I don\u2019t know whether the end will be satisfying, but I\u2019m just happy to enjoy the show while it lasts, and to explore what the religious themes tell us about religion and popular culture. And I think that any show that explores the possibility that what one person thinks is a sign from God could be due to another individual\u2019s time travel experiments is definitely cool\u00a0and thought provoking sci-fi. And in exploring ideas of calling and\/or destiny, Peter Bishop sounded a little bit like John Locke \u2013 and so one wonders whether Peter, like Locke, is being manipulated to think he is special by some person or force working towards an end of his or its own.<\/div>\n

<\/a>I\u2019ve said before that Fringe offers much that LOST did and at times does a better job of providing a coherent story with answers. Of course, there are lots of loose ends that might still be left open: Who build the machine? How could they have designed it with Peter in mind? Who are the observers? Who are the \u201cfirst people\u201d? And, as if we are still in the realm of LOST, \u201cWhat do the numbers mean?\u201d <\/div>\n
