Fringe, the journey has come to an end.

My favorite TV  show has come to an end. Can I just sit in a corner and cry for the rest of my life?

Life will not be as fun without Walter (every version of him).

Warning: I won't tell any specifics details about the end, but it might give you a general idea of how it was.

I watched the last episodes last week and I have to say, I didn't expect it to be so emotinal. My mistake, I know, because Fringe has always been an emotional show. To me it has always been more about the relationship between these characters (specially Peter and Walter) than anything else, so I should have seen it coming. I believe my main mistake was to think that it would have a 'happily ever after' kind of end, again, I should have known better.

I loved the end, don't get me wrong, it's not a sad ending. It's just bittersweet. Really bittersweet. It's heartbreaking and amazing, because when you think about it, it couldn't have ended any other way. It just makes sense.

Those final 3 or 5 minutes were the death of me. Can't remember the last time I cried this much, from the moment I realized what was gonna happen until the very end, I couldn't stop crying. It was so meaningful and beautiful and heartbreaking.

What I loved the most about the ending is that they rescued the essence of the show, Walter and Peter's relationship. It's all about them. And looking back into those 5 years and seeing how far they've come was very touching.
There's 2 scenes with them that are so beautiful, one of them is when Walter looks at Peter and says 'You are my favorite thing, Peter. My very favorite thing.'. How powerful is that? Gosh! And the other is when Peter finally says 'I love you, dad.'. And I'm crying again.

I read somewhere (can't remember where, sorry) that Fringe is a show about love. About a man who loved a boy so much he broke the universe to save him and about that same boy learning to love the man he grew up hating. About a love strong enough to break the universe and then fix it.
That describes that end so well that I don't even need to write anything else, except:


Thank you, Fringe.

Great, now I can't stop crying!

Welcome to the Fringe Division

I know this is a movie blog, but this is also a blog about things I love. So I decided to change things a bit and today I'm not writing about movies, I'm writing about a TV show. Fringe.

I'm a Fringe Junkie.

I'm absolutely crazy about it. I love Walter, I love Pete, (actually, at the moment I'm not on very good terms with Peter, but still), I love Astrid and I even love Gene (the cow). I love that it is a sci-fi show, but it has personal relationships. I love Walter & Pete's relationship. In fact, I liked it better when they were focusing a bit more on them, now they are too caugh up in Peter-Olivia-(and possibly)Fauxlivia. I'm not a fan of drama and I'm definitely not a fan of love triangles.

To me Fringe is by far the best TV show on air right now. That's probably because it has everything I love: mistery, action, sci-fi, a lovely crazy scientist and Joshua Jackson.

Since I mentioned Joshua, I must take a minute to say how incredibly awesome John Noble is. For real! Just watch Walter and Walternative and you'll see what I mean. I can't describe how good he is on this show.
Anna Torv is pretty amazing too. We have the best cast ever. =P

I'm posting two quotes from the show that I really like. Both are about the same thing, déjà vu. One was said by Walter (the genious, but a bit crazy scientist) and the other by Peter (the smart, skeptic son).

There you go:

Déjà vu is--is--is simply a - a momentary glimpse to the other side. Almost everyone experiences it. We feel that we've been somewhere before because actually we have - in another reality. It's another path. The road not taken.

- Walter Bishop


I read that déjà vu is fate's way of telling you that you are exactly where you are supposed to be. That's why you feel like you've been there before. You are right in line with your own destiny. It's a bit mystical for my taste.

- Peter Bishop


I like both, although I do prefer Pete's version, it's kinda magic (you all know I love this kinda stuff, right? ). Ironicly that's the same reason why he doesn't believe on it. haha

If you don't watch Fringe you have no idea how much you're missing. Catch up with seasons 1 and 2 and start watching it RIGHT NOW.  Season 3 will rock your world. ;)

Warning: be prepared for more Fringe related posts. You better watch it, or you might feel a little lost. =)
