Fringe Renewed for Fifth and Final Season by Fox! The old "Here's 13 episodes to bring your complex mythology to a satisfying conclusion" gambit! It's exactly what I wanted!
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.
'Underneath'
Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I knew there was no hope for a full pick-up, but I thought there was a pretty good chance of this. I think it's becoming more common these days, although the only other example I can think of is Chuck. I think it also helps that it gets the show up to the magic 100 episodes needed for syndication.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
It's exactly what I expected. Still... very happy they finally made an announcement.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Whew. Much as I love Fringe and would theoretically be happy for it to go on forever, I think having a set end date in sight will help get the story told with a satisfying conclusion.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yay! Ausiello kept saying that a final season was a safe bet, but I was still holding my breath.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Would this be the place to discuss "Touch", the new Kiefer Sutherland show?
Does anyone want to admit watching it? I'm afraid I'm getting sucked in. I need other people to tell me if this is a mistake.
