The episode was okay, my main problem with is is that the story September told us, he literally told us, completely shifts the focus and the core of the show and I'm not okay with that.
There were two big "no, no, no" in this episode: Peter is not the boy that was important and Walter in the tank. I can understand there were other reasons why Peter was important to the story, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who thought they were referring to Peter as the boy all this time. And the tank is Olivia's, not Walter's! There are some Fringe icons that shouldn't be messed with: Olivia-tank, Peter-machine. I really hope they will be able to give us a satisfying end, but all the possibilities I can think of are not what I would have expected. But I also have to confess that with this season I didn't know what to expect, so... Having the AU back next week is practically the only thing that made me excited this season. Even if it's only for a couple of minutes, it will be worth it. ETA: Why can't Michael talk? __________________

Right why can't he talk or why doesn't he want to? But what I found interesting was the end of the ep. Why did he step out of the train?? I mean I think he knows about the plan why did he do this ? I have no explanation for it. So without Michael we can't erase the time or it would be useless so... the question also could be will we get him back to fulfill the plan and if not how will it end ?

Julia, he stepped out of the train to save Walter, Olivia and Peter. Otherwise they would have been caught by the observers.
They need him for the plan to succeed, they will get him back. __________________

Sidenote: There are two Ls in the word "Live" in this title.
But yeah, the other universe is what got me really excited too. I know some people knew that we were getting the altverse back, put apart from episode titles I didn't read spoilers, though I did get messaged from someone who said he heard the redverse was back but he didn't know if it was true, and since I knew the name of the next episode I got kinda excited and was hoping it wasn't just a rumor...so I had my eyes glued to the TV for the promo and when I saw them I seriously screamed.   Even if, like you said, it's only for a few minutes, I WANT.__________________

right @ Sofia but I thought ( yeah maybe I was thinking to "normal"
 ) that they could have changed the wagon and stepped out the next station  but you are right he wanted to save them  __________________

This helped me to think that maybe September is still hiding something. I mean...Why whould september say walter "my son is important, he has to live" right after he saved him and Peter in the lake? It's totally out of context! And until now the other observers (december, august and the others) have ALWAYS talked about Peter everytime they mentioned "the boy"! A possible explanation would be that Peter and Michael are somehow genetically connected and that would be really cool! I also noticed that in this episode Peter is still unable to sleep, he wears a hood like Michael (why would he do that if the loyalists didn't notice olivia and walter?) and in one of those scenes Peter's head suddently lolled and then he massaged the forehead. Headaches are back! I suggest you to pay attention again to those scenes because they might be important for the last two episodes! Oh and....what about that intense white light that hitted Peter at the beginning of the episode and then vanished as nothing? That reminded me the scene from 5x07 with the same white light on Peter when he was an observer! Last edited by jade86; 01-15-2013 at 05:52 AM |

Walter is seeing the apartment and September with hair. Thank goodness Walter has clothes on in his dream.

Opening credits just finished and hubby is sitting here with me and he yelled out JOSHUA JACKSON HONEY when he saw his name. Of course it was him being sarcastic and funny.
