Here's a nutso tidbit about the world of the future, from io9.

quote:

In the Observer-controlled future, there's a general lack of decency and dignity, most notably when it comes to a group of people referred to as Amber Gypsies. These creepy mercenaries cut out blocks of amber — with human being still encased inside of it — and sell it. And people use the ambered humans as furniture.
That's really creepy.

I never really thought about it before watching that trailer but I find it funny that 600 years in the future its easier to time travel back to when the planet doesn't suck instead of there being proper interplanetary travel
I wonder if this is the first time the Observers have done this; they're actually from much farther in the future, but the continually suck the life out of the planet and then jump back a few centuries.

It won't be long before replicas are available. I wonder how comfortable an amber couch could be?

I am so excited for this season. I can't wait to see Fringe Division actually causing the Fringe events. I really hope we don't just get a bunch of rehashed events that we've seen, but see some newer more creative events that are built off what we've seen.

Ugh I gotta work until 9:30 tomorow, so I hope that Canadian network is still showing it, so I can watch the west coast broadcast.

Also, is this a full season or one of those BS 13 episode seasons that NBC is doing.

Let me get this straight. The current cast of characters is A-Peter(who isn't supposed to exist anymore), C-Olivia with A-Olivia's memories, their daughter, C-Walter with his whole brain, and C-Astrid. In 2036 during an occupation of time-traveling assholes. This show is convoluted as all hell and I love it for it.

I believe this is also technically the 2nd version of their kid as well. If you count the A timeline version that was erased. Although the first version was a son.

The son was from Peter and B-Olivia, not A-Olivia.

He is still B Peter, right? Or not? Hell I don't know who he is.

What I find interesting is that when the show started, Olivia seemed to be the main character but over time it's really become more about Peter.

Yes he's still B-Peter. A-Peter, including A(2nd Timeline)-Peter have both been saved from this universe warping nightmare of a plot.

I was being facetious. A1, A2 & B2 Peters all died as children. B1 Peter is the only one who grew to adulthood.

Yes it happened in the future. Being frozen in amber made his brain degenerate and they gave him back his brain and made him whole. That is when he left the Observers an anti-matter surprise.

It was the episode where they showed the future world controlled by the observers, he seemed to get all his brain functions back

He got SOME kind of brain functions back, but the exact nature of the brain damage and the exact function of the cure won't necessarily match any specific version of Walter seen previously.

Regular amber leaves you conscious the whole time right? I seem to remember that from the guy rescuing his brother and they're twins and bank robbers or whatever. I'm guessing 3rd generation amber is full on suspended animation

You're right, I forgot about that. Future Walter certainly is a badass.

Looking st the preview for tonight I guess he's still a little off, but far more in control than before.

Yes but also no. This Walter is going to be one that maybe heartless but he has also been influenced by his relationship with his family and Astrid. I do not think that he would test on people for fun, but if you threaten Peter, Olivia, Etta, or Astrid may god have mercy on your soul.

I think he's saying this based off of what we saw of Walter during the Letters in Transit episode. Walter (once he get the brain medicine) was far more decisive and in control than we've seen him in the past.

Don't feel bad, I had to be reminded too.

I wonder how long it will be until they find Olivia. If it'll be just a one episode scramble or they drag it out. Based on Letters in Transit, she must be pretty locked up because Walter had to hack off Bells hand, I'm assuming to get Olivia

On that note, I do wonder if well see more Bell. I know Nimroy has retired, but he came back for the season finale and his storyline wasn't completely finished.
