An incredibly well-written, produced, & acted show. The best of it's genre. And way ahead of the curve in it's revelation of a multiverse. I still miss it.
i mean, Star Trek TNG played with multiverses in the 90's, and American superhero comics had to use multiverses as a plot device as early as the 80's. so maybe in the big, grander view of tv and film, it was ahead of the curve for multiverse use, but definitely wasn't the earliest in pop-culture.
^ Final Season of this was great. It would've ended at Season 4 but fans (and an exec who liked the show) got us that extended ending which explained who/what the Observers are. The writers set up a lot of mysteries, some of which went nowhere, but the Observers by the end of Season 4 were the only big mystery left. So I'm thankful we got Season 5 to finish the story.
***** Mine too! It's so cool...and the fact that it mentions the "fringe" stuffs from that era that are something normal for today is just plain awesome, and the bones-hand thing is the special touch!
The one thing I didn't like about it was how éclaté it was; however, i do agree that this show was awesome for years it's been my favourite sci-fi show!
@@machoromantic hi. I speak French. What was bursting about it? But I do agree with the Jenn Gil. The show was incredible. My partner and I watched all the shows we never did during lockdown. We’re getting towards the end now of everything good. I think Evil and the Good Fight are the only ones still making new episodes from our watchings, currently on The American Office. Not as good as the original but enjoyable all the same.
@@Bardim18 lol have you even watched the show for you to say it is a rip-off of the X-Files? X-Files wishes it can go as deep into sci-fi and all the subject matter that Fringe does.
@fawli86 Actually, I have seen it and I liked it. But the X-Files' influence in the show is undeniable, anyone who can't see that simply hasn't watched the show, or they lie.
They did a pretty good job of predicting "near future" technology. Considering time frame pre: smart phones / tablets / zoom /EVs etc... And yet the show nailed it 2010 predicting 2020, spot on 8 out of 10 times.
Actually its called predictive programming. It is on purpose nothing is random when entertainment predicts something especially with technology or freedom and free will etc. Some concepts are exaggerated for entertainment or to seem absurd, but a lot of hidden truths are in that show. The last opening which is s4e19 is chilling and very accurate to what is happening.
God, it's been 9 years? Man! Fantastic show. Loved it from the start, but the first time I saw that retro 1985 intro, I knew we were going places. I loved how they used the intros to show where you were and that things were changing. And the final theme of the enslaved world...individuality, free will...makes me think of the modern era in some ways. The story goes on.
Literally everything in this show was amazing. Including the intros . I mean the last one really shows what has been taken away from the people in season 5. And they have been hinting this invasion since season one itself.
I want to tell you something, i’m 20 years old and i watched this show at 14 and still didn’t watch twice because i’m waiting for my future children to watch again :)
ohh man.. wish I can wipe my memory clean and watch this great show again :) It's been 5? years since it's over and I can't find a decent sci-fi series which can be that much addictive like fringe was :( I remember I watched season 1 in like 3 or 4 days :D
+Trumpet Time maybe freedom is just an Illusion an Idea that we think we have but who could say. Left or right? llike walter said for every Decission there is a parralel universe so if this is right there is no freedom. I write this comment because I live in this special Universe
Trumpet Time I viewed it more as all of the inherent abilities and rights one should posses being stripped away by the observers in the future. I mean it gets to the point where you can’t even have your own “private thought” because of the observers ability to read and wipe people.
It's because future freaks known as Watchers occupy Earth and turned it into Nightmarish Police State and now Peter, Olivia, their daughter and Walter join forces with Resistance, trying to free Humanity.
i had to go to bed whenever this show came on but from what i was able to watch, it got me really fascinated in the idea of bending the laws of nature. currently rewatching it as an adult and having a blast.
So cool to see how the technologies considered “fringe” 10+ years ago are mainstream now… And then there are some that are still beyond our reach (for now…)
I always appreciated how the intro changed just enough every once in a while throughout the series so it could effectively set the tone for the episode(s) without giving away any kinda spoilers about the overall story.
I think it was the only reason I had any faith in Jar Jar Abrams for Star Wars. Unfortunately, that faith was extremely misplaced. JJ and Kurtzman have destroyed two massive franchises and split both fanbases. How they made Fringe, I'll never know.
I am like 5 episodes from ending the series for the first time! Really loved it, my sci-fi heart is so happy and sad at same time! And I got to say that my favorite intro is the Alternative Future, that black and white intro with the words “Hope” and “Water” written mindblowe my mind the first time I see it.
Finished my initial run around 5 years ago. Lockdown is a perfect time for the complete series bluray rerun with my mate - ive been telling him this show is superb for years
You watch all those possible future technologies imagining a brave new world for man kind and then you suddenly see water and hope among them. It hits hard.
The fact that I haven't thought about this show in ten years and that only watching the intros reminded me of every plot point speak to how amazone this intro is
0:00 - Standard opening 0:21 - Retro (The past) 0:43 - Parallel universe 1:05 - Standard and Parallel universe Could you say what were 1:26 and 1:48? It's been years I watched the series and can't exactly recall now.
1:26 is indeed the alternate future, 1:48, the goldish yellow one is the alternate timeline and many consider it amber. The last one is the Observer future.
This isn’t a groundbreaking commentary at all but I love how the theme songs’ concept of showing fringe scientific and societal concepts slowly devolves as core human concepts like Hope and Individuality and Free Thought are pushed to the fringes as the Observers take over. By the final season it’s obvious but they seed a couple of them in a few seasons earlier as a warning. Really neat.
Fun Fact: Seasons 1, 2, and 3 all have different words in the blue intro. 2 is my favorite, I remember starting off the season with "Parallel Universe" as a bold white word, and thinking "I'm pretty sure that wasn't there before, that's cool!" Also, the red Season 3 intro contains the same words as the Blue season 3 intro. (the Red Season 2 intro is the one shown here with "First People")
I loved the intro, how it told you which universe you were going to be viewing... The way I "labeled" them (...not really labeled, but what I found them to be) Original opening - Current universe 80's flashback opening s Alternate Universe opening Mixed original/alternate universe opening Future - No alternate universe Bridged universe opening Future - Observer controlled current universe
I got really attached to the show, when I got to the last 5 episodes, i quitted watching for 6 months. because i don't want it to end. i rewatched it like 8 weeks ago, it was good. :(
I never shed a tear over the end of a four-year relationship, but thinking back, knowing that of all the box sets we watched over the years, Fringe was one of the only ones we actually finished, and loved, such a good happy ending does make me feel... something anyway.
I see a lot of comments about how this is people's favorite TV show, and i don't blame them. It'd probably be mine too, if not for my actual favorite show (the one my profile picture is from, of course 😁), but Fringe is FOR SURE tied with Blake Holsey High, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and the first season of Good Omens as a solid second. Fringe is bloody awesome. I think it's even better than Doctor Who (back when DW wasn't a joke, I mean). I love these intros. I used to have at least two Fringe intros as ringtones for a while.
You know it’s all sci-fi stuff mentioned in the various seasons and you’re like chill about it. And then you see hope and water and it hits you that everything is gonna take a darker turn.
The show that needs to be picked up by another network, I don't care if that means just putting off the events of season 5, bring it back. if any show can resurrect dead characters its this show.
P-peter! Why do the intros keep changing color like that? It's almost like...a jawbreaker. Ooohhh Peter, I would so love a jawbreaker, do you have any??
They change according to the universes, if the episode is concentrated on the basic universe, the credits are blue, if it is the parallel universe, the credits are red, if both universes are present in the same episode, the credits are beautiful and red. And when the credits are retro, it’s in the past. This video brings together all the credits of the series. Nice day [:
Yeeessss! I've been dying to rewatch season 4! I saw it eight years ago and remember it being sooo goooodddd. Five was pretty good too, just shorter I think.
Amen, if it had not been moved over and over and over from Time Slots it would have faired better in the ratings. The first season episodes did really good, but Fox moved because of American Idol, and it's ratings went downhill from there. Shame because Fringe was consistently one of the best Scifi shows ever. I loved the cast, characters, it's creepiness, acting and overall storyline. I mean who didn't love Walter, Peter, Astrid, Olivia, Broyles. And the theme was one of the best themes ever. I still have it on my phone
![Fringe Theme [FULL]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zEBh1dsTkgY/mqdefault.jpg)
The fringe intro is really simple and short. But the fact that it changes slightly due to the universe or the time, makes it fucking epic.
videogiocatore3 I still remember the first time the "Observers" one came on in Season 4 (I think) - absolutely blew me away
Because X-Files did it first 😎 Fringe is just ripoff of X-Files.

