You're right - Holyoke is *not* near Worcester, and although the hills in the distance on that highway scene look like the Holyoke Range, that scene must have been shot somewhere in the praries. There's not a spot in Western MA that looks like that. Oh, and when Peter finds himself in Pittsfield ... that's not Pittsfield. Not even close to looking like it.Rosemary Wesselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027758048237757239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-83953174256053797512011-05-06T08:35:25.390-04:002011-05-06T08:35:25.390-04:00Never said he didn't love her, or that it coul...Never said he didn't love her, or that it couldn't be implied, I'd have no problem with that all. This was simply something that put in context with other things that seemed slightly out of character for Peter or the storyline, pointed to a possible direction for where things were going with the show. The question for me was from the series point of view, the whole "nothing is what it seems", not anything to do with a P/O or Peter fixation.FringeFrogeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-16574243429188110722011-05-06T00:31:34.478-04:002011-05-06T00:31:34.478-04:00loveycats- that's exactly what I was going to ...loveycats- that's exactly what I was going to write! it's Leia: "I love you." Han: "I know." the guy is being too macho to say it. yes of course he loves her or he wouldn't be risking his life to save her. he feels like if he throws that out there that it will hurt her worse if he is killed, as if it would be easier for her to move on. <br />However, I am worried that the series is getting too complicated for its own good. Like Lost (even though I loved that show), it is starting to add too many stray directions to travel. If they keep bringing together and separating P/O every couple of episodes, we will tire of this formula and if they separate them too long, they will lose our interest due to lack of chemistry. the best part of the show is how the characters interact and if you separate one from the others (I'm thinking Peter is going solo next season or at least will be our lone connection to the reality we've known), well, we'll see how well Joshua Jackson can hold our interest on his own. I have my doubts, unless the writers finally get to the core of his character, what Peter is thinking and get brutally honest this time. I'm tired of not knowing about Peter.Amyhttp://www.flickr.com/amyemitchellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-46627535568724569252011-05-05T16:08:13.524-04:002011-05-05T16:08:13.524-04:00Are people really worried about this "I love ...Are people really worried about this "I love you" thing?

If Sam had never said that, I would be thinking more like Elliot that maybe he already told her that before now, or like Anon that "I love yous" imply good-bye in this type of situation, and he knew it wasn't a good-bye.

I'm glad you picked up on the I love you, most reviews didn't seem worried about it or notice. <br /><br />And no Anonymous, my concern is not for Olivia's feelings, although I got the feeling she was putting herself out of her comfort zone again and normally you would hope to get a positive response from that. My concern is he didn't say it for a reason, such as he really isn't fully himself. I felt his mannerisms and reactions are off, he is definitely not back to his normal self, and as Fringeobssessed has pointed out there was inconsistency in his flashbacks that seem to indicate his feelings about the two universes aren't what we'd expect. Making that lack of I love you a warning of things to come, and a lot more important than just Olivia's feelings.FringeFrogeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-55420824459028433142011-05-04T13:41:26.245-04:002011-05-04T13:41:26.245-04:00i like those writers! and it's riders on the s...i like those writers! and it's riders on the storm...<br /><br />breen wrote one of my fav lost episodes "the cost of living" and some great fringe episodesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-32006121291093377752011-05-04T13:08:48.508-04:002011-05-04T13:08:48.508-04:00Maybe he's already told her he loves her, they...Maybe he's <i>already</i> told her he loves her, they've had months now of being a couple and waking up together. <br /><br />And the rest of the verse from 'Riders On the Storm" is "the world on you depends our life will never end." <br /><br />But I agree, that pair of writers is usually pain-plus, I was worried what they would do to P/O as well, but something melted their hearts and I am glad.Elliiotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-80314537470071615522011-05-04T12:56:50.403-04:002011-05-04T12:56:50.403-04:00yes, i agree, Peter will tell those words to Olivi...yes, i agree, Peter will tell those words to Olivia once he's through with this machine.

You can say I love you to a person and NOT make it mean anything. You can say, "i love you" but still cheat on them. So, IMO, Olivia isn't that selfish and she cares a great deal about Peter and what HE wants. <br /><br />Not sure why people act like only OLIVIA's feelings matter. PETER is the one who is risking his life here not Olivia so why would Olivia be all "poor me, Peter didn't say I love you back! Wah! he loves fauxlivia more!" when this is PETER'S big moment? <br /><br />I don't recall Olivia saying I love you to John scott when he first said it. <br /><br />BTW, maybe Peter isn't ready to say I love you to Olivia yet? Why force somebody to say i love you when you are not ready yet? It doesn't mean that Peter doesn't love her. My parents rarely say i love you to me but I KNOW they love me. So maybe Olivia KNOWS Peter loves her. <br /><br />BTW, I love you in these moments always means goodbye so maybe Peter is NOT ready to say goodbye.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-58823425697206327682011-05-04T12:28:49.925-04:002011-05-04T12:28:49.925-04:00Real1 and Anon,
