Fringe Teaser: Humanity's Only Hope

Here is an animated teaser for Fringe episode 503 "The Recordist".

However, Fringe's Ari Margolis (@jonxproductions) confirms that the episode itself is not animated:

Fringe Noble Intentions: "In Absentia"

John Noble discusses the video tape discovered in amber, in this latest episode of Noble Intentions, for the Fringe season 5 episode "In Absentia".

Fringe Observiews 5.02 In Absentia

Welcome to the Observiews for Season 5 of Fringe. I call them Observiews because they are more visual observations than deep thinking reviews, if that makes sense.
Screen caps from this episode are taken from fringefiles.com. Dialog is from fringepedia.net.

All observations are mine and therefore could be totally off the wall and/or wrong. I have not read or looked at any recaps or reviews. I could also have missed a few things, oh well…

4.12 Welcome To Westfield

OLIVIA: “What's she like? The other Olivia. I'm just curious.”
PETER: “I don't know, she's, uh -- she's driven. She's very, very stubborn. She doesn't like to lose. But she sees the best in people, even when they don't see it themselves.”

And just to eliminate any confusion of which Olivia I’m talking about I’ll quote Nina from
4.16 Nothing As It Seems.

NINA: “I suppose every version of you is stubborn.”

And this came to mind as well from 2.19 Brown Betty.

FICTIONAL PETER: “So what made you wanna be a detective?”
FICTIONAL OLIVIA: “I don't know. Uh, I, uh... I guess that I just always knew what it was I was meant to do.”
FICTIONAL PETER: “And what's that?”
FICTIONAL OLIVIA: “To care for people.”

Yep, that’s Olivia and Etta recognized all of that too… at least at the end.

Fringenuity Projects: Operation Ambergram

Some of you may remember last summer's Blue Moon Awards: an unprecedented fan response to yet another year of our beloved show going unrecognized for its brilliance in certain professional circles (coughEmmy'scough). In one of the first projects organized by Fringenuity members, a small group of fans commissioned their own awards and sent them to the cast and crew, recognizing them all for their extraordinary achievements in storytelling. Since this all happened before the birth of the social media campaigns, and long before the name "Fringenuity" was coined, the reach was rather small, and many people never heard about the project until after it had been completed.

But now there's a second chance.

Fringenuity is proud to announce a similar project, dubbed "Operation Ambergram". This time, the idea isn't so much to send "awards" as it is to send a parting thank you gift to everyone we can track down who had a hand in making our show over the last five years. Here's the original article detailing the project:


So here we are, drawing either too quickly or not quickly enough (depending on which second you ask) towards the beginning of the end.

What an incredible ride it’s been.

Fringe Review/Analysis 5.02 - The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree(s)...

No matter how dark the moment, love and hope are always possible.  - George Chakiris

The continuous 13 episode story arc was promised to be full of rich emotional moments for our beloved odd little family unit, and the premiere provided plenty of those. In Absentia, provides these, but I experienced feelings all over the spectrum of human capability.

Once again, we are immersed in the Bishop family picnic in the park outing. However, this time the idyllic setting is taking place from the perspective of Olivia. Some details appear to be different; as Peter’s dream has them lying on a red blanket, but Olivia’s version is green. (Green, green, green, red, anyone?) She, too, notices the building literally disappear in the city landscape background, and makes a run for her daughter just as the Observers phase into the timeline. Peter’s voice, yelling for Etta is very prominent, even as Olivia awakens, disoriented, in a makeshift hospital. Peter has never really been one to flip out, but he is so distraught over their missing daughter, that Olivia bolts out of her gurney towards him, calling his name…

Fringe Observer PSA: Wanted: Olivia Dunham

Here is the latest Observer Protocol video, and this is another "All-Points Bulletin" (amber alert?), warning people to be on the lookout for "national security threat" Olivia Dunham.

FYI: There is also some reverse audio that sounds like Olivia saying "What concerns me more is what they've taken away"

The Twitter hashtag #TrustTheTapes is also hidden several times, although the search doesn't reveal anything new... yet.

Fringe Teaser: Trust The Tapes

Fringe executive producer Joel Wyman (‏@JWFRINGE) has given us a new Fringe teaser that shows a tape of Walter presumably addressing Olivia (or all the Cortexi-kids). It sounds like Walter says:

You were chosen for this. This is you destiny.

Is watching old VHS tapes how Walter will try to get his erased memories back?

FYI, There are no hidden images or reverse audio in this clip, but there is the not-so-hidden hashtag #TrustTheTapes. This was shown previously in the last Observer PSA post as well, but no further information has been revealed using that tag... yet.

John Noble discusses Walter's memory, the effects of the brain scan performed by Widmark, and "hope" in this latest episode of Noble Intentions, for the Fringe season 5 premiere episode "Transilience Through Unifier Model-11".

Fringe Observiews 5.01 Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11

Welcome to the Observiews for Season 5 of Fringe. I call them Observiews because they are more visual observations than deep thinking reviews, if that makes sense.
Screen caps from this episode are taken from fringefiles.com. Dialog is from fringepedia.net.

All observations are mine and therefore could be totally off the wall and/or wrong. I have not read or looked at any recaps or reviews. I could also have missed a few things, oh well…

Finally, Fringe is back - with a vengeance. In my mind that was the best season premiere of all of them and just by this one episode the entire main cast deserves recognition. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Let's observe.

3.06 6955 kHz

FAUXLIVIA: "If you knew that only... one of our worlds could survive and if it was up to you, and you alone, to defend your side... You'd have no choice, right? I mean, you would have to do what you had to do... no matter the cost to protect... our world."
PETER: "There's always hope, right?"

There is Peter, there is!

FRINGE Analysis/Review 5.01 -- Hope Can Be Found in the Smallest of Cracks.

I am elated to be able to write some thoughts about this episode. This show has 12 more to tell an epic saga, and so far, so very good.


A Beautiful Dream Inside of a Horrible Nightmare

As the Fringe family of Olivia, Peter and their young daughter, Etta, enjoyed what Peter might call, “the perfect day,” I could not help but to smile. These precious moments of a happy family are few and far between on the show. However, there was also a conflicting dread, as I witnessed father and mother enjoying their precious toddler’s joy in her discovery of the effect that blowing air against a mature dandelion has on the flower.  Fringe fans everywhere probably felt the same, as we know when Peter and Olivia are happy, something's gotta go wrong. And the wrong that came has got to be the most gut-wrenching imaginable.
