That can happen with migraines, too.
See, I've been thinking of them as completely different universes, but maybe it makes more sense to call them timelines.
You're quite right – just easier to refer to it as a universe, I guess. Y SO CONFUSING, FRINGE?
i've lost count of how many universes there are. i count the different timelines as separate universes
I differentiate timeline because the Amber timeline includes both the red-verse and the blue-verse.
and how will they do that?
This guy in the coat is totally working for Jones. I CAN FEEL IT.
they're so adorable, working together!!!
phew, no fibonacci
why wouldn't the school bus battery be affected? why do i try to make sense of these things
because they need the yellow
"yellow is invincible" makes about as much sense as everything else in this episode. you're a genius!
It's too old to have electronic parts, maybe?
OMG THE MACE
DDDDDDDDD:
WHAT THE FUCK
HOLY. SHIT.
I NEED TO NEVER SEE THAT AGAIN
OLIV
that man is going to show up in my nightmares tonight, isn't he? yes, yes he is
they've just gone all out horror flick with this episode.
ikr. this episode is the definition of nightmare fuel
everything is yellow
Ugh are any of you on the East Coast getting news ads for the UVa murder trial, media how can you be so crass and exploitative. :||||
wait what? D:
It's one of those local media feeding frenzies that they sensationalize with ~teasers for the evening news because, you know, rich young white girls being murdered is entertainment apparently.
ugh stay classy, local news
mine is all BLIZZARD WARNING!
except that we'll probably only get 1-3". hardly a blizzard
Yeah, I've got winter weather warnings too.
we got stuff about the weather, too, but also the murder.
local news :/
so much red, blue, and yellow
It's a Jasper Johns painting!
it's like there was a supersaturated blue breaking point
very reassuring, walter
HOW DID THAT ONE ROAD SURVIVE
testing?
shit shit shit, he was behind it
i made crepes last week!!
Walter, stop making me hungry, I have no food left in my doooooooorm.
why can't they live together? booo
Awww, I love that they're getting friendlier.
haha, "friendlier"
lol I meant Walter. :D:
what if it's because he's being affected by his other universe self?
i mean, there's no reason for it, but what if?
woah
omg omg omg omg
this is weird
aw I think Walter's going to miss him
OLIVE
I DON'T WANT MARCH TO COME
I THOUGHT THIS MEANT THAT THE NEXT EPISODE WAS IN MARCH AND I WAS ABOUT TO FLIP OUT
THAT WOULD BE TERRIBLE
will there be another break at some point?
in March, I think, lol
RKRAEKGJKA
shit shit shit
The fact that this Walter is going to have to eventually say goodbye to our Peter is making me too sad.
are they back at the storage center from the pilot episode?
That is totally what it looked like.
I think so.
Looks like it! I love how they have incorporated S1.
OMG! What is happening!?
Okay, but but but Amber!Olivia/Amber!Our Lincoln 🙁
oo, raiders of the lost ark
melting faces will erase the horrors of Fringe
THE DATES
what!! where?
BRAVO
THEY'RE DIGGING IN THE WRONG PLACE!
i thought this part was THE COOLEST THING EVER back in the day
the part with the monkey, or the part with the staff that makes me think of ATLA and Aang and Zuko's awesome fusion dance?
also: back in the day?
the staff/map
back in the day = when i was a kid and was easily entertained
I was browsing my cable listings to make sure that a new Fringe was on tonight, and I saw that this movie was on. Oh yes, I DVR'ed it.
OMG CAN WE LIVEBLOG INDY?!?!?
lol, yes, i think so
LET'S DO IT!
seriously, poor little monkey
i miss young harrison ford
don't we all?
i think blade runner is on too
so much young harrison!
this is all because george lucas had to bring up the han shot first thing again
did he? i stopped paying attention to things he says ever since the prequels came out. he's dead to me
that's the best way of handling him, tbh
<img src="http://i40.tinypic.com/990ufc.jpg" width="600">
lol what a dick, jones
seriously. the orientalism is also cringeworthy
AND THAT HAND
still not as gross as two-faced dude
NOTHING WILL EVER BE AS DISTURBING AS THE TWO-FACED GUY
except maybe all of temple of doom
ugh, let's just pretend that the even numbered indy movies don't exist.
i completely forgot there was a fourth one until right now
*facepalm*
i can't believe i paid to see it. the things i'll do for cate blanchett and harrison ford
THERE IS NO FOURTH ONE
JUST AS THERE ARE NO PREQUELS TO STAR WARS
let us forget these terrible movies
Someone really, really needed to take George's toys away after a certain point.
