I guess you are right on those points but I have to say I still loved every minute of it.

For all of it's goofyness I have to say I love Fringe and it's complex time line. I have to say I liked the alternate timeline because it gave Nina Sharp more of a direct connection to the characters and events happening onscreen. Before she was just the woman who worked for the guy who did a cameo now and again,she wasn't really directly connected to anything by her own actions,the alternate time line gave her that and I have to say her death was one of the saddest moments in the series for me.

I have to say I think the did a good job of giving the show closer in that the final feels like the natural end to the story and the final shot is the way I wanted it to end but at the same time I can't help thinking about what all the characters are going to be doing the next day. It's rather like Return of the Jedi or The Return of the King in that respect and that is a good thing.

Did everything make sense? I guess not.

Did I enjoy pretty much every episode to some degree? Oh yeah.

Did I love the characters? You bet!

So for me that is enough to give lapses in logic a pass. I know there are other people who don't feel this way and i can't say they are wrong for noticing and being bothered by the plot holes,it's just for me it's the characters and where the story took them that mattered most and that is where Fringe really delivered. That and some really cool sci-fi ideas. I really want one of those Observer Guns that throws people across the room. Oh and those potato guns that fire smoke that takes people's faces. Oh and a type writer that communicates with another universe,I love type writers and that is just too cool.

As i said I know it didn't work for everyone but Fringe worked for me. I enjoyed every episode to some extent now that I finally got to sit down and see them all and I am sure i will enjoy them again some time in the future.

I think Brown Betty may be my favorite episode,that was a real trip.
