WATCH FRINGE

[Magus]

Any Fringe fans? Even lapsed fans? Even people maybe marginally interested in the show?

I command you all (and by "you all", I mean everyone on the internets) to watch Fringe in order to inflate its ratings so it might get renewed! It is, at the moment, on the knife's edge. According to the show creators, there are two alternate endings for this season finale, one that attempts to "wrap things up", and another that opens up the show for a fifth season.

And what a fifth season it would be. I don't want to spoil too much, so if you haven't been following the show this season, BE WARNED! The parallel worlds plot-line seems to be coming to a head through a final confrontation with the villain, David Robert Jones, in the next few episodes, but now they have really shook up the series starting with last night's episode:

So last night they introduced a new storyline where both parallel worlds are ruled by a dystopian government headed by Observers from the future. Etta, the daughter of Peter and Olivia, is a key member of the resistance, as are future Nina and possibly future Broyles, and busts Walter, Peter, and Astrid out of amber they have been kept in stasis in.
END SPOILERS

This would be an amazing fifth season if the show were renewed.

Thus, I command you all to watch the show! Taping it via your DVR might be enough, or perhaps even watching it on Hulu/Hulu Plus or the FOX website, as supposedly because the show is on Friday nights the people in charge of such things actually look at "secondary ratings", since the first run is always so abysmally low.

Anyway, general Fringe discussion for anyone who is interested in the show?
