It was spooky how much Walter's explanation sounds like my answer to scifi. MichaelEdenfield Check for you name in the credits. Not a single time where, for example, one of them would be showing a mild smile? That is hard to believe; it seems like "The observers still exist, but they are different from the ones we know" implies that the timelines would diverge as soon as on the observers' first arrival i. You guys are overthinking this. I believe the simple explanation is this: In a world where even the inexplicable is eventually unexplained by the Fringe team, in this case , there is one thing of great power that exists which cannot be fully understood: Love.

In other words, sometimes things are, because they are. Sometimes a tulip is a tulip. Gallant Gallant 51 1 1 silver badge 1 1 bronze badge.

The two met in a field filled with white tulips. It was never explained how Peter forgot both his true origins and his meeting with Olivia by It could simply be attributed to the fact that he was still very young. Throughout his childhood, a rift between him and his father developed.

After Walter was institutionalized, Peter moved to Allston with his mother because she could not afford the mortgage of their house in Cambridge. Peter dropped out of high school, jumping from job to job, never staying in one position for more than two months. His list of previous occupations includes being a fireman, a cargo pilot, and a college chemistry professor - a position he gained by falsifying a degree from MIT. Despite this, he managed to have papers published before he was exposed as a fraud.

Peter's life after this remains a mystery. At one point in time, Peter owed money to a man named Big Eddy. He fled to Iraq, where he worked prior to meeting Olivia Dunham. She met Peter at a hotel in Baghdad, where she explained that she needed access to his father, Walter Bishop.

Walter, locked in St. Claire's Mental Institution, could only be visited by immediate family. At first unwilling, Olivia was able to coax Peter into aiding her investigation by claiming that she would be more than happy to let certain individuals know his whereabouts, assuming that a man living in Baghdad had to be running from something. Her bluff proved to be effective and Peter returned with her to the United States.

While on the return flight, Olivia detailed some of the work Peter's "father" had been working on, to which a shocked Peter asked if his father was Dr Frankenstein. Through the work Pattern-related investigations, Peter learned too much to simply walk away. Not only that, but he acted as an interpreter for Walter's rantings and scientific ramblings. When seeing people from Over Here obliterated by a machine, but people from the Other Side survive, Peter realized he was not from this universe.

Devastated, he couldn't speak to Walter and left Boston. While on the road, he was confronted by his real father Walternate , who whisked him away to his real universe. This was all a part of Walternate's scheme to destroy this universe. He needed Peter to activate The Machine. Believing this machine to be a positive force- something that could repair both worlds- and not as a weapon of destruction, Peter used his technological skills to begin constructing the device based on blueprints provided by his father.

He learned the truth about the machine through Olivia, who crossed over to rescue him. Olivia professed her love for him, they kissed, and Peter returned to the Prime Universe. After returning to the prime universe, Peter is set on working on the machine and finding out what it is to be used for. He soon becomes romantically involved with Fauxlivia , posing as his Olivia, who had crossed over in the place of Olivia when they returned to the prime universe leaving his Olivia there.

She makes sure that he finds pieces on the Machine and becomes fully involved in it and investigating the First People.

After his Olivia finds a way to contact him, he realizes that the Olivia he is with is not the one from the prime universe. Olivia will not begin a relationship with him though, because she can't stand that Fauxlivia was living her life. Eventually, Peter and Olivia get together. This causes the prime universe to begin to fall apart so that Peter has no choice but to get inside the machine. He gets thrown out of it the first time, but after Olivia acts as a crowbar to override the machine on the other side, he can get in.

He then flashes forward into the year Following Peter's consciousness' return from the future, he creates a bridge between universes so that they can begin to work together to fix things.

She didn't need Peter, she just had to get this man because he knew so much," Noble says, noting that without Peter to ground him, Walter has become much more of a neurotic madman. Not unlike the concept in Back to the Future II — Noble actually used this awesome reference to describe it — the timeline of Fringe has changed in different ways because Peter wasn't there to affect it.

Adds executive producer Jeff Pinkner : "It is totally possible that some of the cases that we've seen will come back and sometimes with different guys and with a different set of circumstances. Still, that's not to say Peter's presence won't be felt. The question is exactly where is Peter? I mean what would that be like? Gallery: Which TV shows jumped the shark last season? The idea of being tied to the ones you love and transcending the constraints of space and time is one of the major themes of the season.

If you weren't there what would they be like? Moreau , who bred a new species of man or is that animal via genetic engineering. Also: Did you happen catch the final three words in the credit sequence? Conclusion: Anyone here know their comic books well enough to remember how Marvel brought Jean Grey back to life after killing her in X-Men ?

But which of his princesses will succeed in kissing him awake: Olivia, the woman he loves, or Bolivia, the mother of his child? Whatever happened to that kid, anyway? But enough of me.

What did the stars of Fringe think of the season finale? John Noble tells EW. There must be some way to put this right! They spilled some beans about the finale — too many for even our spoiler-friendly sensibilities. In retrospect, it feels necessary to get us together. The actors were clear, though: They are extremely proud of a season that has been almost universally praised by critics and fans and has generated Emmy buzz.

The currency of TV is that if you watch a show for long enough, you just become invested in their well being. That was incredibly ballsy I think. Noble recalls Torv calling him after getting the first script in this storyline and asking for advice on how to play Nimoy.

We had a lot of fun doing it. And they gave him some scenes — with his lover, with his wife — that showed his vulnerability. He became a very satisfying character to play. What will next season bring?
