    Last season was Olivia's and the original character was in like a little more than half of the episodes. I am sure they won't do that to Peter and once he starts to exists he'll be in the center of things.

    A shapeshifter connected to Lincoln...Interesting, I hope we'll know more about him. I love Lincoln and I hope he'll be working with Peter I loved it in 3x17! Joshua and Seth have a great chemistry!

    3 more weeks, I hope they dont introduce Peter back in at end of ep 4 or 5 and then take a hiatus for 3 or 4 weeks. that would suck

    You can't hardly compare. The premiere was entirely dedicated to our Olivia. She  got every alternate episode focused on her and Anna had the other half focused on her alternate character,

    Josh won't be in, at least, 3 episodes. No episodes focused on Peter and Peter himself might not be back till the second half of the season.

    No comparison, at least Olivia/Anna was in every single episode even if she wasn't herself, Josh/peter will not in the episodes AT ALL.

  13. vargesz2 September 2011 at 20:48

    You are right about the premier but after that Olivia wasn't there until Abducted. Yes you saw little parts of her but in the Plateau and Amber 31422 that was 95 percent of Alt!Liv and then there were the over there episodes, and the Bell posession. She wasn't in at least 5 episodes at all and just few minutes in 4. I can't imagine it will be worse for Peter. And it's gonna be his season.

    At least you got Anna Torv who was in every single episode while Josh fans won't be seeing him at all. Look at from that perspective.

    Not every single one. Neither of them were in Subject 13. And Josh was missing for a few episodes or were hardly in them last year, too. It's gonna be different because he'll be absent in following episodes... But actually I am not sure if the fact that he doesn't exists will stop the writers from writing him parts in those episodes, too. And we know he was filming something already. Maybe Projection!Peter comes back...

  18. DarthLocke42 September 2011 at 20:58

    actaully because of the expereinces they both had, the Olivias started to change after they returned to their universe -so really I think Anna played like five versions of Olivia.

  22. DarthLocke42 September 2011 at 21:08

    Yeah i think so too! -Either astral projection, flashing in and out of reality, or just a criminal on the run Peter could all happen! -But I have never mind of Peter being written as a shadowy -duel character, because it seems obvious that he is so important to being able to change everyone else. He sometimes is like the mysterious shadow that looms over the series...

    Don't get me wrong, I think it would be wonderful if this reset was like the Christmas Carol for Peter's future (as I already think he mirrors Desmond in LOST) and he has to see what life is like 'with out him the way he was' in order for him to change, take on a more specific role, find his true identity, and continue to drive things forward.

    Olivia in The Plateau and The Abducted was our Olivia, just like Peter in The Last Sam Weiss was still our Peter, in spite of the head trauma. Yes, she was acting under Fauxlivia's memories, but it was Olivia who would save the day and her personality was constantly leaking. And by the way, Olivia in S3 wasn't exactly like Olivia in S2. She changed a lot and yet she was still our Olivia.

    It can't be worse for Peter? How about 0 screentime? How about Josh being sidelined by the showrunners once again? And it's gonna be his season? Who told you that? That has been a wish of the fans for at least 2 years, but it's only a wish. The showrunners have already answered that question, when a fan asked if S4 was going to be Peter's season. The answer was no. They explained this is the season, where they will explore the other characters without Peter's existence. Oh, but don't worry, in the end, he's very important. In a very conceptual way, because he doesn't exist.

  27. vargesz2 September 2011 at 22:24

    In Abducted? Sure a 100% but in The Plateau or Amber 31422? Not so much. She was there but hardly. It was Alt!Liv with a cortexiphan treated brain and body. She had no idea what was happening to her that is why she needed Projection!Peter. Basically Projection!Peter was our!Olivia trying to convince Alt!Liv that she is not going mad and those weird doesn't making any sense memories are actually her real ones. And your comparison between s2 and s3 Olivia goes for Peter, too. He changed a lot, too. And you know, I was quite suspicios of head trauma Peter because he really wasn't himself...  

