Info on the two endings filmed for this year’s finale — and the Season 5 story clue — have already been posted over at Seriable.

Here are some new interviews with Anna Torv, Seth Gabel and Joshua Jackson, reflecting on recent events and looking ahead to the final run of Season 4 episodes (may contain spoilers):

Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 8

You mean like the extra twenty minutes of The Day We Died that Fox asked them to cut?

I know I have already posted my thoughts on Joshua Jackson’s comments on another post, but as this is the appropriate one, ill do so again…but summarised: “glossing over” = cop out

Man, I agree. Jackson said those words numerous times in this interview.

If we ultimately get no kind of answers about, say, where Peter was when he had been erased, or how he can be home when only Olivia has memories of his ever having existed in the first place, then I will feel some disappointment.

Not to be a nuisance, but I appreciate the nuances.
I will fill in the blanks accordingly.

Betty, Mm too . . . it’s a tv show with only so many hours in the season. I’m sure they needed to ‘gloss’ over some parts to reveal the most impactful stuff.

I am so darn excited for the final episodes. We have got to get a season 5!

If you really want a good answer to those questions, then I suggest you visit the DC comics website and search for Beyond the Fringe (Peter and the Machine) This was said to be canonical by Pinkner and Wyman this past summer, and it was penned by Josh Jackson himself. I can ‘gloss-over’ the specifics with you if you’d like.

I generally have trouble following comics, but your posts have swayed me to check this one out. It sounds like it’s worth it.

I think they have a physical copy of it now too. I paid the $.99 apiece for the four issues that you can read online. It is the “A” story ones not the “B” story ones. http://www.comixology.com/ just do a search for Beyond the Fringe.

As a show all about the ‘Road Not Taken’ concept, I guess having an alternate ending is quite appropriate :P

I’d love to see a show allow the viewer to make a decision that results in one of 2-3 different endings. It’s done in video games (i.e. Mass Effect, Infamous, Heavy Rain) but rarely in filmed media.

Yes, Mass Effect. The ending where you pick your favorite color before you die…

Man….I totally bought Olivia’s journey until Jackson said that thing about her self sufficiency and giving it up for love. I hate you Jackson. I really do.
