Fringe Episode 310: The Firefly


An Observer makes contact with the Fringe Team to help rectify a mistake. Meanwhile, Walter befriends Roscoe Joyce (guest star Lloyd), keyboardist for Walter's favorite 1970s band, “Violet Sedan Chair.” Walter will learn the real reason the band broke up, and realize that the lives of these two men, who have never met before, overlap in strange and unexpected ways.

Discuss the episode here in the comments.

  6. Really nice episode, because it pushes the story arc forward. Unfortunately into a frightening direction. It becomes quite obvious that the observers (which are finally back) do a lot more than only watch certain key events happening. Actually they have some kind of hidden agenda to assure that a specific future will happen. And I am getting the idea that in this future Walter is supposed to let go of Peter.

    The current season of fringe might be the final one, where all the loose ends are tied up. While this is a very sad thought because I like the show very much, the upcoming episodes will probably answer many open questions regarding the observers, the doomsday machine etc - which is basically a good thing, I guess.

  8. I wouldn't pack up the show just yet! In looking for something on this site a few days ago I discovered that we didn't get a confirmation that there would be a Season 3 until May 4th, 2010.

  9. Great episode!

    Nods to Back To The Future (Doc Brown), Terence McKenna (via Twin Peaks and Doctor Jacoby's specs), and The Wizard of Oz (If I Only Had A Brain).

    Time travel, psychedelics, and psychedelic time travel! Who could ask for more?

  10. Has 'Violet Sedan Chair' been discussed as possible anagram? I came up with 'Olivia's the Dancer" maybe some reference to episode Marionette? No idea what the metaphor is, maybe too much crossing between worlds has posed question of just how much of herself she's 'bringing back' each time? Ref to the girl at end of Marionette resurrecting but not as herself.
