AKA - The Day The Music Died
Excerpt from:
Bye, Bye Miss American Pie by Don McLean
Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: Jack be nimble, Jack be quick!
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil’s only friend.
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No Angel born in hell
Could break that Satan’s spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing,
"bye-bye, Miss American Pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
Sometimes a story can only be fully appreciated when the very last few moments play out. A tell tale sign of a well constructed story. Such is the case with the Season 3 Finale of Fringe - The Day We Died(TDWD). The ramifications of those last few moments are so staggering that one could easily keep going past this episode and head all the way back to the pilot to re-examine everything we have witnessed to date.
This finale marks a watershed moment for the Fringe series. This is very similar to the Season 3 Finale of Lost where an anguished future Jack screams at Kate that, ‘We have to go back.’
So does Fringe.
