good night sweet royal family
All spoilers for the series finale, don't click if you haven't watched.
[sp]Alright, I want to be clear up front that Fringe has been some of the only TV I've had the patience to watch in a long time, and this finale hasn't changed my feelings toward the show as a whole. It's still one of the best I've seen.
That said, a lot of this was sloppy. Starting off, I was fine with them making another trek to the other side, in fact I've been hoping for it since the bridge closed last season. But I'm disappointed, all we see is Lincoln and Folivia? No Charlie? No Astrid, no Broyles?
It feels like an opportunity missed especially since the only point of it was to let us see the other side again. I'm fine with them appearing hardly older, as if a little grey hair was all they needed but it was lackluster for the most part. And they keep changing how cortexaphan works, that's annoying.
If Walter going with the boy was always the plan, what was the point of introducing the twist with Donald wanting to go? Yeah, I get the character motivation behind it but then what. It made no difference, Walter still went. It felt like filler and a weak attempt to illicit an emotional response.
Which I'm not even sure they got because they replaced that so quickly with Peter and Walter's long look at each other before they went through the portal. (The music box while all the fighting was going on and time rapidly running out was a little much though. I mean, come on.)
The build-up to Walter's leaving was good, I teared up when Walter was explaining the plan to Peter. Their relationship has always been a high point for me in the whole series and I'm glad Walter got at least part of those memories back.
Glad Broyles didn't die, but he should have figured out they were on to him a long time ago. I mean, he's a smart guy.
I wish they'd stop bringing up that white tulip. It was perfect for the episode they first showed it in but they've used it too much now.
As well, I assume the Observers mission still occurs, since if time reset and the observers never existed then Walternate would have never been distracted from saving Peter's life and then Walter wouldn't have had to go rescue him himself, thus saving the universe from ever having been split open or whatever in the first place. But it must still happen, since that still happens, and Olivia and Peter still get together.
Anyway, I'll probably remember more when my thoughts have settled down but those are some gripes. I hope none of you think I'm bashing the show needlessly, I'm not. And writing series finales is pretty damn difficult, so the fact that they managed to do it at all is pretty good.
Oh, and GENE. I missed that cow.[/sp]
A great last episode, I was so afraid they were really going to botch the ending.
Well
Good Night Sweet Prince :(
Sad to see it go, but it's rare that a show gets to do a proper ending.
Wow that was sad
[QUOTE=IpHa;39276318]Sad to see it go, but it's rare that a show gets to do a proper ending.[/QUOTE]Yeah sometimes they aren't able to plan ahead and just leave on a cliff hanger which I hate, (eg SG:U and 'V'). Luckily Fringe and Chuck had proper endings.
[sp]The show began with Walter taking another man's son through a portal, and so it shall end.[/sp]

Oh my. That was certainly a great finale and best of all I don't appear to be having any withdrawal symptoms. Yet.
