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.

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!

Observer Talk

Hello, welcome to a new feature on Fringe Television, hopefully this will be a weekly post for this season, but that really depends on the Observers !

I want to start analysing the Observer language from each episode and seeing if there is anything it can tell us.

First though you will have to go though an Observer Langauge primer to understand why it is so interesting

The Fringe Podcast Episode 502-Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11

In episode 502 of The Fringe Podcast we break down the Fringe season 5 premiere entitled, "Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11." We talk about the new feel of the episode and how this season will likely be different from previous seasons. We share our thoughts on the cast of characters for season 5 and how they are still very similar to the characters we've seen in previous seasons. Darrell offers up two new theories on the Observers and William Bell. Clint shares some real world science that relates to what we saw in this episode. And, of course, we discuss some of the powerful scenes from this episode and the amazing work the cast and crew did.

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.
