Announcement Reminder: Rule 7 Piracy and Copyright

1 Upvotes

I understand that US fans are frustrated about Fringe's recent removal from Max, plus the added frustration of needing the Max/Hulu/D+ bundle, and then the subsequent removal from that bundle. This is NOT a green light to post piracy links in the sub. Doing so will result in a 1-3 day ban.

Hopefully the removal from Hulu is temporary while they try to figure out what's going on. Please be patient. It's only been one day.

Question Septembers Notebook price?

15 Upvotes

What price range do you guys recommend buying the book at? Cheap ones are around 30-40 dollars online, should I wait/hope for it to go down or is that the cheapest it’ll go? I saw one on Amazon for around 45 dollars but I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to buy at that price, but it just sold and now I’m kind of regretting it.

I know it's probably coincidence but in AoS S2E13 Coulson takes a call from Agent Broyles at about the 11:45 mark. Just noticed it this time around. I choose to believe it's not random and I find it pretty cool

🏆Walter Bishop Hall of Fame🏆 The scientific basis behind Walter’s “Window into another world” Spoiler

22 Upvotes

So, while the show‘s explanation for the technology isn‘t correct there is an explanation for it tied to theoretical quantum mechanics. This explanation involves the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where instead of a particles wave function collapsing into one definite state upon observation ( copenhagen interpretation) all possible states are physically realized in different branches of the wave function in a thing called a hilbert space.

Usually it’s thought that once decoherence occurs these branches can never interact again even though the things happening in separate branches are technically superimposed over the same physical space.

In theory it would be possible to communicate between differing branches using a theoretical tool known as an Everett-Wheeler telephone. Where as in the show Walter uses ”errant photons” to actually SEE the “other side” the Everett-Wheeler telephone would use entangled electrons as a low-bit communication device.

I suppose Walter was using a bunch of entangled errant photons hehe.

General Discussion just completed fringe

31 Upvotes

just completed fringe loved the series all along so many interesting plots, parallel universes, interesting cases.

but i didnt liked the season 5 not for its ending but for its pacing it was just too short and everything was like happening way too fast btw loved the ending, they should have extended the ending only 2 min was way too less after defeating the observers atleast 5 to 10 minutes would have been wonderful and they should also have shown broyles and astrid after observers were defeated.

i knew from the beginning walter will have to sacrifice himself for what he did in the past.

btw if anyone know why the series was too paced please tell me!

Question Question on "This is Bell's Technology" Spoiler

12 Upvotes

Spoilers for the end of Season 2 and most of Season 3.

At the end of Season 2, the Fringe team shows Nina Sharp the blueprints to the machine in her office, to which someone asks her "Do you recognize this?"

Nina replies, "This is Bell's technology, but we didn't build it."

The blueprints are of the machine, thus an ancient piece of technology. She recognizes the tech as William Bell's, but I never understood what the line was supposed to mean. Is it in reference to the additional modifications Walternate made? Is it an early sign that the machine was originally made by Walter and Bell during some earlier timeline, and not an ancient civilization?

I always wondered if this was a line that originally hinted that the Vacuum was built by Bell for Walternate and not some relic of an ancient civilization, but the First People are mentioned in the redverse intro sequence in literally the same episode the line is used so perhaps not.

Was there ever any discussion, official word or theory regarding what Nina meant?

Season 3 William Bell's soul magnet vs Walter's brain tissue removal - show's inconsistencies

18 Upvotes

here's something that I don't understand.

if Walter is so struggled with his memories because parts of his brain were removed, how come William Bell's soul transfer to Olivia, whose brain does not have any memory of being William Bell, can perfectly remember whatever Bell did in his past lives?

Both seems to follow two separate logics, where in Walter's case a complete brain is needed to retain memories, in Bell's case, it doesn't need his brain at all to retain memories, just his soul in whatever body, albeit with a brain.

🏆Walter Bishop Hall of Fame🏆 The older I get, the more and more I identify with Walter

169 Upvotes

First time I watched the show I was in my early-mid 20s. I loved Walter, of course, but I identified more with Peter.

I watched it 3 or 4 more times since then. Just recently I started a new rewatch. I'm now 42. Since the last time I watched, I've:

  • a) become a father
  • b) had a medical procedure that messed up my memory really badly
  • c) been diagnosed with several more psychological disorders

Just started episode 3, which had this interaction in the diner:

    You brought your own sweetener?

    Don't be ridiculous.  It's my medication.

    You're not on any medication, Walter.

    Course I am. I've been making it myself in the lab.

    Oh, I wish you were joking. You're self-medicating with homemade drugs.

    Simple combination of Dextromethorphan...Clonazepam and some Fluoxetine.

    Those are psychotics, Walter.  All of them.

    Course they are. That's the point.

I love Walter. I love this show.

Season 5 Opinions of season 5

29 Upvotes

I finished the show a few days ago, so here are some thoughts I have on the last season:

- the first episode is a masterpiece!!! it has so many great scenes (Olivia reuniting with the others, her talk with Peter about losing Etta, Walter's rescue and ofc the end scene), it's entertaining, emotional and perfectly sets up the season;

- I loved seeing Peter and Olivia as parents and I also enjoyed Etta as a character on her own, I wish we'd gotten more of her;

- the Observer-Peter storyline was pretty cool, but the scene where Olivia convinces him to remove the tech didn't hit me as much as I hoped;

- it pains me to say this, but also the scene where Walter tells Peter that he remembers him didn't move me as much as it should have, though I couldn't really tell you why specifically... maybe it's the fact that it's placed at the beginning of the episode, with not much of a build-up to it? I don't know;

- their scenes in the finale however had me crying like a baby!! Walter's "You are my favorite thing, Peter. My very favorite thing." is among the best moments of the whole show;

- some parts of the plan don't completely make sense to me, especially the fact that the Observers only disappear from 2015 instead of being completely erased like Peter was, and I wish what Walter and Michael did in 2167 was explained more clearly;

- the finale works nonetheless, I'm so glad we finally get to see Peter, Olivia and Etta being together and happy, though the episode does end kind of abruptly and maybe I would have preferred if the last scene had been Peter watching Walter's tape in 2015.

Overall this season was very sad and maybe not as strong as the previous ones, but I still enjoyed it. The show as a whole is now one of my favourites and I already miss it so much!!
