How will Walter and all of these factors manifest themselves in the final four episodes of season five?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Will the separate realities that were also part of a larger homage in \u201cBlack Blotter\u201d to the entire series play a role in the final episode to bring closure to the viewership? Or will the series creators eliminate not only The Observers, but put the multiple timelines to rest with a return to an \u201coriginal reality\u201d before it all began? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/End-Eternity-Isaac-Asimov\/dp\/0765319195\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1399 alignleft\" title=\"The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/fringe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/The-End-of-Eternity-by-Isaac-Asimov.jpg\" alt=\"The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov\" width=\"401\" height=\"614\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">In the epic science fiction novel by Isaac Asimov, \u201cThe End of Eternity\u201d, this was the path chosen for the stories protagonists Noys Lambent (Olivia in Fringe), and Harlan (Peter in Fringe). They were the only ones to recall everything, but with no way to alter it when \u201cThe End of Eternity\u201d became manifest after those in \u201cThe Hidden Centuries\u201d prevailed over the evil and perversion of those who had altered reality to favor their matrix of existence to the detriment of humankind and all other life forms.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">As Noys and Harlan began a new life free of \u201cThe Eternals\u201d (equivalent to The Observers in Fringe), Laban Twissell (analog to Walter in Fringe), had to be destroyed because he too had an evil dark side like Walternate once he was revealed as the creator of the \u201cTime Kettles\u201d (like Walter\u2019s wormholes in Fringe), which had originally empowered The Eternals to become evil and corrupt from power over all others lives.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">A reality reset to its original shape was the only viable option to Asimov\u2019s \u201cThe End of Eternity\u201d, a single novel that needed to have a neatly wrapped conclusion in a world prior to the establishment of the multi-verse as hypothecated in modern scientific theories.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">This reviewer\u2019s theorem is that the brilliant creators of Fringe need not end the franchise at this time with a neatly wrapped \u201cpackage\u201d tying up loose ends. Much remains to be explored in a world with &#8220;Endless Possibilities&#8221;.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Specifically; what caused the radicalism from the seemingly benevolent nature of The Observers on Earth (like September) to the ruthlessness of Captain Windmark? How was September and those of his ilk overthrown? Did a reality change threaten The Observers existence, leading to the radical and tyrannical world of 2036?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Or must we accept that these intriguing potential stories were abandoned (passed over and pulled into a shortened fifth season) when the series ratings added overwhelming financial complexity to the contemplated sixth, and alternate fifth seasons?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">This reviewer cannot speculate on this final hypothesis opined in the previous paragraph at this time. However, sometimes in business, financial considerations force compromises that \u201cpull in\u201d a future \u201creality\u201d well before its time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">What this reviewer can say at this time is this:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Much more can be, and remains to be explored if another network (e.g. The Science Channel) picks up the Fringe franchise. Or perhaps Bad Robot and Warner Brothers will elect to pursue a direct to DVD or big screen strategy?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">How would this be accomplished? By leaving season five with a huge cliff hanger! This could \u201cplow the field&#8221; with new \u201cseed corn\u201d for more of the enjoyable alternate realities that are what Fringe is all about!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">And here is where we must leave our analysis for now. The next four episodes will tell the tale, wherein only time will tell what reality will ultimately become manifest.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Fringe Banner - Click to learn more at the FOX Broadcasting!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fox.com\/fringe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6\" title=\"Fringe Banner - Click to learn more at the FOX Broadcasting\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/fringe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Fringe-Banner-Wallpaper-640.jpg\" alt=\"Fringe Banner - Click to learn more at the FOX Broadcasting!\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Click to visit and follow WormholeRiders News Agency on Twitter!\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WormholeRiders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2301\" title=\"Click to visit and follow WormholeRiders News Agency on Twitter!\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/fringe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/WormholeRiders-New-Logo-150TS-Dark.png\" alt=\"Click to visit and follow WormholeRiders News Agency on Twitter!\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Thank you for reading and visiting <a title=\"Click to visit and follow WormholeRiders News Agency on Twitter!\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/WormholeRiders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WormholeRiders News Agency<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Please feel free to leave a comment here or if you prefer, click the social media icons below to share this news article. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Or as many of our readers and visitors often do, visit <a title=\"Click to visit and follow WormholeRiders News Agency on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/WormholeRiders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WHR on Twitter<\/a>, <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">or visit me on Twitter by clicking the text links or images avatars in this news story.
