Fringe Observiews 5.03 The Recordist

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…

4.05 Novation

WALTER: "I saw him, Nina... the man. I saw my boy in that man's eyes. The way he looked that night in the ice... floating away from me. God help me, I... saw the eyes of my boy in a man's face. That filled me with... indescribable joy. But I don't deserve joy. For anyone else, this would be received as a miracle -- to get a glimpse of their dead son. Why should I be rewarded for what I've done?"
NINA: "Because maybe you've suffered enough. No, I can't explain it, Walter. I don't know why he's here. I don't know where he came from, but maybe you've just been given a second chance."

Walter is not the only one who received a second chance.

Fringe Review: The Recordist

“It’s not that I can’t remember. It’s that I can’t forget.”

One of the most memorable scenes in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 doesn’t involve book-burning at all, but rather book-remembering. Wandering intellectuals have taken it upon themselves to remember the best books, the most important books, so that not all will be lost, and there will be some hope for humanity.

The Fringe Podcast Episode 505-Feedback For In Absentia

In episode 505 of The Fringe Podcast we listen to fan feedback we received for the Fringe season 5 episdoe, “In Absentia.” We received a lot of great feedback and theories from first time callers and other folks that have called in before. We hear theories on possible tie-ins to ZFT, what might happen to Manfretti once he goes back to work, and how this episode had a lot of LOST and Wizard of Oz parallels. We also received feedback on the dynamic between Etta/Peter/Olivia and how Etta’s ruthlessness is somewhat reminescent of things we’ve seen from Peter and Olivia in the past. Other theories include what the Observers might be doing with children and whether or not one of the main cast members will die before the end of the season. Thanks to everyone that sent in feedback for this episode.
