Seriously...why would you do this to me? I haven't watched all season, I haven't even watched last season's finale...and then you do this and now I have to watch the series finale. Damn it!
[click and be spoiled?]So...pretty much since a certain death in episode 4, everyone has assumed that the season would end with one giant re-boot/re-set. Like...Olivia saves the world and destroys the Observers and shit gets reset to a pre-Observer-dominated world. I would be INCREDIBLY shocked if this DIDN'T happen, especially given another major death in the last episode...but who knows?
My WISH is for this re-set to go ALL the way back to the end of season 3, when the Observers frakked with the universe to make Peter disappear. Only this time, he doesn't disappear :) This would mean: ALT!LINCOLN IS STILL ALIVE, as is bb!Henry. I think it would also fit with the concept of Olivia saving the world from the Observers by literally obliterating their existence for all time.
Sadly, I do not imagine they will re-set things that far, nor do I think they will destroy the Observers completely. I think the BEST we can hope for is destroying the future/evil Observers and a re-set back to the moment they closed the bridge separating the two worlds.
But even then, I doubt we'll be that lucky. A more likely scenario is a re-set to the world RIGHT BEFORE the Observers launched their invasion. We've seen this moment of Peter/Olivia/Etta playing in the park and the Observers coming to get Etta like a BAZILLION times this season, so I imagine we'd see another version of that scene, with no Observers and the Bishop family finishing their day in the park and going home. The other most-likely scenario is that it's WALTER, not Olivia, who saves the world (as the ultimate redemption or whatever) and when everything is re-set, Walter doesn't get saved like everyone else and maybe Peter + Olivia remember what really happened or something.
But after all of that ridiculous rambling...I still have no clue if ANY of this will happen. I will be truly surprised if there isn't a re-set and if Walter doesn't sacrifice himself but other than that, I have no freaking clue what the writers have planned since this season, imo, makes very little sense whatsoever.
Well look at that fancy new spoiler button LJ has!
Dude - I very much wish that S3 reset thing were to happen, but I agree, I think it's much more likely that they'd only go back as far as changing Etta's fate. God forbid you bring back Peter's other kid or reestablish the alt!verse.
I feel like, either way, my characters will be shafted or ignored...that just seems to be the way of things these days on Fringe. I honestly don't care about Peter/Olivia anymore so that story will likely not do much for me.
I enjoy that new spoiler thing. It's pretty much the only change LJ has made lately that I actually like.
I still care about Olivia (Peter, not so much though I don't NOT care about him, either? I'm very neutral about him.) but I have no doubt that things will turn out okay for them so I'm not worried about their fate.
Ugh, poor bb!Henry. I will never understand how it was okay to erase him...
I cared about Olivia until the writers made her willingly forget everyone/everything for Peter...that really hurt my appreciation for her character. Maybe she got better this season? I wouldn't know. I don't hate her, I'm disappointed in the writing OF her.
Right?? Ugh...and then to name the new kid Henrietta...
That was where the show really started to lose me, though it didn't make my feelings for Olivia lessen as I decided it was totally OOC and only happened because the writers prioritize Peter/Olivia over all of Olivia's other relationships. Which made me not so fond of the writers but I still love Liv.
And that trend continued this season. Not so much in 'Peter/Olivia trumps everything ever' vein but in Olivia not getting the writing she deserves. She's been very passive all season, which made sense in the first few episodes because they were all following Etta's lead given that they were in a totally unfamiliar world but the fact that Olivia is still basically sitting on the side-lines REALLY pisses me off.
I'm actually fine with them having the same name (I think it could've been cute, especially if they were raised as half-siblings) but I loathe that Henry had to never be born in order for Etta to exist.
