Fringe Season 5

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

I probably wont say anything anyone else hasn’t, but here goes.
Fringe filled the gap left by X-files for a lot of people. I grew up in the nineties-early 2000’s and have always liked sci-fi. The random weirdness was great with both shows, but what made Fringe stand out was the re-writing of entire story arc from season to season.
Shows like Star Trek dabbled with time-travel, and the movies did well with the alternate storyline, but even so, the writers of Fringe were pretty daring for altering important characters.
Anyway, I didn’t watch much tv for years, but when I stumbled upon this gem, I basically binge watched all 5 seasons immediately. This one will be missed.
Kudos to the actors, too…couldn’t have been easy.

The majority of reviewers and fans who posted here are right, the first 3 seasons are simply great TV, while the 4th season begins to feel sorta disjointed and then we arrive at this final season. Where do I begin? It’s like the driving forces behind the show just gave up and so instead of an incredible, awe-inspiring and appropriate goodbye they said “Let’s just cobble together enough episodes in order to secure a syndication package deal.” Boo! These terrific characters deserved to go out with a much better send off than the convoluted mess that is Season Five. It had a few moments, but basically just felt rushed, like the producers & writers haphazardly tossed these 13 episodes together quickly and without any care or attention to detail because their focus was already on other projects. What should have been “WOW!!!” is, instead, just “meh…” A real bummer.

Not unlike “LOST,” producer J.J. Abrahms just can’t seem to stay focused on one thing long enough to do right by it. He launches out of the starting gate and takes a strong lead but then seems to get winded, stumbles a bit and then before you know it you are just going “WTF?” as something that started out great just kind of coasts to the finish line on fumes. I like Peter & Olivia. I also grew to care about Astrid and even Broyles and I simply ADORE Walter. He is such a fully-realized amazing character. I could watch a show where he just sits around and talks for an hour. He’s that interesting and funny. ALL of these wonderful, diverse and interestingly flawed characters deserved much, much better than what they got. But it is what it is. *SIGH* Farewell, Walter. You will be missed.
