Awww thanks for the new thread, hun!

I'm so excited that we're going to know more about Olivia's conversation with Bell!

I can't wait for the episode!

This episode is going to be so good, I think. It seems to be generating good buzz. Can't wait.

OMG WOW. Definitely, DEFINITELY the best Fringe episode this season. Wow. I have to say, I did not think this episode would be this good. I loved every minute of it. GAH.

So the big stuff first, we FINALLY get to see Olivia's meeting with William Bell! I have to say, we got more than I though. All the spoiler sources says Olivia's memory would be fragmented and we wouldn't get everything, but we got WAY more than I thought. William remembering Olivia called her Willum . And he kept calling her Livy. Very interesting. I wonder how long they were together for the drug trials? I never really though about ti before, I kind of just thought a few days or so, but nothing I'm thinking weeks. So the clues Bell gave: find HIM, their leader. There's a war coming (which we already knew). The storm. He said Olivia was always strongest. Then he mentioned the guardian of the door. I wonder who that is? I was thinking maybe Olivia? And then GAH when he told her the Greek phrase, and said your gonna need him by your side" EPIC. And I LOLed when Bell was talking about Walter saying "psychics is a bitch" I can't WAIT until Bell and Walter have a scene. That's gonna be EPIC.

Last in Henning Cryonics (did I spell that right? LOL) Is that a real name/phrase/word, or did the show make it up? I wonder what that is all about, I feel like we'll hear it brought up again this season. DUDE OLIVIA SHOT SHAPE!SHIFTER CHARLIE. When they went to commercial break when Liv got the message it was Charlie, I was like OMG. I guess you have to shoot them in the head to kill them? But dude, I can't believe she did that. I loved that scene with her and Bryoles after, about how she felt so bad, even though it wasn't Charlie. But THANK GOD. I'm gonna miss Kirk, but fake!Charlie needed to go.

GAHHH P/O scene in the beginning was so cute! I loved seeing them talk about just normal things, like movies. They are both sci-fi movie geeks I see.

"If you were scared you would tell me" AWWWW! I'm glad Peter knows that, that Olivia would tell him things <3

Rebecca/Walter - Aww! I really loved their scenes. They both seemed to care for one another. There had to be something from the past there. And when Rebecca shook Peter's hand, I got the feeling that she knew he didn't belong (since he's from the other reality and all).

I really liked the scenes between Nina and Olivia tonight. There's always that tension and mystery in their scenes. They both play off each other really well too. They both have one thing in common, William Bell. They know he has the answers, and Olivia now has them too. I hope we get more scenes with them in future episodes.

So some funny stuff from tonight: Charlie had a slusho! Oh J.J.

And when Astrid said "Dr. Bishops Deli" Hehe, so cute! And I loved when Olivia was talking to Broyles about the shapeshifter tool and how she thought Peter could fix it, and Bryoles was like "I suppose he knows a guy." LMFAO he prob does, but nah, Peter could do it himself too.

So yeah AMAZING episode. I think Broyles is right though, they will find that leader. If anyone can find him, it's the fringe team.

I'm so behind... · 10-08-2009, 07:49 PM

EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC!

Totally keep up the epic!

**'Tos** · 10-08-2009, 10:07 PM

Now THAT was an episode. My thoughts can be summed up by my yelling "

" a whole bunch of times in the ep. In the best of ways, hee.

Charlie!

Well, we all knew that was coming, and I'm very very pleased the the writers didn't stretch the reveal or his death out for the whole season or something. It's sad to see the actor go, but...well, it was a pretty darn good reveal and he at least left in a rockin' episode!

I agree with how epic this was, and I just hope, like last season when the plot really got going with The Pattern, that this episode really starts the show heating up for a long time. I know that there will be a filler episode or two between now and the finale, that's just a fact of television, but I hope that episodes like this, that really push the plot forward, are what we're going to see most of the time from now on! Because this? Was frickin' awesome!

csi_spy · 10-08-2009, 11:56 PM

Wow. Just wow. This episode is EPIC. I loved that they didn't have to stretch out the that-is-not-the-real-Charlie drama. I kinda got sad when he died. I love Charlie

This ep is super major plot development and I enjoyed it so much. HEEEE

I loved the way they "flashed back" to Olivia's meeting with Bell. And I loved how Bell was all, "Hi, hello! Have some tea!"

And I loved loved how they set up Rebecca's introduction from the start. It's just so cool to see that the writers/producers have a plan.

It makes me very giddy that I know I can trust the writers because they already have an inkling on what they want to do.

Rebecca knows Peter is not from this reality.

Bell telling Olivia that she needs Peter by her side. And Bell knowing what Peter's mother tells him when he went to sleep... interesting.

I think Nina's holding back information because I think she thinks that Olivia will have to learn for some things herself. And besides, Nina has to be a little bit mysterious, because if she isn't she'll just be another exposition fairy like Broyles.

I can't wait to see how this all plays out now that the other side has the guy who can open universes. I hope Omega dude's a "good" guy.

Yes, the episode was EPIC!!! And OMG, the very last scene, the created person on the lab table was Sebastian Roche from General Hospital! As you can see from my avitar, I'm also a GH fan, and this man's acting is simply remarkable. He will play the new bad guy.

alla05galitsyna · 10-09-2009, 06:03 AM

The episode was amazing. Very strong!! I went

yay! We got the flashback!

Loved their conversation. And the whole "adjusting to the new universe" too.
Looked very real with momentary blackouts during their talk.

Aw, Rebecca&Walter moments were so cute. Becca is a very nice person and i liked her

Not enough P/O moment for me though

Give at least another hug please

Olivia was very sad about Charlie gone.It was hard for her to shoot, even though she knew it wasn't him

I can't waaaait for next episode

***Mandy*** · 10-09-2009, 02:26 PM

Totally excellent episode. It allowed us to get a lot of information, answers to questions and yet, still gave us MORE QUESTIONS! I think we only have one more new episode until a brief hiatus. Bummer!

I was totally sucked in and I'm really anxious to see what else they'll do to get Peter exposed with being from the other world.

Bye, Charlie. It was good knowing you!

Shanna, I agree with all you had to say!

**Addison Montgomery** · 10-10-2009, 03:23 AM

This was the best episode of this season!! I enjoyed every single minute of this episode and we finally knew more about Olivia's conversation with Bell! So, Nina and Bell are connected in some way and i seriously want to know more about Rebecca; i don't think she's just an experiment, there must be more behind that facade.

Liliya · 10-10-2009, 07:24 AM

Amazing episode!

I'm so happy that we got to see the conversation between William Bell and Olivia. And as sad as it is, I'm glad that Charlie as shape shifter wasn't dragged out for long. I'm definitely going to miss him. I'm not going to go into every detail, but I'll just say that the episode was great.

Each episode just keeps getting better.

Can't wait for next week.

NOOOOO! Boo that stinks.

That's probably why there is no press release for 2.06 yet, LOL.
