Should the Fringe finale have answered all our questions?

Spoiler warning: for obvious reasons, dont read this until youve seen theFringefinale.

Fringes series finale and the episodes leading up to it answered a lot of our questions.

The Child Observer was Septembers son, Michael.

Walter never forgave William Bell for what he did to Olivia and left him in amber.

Fauxlivia and Clark Kent-Lincoln Lee were happily married and had a son.

Walter, as wed always suspected, really did know Astrids name.

But there were plenty of questions left unanswered as well.

The biggie: if the Observers have been wiped from existence, why is Peter still in our universe?

And other questions: does it ever bother Peter that his son winked out of existence when he did?

If so, why?

And what on earth was up with Nina and Broyles snogging way back in the season two premiere?

Some of these questions may yield reasonable answers with just a bit of fan-tweaking.

But some things will remain eternally a mystery theres just no explanation for Nina and Broyles.

Perhaps the real question is,shouldthe finale have answered all our questions?

Is it the job of a series finale to wrap everything up in a neat little bow?

Or, in one case, performing dangerous scientific experiments on their children).

So why might we expect more from the series finale?

InPeter, the logic of the science fiction and emotion come together to create an almost perfect arc-based episode.

So maybe thats why we might have expected more from theFringefinale.

will still bothersome viewers.

For others, that swell of emotion renders all logical inconsistencies null and void.
