@smoothbanana According to some articles I've read, they're extremely close to achieving it in the military using some kind of light technology. But the tech is super expensive.
J.J. Abrams and whoever designs the intro (same guy who did the title sequence for Star Trek) are so creative! I love all the original title sequences!
@adamcbourke no, this was a special one-off episode in series 2, you saw some interesting events which laid the ground for all of the crazy stuff happening in the fringe world, I won't give it away, but you should watch it if you're a fan of fringe, it's kind of a landmark epsiode!
This intro was one of the saliently fun moments of the show thus far. Season 3 has been really cool but Season 2 was the best synthesis of story, science and weirdness. This intro really exemplifies that. "Fringe" may be the most underrated show on television. It is hands down the best show on television (I would argue that is better than LOST b/c it knows how to do something LOST didn't: Have FUN and not take itself so damned seriously).
Love how technogy has come so far that science fiction is science fact. Yet we still live pretty similar to 50 years ago. Still living in house, driving cars, office job and school. I would dread a totaly unnatural digital enviroment.
Is it just me or does this seem eerily similar to Quantum Leap...during it's run DURING the 80s? I'd say pretty good job capturing the decade. If Fringe had been on the air then (probably too risque, but still), I could easily see this having been its intro.
@evotik I think that is good. The thing that meke we loves this episodes is that they are not many. If they made more 1885 episodes, that will be exeptionnal. Like if it was christmas everydays ! That make all the things we like (like 1885 FRINGE episodes) is that they are rare, we don't have them evrery time !
The coolest part is that they put just names of what people in the 80's thought were science fiction, like "personal computing", "cloning", "laser surgery" etc... :D
I love that they brought back this intro for the episode a week ago. I mean it makes sense, with it being one rooted in the past. Fringe definitely pays attention to detail.
@ TVperson1 - you said to ken1w that you were not sure they would have been capable of some of the things in this title sequence in 1985. Duh. That is the whole point. They specifically picked "things" that were at the fringe (i.e., just beyond what is currently possible). Look at the regular opening credits - do you think Pyrokinesis is possible in 2011? Today's "fringe" is tomorrow's reality. Get with the program.
i like how they use different intros. this one for 1985. the red one for the alternate. i bet if they did one based in the alt. universe in 1985, it'd be red and retro. whoever thought of using different intros is genius. no other show would do this
@evotik I think it has a better chance on Fridays than most shows do. The X-Files was on Friday Nights and it lasted 9 seasons. Fringe attracts a similar fanbase.
@L7MuSiC no. they redo the intro based on where we are in the series. when we are in the alternate universe its red because red is the color negative of blue. its retro because we are watching a walter flashback from the 80s.
this is the best intro and if u notice they use topics such as stealth technology and in vetro fertalization topics that might have been so called "fringe science" back in the 80's
I'm almost certain that the first successful in vitro fertilization took place in the '70s. So in 1985, it wouldn't really be considered "fringe" science.
@2010Zdawg Yes. in the retro opening, some of the words that fly through e.g in vitro fertilization, cloning, personal computing, laser surgery,etc are actually the technology that we have today. The retro opening is based on the year 1985, which does not have that type of technology.
You know it's very smart on how they adjust the opening depending on the episodes content. (See Opening modification from blue to red when the episode refers to the alternate universe and this retro opening when the episode refers to the past!)
@evotik i kno and it sucks because walternate exchanged olivia and the alternate olivia's memmories and now it sucks because she's goona b stuck in the alternate universe cuz she's the alternate olivia!!!!!!i'm so anoyed at walternate!!!!!!HE'S SUCH A FREAK Y DID U SEND THE ALTENATE OLIVIA TO THE REAL WORLD INSTEAD OF TORTURING THE REAL OLIVIA!!!!!!UUURRRRGGGGGRRHHH!!!HATE U!!!!
@marLena1595 Ich glaube, die Hand spielt hier auf die Entdeckung der Röntgenstrahlen im Jahr 1895 an. Und die Folge spielt im Jahr 1985. Fringe ist eben voll von solchen subtilen Dingen.
My favorite fringe intro, by far.
