"Sometimes what we wake up, it can't be put back to sleep". Yeah, Nick Lane, I know that feeling.I think it's amazing how they were able to capture in this quote not only Fringe itself, but also how life works to me. You can't watch the events involving the FBI agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) without realizing how this is a very important message for the show, ever since she faces a very strange case about a plane crash on the first episode. The way to solve the case is to go looking for this famous scientist, Walter Bishop (John Noble), who is institutionalized because of some mental issues. And that also leads her to the scientist' son, Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson), who has been living all around the world, dealing with traffic and some bad stuff, because only he can free his father from the institution.That way, they formed the Fringe Division inside FBI, a special division focused on investigating some science-related crimes that couldn't get to the general public. The Fringe division also had Agent Astro... Aspirin... Astrix... Astrid! A lovely and incredibly intelligent woman, played by Jasika Nicole, and the one responsible for the Fringe Division inside FBI, the Special-Agent Phillip Broyles (Lance Reddick). Along the way, almost all the cases as related somehow to a big worldwide technology company, Massive Dynamic, which brings us to Nina Sharp (Blair Brown), someone who you'll need a lot of time to decide weather you like and trust her or not. Oh, and how to forget about Gene? Especially in final episode...Anyway, J.J. Abrams and the other directors had done a great job with the TV Show, giving us a kind of complex, well-constructed and emotional backstory to the characters. They're continuously showing us how strong the relationship grows between the character as they keep travelling through alternative realities and trying to prevent the both worlds to end, thanks to a very special event that happened long ago in the past.Of course the show has its lows, but the highs... There is simply no way one can finish watching the series and not feel completely touched and changed from the inside out after all the proofs of caring, redemption, forgiveness, hope and, above all, love.And there's no other way to finish this than to wish a White Tulip for everyone of us. Have a nice life, people.

J.J. is an amazing man. First I watched his "Alias" and was completely in love with Jennifer Garner) It's a kind of magic) What J.J. does and I'd like to thank him here) Thank you J.J. for making these shows that make some moments of my life truly magical))Now... no spoilers at all. Just a hint) Tiny one) The choice for John Noble for this show was a hit) The thing is his Denethor character, in the Lord of the rings,how he was deeply... madly obsessed with his sons, and mostly, Faramir... this obsession and this character was somehow brought into this show.But Walther Bishop is not Denethor he is a joyride)) This actor John Noble creates such an impossible character... deeply humane, deeply..hugely funny..and yet with a shakespearean tragedy inside. You know, you can watch Fringe on a rainy day and get sunshine from this Walther)) Try it) I actually prefer this show to Lost. The chemistry between the main characters is not just believable, it's alive) I think Fringe is the most kind, humane and really ... best thing J.J. did really)) There are some horror scenes, some FBI routine but this company of leading characters it... feels like family in a good way)) And this is what I would really like to stress out. The thing that J.J. does and always tries to do is actually not fantasy, sci-fi and twists in a plot. It is about people being together. Despite of all differences, all the controversies, offences and misconceptions... to be together and be happy.. simple and true... this is his message)) So... I guess I haven't made a very good review about the show because I'm kind of living in it...with it... with these very beautiful characters) But give it a try)) Do not compare it to X Files or other shows, just remember - this is a brilliant show, full of great stories , great twists, great people, but in the fist place, first and foremost it is about pepole being together, the story of Humanity
