FRINGE IS BACK!!!!!! After an agonizing wait (and one HELL of a season three cliffhanger), it’s time for us to (hopefully) start to find out WHERE IS PETER BISHOP? Oh god, Fringe, I have missed you SO MUCH.
Alas, despite how unbearably excited I am, I cannot see “Neither Here Nor There” until TOMORROW MORNING. I am going to be in a car on my way down to Los Angeles tonight because I’m going to a wedding on Saturday. Ew, my friends are growing up and doing love things. GROSS COOTIES.
I’ll still have a review up….probably Sunday? It might be delayed to Monday, but either way, it won’t upset next week’s normal review schedule. It’s just an extra review! PARTY!
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.
ENJOY!
YAY FRINGE how I have missed this show. Definitely need to rewatch the last few episodes to refresh though.
AHH I marathoned this show in the past month. I just finished the last episode yesterday and I am so so so excited for the new season.
OMG you like Fringe too? It's the only thing I have now that Torchwood has ended for the season:(
Yay Fringe! I'm so excited to see what they do this season! Also, this seems like a good place to mention that I loved seeing Anna Torv at the Emmys. Now can they maybe nominate her (and Lena and Michelle) for one?
And on a personal note, haha yes, I've had a lot of those "omg my friends are all getting married I am a grown up what is this" moments. I hope you have lots of fun!
Totally agree about the Emmys (and the noms).
Yay! And wow, I wish there were more sci-fi in the new USA fall season of television.
Me, too. But seeing as how so many sci-fi and other hour-long dramas have failed in the fall over the past few seasons, I'm cautiously optimistic about them as mid-season replacements. Awake counts as sci-fi, right?
To my knowledge Awake is being officially counted as sci-fi, in any case. Even if he is hallucinating or something, I feel like it'd still probably have the spirit of scifi given parallel lives/worlds. And then there's the upcoming Alcatraz. So I'm hoping those turn out well.
I just want more sci-fi. I mean, I'll take cancelled sci-fi over no sci-fi, but I don't really understand why this genre specifically doesn't pan out well most of the time when fantasy still does well enough.
I wish I knew why, too. It might be because it's more niche than even fantasy. Or maybe because it's usually darker and people don't like that?
I am so excited!!! I've been watching the blog for updates and broke out into a sweat on Wednesday when there was still no mention. Then, last night I saw a Fringe preview on tv, and today the blog update. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'M SO HAPPY!!
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
FRINGE!
I have coffee and ice cream, I AM READY!
Oo, ice cream…I can eat and type! I think!
you can do it!
I just dropped my spoon.
you don't need a spoon, we won't judge
Two years in a coma and her son ran the restaurant into the ground? Hell's Kitchen sounds like a soap. (poor lady)
Yessssssssss! It's starting!!
SO EXCITED! I missed liveblogging Fringe here!
Holy shit, Fauxlivia.
Peter flash!
lol I COMPLETELY forgot the 2 universes were sharing a space or whatever and couldn't figure out why the 2 Olivias were talking to each other
OLIVIAS! FUCK YES.
Also, the Olivias are amazing and I love Anna Torv forever.
It totally comes across as two completely different characters. She's magical.
Yup. Again: all of the Emmys.
Yellow starting!
new intro??
Yellow!
LINCOLN LEE!! LASJDF;LKAJS;FLAJKS
AHHHHHH! I'm gonna have to find this opening again tomorrow!
Those theories about the recurrence of red, blue and yellow were right!
in CT!! which is where I am! I WILL FIND YOU
ASDFDEFBHSD LINCOLN
Toast is delicious, Olivia/Toast 4eva
minus all that butter please, that was kind of nauseating
Yes, no drowning toast.
Lincoln. :DDD
Lol I see that all of my comments are going to be me squeeing over everything
That would explain all of those head colds
It's JFLAN!
I'm amazed at Lincoln's glasses-keeping-on prowess. And everything else about him.
WHAT THE FUCK
Holy crap what is wrong with his face.
Astrid on the scene!
Astrid is on location being awesome!
Lee and Olivia <3
Asterisk/Asteroid/Astro! How I've missed you! <3
The observers are everywhere.
Soooo, everything is different?
Olivia seems a lot more self-assured, btw.
She seems more like she used to before she started to open up with Peter, Walter and Astrid, with an extra dose of self-confidence.
Yes, she's definitely back to that Robot State she was in for most of season 1.
can Lee please brush his hair over on his right side? It's very distracting
Looks like a hair piece at certain angles.
