Made me want more. Made me hope that this would eventually be merged into the series arc.

QUOTES (7)
ADD QUOTES-
Opening Title Roll: They came from the future. At first, they only watched. Arriving at key moments in human history. We called them Observers. But in 2015 they stopped watching... and seized control. Citizen uprisings proved bloody and futile. Those who survived became known as "Natives." In an attempt to show their allegiance, some Native factions became "Loyalists" and were marked by the Observers. The original FRINGE TEAM fought the invasion, but was quickly defeated. FRINGE DIVISION was allowed to continue at a reduce capacity, but only to police the Natives. The resistance was quickly overcome... or so they thought.

Simon: Well, I'll be a toe on a foot in a grave.
-
Broyles: Windmark. What did you do up there in the future... to get yourself such a crap detail?
Windmark: I like animals. -
Etta: We just removed you from amber, Dr. Bishop. You were inside twenty years.
Walter: Twenty years? It's no wonder I'm so hungry. Do you have anything to eat? -
Walter: Have you seen it?
Simon: Monkey feces? No. I cant say I've had the pleasure.
Walter: I wouldn't say that it was a pleasure. -
Walter: I've eaten it once. It was sweeter than you'd think.
Simon: Feces?
Walter: God, no. Brains. And LSD. I love LSD. -
Simon: Dr. Bishop, we're going to inject that solution into the base of your brain.
Walter: Oh, fun.

ADD ALLUSIONS-
Walter: I am not a number, I am a free man!
