◼
►
fall i believe i was just podcast along
[TS]
00:01:41
◼
►
now that I don't even remember the too
[TS]
00:01:44
◼
►
many episodes so so fringe I thought it
[TS]
00:01:49
◼
►
has been a show that is generally gotten
[TS]
00:01:51
◼
►
better over time as they've gotten to
[TS]
00:01:54
◼
►
evolve their story and this season we
[TS]
00:01:56
◼
►
really got to see I think they're kind
[TS]
00:01:59
◼
►
of full-blown concept of the two
[TS]
00:02:02
◼
►
parallel universes and all the different
[TS]
00:02:06
◼
►
all the different ramifications of that
[TS]
00:02:09
◼
►
and you know what it but it's
[TS]
00:02:12
◼
►
interesting to look back on it from from
[TS]
00:02:14
◼
►
when where we started this season this
[TS]
00:02:17
◼
►
season started with this idea that
[TS]
00:02:19
◼
►
Olivia had been swapped with her
[TS]
00:02:21
◼
►
duplicate and
[TS]
00:02:22
◼
►
she had been like locked up in a in a in
[TS]
00:02:25
◼
►
a Cell in the Ultimate Universe and the
[TS]
00:02:27
◼
►
duplicate Olivia was in place but we
[TS]
00:02:30
◼
►
ended up getting was sort of alternating
[TS]
00:02:32
◼
►
storylines for a while where we were in
[TS]
00:02:33
◼
►
one universe and we're in the other
[TS]
00:02:35
◼
►
universe and you know I i really liked
[TS]
00:02:37
◼
►
it i thought that when I really well and
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
was great use of the cast being able to
[TS]
00:02:41
◼
►
be two different characters but it's
[TS]
00:02:43
◼
►
still being one show i really enjoyed it
[TS]
00:02:45
◼
►
and it's funny because one around the
[TS]
00:02:47
◼
►
time the season started I watching an
[TS]
00:02:49
◼
►
interview with former foes the Catholic
[TS]
00:02:51
◼
►
was just the cast or a few of the the
[TS]
00:02:53
◼
►
main members and they kept stressing
[TS]
00:02:56
◼
►
this idea that like their goal was to
[TS]
00:02:59
◼
►
make you care about those alternate
[TS]
00:03:01
◼
►
versions of the characters like and not
[TS]
00:03:02
◼
►
just having begin makes likely evil Kirk
[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►
right like on Star Trek but to actually
[TS]
00:03:07
◼
►
have you sort of sympathize with those
[TS]
00:03:10
◼
►
alternate characters and they said you
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
know if we've done that then our job is
[TS]
00:03:13
◼
►
really is really done and I think they
[TS]
00:03:15
◼
►
actually managed to pull it off like you
[TS]
00:03:17
◼
►
know they were in almost I mean there
[TS]
00:03:19
◼
►
are few almost entire episodes in which
[TS]
00:03:21
◼
►
we don't see our universe right and i
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
still felt really engaged in like
[TS]
00:03:28
◼
►
interested in what was going on I really
[TS]
00:03:30
◼
►
came to like a lot of the characters in
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
the alternate universe it gave us a
[TS]
00:03:34
◼
►
chance to like play around with some
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
characters who I felt like got kinda
[TS]
00:03:37
◼
►
short shrift in our universe like
[TS]
00:03:39
◼
►
Charlie for example rather they killed
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
off and right and so we get the
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
alternate version and he's kinda you
[TS]
00:03:45
◼
►
know I think he's there's something
[TS]
00:03:47
◼
►
about a lot of the characters in the
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
alternate universe that are almost more
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
I mean it's more of a science fiction
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
using the universe and some rice so and
[TS]
00:03:55
◼
►
the characters are I think a little more
[TS]
00:03:56
◼
►
allowed to Duke like slightly crazier
[TS]
00:03:58
◼
►
stuff for be a little more off the wall
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
I mean like the the alternate Olivia and
[TS]
00:04:04
◼
►
they and they say point this out i think
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
which I which I found interesting
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
because a lot of people can sort of
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
characterize Anna tours you know
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
performance and effort season and tu as
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
des very you know wooden reserved and I
[TS]
00:04:15
◼
►
think you know seeing her play the
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
alternate Livia that we've realized that
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
like a lot of that's the character right
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
and not necessarily heard she's capable
[TS]
00:04:24
◼
►
of playing a character who's a little
[TS]
00:04:25
◼
►
more you know outgoing and I
[TS]
00:04:29
◼
►
it has a little more you know spark to
[TS]
00:04:31
◼
►
her but that's just they're different
[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
they're different people
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
I think your game everybody all the
[TS]
00:04:36
◼
►
actors so really nice material and that
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
they get to differentiate themselves a
[TS]
00:04:41
◼
►
little bit but you're right i think that
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
anna torv showed that the most because
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
Olivia such a button-down character
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
she's just locked in she's your you know
[TS]
00:04:50
◼
►
tough FBI agent you know very similar
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
personality and so you know she got to
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
do a lot of other kind of wacky stuff
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
that is is beyond what she was asked to
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
do before and I think she did show a lot
[TS]
00:05:01
◼
►
more range than then I had given her
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
credit for the one that surprised me the
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
most was out Walter because I mean
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
obviously it's an actor playing a
[TS]
00:05:09
◼
►
character in the wacky Walter and then
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
the main universe but my lord of the
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
rings he's he's nuts to write so yeah
[TS]
00:05:16
◼
►
but a different kind of nuts but the
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
wall turn it like it looks like almost
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
like they use cg to change his face
[TS]
00:05:22
◼
►
because his whole life he stands up
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
straight and he's he's much more grim
[TS]
00:05:26
◼
►
and his face looks less rumbly in the
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
comas hair and he just looks so
[TS]
00:05:29
◼
►
different acts so different and just
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
totally convincing I i'll actually like
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
Walternate better than Walter yeah
[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
actually so I hardcore you know I
[TS]
00:05:37
◼
►
thought in the season finale I had a I
[TS]
00:05:39
◼
►
had a feeling that they were gonna kill
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
Walter and leave us with Walter net
[TS]
00:05:42
◼
►
which would have been sort of sad and
[TS]
00:05:44
◼
►
yet would have been fascinating because
[TS]
00:05:45
◼
►
you still have the same actor and and
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
they're both great characters
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
yeah Walter 'not such a hundred 90
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
degree shift for multi guess the idea
[TS]
00:05:54
◼
►
and the show is the Walter was so he
[TS]
00:05:57
◼
►
actually removed parts of his brain
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
because he was getting all messed up
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
yeah he's just he's messed up and sort
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
of probably messed up in somewhere i
[TS]
00:06:04
◼
►
love his i love I would be sad to see
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
Walter go I felt like because for no
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
other reason than those you know those
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
first two seasons don't work you know
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
like he is the most interesting part of
[TS]
00:06:13
◼
►
the show several seasons him in the cow
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
right and at first but the first two
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
seasons
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
I felt like they burned through a lot of
[TS]
00:06:22
◼
►
their character their character set up
[TS]
00:06:26
◼
►
so they had done like so you have the
[TS]
00:06:28
◼
►
relationship thing between Pacey and and
[TS]
00:06:30
◼
►
whatsherface are you calling tasted too
[TS]
00:06:32
◼
►
i got that everyone does that case yeah
[TS]
00:06:34
◼
►
it's called his paces are shadowed paid
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
that Peter in the Ultimate Universe died
[TS]
00:06:39
◼
►
but our universe but then they went to
[TS]
00:06:41
◼
►
the ultimate universal brought back pace
[TS]
00:06:42
◼
►
PCB and you have a Walther with his
[TS]
00:06:45
◼
►
guilt over his son and he's in the
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
insane asylum like they had a bunch of
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
setup of like what here the tensions
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
between the characters and sort of like
[TS]
00:06:52
◼
►
once Peter gets together you know it's
[TS]
00:06:54
◼
►
kind of like once Mulder and Scully get
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
together that's kind of you know what do
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
you do now you likely break them up and
[TS]
00:06:59
◼
►
then put it back together you gotta send
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
the alternate whatever Walter like we
[TS]
00:07:03
◼
►
found that his brain was messed up we
[TS]
00:07:05
◼
►
you know his son pretty much forgave him
[TS]
00:07:07
◼
►
and that tension from the first season
[TS]
00:07:08
◼
►
is gone he settled into his work you
[TS]
00:07:11
◼
►
know like all those things are starting
[TS]
00:07:12
◼
►
to resolve themselves and you got to get
[TS]
00:07:14
◼
►
into like secondary and tertiary
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
conflicts where you either re-involved
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
the original conflict or try to get up
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
some new one the alternate universe
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
gives you a whole new set of conflicts
[TS]
00:07:24
◼
►
with these characters have different
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
relationships you know they're not in
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
the same relationships and there's
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
different tensions between people is
[TS]
00:07:30
◼
►
traditionally noticed that the romance
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
things where person a is interested in
[TS]
00:07:34
◼
►
person be but are they going to get
[TS]
00:07:35
◼
►
together as a couple more of those in
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
the alternate universe and there's you
[TS]
00:07:39
◼
►
know is this character irredeemably evil
[TS]
00:07:41
◼
►
vs is he gonna you know have feelings
[TS]
00:07:43
◼
►
for his son and stuff like that so in
[TS]
00:07:46
◼
►
season 2 they start to introduce those
[TS]
00:07:48
◼
►
in season three was like well we're
[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
getting kind of tired of the main
[TS]
00:07:51
◼
►
universe because we've burned through
[TS]
00:07:53
◼
►
all of our stock there so let's do a
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
whole bunch of stuff in the alternate
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
universe where everything can be like
[TS]
00:07:58
◼
►
fresh and new again we're like we can
[TS]
00:07:59
◼
►
look at their the same actors and
[TS]
00:08:01
◼
►
they're really the same you know people
[TS]
00:08:03
◼
►
supposedly but its all new situations
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
and we can expect different things out
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
of them now for the for the next season
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
i wonder they're going to make a third
[TS]
00:08:12
◼
►
universe like it's just gonna be you
[TS]
00:08:13
◼
►
know you sob the glimpse at a third
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
universe right well it's it's it's well
[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►
so there's a couple things going on I i
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
do want to i do want to get there
[TS]
00:08:21
◼
►
because I have an idea about what's
[TS]
00:08:23
◼
►
going to happen in the next season two
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
but to talk about that the the two sets
[TS]
00:08:28
◼
►
for a little bit longer
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
you know you're right I agree completely
[TS]
00:08:32
◼
►
i think not only did they allow us to
[TS]
00:08:35
◼
►
see these alternate versions and Dan you
[TS]
00:08:38
◼
►
know it's so true these are the like
[TS]
00:08:39
◼
►
x-men versions the fringe division to
[TS]
00:08:41
◼
►
the establishment they have great a big
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
cool headquarters in a truck that they
[TS]
00:08:47
◼
►
drive around in and they don't even like
[TS]
00:08:49
◼
►
they've been doing all this stuff a lot
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
longer right because I must be no don't
[TS]
00:08:52
◼
►
remember
[TS]
00:08:53
◼
►
right so the amber the vortexes and the
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
and all those like you know the the
[TS]
00:08:58
◼
►
cracks in the university they have to
[TS]
00:09:00
◼
►
deal with living in his eyes I universe
[TS]
00:09:01
◼

much like Walternate the secretary of

[TS]
00:12:25
◼

Broyles dead right I thought more people
[TS]
00:12:26
◼
►
would be killed actually but that will
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
death of alternate Broyles which was I
[TS]
00:12:31
◼
►
think it may be the high point of the
[TS]
00:12:33
◼
►
whole season is that episode where the
[TS]
00:12:36
◼
►
the pho olivia is found out and Royals
[TS]
00:12:40
◼
►
is being convinced by alternate Broyles
[TS]
00:12:43
◼
►
has been convinced by our Olivia that he
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
needs that that Walter is dangerous and
[TS]
00:12:47
◼
►
needs to let her go and the you know in
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
the end you know our Broyles finds his
[TS]
00:12:54
◼
►
ya dead body
[TS]
00:12:56
◼
►
yeah of yourself it seems to have
[TS]
00:12:59
◼
►
bounced back from that pretty well I get
[TS]
00:13:00
◼
►
anybody else has like the same scenes in
[TS]
00:13:03
◼
►
every episode
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
like damn attitude but they didn't
[TS]
00:13:06
◼
►
didn't give him room to like we don't
[TS]
00:13:07
◼
►
like we're not inside Broyles head to
[TS]
00:13:09
◼
►
see how this is affecting and they gave
[TS]
00:13:10
◼
►
maybe 12 scenes where he's supposed to
[TS]
00:13:12
◼
►
look concerned about the fact that we
[TS]
00:13:13
◼
►
just saw his own body parts called
[TS]
00:13:15
◼
►
littered all over the inside of that and
[TS]
00:13:17
◼
►
it makes me sad because Lance if you
[TS]
00:13:19
◼
►

