The penultimate episode of Fringe saw Peter (Joshua Jackson) enter the machine, which transported him 15 years into a decimated future. As the very fabric of our universe is being ripped apart, Peter will attempt to prevent this grim future from happening. And along the way, lives will be lost (yes, that was plural!) Executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman answer burning questions about the finale:

Damn there are a lot of hints in that episode...
ReplyDeletewe already saw the flash death and peter lighting the coffin, the real question is if and/or how will liv and the others come back for season 4 will it just be a simple move back to the present or are they staying in the future longer???
ReplyDeleteI think they will be different as a result of what happens in these last few episodes. To have seen a glimpse of a possible future and know that maybe you can change it has to have some effect on all involved and what they are prepared to do to stop it.
ReplyDeleteFor instance, Olivia looked really pensive when she thought she might have to cross-over to the other side, now, she may be more willing to do so because of the future Peter sees.
That seems to me to be a more organic way of explaining what the John Noble said regarding our characters being slightly different.
They have seen a possible future and must now do whatever they can to prevent this particular future from happening. Even things they fear the most in doing, like maybe reaching out for allies in the AU.
i don't think they are, in fact, it seems like we'll be back to present day by the end of the episode. like they say they are showing a possible future in tonight's episode and season 4 will be about how to change the particular future we will be seeing tonight! so judging by what they say, we might see glimpses of other possible futures as s4 goes forward!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the End-of-Dayers succeed, they open so many vortexes making it impossible to sustain the universe and that's how everything ends in that possible future. After that we are teleported back to the present, where a death occurs.
ReplyDeleteThat would be dramatic enough to make our characters want to change the future or they would be doomed.
It seems from this interview that my theory was right :-D
ReplyDeleteI think the vortexes they open are them actually collapsing ambered areas.
ReplyDeleteThere is a scene where you scene an ambered area and it starts to go away.
I think that is what those cylinders do. They collapse already ambered areas and compromise the area where there was a vortex.
Yeah, that's probably some of it! good thinking!
ReplyDeleteI noticed there is a hole in one of the ambered areas, looks like a hole.
ReplyDeleteIt might be where they are hiding or it could be that they are collapsing the ambered areas. The picture is the one with a small creek flowing out of the ambered area.
