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.

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 Review: In Absentia

Fringe: In Absentia

“They’ll pay for what they’ve done. I promise.”

And here we go! Last week, I wondered where we were headed—and if that was even the right question. Now the shape of the next few episodes, if not most of the season, is clearer. We have quest objects; we shall have a quest. In a convenient bit of storytelling, Walter has set up a scavenger hunt for the secret to defeating the Observers. Of course, that’s not the only goal of the quest…

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.

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 Review: Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11

“Resistance is futile.”

While we’re all sad that Fringe has only 13 episodes left, there’s something to be said for the showrunners knowing when a story is going to end, in time to craft a beautiful ending. In the past, one of Fringe’s strengths is that it forces us to ask questions. But its greatest strength has been that it reminds us that questions can change, as in last season’s switch from “will they or won’t they” to “who are they, and is identity a stable category?”

Fringe Episode 5.01 Review - Dandelion Wine

Transilience Thought Unifier Model -11

aka

Dandelion Wine

(The Simple Joys of Yesterday)

“Somewhere, a book said once, all the talk ever talked, all the songs ever sung, still lived, had vibrated way out in space and if you could travel to Far Centauri you could hear George Washington talking in his sleep or Caesar surprised at the knife in his back. So much for sounds. What about light then? All things, once seen, they didn't just die, that couldn't be.

It must be then that somewhere, searching the world, perhaps in the dropping multiboxed honeycombs where light was an amber sap stored by pollen-fired bees, or in the thirty thousand lenses of the noon dragonfly's gemmed skull you might find all the colors and sights of the world in any one year. Or pour one single drop of this dandelion wine beneath a microscope and perhaps the entire world of July Fourth would firework out in Vesuvius showers. This he would have to believe.”

Ray Bradbury

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.
