Did anyone catch the part during Olivia's nightmare where somebody said "Where did they take all the children?" or somesuch... There's going to be more on Etta's childhood revealed IMO.

no way. That means Etta hasn't been born yet. It might end with Peter, Olivia and Etta at the park.

I've always thought the glyphs represented the overall theme of the episode.


They are, and they also represent the emotional state of particular members a lot of times. I think this season we are looking at the resistance as a whole.

The first episode the Resistance doubted everything Walter and crew could do.. and ultimately Walter doubted himself once his memory had been erased.

Continuing on from the last seconds of last weeks episode, Walter ha replaced that doubt with Hope, hope that a Dandelion WILL grow from the scorched earth, and the resistance has seen the power one group of people can hold, to building hope for everyone... including the Loyalist.

Best way to control the population when you invade? Steal all the children and have them grow up under your thumb.. your control, so they wont ever question your authority - and they do not even remember their own family, or anything worth "fighting" for.

I thought the same thing during that scene.

ETA:

...unless they have no idea who Bell is and just leave him there.

We have not seen Sam Weiss since season 3, he was the keeper of the First People's secrets.. In the season finale of season 3, we found out that the "First People" were actually our Fringe team.

Ever since Peter removed himself from the timeline.. we haven't seen him.

Kevin Corrigan is currently a guest star on the show "The Mob Doctor" on Fox.. so it's not unheard of that we might see him again, but who knows.

We don't know, that was smart walter.. just being.. creepy, I think.

For now, he's frozen in amber - why he joined up with the Fringe team at the end.. is still unknown.

I think Bell was that "guy" the Observers had 0 clue about, even after the invasion. I am absolutely looking forward to any answers they might reveal about Bell, and his knowledge of what was to come.

If Bell was able to create a whole new world... wipe the planet slick and start fresh - I bet he could do something to clean up the mess the Observers made in the future. Just sayin' it may be part of Walter's endgame.

Bell had tech he wasn't suppose to, he knew how to trap an Observer. He knows something.. and I wouldn't be surprised if Sam Weiss has some connection as well.

September would NOT want Bell's future for Humanity. September grew to care about Humanity, he wouldn't want to wipe them out like Bell was going to.

Yes... but that was Bell's vision without Walter to temper it. This is Walter's to create.

This is not, nor ever will be, a show about politics (except of the interpersonal kind)

Ok fringies, it's time we created our own production studio, who is with me!?!

We will be known for being the first American company to create 30 minute serialized television shows with timelines in place for X number of seasons from the very beginning!

basically, we will write 3 seasons, and we will advertise that it will BE ONLY 3 SEASONS!

(I'm pretty sure this is a horrible idea for American TV.. but I seriously wish someone would try it.. )

There was a high-dollar restaurant in Dallas that did this. It had 2 all-inclusive menus - The $50/person and the $85/person... dinner only. 20-22 tables and a small bar. Menu changed every day. Guest chefs out the wazoo. They said they would only be open for 2 years. Hardest seat to get in the city the last 13 or 14 months or so. Then - right on schedule - CLOSED. They made a fortune.

ETA:

It was called Enigma and it was off of Routh downtown... geniuses.

"How the West was Won"...by Kashonly (Posted on 8/4/10 at 11:55 a.m.)
an Idea for a pseudo-political Book/Movie(not sure which would be better)

Beginning:

opens with a montage of AM conservative talk radio style snips from people about Immigration and other ethnocentric-esque stereotypes along with situational scenes (rich lady berating maid, redneck insulting foreigner, Valley girl "let them eat cake" Social rhetoric, etc you get the picture)

part1: Unknown Terrorist Group(no affiliations) puts out a laughable threat, that the US has 30 days to pull its entire Military Influence out of every country allowing the Native populations of the World free self-determination w/o US Imperialistic influence. Not doing so will be seen as an act of War against World Freedom....Nothing is done.

Part 2: on the 31st day, hundreds of highly radioactive dirty bombs detonate across North America, precisely placed as to make the US/Canada uninhabitable due to radiation poisoning from prolonged exposure.(Scorch the Earth)(effects 25 years)

Part 3: mass hysteria, dollar plunges(almost valueless), Western(and those significantly tied to the Dollar) Markets Collapse. The World powers try to figure out who and how the attack happened.

Part 4:(bulk of story: ALL AMERICANS BECOME DIRT POOR IMMIGRANTS) mass migration needs but No major Countries stepping up to allow so many dirt poor into their borders(those countries hurt can't afford to help). Australia jumps and makes arrangement to take all Canadians, but says that other countries should do their part to take Americans. But Americans forced leave all assets(radiation)to go to under-populated Africa and South America, where make shift tents are step-up and effort made to deal with Hunger issues by making Americans work crops. Local governments (tax output) and promote African-Americans/Latin-Americans to be "Managers" of the indentured crop workers. (IE Slaves in Africa)....(examples of role reversal)Fake Tit Valley girls selling their bodies for a few pesos to short,ugly Mexicans, white collar workers deemed completely useless as they have no applicable skill set to offer, Rich white lady being beat by her one time Maid(owes her money), Redneck begging for pesos, etc,etc you get the picture. ALL Americans subject to random searches for Weapons as they once had the ability to bear arms.

Part 5: After very tense situations where US is accusing multiple "Axis' of Evil" for sponsoring attack, the World Powers fear US rash under-informed offensive strikes, and the US is forced to hand over its Military power in exchange for Aid for its People spread across the Globe.

Part 6: In a shocking revelation, the tests show that the Radioactive material used in the attacks were produced in the US 30-50 years ago. Also Satellite photos reveal that the radiation spread missed a few areas...IE:some bombs not made to be radioactive....these areas are determined to be those of larger Native American Indian reservations.

Reveal: Ends up that Indian Casino's funded the Inter-Tribal terrorist group who were able to excavate Nuclear material from old New Mexico Nuclear dump sites(on Native American Land), and the Casinos have been putting their Money in Gold since the 1st Casino in 1988, and where able to purchase Very large tracts of Land across the US for next to nothing after the severe spike in Gold prices when the Markets collapsed.

Indians win back their Native Land...."How the West was Won" role reversal.

the end

Feel free to tweak(maybe working rice fields in Vietnam?)

I know the story sucks, but it's at least new, and has to be better than most of the crap out there today.

What do ya'll think? I appreciate the comments and criticism.


since I added this, I mixed in the Mexican Cartels being the muscle and distributor. That's how the bombs got spread and drugs funded the operations along with casinos

Gambling and drugs killed America...te-he

You should seriously try to spin that to somebody that does graphic novels (I still say "comics") - That has real potential. Do different volumes/chapters in the style of each involved country's propaganda posters from the past. Good stuff.

If I wrote 1/2 page per day..I would be done by now

I'm not a writer, I have no connections

But I do like the added reconquista and the drug cartels teaming with their Indian brothers here.

As a TV show it would be 24 meets Jehrico...even though I've never seen a ep of 24.

I just have no idea how to write characters...this is more a terrorist plot that I dreamed up....not really a "story"
