Here is the fourth installment of the twelve-part Fringe web series Past + Present + Future, titled "Fringe Takes Flight".
Fringe Summer Rewatch: #315 "Subject 13"
Email Post 9/13/2011 12:16:00 PM Categories: Episodes, Fringe, Season 3, Summer Rewatch
Join us for our Fringe Summer re-watch, where we review every episode of Fringe during the summer hiatus. Comments are welcome as we dig into the connections made over three seasons.
One of the most critically acclaimed episodes of Fringe is the flashback story, Peter. This is where Walter revealed to Olivia how his son, Peter, had died, but he brought the dying Peter from the other universe here to cure him. Subject 13 picks up approximately six months after the Peter we now know was brought to this universe. Although it left me and many viewers scratching our heads on what are perceived as plot holes, I was for the most part impressed with this otherwise enlightening and highly emotionally charged episode.
Although some felt that they were a bit old for the roles, the young actors chosen for young Peter (Chandler Canterbury) and Olivia (Karley Scott Collins), were spot-on in my eyes. Each child even displayed small details that their adult counterparts show, such as Olivia tucking her hair behind her ears, and Peter’s long stare and the way he swallows hard when talking about a difficult subject.

Fringe is a love story
At its heart, Fringe has always been a love story. Surprise! Did you think you were watching a sci-fi show? You are of course, and like all good science fiction, Fringe shines most brightly when it reflects our image back at us through the lens of the bizarre. Whether it's the future, the past, another universe, or outer space, science fiction has a unique capability to show us who we are, endlessly illuminating our humanity against the backdrop of the weird, telling us the story of ourselves through metaphor. Fringe has become one of the most compelling sci-fi stories I've ever seen, because it never forgets that it's about love. Why is this universe worth fighting for? Why is that one worth saving? Because of the people who inhabit them: the complicated, flawed, glorious humanity that is capable of love. Of all the things humans have ever done, or will ever do, love is the finest, and the only one worth saving. Fringe is a story about a man who loved a boy so much he broke the universe to save him, and it's about that boy learning to love a man he grew up hating. It's about two people drawn together by forces that transcend worlds, and falling in love. It's a story about love strong enough to break the world, and strong enough to heal it.
6B is the story of Alice Merchant and her heartbreak at losing her husband after a lifetime spent together. It's also the story of Olivia, finally moving past her obstacles and daring to take that first step with Peter. It's the continuing story of Walter, and the consequences of his actions. It's one of Fringe's finest hours, a beautiful parable on the power and tragedy of love, and the ways in which we bear its cost.
Bookends
Alice and Olivia mirror each other like bookends across time and possibility. Olivia stands at the beginning of a frightening and uncertain road, unsure if she's capable of making the journey before her, unsure if she wants to. Alice stands at the other end, love's journey completed and paying the price, her grand affair over with at last. Between the two points lie the detritus of a shared lifetime: the arguments and adventures, the darkness and uncertainty, the laughter and strength that make the most ordinary seeming relationships epic in their own right. Alice's home is littered with the evidence of abiding love, a wonderland of memories Olivia has yet to make.
At the beginning of the episode, she's not ready. After Walter's adorable attempt to set them up, Olivia's defensive with Peter, still trying to pretend that it's him she's angry with, him she doesn't trust. But in the secret places of her mind she's already aware that she's only seeking the easy path, avoiding confrontation with that part of herself that believes she's too damaged to love. Peter has been amazingly patient with her, giving her as much space as she needs to work through her emotional trauma. But he hasn't been hiding his love for her; he holds it like a torch, bright and ready for her to take up if she chooses. When she confronts him with her belief that he's been hiding things from her, he answers honestly that she's right; he's been hiding the depth of his desire for a life with her, a thing he thought he caught a glimpse of before it was taken from him too. It's a reminder that Olivia wasn't the only victim in their tragedy, and when he asks her who's stopping them now, she's forced to accept that it's only herself.
This acceptance is the beginning of a conscious struggle with herself that lasts for the rest of the episode. He's got her thinking now, and although she has no answer right away, Olivia takes the first opportunity to pursue the conversation further. On seismograph duty in the bar, she brings it up again, telling Peter that she wants to know what the beauty he described feels like. She kisses him hesitantly, for the first time since she crossed universes to bring him back to her. Olivia is an astonishingly strong woman, possessed of rare courage and determination, risking her life time after time to protect other people. Love, however, requires a different kind of courage, and when she opens her eyes the glimmer surrounding him informs her that she hasn't found it yet. She retreats in confusion, and when he follows her out it's her turn to come clean – she's afraid.
