In this episode of The Fringe Podcast, we are joined by Allan, Michelle, and Lou as we rewatch and discuss the Fringe season 4 episodes, “Making Angels,” “Welcome To Westfield,” “A Better Human Being,” “The End of All Things,” “A Short Story About Love,” and “Nothing As It Seems.” We dig in to many of the themes and character developments covered in this group of episodes. We talk about the journey that Olivia and Peter go through and whether or not the writers took too long to resolve it, we talk about the new revelations we received about the origins of the observers and how that information gives us insight into season 5, and we talk about the series of Fringe as a love story. Some of us like the idea of Fringe as a love story, and some of us hope that there is more to it than that.
We had a lot of great discussion in this episode and we’re very grateful for Michelle, Allan, and Lou for their participation. Send in your feedback and theories to 304-837-2278 or feedback@thefringepodcast.com.

In the episode of Making Angels, there was discussion around the Observer Rod that Neil was using.
It struck me after the podcast that the Rod could have been the sign from God that Neil was looking for. And it became the catalyst for him to solving his equation.
I also believe September purposely ditched the rod to prevent the other Observers from tracking him. The fact the other Observer’s tracked the rod to Neil’s safe bears out this conclusion.
All of this ties into September repeatedly aiding Peter throughout the series. Once he disobeyed the directive from December to fully erase Peter from the timeline he had gone into deep cover.
