Trivia
During the opening credits, there are always words that describe goals of fringe science, and what the season is going to cover. They might be far-fetched in our world and difficult to achieve. In seasons 1-4, these were words like quantum entanglement, philosopher's stone, time paradox, worm holes, teleportation, suspended animation, artificial intelligence, transcendence, cytogenetics, and hive mind. In series 5, the words represent the new improbable: Community, individuality, joy, education, imagination, private thought, due process, free will, ownership, and freedom. Words in the opening sequence that formerly represented dreams of a mad scientist or avid sci-fi fans now represent humanity's lost ideals.

Spectacle with unbelievably good cinematography

This episode is the first of the last season of Fringe, but it nails it unlike any episodes before it.

Although we got to see a sneak peek in S4 E19, I felt like it was out of place there. As an entirely new season however, this hits it right on the nail.

This episode is completely differently paced than all the others before, which is very welcome after already 4 long seasons.

What completely surprised me though was the last scene of this episode. It is probably one of the best ever scenes of my entire time watching TV fiction, as the cinematography, song choice and context puts in on an entirely new level. This was so well done that I rewatched in several times after finishing this episode, just to capture all the meaning, details and glory this represents. I created an account on here just for this one episode.

This goes into the books as one of the strongest showings this show could possibly deliver with the excellent John Noble. And for me this is by far one of the best scenes ever shown on TV, especially coming from an American production.