It's not about Peter; she knows she can trust him, and she's no longer afraid of any lingering feelings he might have for her deceptive doppelganger. She's afraid of herself, afraid that she's lost the ability to be vulnerable, that she's become too closed to love, and the shutters may be rusted shut. Walter and Bell intended to make soldiers out of the children they experimented on, human weapons to guard their world. What if they succeeded too well? What if the reintroduction of Cortexiphan into her system and the resulting activation of her abilities, combined with the psychological trauma she's endured, has somehow numbed her to the point that she's no longer capable of letting anyone in? She's afraid that she's fallen too far down the slope of isolation to be able to pull herself back up, no matter how badly she wants to.
And she does want to. Peter loves her, simply and unequivocally. He's waiting for her lead, but his love is proffered, extended like a hand ready to pull her out of the darkness. All she has to do is take it, but first she has to remember how to reach out. Ironically, it's the inevitable pain love brings that reminds her.
….
Love always ends in grief. As inevitably as time, pain follows love like night follows day. It's the price we pay for the most precious thing we have. The cost is high, unbearably so, but we pay it because we can't help ourselves. We're made to love, and the knowledge that love and grief are inextricably connected reminds us to treasure it while we can, because sooner or later it has to end. Whether we're given a few days or a lifetime, we remain mortal, and even if we weather all the other slings and arrows that can break us apart, death will separate us in the end. There is no light without darkness, and if there was the light would have no meaning.
Alice Merchant is paying the price of a lifetime of love and happiness. She tells Olivia that after Derek died, she couldn't get out of bed. They'd been together for nearly forty-five years, and he was part of her. When he was gone her life was so empty that she wanted to die too, and when he came back to her it was a miracle she didn't question. She hurries home just to see him again, glimmering spectrally in her living room. She ignores the strange happenings around her, guarding her secret, willing to stay while the world falls down around her if she can only look at him for awhile longer. Her pain is devastating to watch, as are Derek's attempts to communicate across the vastness of loss. “There's so much more to tell you,” he says, “things I never got a chance to say."
Time catches us all out in the end. Even after forty-five years, there's never enough time.
Alice and Derek were two halves of a whole, their connection so strong that their grief for each other threatens the weakened fabric of the worlds. When Olivia tells Alice that the man she sees is not her husband and she must let him go, she cannot accept the loss, clinging desperately to love like a woman drowning. In the penultimate moments of the episode, Peter intervenes, telling Alice with utter sincerity that "you've already had what most of us only dream of: a lifetime with the person that you love. Look around you, your entire house is filled with mementos, ticket stubs, evidence of a life shared with somebody. Proof that what you and Derek had was true and real. And I know that when you have something so real you'll do anything to keep from losing it, but please, you have to let him go." Even so, it's only when Derek mentions the daughters they never had that the truth penetrates, and Alice is forced to admit that her Love is really gone, severing the connection and closing the vortex that threatens to swallow them all.
Peter's words are exactly what Olivia needed to hear. His conviction that Alice's life with Derek was worth the pain of losing him is the final blow to the walls she's built around herself, shattering the ice inside her soul. This is what he wants with her: newspapers and coffee and ticket stubs and photographs, mornings and nights and memories and life. He wants to share it with her, and she's been the one stopping him. But he's thawed her frozen self, and she's aware that she wants those things too, with him, because she is capable of love, and she's in love with Peter. And if it breaks her heart in the end, she'll have had him for a little while. It's all anyone can ask.
Later that night she's made peace with herself, and is ready at last to make peace with him. When she kisses him it's deliberate, and he can't help but sigh with relief. When the doubt tries to surface she quashes it firmly. Love is risk made certain, but life is meaningless without it, and she's kept him waiting long enough. She breaks the kiss before he's ready, and steps back a little to look at him. When he asks if he's glowing she smiles wistfully and answers no. He's filled with a different light, made of love and hope and possibility, and she's awestruck and humbled in its presence. She offers him her hand, and they climb up out of her darkness together.