[TS]
00:13:20
◼
►
Lance Reddick is a is a fantastic actor

[TS]
00:13:26
◼
►
he's been one of my my disappointments
[TS]
00:13:27
◼
►
in the show and I just feel that he's
[TS]
00:13:29
◼
►
underutilized and they could be like
[TS]
00:13:30
◼
►
Skinner like Skinner was underutilized
[TS]
00:13:32
◼
►
the x-files for a long time and hold
[TS]
00:13:34
◼
►
still is decided you know what let's
[TS]
00:13:35
◼
►
make Skinner do crazy stuff and then you
[TS]
00:13:37
◼
►
know he's gonna be able in the future is
[TS]
00:13:39
◼
►
he's a senator with a glass eye so easy
[TS]
00:13:42
◼
►
he's the authority you know he's the
[TS]
00:13:43
◼
►
police captain basically right and it's
[TS]
00:13:45
◼
►
not it's a kind of a thankless part of
[TS]
00:13:48
◼
►
speaking of the wire bubbles is in
[TS]
00:13:50
◼
►
several episodes to as the all parallel
[TS]
00:13:52
◼
►

[TS]
00:13:56
◼
►
guest thing yeah I know but again you

00:13:58
◼
►

00:14:02
◼
►

[TS]
00:14:21
◼
►
he know we're recording this right now
[TS]
00:14:23
◼
►
what was that not i mean the whole any
[TS]
00:14:26
◼
►
more thing was very strange they kill
[TS]
00:14:28
◼
►
them off and I thought that was
[TS]
00:14:29
◼
►
perfectly good in the finale last year
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
and yet they decided they wanted to go
[TS]
00:14:33
◼
►
back to it and so we end up with two
[TS]
00:14:36
◼
►
episodes where Anna Torv does a leonard
[TS]
00:14:38
◼
►
nimoy impression and then we get a
[TS]
00:14:40
◼
►
really kind of fun and strange episode
[TS]
00:14:44
◼
►
that's half animated where his voice and
[TS]
00:14:46
◼
►
their animated well it was worse than
[TS]
00:14:48
◼
►
those uh those Taiwanese things or
[TS]
00:14:50
◼
►
whatever they call it goes it's that
[TS]
00:14:52
◼
►
it's the waking life technologies and
[TS]
00:14:55
◼
►
it's a it's a technique that I it's not
[TS]
00:14:57
◼
►
my favorite either but it is a style
[TS]
00:14:59
◼
►
kind of choice to do that sorry
[TS]
00:15:01
◼
►
execution-style no no but I i actually
[TS]
00:15:06
◼
►
think that my kind of like I kind of
[TS]
00:15:07
◼
►
enjoyed I kind of enjoyed her her
[TS]
00:15:10
◼
►
leonard nimoy picture i was in which she
[TS]
00:15:12
◼
►
was kinda funny but then you thought
[TS]
00:15:14
◼
►
that they were gonna take it seriously
[TS]
00:15:16
◼
►
and you can't to wait i was going yeah I
[TS]
00:15:20
◼
►
don't know I was ok with it didn't
[TS]
00:15:21
◼
►
bother me as much
[TS]
00:15:22
◼
►
I mean next season no I could yeah it
[TS]
00:15:25
◼
►
will always remember when Max and I
[TS]
00:15:28
◼
►
couldn't remember actually from the end
[TS]
00:15:29
◼
►
of last season Howe heat he was in the
[TS]
00:15:31
◼
►
alternate universe and he's there he
[TS]
00:15:33
◼
►
basically like holds people often in
[TS]
00:15:35
◼
►
order to give them time to get back
[TS]
00:15:37
◼
►
right yeah man like button if there's an
[TS]
00:15:39
◼
►
explosion and ok so we don't see him die
[TS]
00:15:42
◼
►
we just what he's losing the heart of
[TS]
00:15:44
◼
►
the explosion and that's right confusion
[TS]
00:15:46
◼
►
is when the Olivia's get switched I
[TS]
00:15:47
◼
►
think it's right all right so in the end
[TS]
00:15:51
◼
►
we have we have this final episode that
[TS]
00:15:56
◼
►
said in the future which is kind of
[TS]
00:15:58
◼
►
funny that they that they have this uh
[TS]
00:16:01
◼
►
almost like a season finale in the
[TS]
00:16:04
◼
►
penultimate episode where you know he
[TS]
00:16:07
◼
►
gets into the Machine and there's a
[TS]
00:16:10
◼
►
sudden he's in the future but that
[TS]
00:16:11
◼
►
wasn't the last episode there was a
[TS]
00:16:13
◼
►
whole last episode that set in this
[TS]
00:16:15
◼
►
possible future
[TS]
00:16:18
◼
►
I don't know wait what's interesting
[TS]
00:16:22
◼
►
well yeah and I mean I think what would
[TS]
00:16:24
◼
►
amuse me about it was that they
[TS]
00:16:26
◼
►
explained a lot of things that were kind
[TS]
00:16:30
◼
►
of lingering questions right like where
[TS]
00:16:32
◼
►
the machine came from right which I have
[TS]
00:16:34
◼
►
a big problem with because they were
[TS]
00:16:35
◼
►
talking there was this ridiculous thread
[TS]
00:16:37
◼
►
about the first people and back before
[TS]
00:16:40
◼
►
there were humans there was a machine
[TS]
00:16:42
◼
►
and I thought I thought well that's
[TS]
00:16:44
◼
►
ridiculous that couldn't be possible and
[TS]
00:16:46
◼
►
I i like to think that that was just set
[TS]
00:16:48
◼
►
up for the fact that no no that's our
[TS]
00:16:51
◼
►
characters going back in time with this
[TS]
00:16:52
◼
►
it's ok it's a red herring right you
[TS]
00:16:54
◼
►
know what they did if you're lucky if
[TS]
00:16:55
◼
►
you want lost people did is they realize
[TS]
00:16:57
◼
►
what we have repented a vague backstory
[TS]
00:17:00
◼
►
that could be this big gargantuan think
[TS]
00:17:01
◼
►
we better nip this in the bud because we
[TS]
00:17:03
◼
►
don't you know if you kept dragging it
[TS]
00:17:05
◼
►
out like were the first people who are

