    This finale leads right off from the last episode with Nina Sharp getting shot and then Walter leaving with the Observer. This was definitely the best episode of the season. Things get really crazy as Mr. Jones returns and tries to get to the alternate universe to find William Bell. Well he isn't able to get there but at the end Olivia somehow manages to. She meets William Bell and finds herself in the World Trade Center. So 9/11 never happened! Wow. What a great episode. Also, we find Walter at Peter's grave somehow. This could explain why Peter doesn't remember much when he was young. Maybe he's a clone or something? This episode was fantastic and it closed out the season in a dramatic way. I can't wait to watch the next season.moreless

    Well, this as been a great episode. Walter disappearing and ended up at a beach house that Peter found him there. Trying to open up holes to get to the other side or dimension. Pretty cool to see another dimension even the twin towers were there was a great sight. Another mystery is Walter visit Peters grave, What?. Con: What I don't like is even though Olivia is getting answers, Peter is left in the dark. I would understand if he wasn't part of the team. But since he is it makes his character less of importance and it leaves Olivia to do everything alone. Which in my book is always sad, you can tell there is a lot Peter has to give but not yet seen his potential other than babysitting his father. I hope things change and get a team going on because watching other series having one star to solve all the world problems and save the world is unreal. We need a team of characters that supports the hero, not means to an end characters.moreless
  • Superb finale, with some questions answered and some new questions surfacing. Just enough to leave you satisfied whilst wanting to get on and watch Season 2. Essential viewing before ploughing into the next season!moreless

    Write a review without spoiling it for those that haven't watched it yet. Simple.

    A season finale is a tricky thing to get right, you have to answer all the questions you raised throughout the season, whilst keeping in interested for the start of the next - and they got this balance just right with this episode.

    First three episodes of the season I wasn't sure about Fringe at all. The nutty doctor, the mysterious son, the blonde FBI agent running around. C'mon! But if you're thinking about watching this series, stick with it - it's well worth it. You grow to like the characters, even a couple of the more obscure ones!

    There were some excellent edge of the sofa revalations - I counted three. The first was on the hospital bed, I didn't see that coming! The second was in the graveyard at the end - OMG! Finally, the last one was after Olivia's elevator ride in New York - I'll say no more.

    Brilliant Season, looking forward to Season 2.

    Don't ruin it ;-)moreless

    Walter disappears when the observer comes to pick him up at the lab. Meanwhile Jones is trying to cross to another reality to meet Bell and after 2 failed tries he finds the right spot but is stopped by a device Walter created lots of years ago that Peter activates to close the hole and kill Jones at the same time.
    Olivia's perception impresses Nina Sharp after she whitnesses as Dunham is able to see things that one team of hers after working for 2 years hadn't seen. That ends with Nina asking Olivia to meet her in a hotel in Manhattan. But when Sharp doesn't show up, Olivia lefts the hotel upset but while in the elevator she is transported to the other reality where she meets Bell in his Twin's Tower office.
    Another shocker of the finale is to discover that Peter actually belongs to the other side and that when he died when he was 7 Walter created a machine to open a hole and pick the other Peter because he couldn't leave without him.

    All in all amazing chapter and show!:)moreless
  • A great episode! But so many questions left unanswered! Warning, spoilers contained below.

    Well Jones is back, except he looks really bad now as the effects of the transportation are taking their toll on him. Walter is also found, and with the help of his son is able to remember something of importance which he was searching for. So we find out that there is another dimension, another world on top of our own, and this is what Jones is trying to get into. We also find out that Walter possibly took Peter from the other reality, and that's how he saved his dying son. Well we are not told this, but this is most definitely implied. We also finally meet William Bell, only Olivia meets him in the other reality. How I don't know, but that's how they leave the first season! They end it on possibly the biggest question yet. I great season, but damn, so many questions left unanswered!moreless

    • Injoke: As Olivia descends in the elevator, she is transported to the alternate Earth while she is between floors 16 and 15. These are two of the notorious "numbers" on J.J. Abrams' other show, Lost.

  • ALLUSIONS (1)

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Nina: The extent of my injuries were greatly exaggerated. This is a play on a variation of a famous quote by American author Samuel Langhorne Clemens (better known as Mark Twain): "The reports (or "rumours") of my death have been greatly exaggerated." The full and correct quote is as follows: "James Ross Clemens, a cousin of mine, was seriously ill two or three weeks ago in London, but is well now. The report of my illness grew out of his illness; the report of my death was an exaggeration."
