FRINGE speculation

[mik3cap]

Do not read if you don't wanna.


So they made the big reveal last episode - the overarching story is about inter-dimensional invasion. I think it's pretty clear that Massive Dynamic is a player in the inter-dimensional war, though I don't think it's totally clear what side they're on. I will speculate this much though:

William Bell, CEO of Massive Dynamic, is actually Walter Bishop from another dimension. I suspect it's a dimension where the lab accident that killed the assistant in our dimension didn't kill her, and Bishop didn't get institutionalized as a result (thus allowing their dimension to advance farther in technology).

IN FACT, I think the lab assistant from the other dimension ONLY LOST HER ARM in that explosion. And she's currently the Executive Director of Massive Dynamic. Whether or not MD is a beachhead for the invading forces, or whether they're allies from yet another dimension here to help ours prepare for war, remains to be seen.

I look forward to this show getting more and more batshit crazy.

I'd started watching it and got rapidly bored. I was disappointed with the show, but I'd still tune in occasionally if I was home and there wasn't a compelling Good Eats episode waiting on my DVR.

Then I watched this week's episode and decided I should start recording the show and maybe go back and watch the whole season if I can find it. The thing that got me the most was Walter's reaction to the manuscript. Right there I was like "Yes, that's the show I wanted this to be."

I recently gave up watching that show. The writers complete and utter lack of understanding of basic science or medicine just annoys me too much. I do like the characters and the story is interesting but the devil is in the details and it's just too much for me to be able to suspend my disbelief.