    And seriously what's with this zero screentime idea? Who told you that? Maybe for the premier but it seems he'll be in dreams and who knows what else... Why is all the negativity? Josh is on board he is working and we know that for sure. I know it sucks that he won't be there as much but he was missing from whole episodes last year, too and you and everyone else managed to survive that. And he'll start exicting that's a 100%. Actually with all the Peter hate going on showing how everyone lives would suck without him maybe changes a few's opinion.

    Well, according to set reports and set pics, Josh was nowhere to be seen and I recall in the EW.com interview that everybody else was filming without him not to mention the rumor that Josh won't be filming until late Sept.

    But you know, you will never understand until its Anna's screentime that was cut in half and she won't be in all the episodes.

  29. Ricky Terry2 September 2011 at 22:48

    I've read most of the comments, and I'm just gonna say that personally I'm gonna chill and just watch the story unfold. I learned from LOST that you can't get too many hopes up, because what you find creatively right or wrong with a show makes no difference in what actually transpires. So Theories are great and I like em all, but that's all they are, fun for the masses until we get fresh product. The showrunners are gonna do what they want, and I'm gonna try to enjoy it like I would a book. If the ending sucks, well so be it, wouldn't be the first time. 

    Just Trust the showrunners, and see....or not and be ticked off. But it's your choice to watch or not.

  30. myrtus2 September 2011 at 23:01

    The spoilers told me that. He didn't go to Vancouver till a few days ago to film only one scene, in which he probably just plays an apparition. That means no new Josh till episode 4 and no Peter, till who knows when.

    Oh, really? So because you (or some random people) hate Peter/Josh, he shouldn't be in the show? People who like him, should suck it up? Does that mean, that if there are people out there, who don't like Olivia, Anna should take a long break, too? Come on!

    Yes, we managed to "survive that". We were also given many promises, that it would be worth it for Peter as a character. They lied. Now they plan to not have him for half a season and we have to shut up and say everything is awesome? Aren't you being a little unfair here?

    I guess preparing yourself for the worst is a good strategy but I am simply not even willing to consider some real dramatic Peter absence.

  33. Christine DeJoy2 September 2011 at 23:18

    I'm sure I'm gonna get hate for this comment, but I feel like it's a lot of fan-girling for one particular actor and not for the love of the entire show and storyline. The character of Peter is vital to the show, he didn't die, this season starts out all about his character and what his presence means to the other characters. As Ron Burgundy would say, 'he's kind of a big deal.' And as with this show in the past, you have no idea what this show will do until you actually see it happen on screen. Example? The last few moments of the season finale. People just need to enjoy the epic-ness of the writing on this show and embrace it and realize that it's a show about a bunch of characters.

  34. vargesz2 September 2011 at 23:19

    Who said I hate Peter or Josh? Seriously? I don't think I wrote anything indicating that. I just mentioned that there are people who feel like that. Your negativity is actually almost start to scare me 'cause I never even considered him being away more than 4 epis at tops and even that with some sort of presence. 

     And you keep saying that he won't be in half of the season... Where did you read that 'cause I start to feel like I've missed something...

  35. Rebecca Swan2 September 2011 at 23:24

    I recall people doing the same exact thing when the rumor that somebody was going to die in the season finale and people were afraid it was Olivia. I recall some folks even saying "Kill Olivia=Kill the show" so sorry but people tend to fangirl over Olivia and walter just as much as peter.

    Technically 5 episodes is not half a season, they got a full order so it's a quarter season. Or less, How many did they get? 23- 24? 

    Faith, in the show is better than being ticked at it. Its obvious you are passionate about the show, so chill and you'll feel better.

    I remember reading or hearing John Noble say that the first part of the season is a four or five episode mini arc. That Peter's Presence would be felt but not seen, per say.

    No, totally agree. Just voiced my opinion on that on another site as well, people judging something that is not going to be what we think anyway. I hate that fans get off on one actor because he's (she's) more in it or not. Josh himself said this is not a show about the characters. It's a show about the show and I love that. Yes, everyone is entitled to have their favorites. And I do. But as a true fan we need to embrace the whole packet, which I love with a passion.

