Originally posted by Commander Zelix View PostI think the real stroke of genius is instead of simply having the alternates self wearing "black suits" and wear their evil face. They made them multilayered full fledged people. Personally, I wished they would have keep up the alternating stories between the 2 worlds with new plot developments and inter linkages for a longer time this season. But considering how much they have developed the alternate characters and universe I have no doubt we will see much more of them.sigpic

They haven't updated since 6955 kHz, but it's a pretty exhaustive list/screenshot set otherwise
Actually the "out of series" sightings bit reminds me of one of those "I wish the world would open up and swallow me" moments, it's the NASCAR one and I was sitting there watching it in a crowd of racing fans and saw the observer, jumped up pointing at the screen and shouted "an observer!", everybody in the room looked at me like I was some kind of lunatic, apart from one person who was laughing - well at least one person knew what I was on about

I agree with your season 1 assessment that Astrid was underused but Charlie I think was natural that he would be only a supporting character.
I differ a bit on season 3 because I think they've done that really well and it's hard for me to say that because, as I said on a different Fringe thread, I really struggle with situations where we know big things that the main chars aren't aware of. As a result the whole shapeshifter Charlie (same concept) and especially the Altivia over here thing deeply irritated me but yet they did it so well I couldn't find a way to fault it.
Now we have everything back in place and so much potential for the show to go forward. I know what you mean about the observers, the sort of chars that will always appeal to me but to be honest they have done well to underplay them. If you focus too much on a powerful / exciting 'race' like that then they would tend to take over the narrative and the show is about the Fringe team not the observers.
The weapon will build in more, I think that's part of the big arc of the series. Aliens,well I don't think they're ever going to really be a part of this. And Rachel / Ella I don't have a problem with how they've been handled. Really they were just a way to humanise Olivia and to play off the Peter-Olivia sexual tension (at least as I saw it) so I can see that in a way they're no longer needed, at least for now.
All in all a top show and it seems that for whatever troubles you have about the series there's clearly enough interesting you to make you another Fringe fan with the rest of us"There is only one universe. It can only contain one life. It is me." - MorningLightMountain

I guess we'll learn more about the Observers when we'll find out more about the First people/humans. Anna Torv said in one interview she's looking forward to itStolen Kosovo

I for one am sadden to here their marriage ended so quick. But I will not rejoice it for petty reasons.
Originally posted by DigiFluid View PostThe Rachel/Ella thing bugs the crap out of me. I loved the way they were a part of Season 1, they gave so much colour to the live of Olviia. I liked how they had their own story outside of the Fringe mythos, and I enjoyed how they seemed to be building toward a Peter/Rachel romance. And then....they vanished. And then Rachel recently gets a passing mention of having moved to Chicago 'because her husband took a job there'? The husband she was estranged from and crying over his trying to take custody of their daughter from her last time we saw her? Come on, what the hell kind of resolution is that?
It could be that the actress(s) had issues behind the scenes. Scheduling conflicts, etc.
