This is so lame . This feels so half assed , there is like zero energy . The sound is shit as well . <| sep |> You ' ve missed a lot of salt . Mainly . <| sep |> Fringe . There are numerous intricate storylines which occur simultaneously , a large cast of complex characters and their dopplegangers from an alternate extremely fleshedout universe , alternate versions of all of these characters from a seperate timeline and still more characters who can time travel as well as freely traverse those universes and timelines . The series has dozens of moving pieces and interconnected mysteries , many of them spanning several seasons . However , it all makes perfect sense by the end , and everything fits together cleanly like one gigantic jigsaw puzzle . Every character arc , storyline and element of mythology is cleanly wrapped up . The story was clearly planned out from the beginning , and on a rewatch it ' s easy to appreciate the nearconstant stream of hints and foreshadowing .