    Looks great... Still I am a little concerned...
    Fringe was "on a bubble" during Season 3 gladly they did get a S4. However now Peter will "be missing in the first 5 epi's" and it seems that we get a sort of  a "Re-Boot" + the first three Season{s} appeared now as "not happened" I truly hope the watch-numbers will stay the same. A lot of Josh Fans aren't thrilled with the "no Peter"  thingie.....

    I'm confused about this whole '5 epi thing' that everyone is quoting.  That number wasn't said as a 'definitive' - he comes back in as a 'regular' at the end of epi 3 or 4 and that there will be some element of 'Peter' in each episode anyway. In fact the first promo for 401 you hear Peter's voice to Walter. If his 'fans' don't tune in b/c he's not in a lot of the episodes then they aren't fans of the show then and that's a shame and don't care about the storyline then.

    I said "you (or other people) hate", because I wasn't sure. That whole people hate him and not having him on the show would change the other's opinion sounded kind of suspect. If you don't hate him, what you said is even more confusing.

    John Noble said that this first story arc, the Peter-less universe, would last 8-9 episodes. Josh was in Vancouver to film one scene for episode 4, but the actor that plays December said Peter won't be back in episode 5, either. Josh will probably appear a few seconds here and there as a ghost, but I don't expect Peter back (if they bring him back) until this story arc is over.

  50. myrtus3 September 2011 at 06:59

    I wish it was that, but it's not. To me it's not so much about the actor, but the character. Otherwise I'd go and watch his past work, like I do with some other actors and actresses. The thing is that usually actor and character go together and they are part, however small, of the show, as much as people don't want to admit this. The "he's kind of a big deal" is part of the problem, because they never showed that on screen. So instead of developing the character organically and showing why he's kind of a big deal, all they do is shove him out of the show and write artifice.

  51. Mutsie3 September 2011 at 07:49

     I do agree with you, don't get me wrong! I just hear around me that a lot of Josh Fans are not willing to watch the show any further  if "Peter" will stay a way for a long time....

    Why? Because I am not freaking about his absence and going around saying I won't watch the show if Peter is not back in like the second episode? That automatically means I hate him? It seems to me that you tend to jump to conclusions too easily. 
    To me the whole point of his non-existence is to show how important Peter is. That's why I said that it could change people's opinion who are not big fan of him. Seeing Olivia and Walter and the other without his influence, seeing how small things he did change huge things... I honestly think it could change the haters or at least make them more like neutral when it comes to him...

    ReplyDelete
  56. myrtus3 September 2011 at 13:02

    I'm afraid you're as guilty as me of misinterpretation. There are people out there, that don't like Olivia and there are people out there, that don't like Walter. Would that justify not having the actors and the characters in the show? To show the haters how important they are? I don't think so, but that's what you seem to imply. of course, you are free to like him or dislike him (and I'm not saying you do), but that can't justify not having him in the story.

    For some reason, I cannot dislike this arc without being accused of being a Josh fangirl or not a real fan. Surely I should feel ecstatic, that one of the reasons I watched the show is gone, for 5 episodes as far as we know, it could be more and it could be forever. And yes, it could be forever. The producers admitted, he won't come back as we expect.

    Anyway, we'll have to agree to disagree. You think my reservations aren't justified and I think the opposite. No need to repeat ourselves endlessly.

    Not sure why Josh fans get so much criticism for caring about Josh and how he is being used on this show but nobody criticizes the walter and olivia fans who only watch for them. The only reason why Josh fans are now vocal is only because Josh is really not given a lot to do for the last 3 years and for 2 years in counting, we keep seeing less and less of him. Would any of you like it if we saw less and less of Walter/John or Olivia/anna?

  59. Ricky Terry3 September 2011 at 18:51

    I think the point we're making here is that we are show fans, and not just Josh, Anna, or John Fans. It's about the story not the actors.

    There's this one obnoxious Peter/Josh fan girl who trolls every Fringe related forum, complaining about about Peter's third tier status on this show. She regularly gets banned on imdb, but keeps creating new aliases. Because of this, I simply assume that every loud/annoying Peter fangirl are in fact the same person.
