So I just finished watching the series, and I must say wow. I will ignore all of the completely obvious and terrible parts on a show by show basis(how the shape shifters managed to abduct people from the middle of a busy street without ANYONE knowing will always baffle me) and skip right to the point.
Series Finale:
S5E13
Walter says he has to be the one to take the boy forward else a paradox will occur
He takes the boy to the future and time resets to peter and olive playing with etta in the park or whatever
What fucking bullshit is that????
Peter was the paradox..not walter. Peter should have never existed in that time line.
How it should have ended(and btw this would have been a much more powerful ending, if not as happy of one)
Peter has to take boy back (which is what september talked to him about in private) walter cries olivia cries etc etc
Time resets to walter in lab finding cure for his boy(having never been interrupter by the observer) and saves his life --> scene with walter + wife looking at boy peter after given cure sleeping in his bed --> Roll credits OR --> Flash forward to kindergarten or something with young peter+ olivia and have peter give her a white tulip or something (mind blowing, I know)
Bam time line completely fixed, no paradox no space-time rip nothing.
Emotional finale(if not quite as happy) and overall better
I mean dont get me wrong, the show WAS entertaining and all that but the ending was just so bad and made absolutely no sense to me.
