Fringe: Review of The Box

“Distraction.”

Nothing is what it appeared to be in this episode, and—as with last week—I’m not sure we have all the answers yet, either. Our Theme of the Week is distraction, but it’s distraction used for deception: not just the characters deceiving each other, but also the writers deceiving us.

Fringe Poll: Alternate Olivia's Nickname?

Theirlivia and Ourlivia

When the subject of 'alternate universes' came up at the end of Season 1, the question of what should we call the people on the other side was risen. For Olivia, the name Alt-livia was used early on, but it seems that in the scripts she is officially referred to as Bolivia (i.e. B-Olivia vs. our A-Olivia). While popular with the writers, it doesn't appear to be much of a fan favorite, especially to 'shippers' who were already referring to the Peter B(ishop) and Olivia relationship with the same name.

However another nickname has become popular - Fauxlivia - as in fake Oliva. But who are we to say that the alternate Olivia is any less real than our Olivia (Theirlivia/Ourlivia?).

I personally prefer the nickname Altlivia, and use it here most of the time. Which nickname do you prefer?

What Nickname Do You Prefer For Alternate World Olivia?

Review Of Fringe 302 'The Box'

If I had been asked to name this episode, I would have entitled it 'Distraction,' because all of the Fringe-related characters were quite distracted, with at least one thing apiece, in 302 except for Astrid, who seemed to be able to pretty much stay on task.

Walter was distracted by, of course, the strained post-reveal relationship he now finds himself in with Peter. Astrid told us Walter has not explained his side of the 'Peter' story to his surrogate son since they returned from 'Over There,' and she demanded he do so immediately, which was very Astrid. As if that wasn't enough distraction, Walter Bishop was distracted by the posthumous reading and revelation of his best friend, William Bell's will. It was quite telling that he did not respond to Peter's asking of what he received, but instead revealed the information instead (twice) to Astrid.