I know, it's kind of weird and I can't stop looking at it
I just can't stop looking at him!
Walter!!!
So, you can't be trusted either?
Not a disconcerting conversation to overhear AT ALL.
I love that Lincoln just grabbed the dead bird barehanded with no hesitation.
Zombie doves. Awesome.
NOOO!! the poor pigeon!! 🙁
Okay, nm, it's redead.
Oops, I think I was paying attention. It's A-P so far, right?
I keep forgetting that Peter got erased from history and that he's not around anymore (or back yet) 🙁
same here 🙁 I keep going HMMM something is missing…. oh yea, Peter and his glorious jacket 🙁 🙁 🙁
Yeah when Lincoln said that Olivia doesn't know what it's like to have a partner… 🙁 YOU USED TO OLIVIA! my creys
I know right? 🙁
THAT WAS SO SAD!!! D:
Fringe is a bit of a tragedy without that peacoat.
lol Walter is very demanding.
hmmm, this monster reminds me of the very first one I think from season 1 (I think…I can't keep them straight)
Poor Astrid.
Lol poor Astrid. :D:
Aww, Season 1 "fuck the world" Olivia!
Tonight is the awkward loner episode. Awkward loners named Olivia.
BROYLES!!!
Yay!
I forgot how much I missed this show :')
I know, I feel like I'm falling in love with it all over again, especially since the characters seem different.
I am so smitten with Lincoln.
Same, I hope he's around as Olivia's partner for the entire season.
A-P-P
Star Wars commercials give this little burst of happiness and then just make me angry when I think about how much Lucas screws everything up.
haha me too! I was really excited and then I saw Ep 1 Anakin and then remembered Lucas fucked everything up ARGH
lol every five years he returns to ruin your childhood again.
he's like a Doctor Who villain
Observers being creepy and having powers FTW.
noooooo
lol I'm sure he's still not the weirdest guy that shopowner saw that week.
lol Walter. He's still himself.
Or, something more terrifying…
Poor Walter. 🙁 🙁 🙁
Is Peter THE MAN?! 😀
Oh! Peter!
I feel silly as hell for not immediately realizing that.
Do we know yet how all this went down without Peter?
I'm glad Walter still wanders around naked
Peter was Walter's tether. ;___;
Okay, one revision: it's the episode of loners and no pants.
Olivia is very tan.
YES! that's what's different! Is her hair darker too?
I think it is a bit darker!
I think her roots are more visible? I dunno. She's definitely got a coat or three of spray tan, though.
the neon pink lipstick isn't helping very much
And the aqua shirt. I think her hair might be a little strawberry blonde instead of ash, too.
Focusing on the important things, as always.
Not a heavy-handed moment AT ALL.
but funny
I really like that they brought up what happens to the victims families. I never really thought about it before
METRO IS EVIL I ALWAYS KNEW IT.
Blargh fingernails. I just gagged a bit.
So, before this episode I didn't think there was anything more unsettling than gangers. Glad to see I've been proved wrong!
I think that was an E, so A P P E? Appear?
OOOOO!! That's probably it!
Haha a commercial for a Lincoln…….
damn I thought she was talking about Peter
Aww, Lincoln I love you so hard
AGREED! That little nod was so great. 😀
Lincoln, you are so adorable! I'm glad you're here <3
Oh shit oh shit oh shit
FUCK YEAH.
OH SHIT.
WHAT IS GOING ON
APPEA
Are these a new kind of shapeshifter, then?
you were right!
\o/
Well done!
Then what's the point of you?
"You mean from China?"
"No, not China"
lol
lolol
Okay, I don't want to blame Walternate right away. Could other people have been brought over at the same time?
This is so thrilling! 😀
well this must be awkward for Lincoln
Oh god, duh, that's why they need the heavy metal.
Lol Lincoln's face.
awww Walter!! sleeping in his office <3
So sad. This is barely better than the mental hospital.
Okay, so the crossing over was only in that room? I guess I missed that!
Also: weird.
lol Poltergeist
petergeist?
<img src="http://i55.tinypic.com/2gybrmb.gif">
Seriously, though, can that be his fan name?
it works way too well, it better be
Oh Joffrey, how I want to punch your little face.
But I agree with the sentiment. 😀 It definitely should be.
I see your Joffery smirk and raise you a slap.

nyooooo i knocked my coffee over!
PETER. 😀
Dammit, no one's going to believe Walter.
APPEAR makes a lot of sense now.
Yay glasses!
