    • Trivia
      This is Fringe's 100th episode.
    • Goofs
      In an earlier show, the Fringe team pursued a man who could make paraplegics float using an osmium solution that worked only due to the unraveling of the two universes. Walter then said in the next season that the universes had healed themselves, thereby the laws of physics were once again intact. Because of this, Walter's osmium-tipped bullets shouldn't have made the Observers float when they were shot.

    Disappointing series finale

    I was really looking forward to this. For a season finale, let alone a series finale, I found this episode extremely disappointing. It was very uneventful. Nothing actually happens for the first 30 minutes except characters talking, and every conversation had the same shot/reverse shot, which got tedious and bland. Everything you would have expected to happen, happens. The entire episode felt very by-the-numbers and didn't stand out to be special from any other episode of the season, which is something a finale should typically do. I appreciated the attempt at callback from earlier seasons, but it felt very underwhelming and brief.

    This should have been much more eventful.