I tried to read it indeed not the guy I
[TS]
00:17:36
◼
►
three-quarters time I want to listen to
[TS]
00:17:37
◼
►
the podcast grounded for me
[TS]
00:17:39
◼
►
alright well what I think fascinating
[TS]
00:17:40
◼
►
about is I feel like I feel like the
[TS]
00:17:42
◼
►
issue it's very similar they are
[TS]
00:17:44
◼
►
essentially they seem like breach a
[TS]
00:17:46
◼
►
little bit right and in this idea of
[TS]
00:17:48
◼
►
these two parallel universes which in
[TS]
00:17:50
◼
►
the finale at least in that particular
[TS]
00:17:52
◼
►
point overlap i don't know i did struck
[TS]
00:17:56
◼
►
a chord in me sort of a sympathetic
[TS]
00:17:58
◼
►
chord in me for those those two that's
[TS]
00:18:00
◼
►
funny story I actually I thought of the
[TS]
00:18:03
◼
►
city in the city and we're talking about
[TS]
00:18:04
◼
►
discussed on the previous podcast China
[TS]
00:18:07
◼
►
Mieville novel award-winning novel the
[TS]
00:18:10
◼
►
city university I actually thought that
[TS]
00:18:11
◼
►
the end result of the final episode of
[TS]
00:18:14
◼
►
this season sets up almost that kind of
[TS]
00:18:17
◼
►
scenario except across universes where
[TS]
00:18:20
◼
►
in the city and the city the two cities
[TS]
00:18:22
◼
►
overlaid and there's the one building
[TS]
00:18:25
◼
►
that they can go in to transfer from one
[TS]
00:18:27
◼
►
to the other and write the two universes
[TS]
00:18:29
◼
►
are overlaid in this scenario and
[TS]
00:18:33
◼
►
Liberty Island basically the Statue of
[TS]
00:18:35
◼
►
Liberty is the one place where you can
[TS]
00:18:36
◼
►
connect from one universe to the other
[TS]
00:18:38
◼
►
so it presumably that's the the way that
[TS]
00:18:41
◼
►
they take this story next season is that
[TS]
00:18:43
◼
►
is that now is just an association
[TS]
00:18:45
◼
►
between right but people can go in and
[TS]
00:18:47
◼
►
out is the point right to their other
[TS]
00:18:49
◼
►
universes so presumably you could have
[TS]
00:18:50
◼
►
any number of kind of mixtures of people
[TS]
00:18:53
◼
►
going to one universe or another
[TS]
00:18:55
◼
►
universe because they're now the door is
[TS]
00:18:57
◼
►
open and anybody can step through
[TS]
00:18:59
◼
►
whereas before it was at supposedly kind
[TS]
00:19:02
◼
►
of but not really i need to transfer
[TS]
00:19:05
◼
►
found that to the other
[TS]
00:19:06
◼
►
I you know I have to admit from a
[TS]
00:19:08
◼
►
dramatic standpoint I I loved that
[TS]
00:19:10
◼
►
development just because I didn't see it
[TS]
00:19:12
◼
►
coming and when I I figured it out a
[TS]
00:19:15
◼
►
split second you know like before they
[TS]
00:19:17
◼
►
explained it and I just started cracking
[TS]
00:19:20
◼
►
up because I just thought like it
[TS]
00:19:22
◼
►
because they got that scene where
[TS]
00:19:23
◼
►
they're all like staring at each other
[TS]
00:19:24
◼
►
across the room and the way they cut it
[TS]
00:19:27
◼
►
i just like they did a great job because
[TS]
00:19:28
◼
►
I slowly you know they slowly sort of
[TS]
00:19:30
◼
►
sinks in like what just happened and
[TS]
00:19:33
◼
►
you're like oh my god this is going to
[TS]
00:19:35
◼
►
be you know this is going to change a
[TS]
00:19:37
◼
►
lot of things I was concerned with you
[TS]
00:19:39
◼
►
really how much about it will change
[TS]
00:19:41
◼
►
because you don't know if they're gonna
[TS]
00:19:42
◼
►
stick with it
[TS]
00:19:43
◼
►
this show is shown anything is that
[TS]
00:19:44
◼
►
whatever you think they're doing from
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
episode to episode the next episode they
[TS]
00:19:48
◼
►
can completely change their mind change
[TS]
00:19:49
◼
►
directly i don't think they could have I
[TS]
00:19:51
◼
►
don't think they can keep those two sets
[TS]
00:19:53
◼
►
of characters apart any further frankly
[TS]
00:19:54
◼
►
just because of the way that the
[TS]
00:19:55
◼
►
storylines were developing yeah i mean
[TS]
00:19:57
◼
►
they already have already killed one
[TS]
00:19:58
◼
►
whole set of them off but then said no
[TS]
00:20:00
◼
►
no rewind actually what we're doing here
[TS]
00:20:02
◼
►
is we're teaching the AC whose
[TS]
00:20:04
◼
►
envisioning this the lesson that will
[TS]
00:20:06
◼
►
prevent this for you know I mean they
[TS]
00:20:08
◼
►
just go in so many different directions
[TS]
00:20:09
◼
►
it with any time travel type thing right
[TS]
00:20:11
◼
►
at any point any set of characters can
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
be alive or dead that entire universe
[TS]
00:20:15
◼
►
was gone you know and and did a whole
[TS]
00:20:17
◼
►
show with that our universe gone but by
[TS]
00:20:19
◼
►
the end of that should've said no just
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
kidding it's actually to teach basic
[TS]
00:20:22
◼
►
lesson I go back home but it would solve
[TS]
00:20:23
◼
►
the over obvious was wasn't it though
[TS]
00:20:25
◼
►
that they weren't they were going to set
[TS]
00:20:28
◼
►
the rest of the show in the future there
[TS]
00:20:30
◼
►
was obviously yeah i know you never know
[TS]
00:20:31
◼
►
what I want to have another woman killed
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
the man characters but yes I think I'm
[TS]
00:20:35
◼
►
loop episode except from the other side
[TS]
00:20:37
◼
►
of it where you know they're gonna
[TS]
00:20:38
◼
►
figure out that they need to change
[TS]
00:20:39
◼
►
history and then they do I mean it was
[TS]
00:20:41
◼
►
sort of watching it slow and around so i
[TS]
00:20:44
◼
►
would say yes but in this show like for
[TS]
00:20:46
◼
►
example i saw i saw that they were gonna
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
do this overlap thing they would have to
[TS]
00:20:49
◼
►
meet and figure out how to resolve the
[TS]
00:20:51
◼
►
differences because that's the only that
[TS]
00:20:52
◼
►
it's clearly the way they were going but
[TS]
00:20:54
◼
►
then Pacey disappears I didn't see that
[TS]
00:20:56
◼
►
no that was yeah I was a shocker the
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
idea that they've somehow change time
[TS]
00:20:59
◼
►
and some not longer certainly not only
[TS]
00:21:02
◼
►
made him disappear and never you know
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
like not be people are going nowhere to
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
everyone just forgot he existed yeah now
[TS]
00:21:08
◼
►
that was a challenge me a little bit
[TS]
00:21:10
◼
►
because i don't personally i don't know
[TS]
00:21:12
◼
►
whether the actors leaving the show
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
because and then the practical sense
[TS]
00:21:14
◼
►
that's what you need to know to know
[TS]
00:21:16
◼
►
where they're going to do with the
[TS]
00:21:17
◼
►
actors i understand this is the way you
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
get them off the show he's my
[TS]
00:21:19
◼
►
understanding show you know if he's not
[TS]
00:21:21
◼
►
leaving the show what I have to do what
[TS]
00:21:23
◼
►
I'm not looking forward to his next
[TS]
00:21:26
◼
►
like I like the idea of no one remembers
[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
that existed but he's not leaving the
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
show we gotta deal with the whole season
[TS]
00:21:30
◼
►
of people going Pacey that name it means
[TS]
00:21:33
◼
►
something to me I remember remember
[TS]
00:21:35
◼
►
create loved him once and look if he
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
didn't exist he didn't exist right but
[TS]
00:21:40
◼
►
then they can't hold that line because
[TS]
00:21:42
◼
►
then you know where will he be he won't
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
be on the show anymore
[TS]
00:21:45
◼
►
well I assume the emotional touchy-feely
[TS]
00:21:47
◼
►
like well he didn't exist but the oven
[TS]
00:21:49
◼
►
doors and they still remember and that
[TS]
00:21:51
◼
►
BS bothers me
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
Mike Bryant my assumption you know just
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
based on my own feeling is that he's
[TS]
00:21:57
◼
►
going to become an observer basically or
[TS]
00:21:59
◼
►
somehow and doctors head with the
[TS]
00:22:01
◼
►
observers you guys got shaved huh
[TS]
00:22:03
◼
►
I is a pepper I'm with John in the sense
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►
that I sort of dread the them stretching
[TS]
00:22:07
◼
►
that story out because quite frankly I
[TS]
00:22:10
◼
►
mean if they're not getting rid of them
[TS]
00:22:12
◼
►
and they're not
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
I you know it's a it's a fun plot twist
[TS]
00:22:16
◼
►
but if we spend eight episodes of people
[TS]
00:22:18
◼
►
gradually realizing that he actually did
[TS]
00:22:20
◼
►
exist that that sounds like death to me
[TS]
00:22:23
◼
►
I'd much rather than Brazil likely i
[TS]
00:22:26
◼
►
like the idea that he didn't ever exist
[TS]
00:22:28
◼
►
I that's that's good sci-fi to me that
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
he just blink and he's gone and he never
[TS]
00:22:32
◼
►
existed and you don't have like you
[TS]
00:22:34
◼
►
don't have these hints of like I seem to
[TS]
00:22:36
◼
►
remember no you don't remember because
[TS]
00:22:37
◼
►
he never use it that's the whole point
[TS]
00:22:39
◼
►
like that's that's committing to you
[TS]
00:22:41
◼
►
know but it doesn't make sense and I
[TS]
00:22:43
◼
►
think that's probably where they're
[TS]
00:22:46
◼
►
gonna go with it is that it doesn't
[TS]
00:22:47
◼
►
really make sense because the whole
[TS]
00:22:48
◼
►
reason that the two universes and the
[TS]
00:22:50
◼
►
one hand and the one has problems is
[TS]
00:22:53
◼
►
because of the of Walter coming over
[TS]
00:22:55
◼
►
across and saving his life and that they
[TS]
00:22:57
◼
►
couldn't let me have any of the numbers
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
if the observers like I like you could
[TS]
00:23:02
◼
►
you don't know where the observers
[TS]
00:23:03
◼
►
coming into this so you could make sense
[TS]
00:23:04
◼
►
of it by saying well he went back to get
[TS]
00:23:06
◼
►
a son but the observers knew that
[TS]
00:23:07
◼
►
clearly couldn't happen but one of them
[TS]
00:23:09
◼
►
had a soft spot so make him think he was
[TS]
00:23:10
◼
►
bringing him back and really peter is a
[TS]
00:23:12
◼
►
manufacturer the Peter they brought back
[TS]
00:23:14
◼
►
as a manufactured entity from the
[TS]
00:23:15
◼
►
observers to try to stitch up the
[TS]
00:23:17
◼
►
timelines and then I had exist you know
[TS]
00:23:19
◼
►
when he died and he died in both
[TS]
00:23:21
◼
►
universes but before they took him away
[TS]
00:23:23
◼
►
in fact they got so thorough they just
[TS]
00:23:25
◼
►
killed joshua jackson like you know what
[TS]
00:23:27
◼
►
this is really method acting reinstall
[TS]
00:23:30
◼
►
the tapes of dawson's creek
[TS]
00:23:32
◼
►
no no it was only on mr. a spacey and
[TS]
00:23:34
◼
►
then it looks very strange but it's like
[TS]
00:23:36
◼
►
Garfield Garfield huh yeah yeah but it's
[TS]
00:23:40
◼
►
you know it could be fun right i mean if
[TS]
00:23:41
◼
►
they do it right about the idea that one
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
of your main characters is just vanished
[TS]
00:23:45
◼
►
could could be fun i just i dreaded
[TS]
00:23:47
◼
►
getting dragged out
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
also we'll see i don't i don't like the
[TS]
00:23:50
◼
►
touchy-feely think he's gone are you
[TS]
00:23:52
◼
►
right on your right i don't want to see
[TS]
00:23:54
◼
►
him like I guess him in an internal
[TS]
00:23:57
◼
►
really person in this party is ok well i
[TS]
00:24:00
◼
►
really like pacing in a different
[TS]
00:24:01
◼
►
universe where he realizes that he's
[TS]
00:24:03
◼
►
been taken out of it
[TS]
00:24:05
◼
►
mine wants to get back and he has you
[TS]
00:24:07
◼
►
know ways where he's trying maybe he's
[TS]
00:24:09
◼
►
there may be using the third universe
[TS]
00:24:11
◼
►
with the other Walter trying to look I
[TS]
00:24:13
◼
►
can't explain the situation saying you
[TS]
00:24:15
◼
►
have to get me back to my universe and
[TS]
00:24:16
◼
►
they're constantly doing things that
[TS]
00:24:17
◼
►
affect the other universe and eventually
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
gets back you know that makes sense
[TS]
00:24:22
◼
►
plot-wise but in the fridge universe but
[TS]
00:24:24
◼
►
the the business where you you know they
[TS]
00:24:28
◼
►
did this with Olivia to like are you the
[TS]
00:24:30
◼
►
new Olivia the old one I seem to
[TS]
00:24:31
◼
►
remember there was this man right I
[TS]
00:24:33
◼
►
loved and you know that love conquers
[TS]
00:24:35
◼
►
all stuff the future scenario i thought
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
was I thought was fun
[TS]
00:24:41
◼
►
I i thought that it was obvious that we
[TS]
00:24:42
◼
►
were just kind of dwelling in it in
[TS]
00:24:46
◼
►
order to see the past get changed and I
[TS]
00:24:48
◼
►
thought it was a little weird that you
[TS]
00:24:49
◼
►
know peter is is his consciousness to
[TS]
00:24:52
◼
►
sort of taken forward but then he he
[TS]
00:24:54
◼
►
doesn't remember it's and which seemed
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
kind of inconsistent like they did that
[TS]
00:24:58
◼
►
so that we would see what was going on
[TS]
00:25:00
◼
►
but that's not actually what it was so I
[TS]
00:25:02
◼
►
thought that was kind of confusing but
[TS]
00:25:03
◼
►
it was interesting to see all right here
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
are the ramifications of this future we
[TS]
00:25:07
◼
►
destroyed the other universe which is
[TS]
00:25:08
◼
►
what you thought we were going to do
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
because you wouldn't destroy our
[TS]
00:25:11
◼
►
universe and it turns out everything is
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
bad so that's not the solution so we
[TS]
00:25:16
◼
►
have to go for some other wacky your
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
solution I you know I enjoyed venture go
[TS]
00:25:20
◼
►
yeah yeah we gonna do it again what they
[TS]
00:25:23
◼
►
did a great job with is the fact that
[TS]
00:25:24
◼
►
the whole the whole the future universe
[TS]
00:25:28
◼
►
feels very flushed out you know very
[TS]
00:25:30
◼
►
realized in terms of its its distinct
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
right from both universes it's kind of
[TS]
00:25:34
◼
►
got a little bit of both but at the same
[TS]
00:25:36
◼
►
time its own thing we get to see you
[TS]
00:25:39
◼
►
know Olivia to hire and basically like
[TS]
00:25:41
◼
►
Broyles job and we have to see her you