SPIELBERG AND LUCAS MADE NO MOVIES AFTER 1993.
TEMPLE OF DOOM FELL INTO THE CRACK
ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED.
I would like for you to write all of the history books.
America's schoolchildren will thank me. There will be parades in my honor.
I'll get started on your confetti.
made out of the posters for the episodes i-iii rerelease
I would like to report this comment for being too awesome.
<3
and their 3d releases. i'm tired of seeing ads for phantom menace. jar jar needs to disappear forever
we'll hold a ticker tape parade for you
i'm sorry. let us never speak of them again.
SNAKES. WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE SNAKES.
UGH, THE JEEP SCENE WAS RETROACTIVELY RUINED BY THAT DAMN FOURTH MOVIE.
This is the best plan of all the plans.
EVERYTHING IS BLUE AGAIN
thanks go fringe i keep picking up on blue EVERYWHERE
it's all a sign!!!
Dr Belloq = David Robert Jones
O_O they're the same person
"snakes. why'd it have to be snakes"
xD
I LOVE MARION! (Marian?)
marion?? i think? I LOVE HER TOO!! i love the GIANT butt bow on her dress too, haha
(you were right the first time)
p.s. nice butt-flower on that dress, dude.
EVERY TIME i see the scene i'm like aww that's cute i gue…WHAT IS THAT ON YOUR BUTT?!
Me too! She starts to turn and I'm like, "Oooh, low back, how racy–BUTT BOW?!?!?!"
come on you guys, IT WAS THE 80s. LEARN TO LOVE THE FASHION TRAVESTIES.
her dress is surprisingly simple for the 80s! she needs the GIANT sleeves. ones the size of her head
nah, it came out just before the royal wedding, when the super-poofy sleeves became de rigeur
I'M KINDA SAD THAT I PUT THIS MUCH THOUGHT INTO THE HISTORY OF POOFY SLEEVES
I was about to say, "Princes Di sleeves?"
diana's wedding dress is everything i want in life
you should add a special section on poofy sleeves in your history book
they're in the forward.
SHE STILL HAS THE BUTT BOW
THE BUTT BOW WILL NEVER DIE
JUST LIKE ALL TERRIBLE THINGS
Indy has Shadowfax!
HE DOES!! but how he has a car
boo
does this mean indy is gandalf?
Snakes = the Balrog
whip = staff
Sallah = Gimli
the arc= the ring?
Belloq = Saruman
urrrrrrrrrrrgh
this movie does not hold up as well as Jurassic Park.
More proof that JP is the best movie ever
there's too much going on. snakes! propeller death! car chase! melty faces!
edit: sweet, spelled faces with a ph
new evening dresses for Marion :/
Ugh, I hate what they do with Marion's character, and it's even worse when I know that it could have been grosser.
i came here for melty faces, i ended up hating everything.
a successful friday!
WIN! and now every time i see indian jones i'll think of that god awful conversation between the producers
harrison ford is still beautiful, though
i'm partial to the floofy sleeves
The sleeves! They are foofy AND pleated AND have weird spankly squares on them!
Creepy guy doesn't like them either, obvs.
pfft, the french guy picked it out! why does he gotta hate on the American
the only point of peeptoes is for dramatic snake moments
Seriously. They are absurdly impractical for the desert.
ugh, i didn't even think of that. they are literally the worst shoes for the desert.
i don't get why she doesn't just take them off and go barefoot. she INSISTS on holding on to them
Well…it is quite a nice ensemble. The dress just wouldn't look right without them.
She shoulda used 'em to put a nazi's eye out. The only use for peeptoe pumps
lol i love how she misses the glass
me watching jurassic park last week
HA! I <3 you.
Not gonna lie, I love the coat hanger gag.
me too!! gets me every time
INDY THEME!
