If it has already happened, no, no need to spoiler font.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's kinda weird--an IO9 Fringe viewer who highly prizes himself on being the most cynical of viewers who will never be fooled by writer/network shenanigans said that Olivia 2.0 failed, so they had to bring Anna Torv back.
Was there ever a point at which you felt she'd left the show? I was kind of surprised at the suggestion that killing Etta and putting Olivia back front and centre were retcons forced upon us by an uncertain writing crew who didn't trust any of their decisions.
Meanwhile, all I can see is someone who fell for a feint that never even happened...plot aside, Anna Torv leaves the show, you know. And that hadn't happened.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Did I miss anything important?
I think it was just the reveal that Walter had brought the kid there, and then some looking for the right door. Maybe some other beginnings of things that you got the endings of, so you probably know what you need to know.
That's a very peculiar interpretation by that io9 person, ita. Especially as everyone knows this is Fringe's final season, which makes me think that, if anything, the plot is more planned out than ever.

What are they going to do? Respond to fan or network pressure?
Nah, man--this is the bird flipping, free of consequence run like no other.
And you don't fire your leading lady.
Some people have so much invested in being the clever cynical one, they don't pause and think things through. I'd rather have the right mot than just a bon mot.

Nah, this person is smoking their own monkey crack.

So not only is the Science channel running the Firefly marathon, they're going to be running Fringe, as well.
Is Science the new SciFi?

Oh -- as long as we're on the Science Channel, they're running a series of science-gone-wrong-or-at-least-awry 'recreated dramas' called Dark Matters -- with John Noble as the presenter with his really lush voice intoning the narrative.

TWD: The Governor's town may be eviiiiile, but at least they're listening to me about the possibility of zombie traps -- solar-powered noise-makers with conveniently placed pits dug nearby.