00:25:48
◼

everything and I don't know I felt like
[TS]
00:25:50
◼

a very it was a very sci-fi universe
[TS]
00:25:52
◼

which one to alter in jail that was just
[TS]
00:25:55
◼
►
there is no justice in that
[TS]
00:25:56
◼

guess I don't think as we it was never
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
clear no try it was clear why they were
[TS]
00:26:02
◼

saying he was in jail it was saying he
[TS]
00:26:03
◼

was in jail because it's like you did
[TS]
00:26:04

this you know our universe is falling
[TS]
00:26:06
◼

apart it's basically your fault but of
[TS]
00:26:08

all the like everything he's done has
[TS]
00:26:09
◼

been motivated in good ways meet say he
[TS]
00:26:11
◼

saved the universe effectively so many
[TS]
00:26:13
◼

different times you gonna blame him for
[TS]
00:26:14
◼

like well it's I've never tried to save

your son i think

they generally titles i think they
[TS]
00:26:19

deliberately you know but despite the
[TS]
00:26:22
◼

fact that they just say she was put on
[TS]
00:26:23
◼

trial for that I think we're
[TS]
00:26:25
◼
►
deliberately missing piece of pieces of
[TS]
00:26:26
◼
►
that puzzle in the same way that you
[TS]
00:26:29
◼
►
know we're told that Broyles you know
[TS]
00:26:30
◼

lost his eye and Peter says alibaba you
[TS]
00:26:33
◼

know you remember Detroit like these are
[TS]
00:26:35
◼

things that are clearly you know were
[TS]
00:26:37
◼

deliberately left out and I mean I
[TS]
00:26:38
◼

really like Walter should be in jail and
[TS]
00:26:40
◼
►
their primary universe 20 times over for
[TS]
00:26:42
◼
►
the stuff that he's done unwilling
[TS]
00:26:45
◼
►
victims and to the universal never but
[TS]
00:26:47
◼
►
now he gets the pass and the Prime
[TS]
00:26:48
◼
►
universe but in the future university
[TS]
00:26:50
◼
►
hey wait a second is Walter is really
[TS]
00:26:51
◼
►
screwing stuff up for us put him in jail
[TS]
00:26:53
◼
►
my little better
[TS]
00:26:55
◼
►
meanwhile in a really nice twist the
[TS]
00:26:58
◼
►
wall tournament is the only survivor of
[TS]
00:27:00
◼
►
his universe and it's just wandering
[TS]
00:27:02
◼
►
around which you know on one level talk
[TS]
00:27:04
◼
►
about a guy who is a kind of a bad guy
[TS]
00:27:06
◼
►
but I guess everybody sympathetic to him
[TS]
00:27:08
◼
►
after we help people that they feel bad
[TS]
00:27:11
◼
►
for this horrible mass murderer was
[TS]
00:27:12
◼
►
trying to destroy the universe but
[TS]
00:27:13
◼
►
Walter isn't there
[TS]
00:27:14
◼
►
Walter's in jail but Walter it's ok we
[TS]
00:27:16
◼
►
feel bad for him we killed the whole
[TS]
00:27:17
◼
►
universe is like a pity freedom but i do
[TS]
00:27:19
◼
►
love the fact that the wall that wall
[TS]
00:27:21
◼
►
turn it is is wandering around and
[TS]
00:27:23
◼
►
plotting and thatthat's that I thought
[TS]
00:27:26
◼
►
that was a really nice touch that the
[TS]
00:27:27
◼
►
idea of of him without without the rest
[TS]
00:27:30
◼
►
of his universe because honestly I
[TS]
00:27:32
◼
►
thought going into the finale that what
[TS]
00:27:35
◼
►
we were going to get with something a
[TS]
00:27:36
◼
►
little more devastating like they would
[TS]
00:27:38
◼
►
you know they would blow up one of the
[TS]
00:27:39
◼
►
universe's but that would be kind of
[TS]
00:27:41
◼
►
missing pieces or extra people on one
[TS]
00:27:43
◼
►
side and so that we you know we have
[TS]
00:27:46
◼
►
some more of that kind of missing you
[TS]
00:27:49
◼
►
know or just miss matched pairs of of
[TS]
00:27:52
◼
►
people but instead they you know I I
[TS]
00:27:55
◼
►
think we were all sort of led to believe
[TS]
00:27:57
◼
►
it was one universe vs another right
[TS]
00:27:59
◼
►
that was the whole setup and so that
[TS]
00:28:01
◼
►
final episode services saying no no no
[TS]
00:28:04
◼
►
you can't do that because everybody dies
[TS]
00:28:06
◼
►
or we figure out a way to work together
[TS]
00:28:09
◼
►
which you know is a cool-looking to next
[TS]
00:28:12
◼
►
season i think is a a really cool idea
[TS]
00:28:14
◼
►
that there everybody does have to work
[TS]
00:28:16
◼
►
together and and the doors are wide open
[TS]
00:28:18
◼
►
and and both universes are experiencing
[TS]
00:28:21
◼
►
the strange effects and it gives them a
[TS]
00:28:23
◼
►
lot of room for for a different kind of
[TS]
00:28:25
◼
►
storytelling next season then they had
[TS]
00:28:27
◼
►
this season where we had the the
[TS]
00:28:28
◼
►
parallels going back and forth
[TS]
00:28:30
◼
►
I don't think they spend enough time
[TS]
00:28:32
◼
►
talking about are hinting at
[TS]
00:28:34
◼
►
I mean this is something like I don't
[TS]
00:28:37
◼
►
know maybe we could not be too
[TS]
00:28:38
◼
►
heavy-handed but talking about why it is
[TS]
00:28:40
◼
►
the people within a particular universe
[TS]
00:28:41
◼
►
feel an allegiance to that universe
[TS]
00:28:43
◼
►
because Peters the perfect foil for that
[TS]
00:28:45
◼
►
because he went over to the other one is
[TS]
00:28:46
◼
►
like this is my real dad but maybe I
[TS]
00:28:48
◼
►
care about these people and it's like
[TS]
00:28:49
◼
►
what bio it by what thing are you
[TS]
00:28:52
◼
►
choosing to care about the people in
[TS]
00:28:54
◼
►
your year it's like it's like liking
[TS]
00:28:55
◼
►
sports team that that's closest to the
[TS]
00:28:56
◼
►
place that you were born it's really
[TS]
00:28:58
◼
►
just arbitrary and then they do what are
[TS]
00:29:00
◼
►
you saying you wouldn't fight for our
[TS]
00:29:01
◼
►
universe John and I'm saying like you
[TS]
00:29:03
◼
►
know they do is Patriot Act stuff with
[TS]
00:29:04
◼
►
the police state and they do all sorts
[TS]
00:29:06
◼
►
of like you know subtle and
[TS]
00:29:07
◼
►
not-so-subtle political statements but
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
never did they question the premise that
[TS]
00:29:10
◼
►
well of course the people from this
[TS]
00:29:12
◼
►
universe want want to save the people
[TS]
00:29:13
◼
►
miss universe and hate the people in the
[TS]
00:29:14
◼
►
other universe and it's just it's such a
[TS]
00:29:17
◼
►
sort of you know unquestioning
[TS]
00:29:19
◼
►
xenophobia they really makes no sense
[TS]
00:29:21
◼
►
that they're literally the same people
[TS]
00:29:23
◼
►
and are many Americans actually from the
[TS]
00:29:24
◼
►
other universe but in this one you know
[TS]
00:29:26
◼
►
yeah i think it's i mean you know you
[TS]
00:29:28
◼
►
can you can viewed as a comment on
[TS]
00:29:30
◼
►
patriotism if you want you know if you
[TS]
00:29:32
◼
►
really feel like sometimes but they had
[TS]
00:29:33
◼
►
a member they'd never explored like you
[TS]
00:29:35
◼
►
never see the characters argument even
[TS]
00:29:36
◼
►
when Peter was trying to forward his
[TS]
00:29:38
◼
►
allegiances were and stuff they never
[TS]
00:29:39
◼
►
it's always like a person like which
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
Olivia do love more it but it's never
[TS]
00:29:43
◼
►
like why why do we not care about the
[TS]
00:29:45
◼
►
people that universe why are we trying
[TS]
00:29:46
◼
►
to save our universe at the cost of
[TS]
00:29:48
◼
►
there's no making my second i think
[TS]
00:29:50
◼
►
that's the that's get seems like kind of
[TS]
00:29:52
◼
►
a no-brainer to me I mean like I think
[TS]
00:29:53
◼
►
that's how people would act well yeah
[TS]
00:29:54
◼
►
but I don't really have a lot of people
[TS]
00:29:56
◼
►
knowing like maybe this other university
[TS]
00:29:58
◼
►
so bad guys I think that's what happened
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
over there and your mom's still alive
[TS]
00:30:02
◼
►
and you know your friends are basically
[TS]
00:30:04
◼
►
there maybe you have a they have better
[TS]
00:30:06
◼
►
jobs and you have like sorry but doctors
[TS]
00:30:09
◼
►
are still in Brooklyn know right exactly
[TS]
00:30:11
◼
►
you know well west wing close i wasn't
[TS]
00:30:14
◼
►
all your texts sucking in matter your
[TS]
00:30:16
◼
►
no I think the reason that they have the
[TS]
00:30:18
◼
►
wall turn it is to set up a villain who
[TS]
00:30:20
◼
►
is sort of ruthlessly committed to
[TS]
00:30:23
◼
►
having their universe win and destroy
[TS]
00:30:25
◼
►
our universe to kind of offset some of
[TS]
00:30:27
◼
►
those questions and one minute more is
[TS]
00:30:29
◼
►
like like he's upset because someone
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
stole his son that's his origin story
[TS]
00:30:33
◼
►
right but it's just him and turned him
[TS]
00:30:36
◼
►
into this you know kind of power mad mad
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
museum easy that you can say is the
[TS]
00:30:40
◼
►
Emperor
[TS]
00:30:42
◼
►
he's got a little hologram you didn't
[TS]
00:30:43
◼
►
have the house come on but it's not
[TS]
00:30:45
◼
►
flickering blue so he's much better
[TS]
00:30:47
◼
►
hologram technology that doesn't have
[TS]
00:30:48
◼
►
much better hologram technology talk
[TS]
00:30:50
◼
►
about Star Wars sometime but not this
[TS]
00:30:51
◼
►
podcast on know the the I'm hoping that
[TS]
00:30:55
◼
►
next season will get a little more of
[TS]
00:30:56
◼
►
that where they're forced to work
[TS]
00:30:58
◼
►
together and therefore forced to perhaps
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
recognize that you know the universes
[TS]
00:31:02
◼
►
are different and and not one superior
[TS]
00:31:06
◼
►
to the other and that you know since
[TS]
00:31:07
◼
►
they're kind of tied together that's the
[TS]
00:31:09
◼
►
whole premise is it's not you can't just
[TS]
00:31:11
◼
►
destroy one and let the other live they
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
both have to find a way to survive which
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
is cool because that that turns that
[TS]
00:31:17
◼
►
story on its head although my wife kept
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
on repeating a line from i believe it's
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
Stargate where there's a parallel
[TS]
00:31:24
◼
►
universe episode and Teal'c says at one
[TS]
00:31:26
◼
►
point our universe is the only one of
[TS]
00:31:28
◼
►
consequence as he's like mowing down
[TS]
00:31:30
◼
►
parallel force in some people that
[TS]
00:31:32
◼
►
there's something to be said for that
[TS]
00:31:33
◼
►
that just pure sophisms like really i
[TS]
00:31:36
◼
►
don't i don't care about these other
[TS]
00:31:37
◼
►
parallel universe whatever it's mine i
[TS]
00:31:40
◼
►
want my universe to survive but the
[TS]
00:31:42
◼
►
other way what does it actually makes me
[TS]
00:31:44
◼
►
a little over there
[TS]
00:31:45
◼
►
yeah absolutely but I it that sort of
[TS]
00:31:47
◼
►
shortsightedness strikes me I just
[TS]
00:31:49
◼
►
totally realistic like people would just
[TS]
00:31:51
◼
►
yet people would just be like I don't
[TS]
00:31:53
◼
►
know those people that's like a toilet
[TS]
00:31:55
◼
►
yeah looks like you're ready with a
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
relative space a little they look like
[TS]
00:31:59
◼
►
me but that I don't know them you know
[TS]
00:32:00
◼
►
anybody but you think the the regular
[TS]
00:32:03
◼
►
people can be said about the protagonist
[TS]
00:32:04
◼
►
in the show are constantly dealing with
[TS]
00:32:06
◼
►
this alternate like they're they are the
[TS]
00:32:08
◼
►
people dealing with this problem
[TS]
00:32:10
◼
►
absolutely unacceptable too weird even
[TS]
00:32:12
◼
►
for us right well Pacey like I said
[TS]
00:32:15
◼
►
paces from the other universe and yet
[TS]
00:32:17
◼
►
he's chosen this other one to fight for
[TS]
00:32:19
◼
►
and why don't they say like hey you know
[TS]
00:32:20
◼
►
we're gonna kill everybody in supposedly
[TS]
00:32:22
◼
►
your universe but you seems like this
[TS]
00:32:24
◼
►
one is it because just because you grew
[TS]
00:32:25
◼
►
up here or you were here since you were
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
like it's basically two runners move to
[TS]
00:32:29
◼
►
move to the west coast when I was a kid
[TS]
00:32:31
◼
►
and that's why i like the giants and its
[TS]
00:32:33
◼
►
nature nature versus nurture jump so
[TS]
00:32:35
◼
►
when it comes down to one of the things
[TS]
00:32:36
◼
►
about the show that has always
[TS]
00:32:38
◼
►
fascinated me and we got a lot more of
[TS]
00:32:39
◼
►
that this season but it started last
[TS]
00:32:43
◼
►
season as well is is the fact that at
[TS]
00:32:46
◼
►
its core this show's premise that the
[TS]
00:32:50
◼
►
most important thing about this show is
[TS]
00:32:53
◼
►
this very
[TS]
00:32:54
◼
►
sad story about parents losing a child
[TS]
00:32:58
◼
►
and that and I really love this about
[TS]
00:33:02
◼
►
the show that the entire universe two
[TS]
00:33:04
◼
►
universes are put in just his in
[TS]
00:33:08
◼
►
existential peril because a guy wanted
[TS]
00:33:12
◼
►
to save his son and a particularly nice
[TS]
00:33:15
◼
►
guy too that's the best part
[TS]
00:33:16
◼
►
Walter was not not a you know like I
[TS]
00:33:19
◼
►
love guys could write he was he was
[TS]
00:33:20
◼
►
doing horrible things to children
[TS]
00:33:22
◼
►
yes he was experimenting with this
[TS]
00:33:24
◼
►
through his refusal to let his own son
[TS]
00:33:26
◼
►
go you know like his whole he has a good
[TS]
00:33:28
◼
►
character arc on it is you know I i like
[TS]
00:33:30
◼
►
most of the characters in the show
[TS]
00:33:31
◼
►
because the evil guy is kind of easily
[TS]
00:33:33
◼
►
good reason and the good guy Walter was
[TS]
00:33:35
◼
►
not really so good
[TS]
00:33:36
◼
►
most of his life right right it has a
[TS]
00:33:39
◼
►
sort of remove parts of his brain hurt
[TS]
00:33:42
◼
►
just different charities castrated
[TS]
00:33:44
◼
►
himself Natalie yeah but i just i love
[TS]
00:33:46
◼
►
that score I mean that the beauty of the
[TS]
00:33:49
◼
►
the whole pier Walter's relationship and
[TS]
00:33:52
◼
►
in the last episode we saw that where he
[TS]
00:33:53
◼
►
refers to Walter as his dad but refers

