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.

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 Promo: Fringe Reborn on Science Channel

Here is a new promo for Fringe Season 1, which will begin airing on the Science Channel starting November 20th.

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.
