She has soft facial features and exudes a sincere tenderness :) I enjoyed the episode and will miss the gang, esp Anna Torv.

Remember to put Spoiler tags whenever possible so you don't spoil it for those (such as myself :p) who haven't seen the last 2 episodes yet. Thanks! :flower:

Yeah, I think Anna has really proved her worth as an actress over the last couple of years or so. I seem to remember her initial performances being labelled as rigid and awkward by many, which I never understood. Olivia was purposely written as an emotionally distant character in the early days.

Not sure if anything I've posted could be considered spoileriffic, but I edited a couple of my previous posts and went crazy with the tags, just in case. :)

Astro has always been pretty

Delve into the mysteries of Fringe: September’s Notebook, the official TV tie-in book that is truly unlike any book of its kind. This unique tome that charts all five seasons of the WB series is an essential, and fully sanctioned, part of Fringe‘s mythology. Written from the perspective of the Observer known as September, Fringe: September’s Notebook features lush in-world storytelling and thousands of never-before-seen images that provide new insight into the series.

The extraordinary tale of how Walter Bishop, Peter Bishop, Olivia Dunham, their close colleagues, families, friends, and alternate universes doppelgangers affected September, has been captured here in immense detail, with complete support, input, and guidance from the show’s producers. Over a year in the making, Fringe: September’s Notebook is a 192-page hardback notebook overflowing with September’s handwritten observations, covert photographs, personal sketches and musings, as well as extensive FBI case files and hyper-detailed Massive Dynamic intel. Fans will even be able to interact with September’s movable notes, salvaged elements, and highly classified tangible elements.

Secrets that September kept to himself will be revealed here for the first time, and so much more, in Fringe: September’s Notebook – The Bishop Paradox. The official tie-in book experience will never be the same again…

So that's a wrap... :cry2:

....even if knowing the importance of the white tulip pushed my failing memory to it's absolute limits...

... I wasn't overly fussed on the idea of the whole thing taking place in the bleak Observer-run future, but after a while the setting really grew on me...

Themes of hope, redemption and forgiveness has been central throughout the whole series. The white tulip not only signifies hope and God's forgiveness but also Peter's forgiveness of Walter for all the chaos and fiascos he has caused. Through most of the series, Walter has been seeking redemption and a sign of forgiveness from Peter (references: Pilot episode, White Tulip (season 2), and scene when Peter views the tape w/ Walter (finale)). In the end, Peter did forgive Walter and he got the redemption he seeked.

Now why did Walter send Peter a letter w/ a drawing of a white tulip? This is what Walter said in the video to Peter:

"Peter, I sent you a letter. It contains something of mine. I imagined you called to ask why did you send such a strange letter? And when you tried to call I didn't answer so you came to find me at the lab. But I was not to be found. I was here one moment then vanished from the face of the earth the next. I want you to know I'm fine. And living many many years from now. You will never see me again. You will never see me again because it had to be this way to ensure the future of our humanity. Your future. The future of Olivia. And the future of Etta..."

Walter sent the letter to Peter before the point of the Observer's invasion, and the fact Peter received it indicated The Plan worked. If you connect it to the video, Walter was also asking for "forgiveness" for his disappearance in order to save the world...and all the major shit he has caused.

I first though the whole Observer invasion plot was totally lame but like you I got used to it. It also provided a reason why the Observers were part of the plot which answers a lot of questions.

Some quick thoughts about the finale:

- It was nice to see some familiar "old" faces again

- Loved the major theme reiteration of "the sacrifices a man would take for the love of his son"-- the parallel between the love Walter has for Peter and the love Donald/September has for Michael.

- The symbolism of Walter taking Michael through the portal. He did the the same thing 50 years prior and ended up causing mad chaos. This time he did it to save the world and to "fix" his mistakes.

- It was very touching when Michael played Greensleeves/What Is This Child when Donald/September died. side note: His name and the song were both fitting and symbolic to the show

- Ending it w/ a white tulip was very appropriate for the ending

- Loved how the crew thanked the fans for their support
