agreed.
please no more time-travel for a while. it makes for lazy writing.

*twice*

it was pretty clear they were treating each season  as a separate unit: only started working on it once they got picked up for another season.
this means we miss out on 'carefully planned big reveals' (all the callbacks in season 5 were clearly put there when the writers re-watched the first few seasons, instead of…

maybe depends on the country you live in.
here the child automatically gets the name of the father (if the parents are married or he acknowledges the child), otherwise name of the mother.
there was a call a few years back to allow for double last names (from both parents), but most people thought that was ridiculous on…

that also bothered me a bit. the observers clearly have no problem jumping between both realities, so why only invade one side?
maybe the answer is in september's explanation that his people are 'from one possible future'. they might need to keep their own past universe non-conquered.
which raises the question of which…

this show must have been pretty interesting for the actors, who got to play several different versions of the same character.
and, to the show's credit, i think most of these alternate portrayels were pretty consistent (f.i. walter and walternate may be a lot alike on a basic level, but they are also very much…

my first reaction was a 'huh, how does she know olivia has a daughter?'.
but on second thought i reached the same conclusion as @avclub-62237dc88a51b64f2882471cc2be1b3d:disqus, that this just the end of a 5-minute recap: 'hey could you guys please help me because we are occupied by time-travelers and my daughter is…

i very much disliked the huge twist last year (william bell has gone to the dark side), which seemed to come completely out of left field. so i don't mind the finale being pretty predictable this year: that shows the writers know more tricks than just 'make up some crazy last-minute reveal to write ourselves out of a…

i assume the casting-call was something like 'looking for the palest guys around'. so i doubt there would have been many dark-eyed actors hired to play observers.

i appreciate that:
-the show ended on its own terms, instead of on a cliffhanger
-the writers seem to have been pretty realistic about what was and especially what wasn't possible. so they forewent the 'building up to a big ambitious finale' of a show like 'lost', and instead just made a paint-by-the-numbers final…

i have the idea there are 2 important stances in america towards drugs:
-if you've even taken a single serving of marijuana your brain will be fried forever
-drugs are totally cool and only total squares think they are bad

was i the only one yelling at my tv: 'hey, maybe if you want to be useful to peter you should stop obsessing over missing brain-parts and how they are changing you blablabla, and instead simply stop putting everything you find into your mouth'.
at this point he's not a liability because of his playing-god past, but…

currently working my way through this season. i'm gonna be SO pissed when it will be some lazy 'love conquers all, including aliens from the future' ending, designed to make us all go 'aww, guess i don't really care about all the gaping plotholes as long as peter and olivia end up together'

i feel it's telling that when jms wrote an b5-episode ('gray 17 is missing') containing a similar make-shift gun he later on admitted the whole plot (gun included) was ridiculous, but fringe has dwindled down so far nobody cares anymore about plotholes or physics.

no. 
the writing has become lazy, cliche-filled and incoherent from one episode to the next.