Walter
Walter starts out the episode happy and singing about blueberry pancakes. He's missed Olivia the last couple of weeks, and he hates seeing her and Peter unhappy. His romantic breakfast trap is absolutely endearing, to the two of them as well as to us. When he realizes the nature of the disturbances at the Rosencrantz, he becomes agitated and uncharacteristically waspish, snapping at everyone except Olivia. In her current emotional state, she's as ephemeral as a wisp of smoke and he doesn't want her to drift away from them; he lowers his voice when he speaks to her. His distress is caused by the knowledge that this side is beginning to decay as rapidly as the other, and he has no better answer than Walternate. He's facing having to unleash amber on his world just to hold it together for a little while longer. Overriding Broyles' objections about public reaction, Walter is the one to point out that the reaction will be much worse if half of Brooklyn is swallowed up by an inter-dimensional vortex. It's a grimly sane observation. He's already showing signs of the change September was looking for. He watches without objection as Olivia and Peter enter the Rosencrantz to talk to Alice, and although he can't bring himself to do it, he's willing to tell Broyles how to activate the amber, despite the fact that his children are inside.
He's beginning to see a world worth saving beyond Peter. Only trouble is, he doesn't know how to save it. When Nina tells him that he'd better start learning, he takes her hand and holds it wordlessly against his heart.
Literary References
- Shakespeare: The Rosencrantz building is named after the character from Hamlet. Alice 's last name is Merchant, a reference to The Merchant of Venice. Derek Jacobi is an internationally renowned classical actor. Among his many Shakespearean roles was that of the treasonous Claudius in Kenneth Branagh's 1996 Hamlet.
- Rosencrantz: In Stoppard's play, Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead, Rosencrantz wins ninety-two coin tosses in a row, each of them coming up heads, leading Gildenstern to speculate that there may be “un, sub, or supernatural” forces at work. The title characters are portrayed as powerless over the events that sweep them along, yet sentient enough to realize that they are pawns of fate. Their memories are faulty and incomplete. At the end of the play (and occurring offstage in Hamlet itself,) Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are betrayed by Hamlet and left holding a letter that orders the execution of it's bearers. Awaiting execution for no crime, Gildenstern wonders why they must die: “Was it all for this? Who are we that so much should converge on our little deaths?” Answers the Tragedian: “You are Rosencrantz and Gildenstern and that is enough.”
- Alice: another among many references to Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
Music
- There's a lot of music in this one. Walter's idea of mood music is Feelings. The consummation song is Lou Reed's lovely Pale Blue Eyes. Peter tells Olivia a hilariously disturbing story about Walter's clothing optional rendition of Never Gonna Give You Up, to which she responds that she loves Barry White. Peter told Fauxlivia that he'd never heard her express any interest in music.
- At the bar, Peter plays For Once in My Life, the song sung by Olivia in Brown Betty.
- Violet Sedan Chair: (She's Doing Fine) She really does look a LOT like Alice. Alice Merchant could easily be Olivia in forty years.
- Walter refers to the idea of emotional quantum entanglement as “spooky action at a distance.”In physics, action at a distance refers to the interaction of separate objects with no observable means of interacting. As Peter puts it: “Two objects interacting with each other even though they're separated by a great distance.” “Action at a distance” is a line from Seven Suns (Rising).
Odds and Ends
- The awning outside the Rosencrantz building says Tulip Food, and there's a vase full of White Tulips on Alice's end table.
- Mrs. Marcello is leaving the Rosencrantz for less haunted territory. Her destination is the Schrödinger Hotel.
- The concept of Soul Magnets is introduced here. Walter says that used to argue with William Bell about what happened to the energy of the body after death. Bell theorized that the energy could be captured. He said if he were right he'd contact Walter from the great beyond, but Walter hasn't gotten the call. Yet.
- Walter demonstrates the impending vortex by tapping a piece of glass with a hammer. The fracture pattern is nearly identical to the pattern of Fringe events around the soft spots in New York and Providence, shown in There's More Than One of Everything. As if to make certain we notice this, there's a monitor showing both cities with their surrounding patterns in the office where Peter, Walter and Olivia are discussing the possibility of emotional quantum entanglement.
- Olivia's fear that she's lost the ability to love reminds me strongly of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Buffy periodically worries that the burden and isolation of being the slayer is making her too hard to form normal bonds with people.
