Well, shitballs. I stopped watching Fringe after the whole 'Bolivia pregnancy thing' and I'm thinking I made the right call. Cause I'm completely stressed just reading your post. And they always do it where you have to wait 4 damn months for any resolution. ARGH!
It just figures that this year's cliff-hanger has to be that much bigger than last year's. I mean, looking from a writing standpoint, it's an awesome season ending, possibly winning most traumatic character exit ever as Peter is not just dead, but he's never existed (and if he's never existed then how could the universes have merged in the first place? Please explain show).
Ugh. I don't know if this is admiration I feel for the writers or the urge to smack them all upside the head.
I stopped watching Fringe after they started up with the Fauxlivia storyline. I guess it was just a little too much for me. Sounds from the season finale I may have made the right choice. Obviously, they can't totally negate Peter, but I think I just don't have the patience to sit there while they sort it all out.
As for Bones, I've been a fan so long that I continue to watch each week just because I feel somehow I should. The first part of the season was excruciating, but the second part has been increasingly better to the point where last night I was like, "There's the Bones I used to love!" (Even though we lost poor Vincent, who I really liked). I think they just need to stop playing games, and go with the classic formula coupled with a natural forward progression that made fans like the show in the first place. Progression being the operative word there.
Also, as a side note, thank you, thank you, thank you for spelling bawling correctly (though there's no reason why you wouldn't), because I literally saw two separate

I still have problems with the Fauxlivia storyline, especially the part where Peter acknowledged that he'd been noticing changes in "Olivia" and actually been making up excuses for them all along. Alas, the lure of Peter was too great for me to holdout for too long (and then there's Lincoln in the alternate world for those episodes). But this could be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I plan to give Fringe season four, and if they don't manage to fix the Peter situation within that time period then I'll probably drop the show. Although, really? The fact that it is one of the most well-written and developed television shows currently available will probably keep me tuning in each week for more.
I've seen about five of the episodes of this season of Bones and I've loved pretty much all of them. I admit that I mostly just came for Hodgins and Angela and their coming bundle of joy, but I've found myself pleasantly surprised by all of these episodes. As you pointed out there is a natural forward progression that this show does so

I seem to recall that my exact reaction to the Fringe finale was shouting at my television, "Wait. What?!" I enjoyed the episode. Not the parts where Peter is upset, because I lub me some Peter, but the general storyline this season has worked out to my satisfaction. Even the Fauxlivia situation eventually made some sense. I could have continued to hate her more than I did, but the longer she stayed on and the more brilliantly Anna Torv played her, they wore me down. I'll admit it. I gave in. Lincoln made me do it. I blame him.
Really what I loved the most about this season was the overarching storyline of Peter and Olivia loving one another. I ship them so hard it borders on unhealthy. I have faith in the writers bringing Peter back into the situation. It's not like Joshua Jackson is out of a job. I just want him brought back into the situation in such a way that I'm not deprived of all the Peter/Olivia progress.
On one final note: I wish Walternate a horribly painful, mangled demise. That is all.

Mr. Vincent Nigel Murray. As a keeper of totally useless knowledge, I loved him more than all of the other squinterns combined. His dying, and the method in which he left his television world, was far more painful than I could have imagined. As a natural boo-hoo-er, I was a mess after that scene. It was very reminiscent of the medic dying in Saving Private Ryan. They could have killed Daisy and I wouldn't have minded a bit.

It was amazing how painful his death was, especially for a recurring character. I don't know what affected me most - Vincent pleading to be allowed to stay while he's dying or when the team all revealed their favourite useless fact Vincent had told them. I personally loved how Vincent complied that list together for Hodgins and Angela about the other 1/4 problems their child could have in an effort to cheer them up (and now, if the kid is a boy, I want them to name the baby after him).
I would have preferred it if they'd killed off Colin Fisher or Clark - neither of those interns really interest me.
My love for Peter prompts me to make a super long response. green_amberjadeMay 16 2011, 00:09:35 UTC
There were so many things that I loved in the finale, from Peter and Olivia's respective reactions when Ella brought up how Peter was claiming he was from 2011 at the start of the episode and Peter's immediate reaction was to look Olivia right in the eyes and tell her what he made her for breakfast last Sunday. Then there was the discussion about one day having children (a whole tribe of Bishops!), and Walter welcoming Olivia to the family several years late. But my favourite moment was probably when Peter called Walter his dad. There was a great deal of squealing and general happiness at that moment

Fall will not be able to come quick enough.