everyone has subtly different facial
[TS]
00:35:16

hair right i mean like that that's the
[TS]
00:35:18
◼

one thing that always kind of bothered
[TS]
00:35:19
◼
►
me about this show is what is the
[TS]
00:35:21
◼
►
rationale for two universes I I assume
[TS]
00:35:24
◼
►
there's an answer it doesn't make sense
[TS]
00:35:25
◼

if you think about it we went over this

last data is deleted

00:35:28
◼

yeah I can't let that kind of blows me
[TS]
00:35:31
◼

away was like I try not to think about
[TS]
00:35:32
◼
►
it you're you know there is why are
[TS]
00:35:34
◼
►
there only they have well I'm just
[TS]
00:35:36
◼
►
saying well that there might only be too
[TS]
00:35:37
◼
►
because they're linked because the one
[TS]
00:35:39
◼
►
that that that Walter burst through to
[TS]
00:35:41
◼
►
is this other version and that now
[TS]
00:35:43
◼
►
they're kind of stuck together but just
[TS]
00:35:45
◼
►
all the other ones have like they're all
[TS]
00:35:48
◼
►
like other the infinite number of
[TS]
00:35:49
◼
►
universes all just have dinosaurs in
[TS]
00:35:50
◼
►
them that's all these are the only two
[TS]
00:35:52
◼
►
with humans
[TS]
00:35:53
◼
►
well the fact that these two were like
[TS]
00:35:54
◼
►
identical you know identical except for
[TS]
00:35:56
◼
►
the Zeppelin's on the day they were
[TS]
00:35:58
◼
►
linked together is the ridiculous bit
[TS]
00:35:59
◼
►
you know that that they're they're
[TS]
00:36:01
◼
►
obviously different ways you can before
[TS]
00:36:03
◼
►
there was a whole burst through and now
[TS]
00:36:05
◼
►
it just it's a TV yeah it is yeah but i
[TS]
00:36:08
◼
►
guess i think between anyway and they
[TS]
00:36:10
◼
►
may actually tell the story at some
[TS]
00:36:11
◼
►
point about you know what was the
[TS]
00:36:12
◼
►
divergence pointer why is it like this
[TS]
00:36:14
◼
►
or they may just say you know let's just
[TS]
00:36:16
◼
►
say there are 2i I think somebody's
[TS]
00:36:18
◼
►
they're gonna I mean they're like
[TS]
00:36:20
◼
►
Battlestar it's all going to be God the
[TS]
00:36:23
◼
►
parent process or those sorry that we
[TS]
00:36:25
◼
►
always want to call them watchers there
[TS]
00:36:27
◼
►
the watchers from Marvel Comics made
[TS]
00:36:29
◼
►
into TV characters right observe the
[TS]
00:36:31
◼
►
difference between observing and
[TS]
00:36:33
◼
►
watching and it is who watches the
[TS]
00:36:34
◼
►
watchmen but who observe is the
[TS]
00:36:36
◼
►
observers right because in the Marvel
[TS]
00:36:38
◼
►
Comics is the bald guy who lives on the
[TS]
00:36:39
◼
►
moon and he watches what happens in
[TS]
00:36:41
◼
►
record and and occasionally will
[TS]
00:36:43
◼
►
interfere
[TS]
00:36:44
◼
►
even though he's not supposed to and
[TS]
00:36:46
◼
►
those bald guys are don't lift
[TS]
00:36:49
◼
►
well maybe they do live on the moon i
[TS]
00:36:50
◼
►
don't know where they live but that's
[TS]
00:36:51
◼
►
the observers infringed they're clearly
[TS]
00:36:53
◼
►
Starfleet officers violating the primary
[TS]
00:36:56
◼
►
so so well more seriously dead
[TS]
00:36:59
◼
►
hey the I don't use here by the way the
[TS]
00:37:02
◼
►
Star Trek thing you're very confusing
[TS]
00:37:04
◼
►

[TS]
00:37:05
◼
►
Kirk earlier and most people think of

◼
►

00:38:24
◼
►

[TS]
00:38:26
◼
►
something about friends next season the
[TS]
00:38:29
◼
►
universe all versions this is that you
[TS]
00:38:33
◼
►
talked about to eat why there were just
[TS]
00:38:34
◼
►
two of them and they were linked
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
oh yeah okay so I I got it so more
[TS]
00:38:39
◼
►
seriously though about the about the
[TS]
00:38:41
◼
►
observers are we going with this because
[TS]
00:38:45
◼
►
they keep they keep being in a little
[TS]
00:38:47
◼
►
tiny bit and saying kind of maddening
[TS]
00:38:49
◼
►
things and and at first i thought the
[TS]
00:38:52
◼
►
show is going to be about the observers
[TS]
00:38:53
◼
►
because they kind of appeared first and
[TS]
00:38:57
◼
►
now we've got this whole complexity of
[TS]
00:38:59
◼
►
these parallel universes and now i have
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
no idea what they're planning with more
[TS]
00:39:02
◼
►
a statue is yeah we're totes statue
[TS]
00:39:05
◼
►
all right you're right i shot early
[TS]
00:39:07
◼
►
early on and it's the one thread they
[TS]
00:39:09
◼
►
refuse to really pick up or step off and
[TS]
00:39:12
◼
►
it's just you got always have something
[TS]
00:39:13
◼
►
in reserve and since they're so vague
[TS]
00:39:15
◼
►
you can really make up anything you want
[TS]
00:39:17
◼
►
as their explanation at any point in a
[TS]
00:39:20
◼
►
timeline and not be inconsistent for
[TS]
00:39:22
◼
►
total expenditure was a lot later and
[TS]
00:39:24
◼
►
lost but but I'm season 2 wasn't
[TS]
00:39:27
◼
►
the idea was the last episode is a
[TS]
00:39:30
◼
►
decision one
[TS]
00:39:31
◼
►
no no last episode of season two yeah
[TS]
00:39:34
◼
►
seems like pretty early because you're
[TS]
00:39:36
◼
►
just like so that was my favorite part
[TS]
00:39:39
◼
►
of Los was that foretold statue and then
[TS]
00:39:41
◼
►
just John that said he there what else
[TS]
00:39:46
◼
►
might I thought was that reveal the best
[TS]
00:39:48
◼
►
reveal ever
[TS]
00:39:50
◼
►
yeah why doesn't have four toes no
[TS]
00:39:53
◼
►
reason I got this show is called last
[TS]
00:39:56
◼
►
bowl that was highest that was either
[TS]
00:39:58
◼
►
they could count so I guess again I
[TS]
00:40:00
◼
►
guess it would be pointless so they
[TS]
00:40:01
◼
►
could make it up I just I I wonder where
[TS]
00:40:03
◼
►
they're going with it because they do
[TS]
00:40:04
◼
►
seem to be like the are they like what
[TS]
00:40:06
◼
►
they see the poor lighting vs or
[TS]
00:40:07
◼
►
something
[TS]
00:40:08
◼
►
yeah well I mean they had something like
[TS]
00:40:10
◼
►
maintaining the timeline right like they
[TS]
00:40:12
◼
►
seem to have a problem is that episode
[TS]
00:40:14
◼
►
where she'll save the girl right the one
[TS]
00:40:16
◼
►
of the guys save the girl who was before
[TS]
00:40:17
◼
►
trying to save the girl was supposed to
[TS]
00:40:18
◼
►
be on the plane or whatever right i mean
[TS]
00:40:20
◼
►
that we keep getting these glimpses I
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
mean I still think back to that first
[TS]
00:40:23
◼
►
one of those first scenes where there's
[TS]
00:40:26
◼
►
a scene within their see more like Peter
[TS]
00:40:27
◼
►
like meets one in the woods and he
[TS]
00:40:29
◼
►
starts doing that you they do the the
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
rip-off from the doctor who episode
[TS]
00:40:32
◼
►
where he starts repeating him and then
[TS]
00:40:34
◼
►
he started saying I'm saying like what
[TS]
00:40:35
◼
►
he's saying before he says it so when I
[TS]
00:40:38
◼
►
never understood the point that what is
[TS]
00:40:40
◼
►
it then maybe the day showing that they
[TS]
00:40:42
◼
►
know they know the future and the past
[TS]
00:40:44
◼
►
and the present but there's obviously
[TS]
00:40:45
◼
►
squabble but you could've just said i
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
clearly can just have a normal
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
conversation we see that happen another
[TS]
00:40:50
◼
►
episode they have been traveling so
[TS]
00:40:52
◼
►
maybe by introducing the time travel
[TS]
00:40:53
◼
►
thing in this last episode that's what
[TS]
00:40:55
◼
►
that's where the observers come in is
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
that they're not as concerned about the
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
parallels as they are about that the
[TS]
00:41:00
◼
►
like messing up the timelines maybe to
[TS]
00:41:03
◼
►
observe have we ever seen an observer in
[TS]
00:41:06
◼
►
the alternate universe that I don't know
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
stomping well and they have here the
[TS]
00:41:13
◼
►
thing is you gotta keep you know that I
[TS]
00:41:14
◼
►
think there's probably a PDF page that
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
will answer this question there are but
[TS]
00:41:17
◼
►
they appear in a lot of different
[TS]
00:41:18
◼
►
episodes in the background
[TS]
00:41:20
◼
►
yeah i think it's french television com
[TS]
00:41:23
◼
►
has a whole page that is the observer
[TS]
00:41:26
◼
►
sightings to yeah but wouldn't it be
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
interesting if they never were in the
[TS]
00:41:29
◼
►
alternate universe
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►
what would that say I don't know you
[TS]
00:41:32
◼
►
want the writing staff of fringe dan
[TS]
00:41:33
◼
►
you're confusing me we're here I'm
[TS]
00:41:35
◼
►
looking for I'm looking for suggestions
[TS]
00:41:37
◼
►
that's a maybe there's a whiz
[TS]
00:41:41
◼
►
word for anyone actually who has never
[TS]
00:41:44
◼
►
seen the absolutely brilliant
[TS]
00:41:46
◼
►
there's a youtube video about the
[TS]
00:41:47
◼
►
writers room of lost which just starts
[TS]
00:41:50
◼
►
with them say we are so screwed me up
[TS]
00:41:53
◼
►
trying to come up with all these
[TS]
00:41:54
◼
►
different answers for things
[TS]
00:41:55
◼
►
what if there's a wizard I don't like
[TS]
00:41:57
◼
►
wizard what if there's a witch
[TS]
00:41:59
◼
►
it's pretty the observer i think is in
[TS]
00:42:06
◼
►
the parallel universe to are you
[TS]
00:42:10
◼
►
checking this i am looking checking i'm
[TS]
00:42:12
◼
►
looking right now I don't know I mean
[TS]
00:42:15
◼
►
that would seem to me to be a deliberate
[TS]
00:42:16
◼
►
choice at that point right if the
[TS]
00:42:17
◼
►
observers never never appeared there and
[TS]
00:42:19
◼
►
then that seems like there would be a
[TS]
00:42:20
◼
►

