Fringe 4.01 color meta/picspam

[dotfic]

Ack, the problem with watching ALL THE THINGS is now there are too many awesome things to talk about.

But this was nibbling at me most, so...FRINGE YES LET'S TALK ABOUT FRINGE CAN WE HUH CAN WE?? :D

We've seen a green title sequence - the Fringe of the flashback episodes. And we had a gray/white title sequence for the season finale.

[dotfic]

The flashback title sequence was green! I wondered if I'd forgotten a green title sequence. So maybe the green accents are shouting back to that. LOL I liked my crackpot theories about another universe.

Gray/white...huh, the lack of color meaning the danger of losing all worlds -- lack of color?

[cesperanza]

I love this meta. I am now seriously worried about the green universe!

[dotfic]

It maybe is a shout-back to the 1980's ep -- a symbol of the absent Peter? But I'm attached to my green universe theory!

I love your meta on colour, because I never notice these things, and I find them fascinating. Especially the hints of green, have we ever had green credits, I wonder?

[dotfic]

Green credits were on the 1980's flashback ep. But I'm going to choose to believe it's a CLUE that there is a GREEN UNIVERSE. (Maybe Walter will loan me his tinfoil hat? :D)

Having seen 4.02, I see signs that the use of color is as purposeful as I thought. That saturation and the way certain colors, like blue, shout in certain scenes has to be deliberate.

JUST CAUGHT UP. \o/! Oh, I *missed* this show.

I wonder if Walter still crossed over trying to save Peter, and both Peters died despite Walter's efforts and he broke the world and the Peters died anyway. OMG that's a reallly sad thought.

He did have that comment about "People die. Sometimes they even die twice" which is a big hint at that being the case. And the Observers said something about "not letting them know the boy grew into a man"? But they also said he never existed. IDEK, Fringe is too crazy to predict. *hearteyes*

Regarding the color green: Olivia's shirt was blue-green. Also, she was wearing colors. Did she not go through the cortexiphan trials in this universe?

[dotfic]

Show! show show show show! This ep was great. 4.02, I think was even better...

Yes, the die twice line. Both Peters died. But somewhere out there, there is still a Peter.

I noticed they'd put Olivia in blue-green! Interesting.

[spatz]

Yeah, 4.02 developed the ripple effects even more, which was awesome. I've talked with inmyriadbits a lot about how our Olivia is more sad and obviously this episode was solid gold for that - she *killed* her stepfather, holy shit! - but alt!Olivia has changed as well, and it became very clear with them side-by-side. Or un-changed, as it were: her undercover trip in the original timeline changed her profoundly (for the better, IMO) because of her relationship with Peter and her reluctant empathy for our team, but she never had that experience in this universe. I'm very curious to see if she charts a similar arc via her new interactions with our Olivia in this timeline. I can't wait for next week

Oy, this is so interesting, thanks for sharing your thoughts! Also, pretty. *gg* I never catch those color-shout-outs, so I'm always grateful when they're pointed out to me. Heh!

Some of the questions you asked are things I keep thinking about, too. Mainly the paradox, what linked the universes, how they remember that and what lead up to it if there's been no Peter, and yeah, the baby. Ohh, my brain hurts. *lol*

[dotfic]

This show is very beautiful. And has paradoxes!

After seeing 4.02 I'm even more convinced the color use is purposeful. *steeples fingers and ponders*

[writingpathways]

It's all so pretty. Like a rainbow.

All I got.

Anna Torv deserves an emmy.

John Noble too.

Damn it.

Astrid in the field was awesome.

[dotfic]

Time paradox! What does it mean? Where is Peter? What about the baby?

Mmmm, colors pretty! :D