Exactly. Private thought, joy, individuality are all 'Fringe events' in the Observer future.
Basically today’s real world
The 5th season intro is bone-chilling. Eerily prophetic.

lol, rewatch it. U'll find urself catching new things each time. Especially if you're looking for Observers, xD so creepy and paranoia inducing
It is on IMDb for free with Ads on Amazon
If you still want a show to watch I highly recommend 'The Expanse'

Watch Dark
I love the fact that they change the opening according to the episode
Genius how in the final version, though the time is vastly ahead the fringe elements are most basic such as freedom ect.

And then there are some that are still beyond our reach (for now…)
When this intro first turned red I knew the episode would be fire
Back in my college days, I binged the hell out of it. An Amazing show.

"Fringe Gold" is often referred to as "Alternate timeline" and the color is often considered to be amber.
Dear lord thank you for that
this brings back so many good times i love this show so goddamn much
The 7th intro gives me chills every time.
The way it ends at "FREEDOM" sends chills down my spine. Epic editing

Season 3 finale, the alternative future where Peter goes when he enters to the machine.

Best scifi show ever and unfirtunately not that famous but so so good that i have watched it about ten times entirely

One of the best TV series of all Times
I agree

Yes, having six fingers is known as polydactyly, it's extremely rare, it suits the theme well, the show being how strange and unique it is.