00:44:24
◼

they can go with this with this series
[TS]
00:44:26
◼
►
in terms of like as the show goes on
[TS]
00:44:28
◼
►
like at least lost their on an island
[TS]
00:44:31
◼
►
presumably the the resolution will be
[TS]
00:44:33
◼
►
having something to do with them getting
[TS]
00:44:34
◼
►
off the island everybody got a bit
[TS]
00:44:36
◼
►
better like season for the central
[TS]
00:44:38
◼
►
conflict in the direction you can go and
[TS]
00:44:40
◼
►
but this show this you know if you say
[TS]
00:44:44
◼
►
well with the direction is one universe
[TS]
00:44:45
◼
►
has to win like there's no there's no
[TS]
00:44:47
◼
►
natural ending to the story even the
[TS]
00:44:49
◼
►
x-files had a more natural ending
[TS]
00:44:51
◼
►
because it was like what happened to his
[TS]
00:44:52
◼
►
sister and other aliens yes or no like
[TS]
00:44:54
◼
►
there was some sort of its central
[TS]
00:44:55
◼
►
question but the show is more about we
[TS]
00:44:57
◼
►
set up some characters and situations
[TS]
00:44:59
◼
►
but there's no overall goal
[TS]
00:45:02
◼
►
no I think every season they give it
[TS]
00:45:03
◼
►
like a mini goal but there's no like big
[TS]
00:45:05
◼
►
big our goal right it seems like the big
[TS]
00:45:07
◼
►
our goal is that that but at least now
[TS]
00:45:10
◼
►
is both universes survive instead of one
[TS]
00:45:13
◼
►
universe fights for survival
[TS]
00:45:14
◼
►
it's both universes survive and I could
[TS]
00:45:17
◼
►
see the end of the show playing out as
[TS]
00:45:20
◼
►
being essentially you know they split
[TS]
00:45:22
◼
►
the universe's apart and solve whatever
[TS]
00:45:25
◼
►
everything's all patched up yeah either
[TS]
00:45:27
◼
►
that or there's a sort of a terrible
[TS]
00:45:29
◼
►
price to pay where they do end up
[TS]
00:45:30
◼
►
merging them together in order to save
[TS]
00:45:32
◼
►
them and half of the people have to die
[TS]
00:45:33
◼
►
in order to make that happen or
[TS]
00:45:36
◼
►
something which is very happy with
[TS]
00:45:37
◼
►
always living together
[TS]
00:45:38
◼
►
i I don't know but you know I i could
[TS]
00:45:40
◼
►
see that there are some directions there
[TS]
00:45:42
◼
►
I i wager I would major heavily on the
[TS]
00:45:45
◼
►
existence of of other parallel personals
[TS]
00:45:48
◼
►
before the end of the show I i was
[TS]
00:45:51
◼
►
saying if it goes on if it goes on
[TS]
00:45:53
◼
►
longer like if you're a writer on the
[TS]
00:45:54
◼
►
show like you don't know how many more
[TS]
00:45:55
◼
►
seasons you've got so you have but you
[TS]
00:45:57
◼
►
have to plan for something like you have
[TS]
00:45:59
◼
►
a plan to get the plan to work towards
[TS]
00:46:00
◼
►
something I lost for example was castle
[TS]
00:46:02
◼
►
after the second season like well we
[TS]
00:46:04
◼
►
were working towards getting off the
[TS]
00:46:05
◼
►
island but we did
[TS]
00:46:05
◼
►
not enough time so it's clear what
[TS]
00:46:07
◼
►
you're trying to do but you didn't make
[TS]
00:46:08
◼
►
it but this is like every season you
[TS]
00:46:11
◼
►
know if the if the goal really is this
[TS]
00:46:12
◼
►
kind of tepid you know universal screwed
[TS]
00:46:14
◼
►
up in episode one of fringe you know
[TS]
00:46:17
◼
►
it's already screwed up and the goal the
[TS]
00:46:18
◼
►
series is to put band-aids over all the
[TS]
00:46:20
◼
►
holes and make university without holes
[TS]
00:46:21
◼
►
in them so that it's like it's like
[TS]
00:46:22
◼
►
normal like that's the goal is to get
[TS]
00:46:24
◼
►
back to normalcy