LIKE JURASSIC PARK, THE MUSIC IS ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF THE MOVIES
John Williams can do no wrong
also, sadly, we never played it in middle school band :C
neither did we! we played mission impossible, but no indiana jones
That part with all the skeletons made me cry as a little kid. 🙁
ME TOO. especially the one with the snake coming out of its mouth D:
This part with the propeller makes me cringe as an adult 🙁
this is truly a movie that grows with you <3
ALKSDJF;LAFJKAS FSO SO PAINFUL WHY
I've never liked the propeller part! The whole boxing/airplane interlude has never done it for me. It also makes me feel like they're making Marion look like she's not very capable? When she clearly is. It's the only, what, 8 minutes, of the movie I could do without.
ia. I could do without other parts, but I hate that Marion has to be rescued or look incompetent half the time. BAH.
it is pretty unnecessary
Ok, I am copping out on the rest of Indy so I can catch up with Fringe. It's not personal, I'm just full of bacon and it's making me sleepy.
Y'ALL ARE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!
SO ARE YOU.
Enjoy Fringe, it was awesome. Be sure to comment if it was freakier than the skeletons!
WOAH. So far it's definitely not freaky. I mean, not like the skeletons at least.
hey, it's Fringe. Everyone's happy for five minutes before everything goes to hell!
HELLO UNDERSTATEMENT
hahaha GLAD YOU LIKED IT.
HAHAH just you wait
Holy shitballs, that was an incredible episode.
Where is next week? I need it here now!
YOU ARE TOO!!!
have fun! IT WAS REALLY GOOD 😀
I AM REALLY INTO THE FIRST 5 MINUTES
GOOD, GOOD
OF COURSE YOU ARE, IT'S PETER/OLIVIA
GODDAMN PHANTOM MENACE 3D COMMERCIAL
lalalala, too busy watching jason wu's cartoon cat create a fashion line for target to see that monstrosity
the cat was so cute! reminded me of Jiji from Kiki's delivery service
and slightly more realistic than Indy staying on the exterior of a sub for a few hundred miles!
they just gave up by this point, didn't they?
better than surviving a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge.
WHY DOES MARION KEEP GETTING CAUGHT??!! i feel like every time lucas ran out of ideas he just went "…capture marion?"
FOR PLOT.
You know, I'm beginning to think that their good movies were just flukes. Like, they only managed to make these iconic films in spite of themselves.
Ah, you found it on your own. Yup. They're literally the worst.
My face when I read that = this scene
Seriously. You can't contain this bullshit to a single thread.
well, i'm off to bed to dream of men with 2 faces
good night!
haha, happy nightmares! good night!
Also, I decided to delete the comments about their convo, because I don't want anyone to unexpectedly happen upon this mess.
Fringles! I missed liveblogging with you!
I was having drinks with coworkers again, keeping an eye on the clock so I could gracefully exit after 8pm, when all of a sudden, popcorn with caramel and bacon showed up at my table. I had to make an executive decision, and I decided to stay with the bacon caramel popcorn.
it's okay, we understand it was a difficult choice.
BUT OMG YOU MISSED ONE HELL OF AN EPISODE.
I'M NOT MISSING IT! I'M HITTING "PLAY" ON MY DVR RIGHT NOW!
bacon, caramel, and popcorn you say? 😀
YES
And it was fancy, thick, awesome, salty bacon. We also got a "box of warm bread" (does what it says on the package) and it came with salty butter, which is way more life changing than it sounds.
that all sounds REALLY, REALLY GOOD
It really, really was. This place basically specializes in everything delicious and amazing.
Where? Where did you get such treats? What city and what restaurant?
HAAAAAAAAAAAA, oh my god, awesome fake out, totally thought that was going to be Peter having a sexy dream 😀
I wonder if his ears are burning?
Yeah, Olivia's tired because she's been chasing you through her dreams all night *BA DUM TISH*
"Chasing"
Is this a new euphemism you kids are using?
I still don't trust that machine tho.
Ahhhh, maybe you better not just stand there as that strange light plumits towards you…
CREEPY SMALL TOWN ALERT.
Let me guess, that pay phone won't work.
Waaaaaalter, it's not you, it's the creepy town, don't doubt yourself!
WAAAAIT a minute, creepy town just got creepier.
OOOOOOOOH, the universes are crossing!
Cliff is too insistant about gettting them to go the High School.
Olivia is remembering! 😀
ERRRRGH, two sets of teeth. NOPE, NOPE, no thank you.
SOON.
At least nobody has ended up with their doppleganger's face in their chest… yet.
And I spoke too soon.
FIVE MINUTES AHHH
HELP IT IS STARTING
HELLO SEXY TIMES
WAIT WHAT. WHAT THE FUCK.
OMG STOP DOING THIS TO ME FRINGE
Blue filter! and the season 1 lens flare!
