Man, this remains so true:
I don’t know what it is! The show is so stupid and so ridiculous! And yet there I am, week after week! I WISH I COULD QUIT YOU OR AT THE VERY LEAST REMOVE YOU FROM MY DVR QUEUE. Don’t get me wrong, I love the multi-verse as much as the next guy who loves the multi-verse a surprising amount considering we are talking about a semi-obscure branch of string theory. But how come the multi-verse in Fringe is almost solely based around differences in telephone technology and/or coloring? Season 1: “In our universe, this telephone is black, but in the alternate universe, the telephone is red.” Season 2: “In our universe in 1985 we have normal phones but in the alternate universe in 1985 they have mobile phones.” What? Perfect. Anyway, last night’s episode (which I have admittedly not finished watching, I guess because it turns out I prefer to SAVOR this show?) was mostly a flashback to when Walter first traveled to the “other universe” (because, as we have learned from Lost, there are only two) to kidnap Bizarro Peter after Classic Peter died from “a disease.” Ugh.
But, I will give Fringe one point for their nostalgic throwback “1985″ opening credits:
Haha. In Vitro Fertilization! Virtual Reality! Impossible is/was nothing. The final points tally, please:
Fringe: 1
Fringe: -1,000,000

This has nothing to do with Fringe, and almost entirely to do with how much kids SUCK. You guys can think the Brokeback Mountain picture up there for this story. In 8th grade, there was a rumor going around that my best friend at the time and I were gay. Now, I am not gay AT ALL (but have no problem with those that are, just saying, I’m not) buuuuut a bigger rumor went around that we went to see Brokeback Mountain in theaters together, and the reason that we couldn’t really tell anyone about the plot or about what happened in the movie was because we were making out and giving each other blowjobs the WHOLE TIME. Like damn! Anyways, my friend thought the appropriate way to combat this rumor was to say that all gay people should be shipped to New Zealand, and upon arrival there, a giant penis bomb should be dropped, and then all the gay people would run towards the penis because duh, how could gay people avoid a giant penis. I mean they are GAY after all. So then the penis bomb blows up and the world is better because gay people are gone. So, post on Fringe opening credits, you just reminded me of why, in the adult world (and by that I mean young adult but not Twilight young adult), I am no longer friends with the people I used to be friends with. Thank you for your time.
“Giant penis bomb,” he typed.
Hahaha you said penis!!
You did too!!!!11!
THAT KITTY in the BACK IS fuckin not AMUSED.
Jermaine?
I bet they made so many jokes about your last name.
“May the Forss be with you.” -the bullies
That’s not exactly the first one that popped into mind.
and then you and your friend went out for ice cream, as long as there weren’t any gay people there
Were your friends Scientologists?
That is not your commentator meme gif. There is only one person here who can exploit that gif so stop it!
I saw the gif and was happy, then I saw the avatar and name, and was not so happy. I’m going to mark this up as honest mistake DharmaBum. Do Not Let It Happen Again.
No mistake, and no apologies. As far as I’m concerned that .gif now means “I question the relevance of this comment, in a non-serious, self-referential way!”
that is not your job to police other peoples gifs and or memes. that is steve winwoods job. stop it!
As much as I loved (was made sad by) that story, this is what many of you were thinking. Admit it.
Kind of sums up my feelings when I see that.
Way simpler solution:
Maybe this will work?
well, it’s in the right place…I mean, if I saw that when I was going in for the kill i’d be like, OOPS! SORRY!
my bad.
Oh man, being a teenager. Were those the best years of your life or what?
Nope!
I have lots of questions about this but one of them is: why New Zealand?
The lengths people will go to not to talk about Fringe…
MEANWHILE back on topic, I was really hoping Josh Jackson as Max Headroom would have floated across the screen.
These credits are good but if they were really from 1985 they would be four minutes long.
Fringe, whatever you do, DO NOT mix prescription medications!!!
I never watched ‘Fringe’ but I understand it to be ‘The X-Files’, but with Alvarez from ‘OZ’ and more Leonard Nimoy cameos. That opening credit sequence proved my insane oversimplifying correct.
I only watched the first episode of Fringe and agree with Gabe completely, it’s terrible. Not sure how he can stomach watching any more of it. I can’t even look at Pacey and not think of that opening bit on Dawson’s Creek where he throws the basketball at Dawson’s big potato head, that always made me laugh. But a rugged FBI agent hero? Give me a break
I was debating keeping this to myself to avoid embarrassment, but Dawson actually throws the basketball at Pacey and breaks Pacey’s nose (because Dawson was a douchehat).
[miss e blows her brains out because she's 26 and knows that]
Really? I used to watch buffy the vampire show back then and they would have that same stupid bit for dawson creek right before every episode and I used to laugh every time. Coulda swore it was Pacey throwing the ball in Dawson’s face, which is why the show should have been called Dawson’s Face
Yeah, I would remember Dawson getting hit because that would be rewarding television.
Here goes: Pacey tells Dawson that he sucks at basketball, so Dawson throws the ball at Pacey and breaks his nose (again, douchehat). Subsequently, the cheerleaders take care of Pacey and he, in turn, gets “excited” and jerks off in the bathroom, only to get caught by a teacher and then he is given detention. The end. For real.
Last year, I was all Team Fringe, but this season I don’t know which side to play anymore. It’s going faster down the JJ Abrams show canon of throwing around plot lines and then acting as if they never happened.
Is there an alternate/time travel universe theory where people can just forget that some shapeshifting guy stole a frozen head and has a plan to bend the time space continuum and destroy the world while we sit around drinking coffee in a town where deformed people use an electromagnetic pulse to alter your visual perception?
I didn’t even know we had a new episode last night, damn youse. Thanks.
I was half expecting to see the “Everything is Terrible” logo at the end.
The multi-verse interpretation came out of quantum theory, not string theory, amirite? Hi, this is the Popular Science forum, also too?
Actually, both string theory and the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics envision parallel universes, and different, non-mutually-exclusive kinds of parallel universes at that. The many-worlds interpretation is a way some scientists make sense of quantum physics, and says that whenever an apparently non-deterministic event occurs on the quantum level, the universe splits so that each possibility actually occurs. String theory is a theory of everything, that is, a theory that attempts to unite quantum theory with the theory of gravity, by positing 11-dimensional space, where parallel universes exist. Both are yet-unproven theories that attempt to elegantly reconcile some of the stranger and more counter-intuitive implications of modern physics.
Meanwhile, in Fringe, a supersized flu virus looks like a giant slug. “We are all Professors of Science over here!” -The writers of Fringe
Cogent and true, PoliticallyNeutralDog. Writing more clearly I would have said something like: the many-worlds interpretation originated in quantum theory, so, since it pre-dates string theory, QT gets dibs. Of course, science has yet to explain how there can be different colored phones.
Guys, you are being pretty harsh considering the show is based on an aborted A&E reality pilot about people who compulsively wear fringe jackets. I mean, considering the artistic liberties they took, it’s fairly impressive.

Ok. Apparently you can’t delete comments even if they are incredibly embarrassing. Duly noted.
if it makes you feel any better, i will do my best to pretend that your comment doesn’t exist.
Don’t worry, in another (the only other) universe, the comment was never even posted.
I’ve never watched Fringe because everytime I see on my TV guide, I think its some british hair makeover show.
I watched three episodes of Fringe before I realized that there just wasn’t anything in it for me.
Like a Flying V.
