If you’ve been waiting for the Fringe universe to magically reset to what it once was, you’re going to be disappointed. Producer Jeff Pinker and Joel Ryman say the first seven episode of this year have been about putting down the foundation for what’s to come in the rest of season four.
“The first seven episodes were an opening act,” said Pinkner. “We’ve seen now what Nina (Blair Brown) is doing to Olivia (Anna Torv) and [the] shape-shifters many times. In this next episode and going beyond, we’ll find out who’s behind the shape-shifters… and… we’ll really start to delve in to the challenges that our characters are going to face in both universes.”
Pinkner also confirmed that Peter (Joshua Jackson) will reach out to the scheming Walternate (John Noble) in his efforts to return to his own timeline.
“Peter has some very definite attitudes about Walternate and finds out that in this timeline, things are not entirely as he had suspected them to be,” explained the executive producer.
However, co-showrunner Wyman revealed that the sci-fi drama will not immediately return to the original timeline, which was altered when Peter vanished from history.
“For now, we’re going to stick to where we are,” he said. “But it’s going to lead to other things.”
I just hope they write the show like it’s canceled since it seems like it won’t be renewed anyways.
If we get a bonus season, great, if not, we at least get closure
I figured that it was going to be like what’s happened on “Eureka”. I never thought everything would return to normal. (Although, for a time, I did think that about “Eureka”.)
