Here's what I picked up from the episode:

[spoiler]All memory of Peter existing has been removed from the minds of people. Nothing in the past has changed, but they don't remember his participation. This is how the worlds are still able to be connected. I would like to know what it means for Peter's kid. What it looks like from the conversations is that Walter did get Peter, but I think that Peter died in the water as far as they are concerned and this is why Walternate is mad at Walter now.

It looks like Peter is stuck outside of the timeline and the Observer did not use his device to seal the breach. It also looks like Fauxlivia didn't find love with Peter and thus didn't lose that hard edge that she had before.

All in all, it was a lot to digest, but a meal well worth it.

[/spoiler]

Pretty much just going to say "word" to what you said X. To me though, this episode just felt a different. The flow of the episode isn't like it used to be. It was very jarring, but I'm assuming that's what they meant to do.

Enjoyed the first episode immensely, and thanks Chris for the astute analysis, it was very helpful in putting together some of the pieces that left me a bit baffled. Even with the confusion I am still enjoying the ride.

I must say for a one off type story that was not tied to heavily into the Mythology of the series, I really liked this episode.
[spoiler]I found the preview at the start almost a bit misleading, as the clips gave me the impression it would be heavy on the over all arch of the show.
I really liked the idea of Olivia crossing over to help the Fringe team on the other side with a case, and the idea of using a person in one universe to help find their counterpart on the other. There was not a lot of Walter in this one, but that was fine, as I found this story to pretty compelling, as it was more of hunting someone down instead of the need for Walters expertise.

I really like the differences in the Olivia's, and seeing both on screen at the same time really shows through. So after going between them last season, cool to see them working together. Ana Torv did a great job playing both, I am sure that is not easy for an actor.

The more I think about it, maybe this does tie in a lot with the over all mythology of the show, since it showed how there is differences between the people on each side and how it affects others. The main guest of the week was interesting, in that a lot of their childhood was the same, but then the fellow on our side met a lady who cared for him after escaping his abusive father, and that changed his life and he was doing good things, whereas the red verse man, did not, which led him to search for the love and happiness he never got. So it was interesting that they delved into that, and how people on each side are the same to a certain point, but very different as well.

Sort of interesting to see as well how Peter not being around has affected things on both side. Colonel Broyles never died for helping our Olivia last season. Alternate Olivia never had the baby and still with her boyfriend Frank. Interested to see what else has changed and what has not.[/spoiler]

I'm one episode behind but loving it so far. I think it's really cool how the show uses the main titles to inform the viewer about what particular universe we are focused on this week...Blue for "our" original universe, red for the other side or bad guys, and now orange for the altered timeline with no Peter. This is one of the smartest shows on TV, and it doesn't hold the viewers hand but rather expects them to pay attention and catch all the little tidbits they throw at them on their own.

So on the last episode...

[spoiler]So Peter is back, but did anybody else feel like it was a bit too soon? Or maybe a little underdone compared to the usual Fringe? I was left wanting something a little more after the whole situation thing. They've been building all this Peter ghost things up and then just so easily get him back. Still, I love the show and I'm excited to see where it all goes from here with Peter back.[/spoiler]

I felt the opposite.

[spoiler]I thought it was getting to be too slow. We all know that he was coming back. Prolonging it would have quickly moved from annoying to insulting. For me, the mystery isn't where was Peter, but what happened to Peter and the world. You can't address those questions if you don't know that there is something wrong.[/spoiler]

I thought the "timing" of things this season feels just about perfect - for me at least.

ElfManDan · October 18, 2011, 04:28:24 PM

[spoiler]Well I don't mind it all so much. I'm glad to have him back and I'm sure it's gonna pick up from here with him back. I just thought his return was a little underplayed.[/spoiler]

Wow I am blown away right now. Had to take a break, half an hour into Fringe tonight just to say how good this episode has been so far. Every element, even the guest actors has been so effective. This is the best network show currently airing, certainly the best sci fi TV in years in my opinion.

Edit to add: all I'll say now is that if John Noble isn't at LEAST nominated for an Emmy award for his performance in this last Friday's episode of Fringe then the entire Emmy awards system will be forever considered a sham and a fraud. WOW what a great job he did.

I think he's been passed over for a bunch of awards now. The award system is a sham and fraud when it comes to anything Sci-Fi related =\

So reading Fringepedia, I learned that in every episode of Fringe there is an Observer hidden somewhere, well, Observing. Sometimes he's a reflection in a window, other times standing just on the edge of the frame in a random shot during the episode. I have never noticed this but find it kind of fascinating! Now I'm going to be looking for them every time I watch.

Or just listen to FringeCasting podcast and they'll tell you where to find him! :)
