I just watched the Fringe finale! OMGWTF!Disappearing Peter??

First impressions: The Watchers at the end reminded me of the angels from the Wings of Desire-verse.

It was a fifteen year leap into the future, but I was surprised that Olivia's niece was an agent.

Astrid with straight hair was hot, but wrong.

What is up with Broyle's eye?

I wonder what inspired the Viking style funeral? Is it a new cultural norm in this future?

In the "thank you" video, Josh Jackson was cute and thoughtful for thanking the crew and seemed enthused about getting another season. So, I don't think he's leaving.

I was shocked by Walternate's statement to Peter that he wanted him to experience loss like he had.

As a parent that goes against any instincts I have felt or seen in other parents. Usually it's too much at the other end of the spectrum making sure the children don't know any of the unhappiness that the parents faced. Sometimes, leading to extremely spoiled children who can't handle adversity, but setting the parenting aside, I don't think making your children suffer is a normal reaction. eta to clarify: The kind of suffering that Walternate was talking about when he meant killing people that Peter loved. Not the time-out kind of suffering. We still enjoy that.

If Peter never existed and they don't remember him, I'm interested to see what they think is the reason for starting down the path of crossing the universes and starting the rifts.

I adore the actor who plays Walter. He changes character's so completely that I am sometimes afraid Walter will stand up straight, assume a more powerful stance and say he was Walternate all along.

I was sad that Astrid couldn't be there for him in his lab. I understood the reason. The straight hair isn't my favorite, but it still worked for her. She's gorgeous either way.

We did still see Peter in the redverse episodes early in the season. I don't doubt that he'll still be present in some way.

I am starting to see the brilliance in removing Peter from inter-universe "peace talks". He is the original point of contention. Cooperation and collaboration may be more likely when no one is trying to win him.

As to Josh Jackson's sweater, I kind of love that he chooses that when the girlfriend isn't around to dress him. [link] (around 4:45)

Conversation on twitter just now between Steven Moffat and Neil Gaiman:

f Walter sent the machine and the original First People transcript back in time... does that mean Walter is Rambaldi?

Because I missed this the first time through: Bwahahaha!!!

Well, that was OK.

Ha ha, yeah, basically. That...sure was an episode of Doctor Who with pirates. Who became SPACE pirates!

I liked the "healer gone wrong" plot better in "The Doctor Dances." This one didn't make much sense.

I didn't get Rory's hand cuts equating to him drowning once off life support.

Or why she was "saving" them without really saving them. Except suddenly all the crew seemed to fine except Tyhpoid Boy

I didn't get Rory's hand cuts equating to him drowning once off life support.

When he got knocked overboard, the Doctor said he was drowning.

Rory was drowning when the siren got him out of the water.

For most of the crew, the only health problem they have were their nicks and cuts, which they could heal on their own. The exceptions were Rory (drowning) and Toby (Typhoid). It's weird that none of them chose to go back onto their own ship (although, I suppose, becalmed is bad).

I didn't get Rory's hand cuts equating to him drowning once off life support.

He was drowning because he was drowning when the siren transported him to the med center to save him.

What the hell she was doing with the pirates who were PERFECTLY FINE except for a little cut is anyone's guess.
