Why are they all running around on their own in this? That’s like asking to be captured by the Observers.
Excited to see Broyles again. Please don’t be evil!

Ari Margolis is amazing at trailers, he is one of the reasons season 4 was so disappointing cause the trailers made the episodes looks so damn good…till i actually saw them

LOL. Accurate!
He’s also notoriously over-hyping this episode. Not a good idea.

Holy Cow! This looks awesome. We’re getting some Observer action (and action all around), the return of Broyles, an explanation about the bullet (which I suppose is the one that killed Olivia), and a room that has shape-shifter disc and one one those par sites from season 2 in it. I can only hope that Peter doesn’t die though as it is sort of looking that way. I would expect at least Walter, Olivia, and Peter to make it to the end but it is Fringe so who knows.

OMG This trailer is just awesome. It sure looks like next episode will kick ass and maybe make me forget 503 which was rather disappointing.
Hopefully, all the action is not in the trailer because Ari Margolis is so good that he can make every episode looks too good to be true.
It is so nice to see Broyles again, when will we see Nina, I miss them two…
As for Peter, he surely looks in bad posture but we all know he will make it.
Is it October 26 yet?

So this trailer brings up an interesting question:
If one of The Big Three does not make it to the end of the show, meaning the very end of the last eppy (i.e., the character is killed), which one will it be?:
* Walter, who started all this Fringe stuff in 1985, in which case, Peter would most likely be the most heartbroken?
* Olivia, the Dunhamnator and basis for the show, in which case Peter and Etta would be the most heartbroken (probably Peter more)?
* Peter, the McGuffin and (to some) plot device, in which case, Walter, Olivia, and Etta would be incredibly distraught?
Or, if you are thinking in a different direction:
* Etta, which would be soul-crushing to each and all of The Big Three?
An epic show like Fringe has to have some cataclysmic event for maximum drama. Any of The Next Three (Astrid, Broyles, or Nina) dying would not have as big an impact on the audience, although there would be some pretty intense grieving if it were Astrid. Assuming Wyman and the writers go down this alley, I would have to say it would be either Peter or Etta, then Olivia.
Remember, Wyman has said that people may not end up happy, but they would end up satisfied when the curtain closes on the BEST. SCI-FI. SHOW. EVER.

If I had to write a Thesis is would be on Walter making the sacrifice.
It started with him as far as we know. Walter went off the rails we all know the story. To how much Bell was involved or both of them I think will be the be all to fix all.

Wyman will NEVER kill off Olivia or Peter. NEVER EVER.
I don’t even think he will let Walter die, although this would be logical from some points of view.
One of the other three could indeed die, with Astrid being my favourite. She was absolutely useless so far in this Season.

Completely agree, Wyman has said in his interviews that for the ending to be satisfying for HIM, he has to be able to imagine what the characters are doing after the show has finished, and when Pinkner was on the show and they were asked about the prospect of Olivia dying (permanently) at the end of the show there response was it would “absolutely suck”. I think Walter would be the only one at risk out of the main cast as his death saving the world would be his ultimate redemption.
As for Astrid, even if the final season they cant give her anything to do, Jasika Nicole should have resigned a long time ago.

To figure out which character would die, if one were to die, you need to see how that death impacts the story.
Olivia:
This show is about Olivia. I doubt they will make that kind of a move.
Walter:
Walter is a tragic figure, so for him to die would not be the way. He will get redemption, but because he is a tragic figure, he needs to lose something in the process.
I may be wrong, but the story cannot proceed without Walter and Olivia (even after the show is over), which leaves…
Peter:
Peter himself asked Fauxlivia, “Aren’t all the best love stories tragedies?” Equal on the stage with The Other Two, were he to not survive, it would impact the story greatly without taking away the two main characters. (There is a lot of support and fandom for Peter, but if Olivia or Walter were to not make it until the curtain call, there would be incredible unhappiness. Besides, fans have already experienced losing Peter once.) The psychological impact on Walter and Olivia would be unmatched. Walter and Peter would be Vito and Sonny, and P/O really would be Tony and Maria.
But this is only hypothetical. My hope is that all the characters make it to the end. Especially if there is a movie down the road.

To figure it out I think we just need to think like the man writing the finale!
Knowing Wyman, he probably intends to give Peter and Olivia a happy ending. For that they both obviously need to be alive. Plus these two have died enough times already. They deserve a break!
That leaves Walter. It would make sense, be especially heartbreaking because we’ve rarely seen Walter in mortal danger and like you said he would get redemption. So that makes him the most likely candidate. But I don’t know. For some reason I just don’t think Wyman has the heart to kill any of the core 3 off.

