An open letter to the creators of fringe

Dear creators of fringe

Its a good thing your show is freaking fantastic otherwise we would be having some very stern words now, Look I love fringe, I mean I LOVE it, but I have to say the 4th season is not a highlight for me. I see what you're doing, to get to the fringy stuff I love, involves working deeply threaded plotlines throughout many seasons, so to do that you have lay those threads, and because you thought you might be getting cancelled in the third season, you tied up a lot of the threads, and really used all the groundwork they had put in and got some fantastic storytelling, and so to get to that level of storytelling requires more groundwork

But I'm sorry, look I do trust you, because I know whats your capable, and even though season 4 isn't the best season its still absolulty amazing and better than almost everything else on TV, as much as it pains me to say this YOU MAY NOT GET MORE SEASONS, so please, please, do not waste the precious few episodes you may have left laying groundwork for stories that you will never get to tell

I know that this would hurt your artistic sole, but could you possibly take a few short cuts? seriously? because while I think its really interesting what your trying to do with this new timeline, did you have to suck all the things I love? Sam Wiess, Walternate, evil brendend, Peter and Oliva, just how hard it was to travel between universes, and how much the doplegangers hated each other, dude even Walter isn't as funny, and Damnit I want my inter-universe war and I want it now.

Also are you deliberly planning on making season 4 so season 1-like (don't answer that) because seriously, it feels like season 1, Jones, the cases feel familiar, and the style with the new characters, but while I do love season 1, thats because some of the great character growth and exploration of relationships, which isn't happening, because the characters are half old and half new, can't you choose? preferably old, because I know and love the old characters. Also in season 1 you were trying to grow an audience, so you weren't making fringe as serziled to attract new viewers, but lets be honest, your not getting any new viewers, the only ones you have left are the hard core fans who know the show inside out, so would it be too much to ask to cut back on the standalone episodes and go more for the mythogically awesome ones? 

So please, for all the fringe fans out there, pull whatever awesome plot twist you have coming up soon. I know you have something, and its going to be great, and make season 3 pale in comparison but it cannot come soon enough. Please, just get away from season 1 style and start knocking our socks off again.