[TS]
00:46:30
◼
►

[TS]
00:46:31
◼
►

the analysis here but something that was
[TS]
00:50:43
◼
►
brought up earlier as the idea that you
[TS]
00:50:45
◼
►
could view what happens in that parallel
[TS]
00:50:48
◼
►
universe as being you know entirely
[TS]
00:50:51
◼
►
about how we can given a different set
[TS]
00:50:54
◼
►
of circumstances we could go down on a
[TS]
00:50:56
◼
►
much darker path right and so the phone
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
olivia is she's different and she's
[TS]
00:51:02
◼
►
darker and she has no problem with
[TS]
00:51:04
◼
►
killing people in our universe when she
[TS]
00:51:06
◼
►
crosses over and we've got this
[TS]
00:51:07
◼
►
perfectly nice scientist guy who is like
[TS]
00:51:10
◼
►
a you know it like dr. Mengele and he
[TS]
00:51:13
◼
►
alternate universe we have alternate we
[TS]
00:51:15
◼
►
saw how he behaves and and there's a
[TS]
00:51:18
◼
►
police state and you know I is hard to
[TS]
00:51:20
◼
►
believe there's nothing commentary and I
[TS]
00:51:22
◼
►
guess I feel like in some of its it's
[TS]
00:51:24
◼
►
just that they the circumstances are so
[TS]
00:51:26
◼
►
much more height and they're like
[TS]
00:51:27
◼
►
they've been dealing with all these
[TS]
00:51:28
◼
►
holes in the universe like 20 years now
[TS]
00:51:30
◼
►
and there's just I think they're very
[TS]
00:51:32
◼
►
much more endeared to that maybe that's
[TS]
00:51:34
◼
►
just had a a you know rubbed off on
[TS]
00:51:37
◼
►
there right there what they're willing
[TS]
00:51:38
◼
►
to do especially because you consider we
[TS]
00:51:39
◼
►
are seeing these like this is very
[TS]
00:51:41
◼
►
extreme right this is the whole idea i
[TS]
00:51:44
◼
►
agree i thought you know you know
[TS]
00:51:45
◼
►
there's a terrorist bombing somewhere
[TS]
00:51:47
◼
►
and immediately everybody lines up to
[TS]
00:51:49
◼
►
get rid of their of their rights in
[TS]
00:51:53
◼
►
exchange for some security or a feeling
[TS]
00:51:55
◼
►
of security right i mean that we've seen
[TS]
00:51:57
◼
►
that ourselves in our in our own country
[TS]
00:52:00
◼
►
not to get too political about it but I
[TS]
00:52:02
◼
►
mean it's clear that that happens then
[TS]
00:52:03
◼
►
societies are placed under stress and
[TS]
00:52:06
◼
►
sometimes the way they react as may be
[TS]
00:52:09
◼
►
maybe based more out of fear than logic
[TS]
00:52:11
◼
►
and it's got to be part of what they're
[TS]
00:52:13
◼
►
saying about this alternate universe i
[TS]
00:52:16
◼
►
do enjoy that they they make you know
[TS]
00:52:19
◼
►
despite the fact that was John says they
[TS]
00:52:20
◼
►
like to misdirect and then we've seen a
[TS]
00:52:21
◼
►
lot of stuff changed i do enjoy wasn't a
[TS]
00:52:23
◼
►
recent episode where they referenced
[TS]
00:52:25
◼
►
like the second or third episode of the
[TS]
00:52:28
◼
►
oh yeah they talked about the bus we
[TS]
00:52:30
◼
►
have with the with the amber how they
[TS]
00:52:32
◼
►
get their own pattern
[TS]
00:52:33
◼
►
yeah well i mean i think that was that
[TS]
00:52:35
◼
►
was kind of interesting call back to
[TS]
00:52:37
◼
►
something like hey you thought we forgot
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
about this
[TS]
00:52:39
◼
►
nope totally got it covered well isn't
[TS]
00:52:40
◼
►
it i think the family itself isn't my
[TS]
00:52:44
◼
►
favorite silly
[TS]
00:52:45
◼
►
elements and on the show because like if
[TS]
00:52:47
◼
►
you're gonna if you get a repair like
[TS]
00:52:49
◼
►
holes in space time they decided to go
[TS]
00:52:52
◼
►
with the is like it's practically a
[TS]
00:52:54
◼
►
culinary solution that's that's like
[TS]
00:52:57
◼
►
like an insect product or some sort of
[TS]
00:52:59
◼
►
google instead of doing like the
[TS]
00:53:01
◼
►
scientific superwomen the University
[TS]
00:53:04
◼
►
thank you for being around group right
[TS]
00:53:07
◼
►
we have brown goop really is what we use
[TS]
00:53:08
◼
►
the best thing for really it's caulk it
[TS]
00:53:11
◼
►
it's temporary but it'll you know it'll
[TS]
00:53:13
◼
►
keep out the ants snake
[TS]
00:53:15
◼
►
yeah yeah I know that and I guess the
[TS]
00:53:18
◼
►
pattern if we're talking talking about
[TS]
00:53:20
◼
►
the season one of the pattern i guess
[TS]
00:53:22
◼
►
the pattern ended up being a pattern of
[TS]
00:53:24
◼
►
of things from the people in the
[TS]
00:53:28
◼
►
parallel universe who were sent over his
[TS]
00:53:30
◼
►
agents or something like that
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
yeah it was a little holes in the
[TS]
00:53:34
◼
►
universe and weird things happening
[TS]
00:53:35
◼
►
because of them either intentionally
[TS]
00:53:36
◼
►
because of other agents or
[TS]
00:53:38
◼
►
unintentionally because of like soft
[TS]
00:53:39
◼
►
spots it all connected it is you know it
[TS]
00:53:42
◼
►
was again it was a thing like this with
[TS]
00:53:44
◼
►
the whole show is going to be about this
[TS]
00:53:45
◼
►
pattern no that's leading you to the
[TS]
00:53:47
◼
►
next season which you ever seen this
[TS]
00:53:48
◼
►
show is very good about building on you
[TS]
00:53:51
◼
►
know doing something and not getting
[TS]
00:53:53
◼
►
stuck in a rut not getting stuck in a
[TS]
00:53:54
◼
►
you know because even some of the
[TS]
00:53:56
◼
►
x-files which shows clearly based on got
[TS]
00:53:58
◼
►
stuck on the right of a
[TS]
00:54:00
◼
►
monster-of-the-week are there aliens yes
[TS]
00:54:02
◼
►
or no and they did that for so many
[TS]
00:54:03
◼
►
seasons that pretty successfully but
[TS]
00:54:05
◼
►
still this show has like the pattern and
[TS]
00:54:07
◼
►
they say no season two we're gonna
[TS]
00:54:08
◼
►
explain to you what is this pattern what
[TS]
00:54:10
◼
►
are you seeing your all the pattern is
[TS]
00:54:11
◼
►
because Walter did this thing and broke
[TS]
00:54:14
◼
►
these universes you know and then after
[TS]
00:54:15
◼
►
that the characters don't spend all this
[TS]
00:54:17
◼
►
time going what's going on with this
[TS]
00:54:19
◼
►
pattern they know what's going on now
[TS]
00:54:20
◼
►
they're on to the next thing that
[TS]
00:54:21
◼
►
pattern is because of the universe
[TS]
00:54:23
◼
►
now let's fight with of the universe or
[TS]
00:54:25
◼
►
deal with the issues there you know
[TS]
00:54:26
◼
►
that's that's something I like about the
[TS]
00:54:28
◼
►
show is that it you know it moves on
[TS]
00:54:30
◼
►
I agree with that i think we've been is
[TS]
00:54:31
◼
►
done that better than the x-files the
[TS]
00:54:33
◼
►
one element infringed that I haven't
[TS]
00:54:35
◼
►
liked that reminds me of the x-files is
[TS]
00:54:37
◼
►
the the shape-shifting creatures well
[TS]
00:54:41
◼
►
with that you can kill in a certain way
[TS]
00:54:43
◼
►
and then they kill people and take their
[TS]
00:54:45
◼
►
identity and and they did in this in the
[TS]
00:54:48
◼
►
show they have like mercury for blood or
[TS]
00:54:50
◼
►
something like that and i just it that's
[TS]
00:54:52
◼
►
such an x-files concept with the
[TS]
00:54:54
◼
►
shape-shifting assassins and I just a it
[TS]
00:54:58
◼
►
seems like a wheelie
[TS]
00:54:59
◼
►
weird and bad fit there's like an
[TS]
00:55:01
◼
►
episode where there's a u.s. senator
[TS]
00:55:02
◼
►
who's been replaced by a shape-shifter
[TS]
00:55:04
◼
►
and I never liked the you know the
[TS]
00:55:07
◼
►
shape-shifting assassin thing in the
[TS]
00:55:10
◼
►
x-files and it didn't work here either
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
how do you have you judged us both of
[TS]
00:55:15
◼
►
how do you judge a show compared to the
[TS]
00:55:16
◼
►
x-files at this point I was not an
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
x-files help you guys climate i try to
[TS]
00:55:23
◼
►
disqualify tried to see the movie I i
[TS]
00:55:26
◼
►
tried to get Dan interested in the Derek
[TS]
00:55:28
◼
►
Morgan episodes which i really like
[TS]
00:55:29
◼
►
about i love the x-files although my my
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
feeling about it is really turning by
[TS]
00:55:33
◼
►
the fact that went on too long and it
[TS]
00:55:36
◼
►
fell into its own actually I i think
[TS]
00:55:39
◼
►
that's a show that was better when it
[TS]
00:55:41
◼
►
was monster-of-the-week and a lot worse
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
when it was about the mythology because
[TS]
00:55:44
◼
►
the mythology went on too long and
[TS]
00:55:46
◼
►
became nonsensical and I I just stopped
[TS]
00:55:49
◼
►
caring after a while and with fringe I
[TS]
00:55:52
◼
►
feel like the mythology the good the
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
mythology is right like of its kind of
[TS]
00:55:58
◼
►
sprinkled in that first season and
[TS]
00:56:00
◼
►
you're like oh yeah more that or that
[TS]
00:56:01
◼
►
and then the second and third season
[TS]
00:56:02
◼
►
like every season they increase
[TS]
00:56:04
◼
►
two-thirds I feel like this past season
[TS]
00:56:06
◼
►
almost entirely with all that was great
[TS]
00:56:08
◼
►
my problem my problem with the way
[TS]
00:56:09
◼
►
French handle that the season is that
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
they had some episodes that were meant
[TS]
00:56:13
◼
►
to look like monster-of-the-week and
[TS]
00:56:15
◼
►
they all turned out to be mythology
[TS]
00:56:17
◼
►
related and I think that makes sense
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
though because because
[TS]
00:56:20
◼
►
monster-of-the-week is like one of these
[TS]
00:56:22
◼
►
weird things that are happening
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
eventually if you make any progress you
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
figure out oh I cya later happened yeah
[TS]
00:56:28
◼
►
yeah yeah there is nothing nobody there
[TS]
00:56:30
◼
►
was no reason for any of these things
[TS]
00:56:32
◼
►
besides the universe's is what we're
[TS]
00:56:34
◼
►
learning so what what I'd say overall is
[TS]
00:56:35
◼
►
that I think that that overall I feel
[TS]
00:56:37
◼
►
better about the series in the series
[TS]
00:56:39
◼
►
arc then I did about the x-files but i
[TS]
00:56:41
◼
►
don't think that the series has hit the
[TS]
00:56:43
◼
►
highs of individual episodes of The X
[TS]
00:56:45
◼
►
Files that was that was my take on the
[TS]
00:56:47
◼
►
beginning of the series 2 and continues
[TS]
00:56:49
◼
►
to be the case for purpose of whatever
[TS]
00:56:50
◼
►
reason like I don't know this because
[TS]
00:56:52
◼
►
there are more characters and have less
[TS]
00:56:54
◼
►
time to spend on them but you know
[TS]
00:56:55
◼
►
exhales about those two characters
[TS]
00:56:56
◼
►
Mulder and Scully with a really simple
[TS]
00:56:58
◼
►
setup and just just executed so well
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
x-files had fewer moving parts seem like
[TS]
00:57:04
◼
►
which sounds ridiculous when you think
[TS]
00:57:06
◼
►
about the big arc of x files with all
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
these crazy care but really when i
[TS]
00:57:09
◼
►
discard that was like two main
[TS]
00:57:11
◼
►
characters you so much
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
with them and you know they really
[TS]
00:57:14
◼
►
develop them and you believed that it
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
was like it was more affecting you know
[TS]
00:57:19
◼
►
when those characters had problems
[TS]
00:57:21
◼
►
because you felt like you knew them and
[TS]
00:57:23
◼
►
I think for the like that the one-off
[TS]
00:57:25
◼
►
shows with a little silly shows x-files
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
just had real snap on those like you
[TS]
00:57:30
◼
►
know I can't think of games off and like
[TS]
00:57:32
◼
►
French has more of a like Louis
[TS]
00:57:34
◼
►
slow-burn type thing with occasional
[TS]
00:57:36
◼
►
like crappier episodes but it's like
[TS]
00:57:38
◼
►
roughly at a you know
[TS]
00:57:40
◼
►
yeah it's like a solid but not
[TS]
00:57:41
◼
►
outstanding yeah it's like mediocre like
[TS]
00:57:44
◼
►
that it's never friends never really
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
embarrassingly bad which ex was
[TS]
00:57:47
◼
►
occasionally was embarrassing but it's
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
never really embarrassingly bad but it
[TS]
00:57:50
◼
►
no it can't break through that like I
[TS]
00:57:52
◼
►
don't know what it is maybe ensemble
[TS]
00:57:54
◼
►
cast maybe it's because they keep moving
[TS]
00:57:55
◼
►
on four different plot points it never
[TS]
00:57:57
◼
►
really breaks through to either to like
[TS]
00:58:00
◼
►
the hilarious highs of like that the
[TS]
00:58:01
◼
►
x-files episodes with a long government
[TS]
00:58:03
◼
►
at the DMV convention or that one right
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
there in the forties on the boat like
[TS]
00:58:06
◼
►
there's so many memorable X file or even
[TS]
00:58:09
◼
►
like the there was that one with the guy
[TS]
00:58:11
◼
►
from Everybody Loves Raymond with the
[TS]
00:58:12
◼
►
apple pie
[TS]
00:58:13
◼
►
oh yeah thats cloud Brockman's final
[TS]
00:58:15
◼
►
repose that's one of the way I yeah
[TS]
00:58:16
◼
►
right it means to this so many just
[TS]
00:58:18
◼
►
amazing episodes no friend no single
[TS]
00:58:20
◼
►
fringe episode has gotten close to those
[TS]
00:58:23
◼
►
levels you just watching for anything as
[TS]
00:58:24
◼
►
mentioned the circus freaks episode and
[TS]
00:58:26
◼
►
you didn't mention the one with the
[TS]
00:58:28
◼
►
cockroaches from outer space which are
[TS]
00:58:29
◼
►
also among my favorite everybody has
[TS]
00:58:31
◼
►
everybody has their there no but i
[TS]
00:58:33
◼
►
thought i would argue that they're like
[TS]
00:58:35
◼
►
six or seven that are these just so
[TS]
00:58:36
◼
►
clearly kind of brilliant x-files
[TS]
00:58:39
◼
►
episodes that are 80 if you had
[TS]
00:58:41
◼
►
everybody make a list of 10 that there'd
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
be six or seven that would be on every
[TS]
00:58:44
◼
►
single one of them and infringed yeah i
[TS]
00:58:47
◼
►
think maybe it's because it is a little
[TS]
00:58:49
◼
►
more serialize dad and and even from the
[TS]
00:58:51
◼
►
start and as certainly after the first
[TS]
00:58:54
◼
►
season they've had very little
[TS]
00:58:55
◼
►
opportunity to do those kind of more
[TS]
00:58:56
◼
►
standalone episodes and you know maybe