Agree with your opening statement.
Yeah, as I said, I hope they all make it, but some have commented that Olive will ALWAYS be unhappy. Walter is who he is, and he lost his son AND his wife (in either timeline). I would like to see all of The Big Three have a happily ever after.

Same. I would prefer if all 3 are alive in the end. Whatever state they maybe in.
I’ve heard Anna Torv say that about Olivia. Like maybe she’s just one those people who aren’t meant to be happy. I think it’s worth mentioning though that recently I saw someone tweet Wyman saying they hope Olivia is happy in the end because she deserves it and he agreed.
He has said he wants to give these characters an ending that we will think they have earned. So I believe that is what he’s going to deliver.

It could also be a possibilty that Etta dies.
It is never in the natural order of things for a child to die before her/his parents. If this was the case, I am sure that Olivia would suffer such guilt and shock, it will feel like she is dead inside. The loss of Etta could give her life a new sense of purpose, right the wrongs of The Observers, get the hell out of Dodge City, and find a way to go back in time to the specific time frame when Etta was a child. Early childhood is the most phase for overall development and if this happened, Olivia would be complete.

I hope no nobody dies but if anyone were to die, I agree that this might be Walter. It will be the ultimate redemption for him because he somehow started the whole thing. It will be equally tragic as well since his plan will defeat the Observers. Plus, he is the oldest of the main charcters so it makes sense that he dies while his legacy and family lives on. Plus, Walter really dying has never been explored in Fringe before.
It does not make sense for Olivia and Peter to die again since they already did several times. Killing off Etta will bring Fringe back to its original narrative and that just doesnt seem like a very good place to end the series. Walter dying on the other hand would probably be the most logical death to me. (Even though we love him.)

It looks like the Fringe team uses William’s hand to get inside his storage facility where they find the shapeshifter disc (from the human shapeshifters) and a bunch of other stuff (I think I saw an ambered version of one of his animals he wanted to put in his new world?)

Cant! Wait! I was rewatching all the Fringe episodes in these 2 weeks (I got time
) Was the beacon a holding cell in a way for September, and September was guarding his own cell back in Season 1?! O_o. And how was the machine turned on without Peter? Was it like Doctor Who that once the Observers finally got Peter to make the right choice, it was a fixed point in time, and they could not save Peter and still have their plan work? Reading the comic by Josh makes it even more confuzzling :O

Yes, I would assume that if it is the same beacon from Season 1, then September was guarding it until it would get to the right point in which Peter could free him from it. This would also be why September couldn’t touch it and he had to have Walter hide it. As for the machine, I would assume that since the whole machine thing is a paradox in itself, then it was able to still exist in the new version of the timeline as well as turn on by itself. The fixed point in time theory is possible as well (also I’m glad someone else on this site watches Doctor Who too).

I think the end of Fringe won’t be a happy ending. Because generally epic and emotional endings effect the audience. One of the main characters will die to save the word. So far this person has always been Olivia but I don’t think she is meant to die. Walter will sacrifice himself. In this seaason he seems more decisive. He knows what he is doing. Maybe he will be killed by an observer.
This is what I think but I don’t have any idea what J.Wyman would do in the end. His writing’s central is the relationships between characters so maybe he won’t broke those relationships and make Fringe team live happily ever after

OK I will weigh-in one more time on this…
I still think a more tragic ending for Walter is to lose Peter once more. It would be a haunting feeling that would be the ultimate payment for his hubris. I think many fans want a tragic hero’s ending for Walter, where he sacrifices himself for his son/some greater cause. I think it would be far more…Shakespearean?…if he had to have this final loss, because in this amber timeline, he has accepted that Peter is his son and grown attached to him.
Now, for balance, I look back at another JJ Abrams series, Alias, in its final season. Jack Bristow, Sidney’s dad, sacrificed himself in the pit with the hideously evil Arvin Sloane. This was very much about atonement as also settling scores. So in that sense, the second lead character died for a greater cause, so I can also see the argument and outcome of Walter doing the same. And that may well be the ending that Wyman heads toward.
But is the ending of Fringe destined to be more Greek tragedy, more Shakespeare, or more conventional narrative?
I reiterate that I want them all to survive and live happily ever after. I also LIKE WALTER. I don’t want to see him crushed. Season 5 is the Walter season, which is good.
I am eager to see how the story ends. But I am NOT eager to see it end at all.

Why is this industry obsessed with death? I’m sure a psychologist could answer that question.
Personally, I see no reason why any of our team should die, for what reason? What would that do other than depress seventy-five percent of the fans. Geeezzzz give the Grim Reaper a rest, will ya!
