I've searched through the Open Forum and didn't find a Fringe thread, so I thought I'd start one. I hope that's ok with you, Glitter. And if there is a Fringe thread, um . . . oops. I only did one search. Don't know how much rabid interest there is in this show.
After last night's episode, "Peter", my interest has intensified, and I think I'll be searching the interwebz for forums and information hubs. I've always liked this show, but this last episode was the best one, I think.
We've known, for a while, that Peter was from the alterniverse. Last night we got a major payoff to all the clues. I was a little disappointed that we didn't see Belly. They explained his absence very well, but I would have liked to have seen what kind of makeup/CGI work they'd have done to his face. They smoothed about 10 years worth of wrinkles off John Noble's face (as opposed to the required 25); I wonder if they would've just stuck a screengrab from a Star Trek movie over Nimoy's face and call it a day. Blair Brown claims she showed a picture from a 1981 movie and told them to make it happen, but it looks like they put her in a longer wig and used the same CGI effects on her face as on Noble's. And to minimize the cost of the CGI, they kept her in dark sunglasses most of the time.
I joke about this stuff because there's nothing to complain about. It was just an excellent story, with the best re-tooling of a title sequence I've ever seen.
I have one question though. Now that we've seen this, can we assume that "the Pattern" is a series of consequences due to rips in the fabric between parallel universes?