00:59:34
◼

characters think that the stuff is

00:59:36
◼

ridiculous and not just like not just

like oh my god how is this possible but

systems name with the curly air Astra

Astra tested right so she with her
[TS]
01:00:03
◼

character is so unfailingly earnest but
[TS]
01:00:06
◼
►
we never learn anything about her
[TS]
01:00:08
◼
►
motivations of her life and she's just
[TS]
01:00:10
◼
►
kind of there in the background but
[TS]
01:00:12
◼
►
she's not wise cracking or star she's
[TS]
01:00:14
◼
►
just kind of like I can't but I don't
[TS]
01:00:16
◼
►
know if she's just like an automaton
[TS]
01:00:17
◼
►
even even the good version and thinking
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
of another show because Dan is speaking
[TS]
01:00:22
◼
►
and undermining of shows that you to
[TS]
01:00:23
◼
►
deter me onto Terriers which also had a
[TS]
01:00:27
◼
►
fairly big cast of characters but like
[TS]
01:00:30
◼
►
was just so much more fun
[TS]
01:00:32
◼
►
yeah with multiplication am in which
[TS]
01:00:33
◼
►
they didn't have a better job of drawing
[TS]
01:00:35
◼
►
that those two main characters right and
[TS]
01:00:37
◼
►
even the sub the you know the other part
[TS]
01:00:40
◼
►
everybody was fun everybody had some
[TS]
01:00:41
◼
►
sort of you know that the scenes they
[TS]
01:00:43
◼
►
were more interesting and fun they had
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
some sort of thing going for them and it
[TS]
01:00:46
◼
►
was you know but whereas the filler
[TS]
01:00:48
◼
►
characters and fringe or just kind of
[TS]
01:00:49
◼
►
like just just reading their line well
[TS]
01:00:53
◼
►
it filling their plot isn't telling the
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
Broyles and Astrid I mean asteroid is
[TS]
01:00:57
◼
►
amusing in her connection with with
[TS]
01:01:00
◼
►
Walter but little bit that was her only
[TS]
01:01:02
◼
►
definition of Broyles and astroturf kind
[TS]
01:01:05
◼
►
of blanks and it's telling I think that
[TS]
01:01:07
◼
►
somebody like Lincoln ends up becoming a
[TS]
01:01:10
◼
►
much more interesting character and that
[TS]
01:01:12
◼
►
they're adding a mr. regular where they
[TS]
01:01:14
◼
►
found this other character who actually
[TS]
01:01:16
◼
►
yeah he's he's a kind of more
[TS]
01:01:18
◼
►
interesting guy and and I I'd like to
[TS]
01:01:21
◼
►
see more of him we're in some of the
[TS]
01:01:23
◼
►
characters they got our kind of duds and
[TS]
01:01:25
◼
►
in Broyles is my Broyles well we know
[TS]
01:01:27
◼
►
Lance Reddick is a really good actor and
[TS]
01:01:29
◼
►
he's just you know he's boring i guess
[TS]
01:01:31
◼
►
you know Nina from from massive dynamic
[TS]
01:01:34
◼
►
is his girlfriend or something it's just
[TS]
01:01:36
◼
►
not a dish is nothing there it's just
[TS]
01:01:37
◼
►
not that interested to give alternate
[TS]
01:01:39
◼
►
Broyles a more story for the whole
[TS]
01:01:41
◼
►
episode really nice Tennessee's family
[TS]
01:01:44
◼
►
and like what is what his deal is in his
[TS]
01:01:46
◼
►
motivation it's like not sorry we're
[TS]
01:01:47
◼
►
killing them
[TS]
01:01:48
◼
►
we're going to get the the premise of
[TS]
01:01:50
◼
►
the show is killed interesting
[TS]
01:01:51
◼
►
characters right until a little boring
[TS]
01:01:53
◼
►
servants the show's don't have too many
[TS]
01:01:55
◼
►
characters that are two interesting
[TS]
01:01:57
◼
►
don't be too interesting or else you
[TS]
01:01:58
◼
►
might get that that's the things you can
[TS]
01:02:00
◼
►
select carriers that's the thing about
[TS]
01:02:01
◼
►
the parallel universe right is in many
[TS]
01:02:03
◼
►
ways that parallel universe team is much
[TS]
01:02:05
◼
►
more dynamic and more interesting cast
[TS]
01:02:07
◼
►
of characters and maybe we can argue
[TS]
01:02:09
◼
►
that you couldn't
[TS]
01:02:10
◼
►
you couldn't carry that for for every
[TS]
01:02:12
◼
►
episode but i don't know i think that
[TS]
01:02:15
◼
►
they in some ways the writers got a
[TS]
01:02:16
◼
►
little bit of a mulligan and they got to
[TS]
01:02:18
◼
►
sort of retail the the fringe cast you
[TS]
01:02:22
◼
►
know and retail the French story with
[TS]
01:02:23
◼
►
this different cast and it was more
[TS]
01:02:26
◼
►
interesting with a banter with Charlie
[TS]
01:02:28
◼
►
and lincoln and and you know the Olivia
[TS]
01:02:31
◼
►
over there the parallel olivia is is
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
more kind of spunky and and you know it
[TS]
01:02:36
◼
►
was it was kind of it on one level was a
[TS]
01:02:40
◼
►
lot of fun another level really kind of
[TS]
01:02:41
◼
►
put the serious you know great
[TS]
01:02:44
◼
►
characters on our side into relief they
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
have gathered writers on this on the
[TS]
01:02:50
◼
►
show or is it like well most shows i
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►

[TS]
01:02:55
◼
►
certain number of like writers in like
[TS]
01:02:57
◼
►
their room
[TS]
01:02:57
◼
►
they're basically I don't know if they
[TS]
01:02:59
◼
►
thinking like as compared to like Doctor

01:03:00
◼
►
Who where they'll bring in the other
[TS]
01:03:02
◼
►
game and or you know or they just have
[TS]
01:03:04
◼
►
to russell t davies do a lot like or
[TS]
01:03:05
◼
►
even an x-files a lot of x-files
[TS]
01:03:07
◼
►
episodes we like you know they would
[TS]
01:03:09
◼
►
bring in other people to have either the
[TS]
01:03:10
◼
►
the idea for it or different person to
[TS]
01:03:12
◼
►
direct or whatever where there was a
[TS]
01:03:14
◼
►
personal stamp on individual so there's
[TS]
01:03:16
◼
►
a lot of the writers room as yet
[TS]
01:03:17
◼
►
friendly largest yeah but you've got
[TS]
01:03:20
◼
►
you've got a decent number of people who
[TS]
01:03:22
◼
►
you know have you know Nate you'd like
[TS]
01:03:23
◼
►
the first season had two episodes by
[TS]
01:03:25
◼
►
zack whedon I think joss whedon's
[TS]
01:03:28
◼
►
program he was on he was on the staff of
[TS]
01:03:30
◼
►
Maj Abrams has contributed on chemo
[TS]
01:03:33
◼
►
Goldman Goldman was like an outside guy
[TS]
01:03:35
◼
►
who was a fan but he's now consulting
[TS]
01:03:38
◼
►
producer i think they formalize the
[TS]
01:03:40
◼
►
relationship with him too well so that
[TS]
01:03:42
◼
►
is mainly this to you know what's pink
[TS]
01:03:44
◼
►
near and women or there's your show
[TS]
01:03:45
◼
►
running the show runners who write you
[TS]
01:03:48
◼
►
know the vast majority of them
[TS]
01:03:50
◼
►
yeah I you usually end up that's how it
[TS]
01:03:54
◼
►
goes you know people go in and out too
[TS]
01:03:56
◼
►
well it's just it's much less of a and
[TS]
01:03:58
◼
►
an apology right i mean that doctor who
[TS]
01:04:00
◼
►
for all of its story arc that they're
[TS]
01:04:02
◼
►
trying to build into it is essentially
[TS]
01:04:04
◼
►
an anthology series with with recurring
[TS]
01:04:07
◼
►
characters which is a great thing about
[TS]
01:04:08
◼
►
it and the x-files was so stand alone
[TS]
01:04:11
◼
►
especially early on that it was almost
[TS]
01:04:13
◼
►
like that it was like the twilight zone
[TS]
01:04:15
◼
►
with a couple of recurring characters
[TS]
01:04:17
◼
►
who are the people who investigate the
[TS]
01:04:18
◼
►
twilight zone
[TS]
01:04:19
◼
►
the thing that happened right and and I
[TS]
01:04:22
◼
►
think it's much more conducive to having
[TS]
01:04:24
◼
►
that you know
[TS]
01:04:25
◼
►
director/writer parachute in and do an
[TS]
01:04:27
◼
►
episode and then take off than something
[TS]
01:04:28
◼
►
like fringe it's the downside of having
[TS]
01:04:31
◼
►
that kind of nice tights serialization
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
is that is how do you fit some you know
[TS]
01:04:36
◼
►
somebody script and even Neil game and
[TS]
01:04:38
◼
►
had to rewrite his script for Doctor Who
[TS]
01:04:40
◼
►
a bunch of times because they kept
[TS]
01:04:41
◼
►
moving it in different season to season
[TS]
01:04:43
◼
►
you keep having babies give you like
[TS]
01:04:45
◼
►
three points like here's the plot points
[TS]
01:04:47
◼
►
you have to do for the ark story and yet
[TS]
01:04:49
◼
►
within those bounds feel free to do
[TS]
01:04:50
◼
►
anything at some point someone has to
[TS]
01:04:52
◼
►
slide open a little thing you see a
[TS]
01:04:53
◼
►
woman with the eye patch but other than
[TS]
01:04:54
◼
►

01:04:56
◼
►

[TS]
01:04:58
◼
►
killer episode of fringe right very
[TS]
01:05:01
◼
►
strange for the eyepatch lady appeared
[TS]
01:05:02
◼
►
in the future for it but they should
[TS]
01:05:04
◼
►
have to have a cameo on fringe where
[TS]
01:05:06
◼
►
Rory comes in from the side and gets
[TS]
01:05:07
◼
►
killed off and also I just a blue box
[TS]
01:05:11
◼
►
appearing off to the side and one of his
[TS]
01:05:13
◼
►
I have a dream that uh that Arthur
[TS]
01:05:15
◼
►
Darvill in the future will appear in
[TS]
01:05:17
◼
►
various other shows and be killed
[TS]
01:05:19
◼
►
horribly just for yeah I for fun but
[TS]
01:05:23
◼
►
this is not even the right body can
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
totally not the right podcast so always
[TS]
01:05:26
◼
►
this so all these podcasts are happening
[TS]
01:05:28
◼
►
Simon all all in parallel universes so
[TS]
01:05:31
◼
►
all in all all in all despite the fact
[TS]
01:05:34
◼
►
that we kind of Baghdad's I still
[TS]
01:05:35
◼
►
enjoyed the show season this do you
[TS]
01:05:37
◼
►
think this was a successful Cincinnatus
[TS]
01:05:39
◼
►
i think i was i think i mean i would
[TS]
01:05:40
◼
►
argue the hands-down the best season of
[TS]
01:05:42
◼
►
the show so far
[TS]
01:05:43
◼
►
I mean I feel like it really it's one of
[TS]
01:05:46
◼
►
the few shows on television I feel like
[TS]
01:05:47
◼
►
a torch was another good one kind of a
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
similar show in some ways improved every
[TS]
01:05:52
◼
►
season like to the point where it's like
[TS]
01:05:55
◼
►
yeah okay you're actually getting to a
[TS]
01:05:58
◼
►
point or you're developing your
[TS]
01:05:59
◼
►
characters into something that's
[TS]
01:06:00
◼
►
interesting and I feel like hands down
[TS]
01:06:03
◼
►
the third season of fringe has been the
[TS]
01:06:05
◼
►
best so far and they keep doing
[TS]
01:06:06
◼
►
different things so if you keep doing
[TS]
01:06:08
◼
►
different things i'll keep watching this
[TS]
01:06:09
◼
►
is that I don't get you know that if I
[TS]
01:06:11
◼
►

◼
►
as well as X Files which is pretty much
[TS]
01:06:14

the latter half before they get up for
[TS]
01:07:05
◼
►
the finale a little bit but I loved also