- The initialization sequence on the amber canister blinks GGGR.
- February eighteenth is officially second guess everything Walter does day, so sayeth me.
If Peter didn't exist...
Peter was instrumental in preventing the vortex at the Rosencrantz. Again, he refuses to accept the accelerating entropy and insists that “There's gotta be another way.” It was Peter who insisted on finding a reason for the incidents, rather than simply ambering the place over. He's the one who questioned why Alice could see the other side, and why she could only see Derek. And it was he who guessed that it must have been the other Alice who lost the coin toss, leading directly to the conclusion that it was human emotion causing a rift between worlds. And even before Derek mentioned his daughters, Alice was listening to him. If it hadn't been for Peter, our side would have either seen its first amber quarantine, or its first gaping wound.

'Fringe' Friday: Fox launches Web series 'Past + Present + Future' to recap the sci-fi epic by Jeff Jensen
As mind-boggling as Fringe can be, devoted fans of the Fox TV series probably have no need for a refresher course about the show’s now-elaborate mythology. Yet “Past + Present + Future” – a new series of recap videos that launches today at Fox.com – is worth checking out for longtime viewers (and is a must for newbies curious to check out the sci-fi drama in the wake of its acclaimed third season), especially with Dr. Walter Bishop himself doing the narration. The first installment provides a big picture overview of the series. The second installment – called “A Tragic Past” – begins the deep dive exploration of the saga.
John Noble makes for an engrossing, entertaining guide, his sonorous voice finding the right balance of gravity and wink. “Bishop and Bell were once the Lennon and McCartney of science, lab partners intent on pushing the boundaries and blurring the perceptions of reality,” Noble narrates, just ahead of a memorably hilarious clip from the show in which the actor’s mad scientist character explains, with grave seriousness: “When Belly and I were younger men, we regularly ingested large quantities of LSD.” (Cut to: Joshua Jackson’s droll reaction shot. “You don’t say?”) The recap series is a compressed, chronological summary of Fringeverse history, providing a clear, coherent picture of Fringe’s epic puzzle narrative. “It’s like a condensed Reader’s Digest version of Fringe,” Noble tells EW via email. “It will tantalize and entice Fringe fans, new and old, with the rich and extraordinary story we’ve been telling for 66 episodes, and prepare them for the ongoing adventures in Season 4.”
Which, by the way, begins Sept. 23.

As for my theory that the title “Past + Present + Future” is a cryptic clue to the newly created jumbled-up Dr. Manhattan-meets-Minkowski spacetime nature of the Fringeverse in the wake of Peter’s reality-rebooting quantum leap in the season 3 finale – and that the mysteries of Fringe can be explained either as a mash-up of C.S. Lewis’ unfinished final novel The Dark Tower and Stephen King’s cycle of Dark Tower novels… or as a fancifully odd adaptation of the two-part album series “Past:Present:Future” by the Dutch pop band Ch!pz — no sane individual associated with the show, including Noble, cared to comment.

Fringe Summer Rewatch: #310 "The Firefly"
Email Post 9/08/2011 12:01:00 AM Categories: Fringe, Season 3, Summer Rewatch
Join us for our Fringe Summer re-watch, where we review every episode of Fringe during the summer hiatus. Comments are welcome as we dig into the connections made over three seasons.
If I was asked the most important episodes of Fringe, I would definitely include 310, "The Firefly." It is the 4th episode to include more than just a passing glance of an Observer. In fact, it's safe to say that "The Firefly" is Observer-centric(or more specifically, September-centric).
If you've watched "The Firefly" in chronological order during the Season 3 airings only, you will need to go back and watch this episode again after having viewed all the way through 322. Why? Like most of the Season 3 episodes of Fringe, they make more sense if you rewatch them after you've seen the complete season set. Do you remember that word "gestault" in school? It means, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and I think that definitely applies to the Season 3 set of Fringe, and "The Firefly" in particular.

“I understand the facts. I know that she had reams of information about me and about my life and about the people that were close to me. And I understand that if she slipped up that she would have a completely reasonable explanation for it. And I guess to expect you to have seen past that is perhaps asking a bit too much. But when I was Over There, I thought about you and you were just a figment of my imagination. But I held onto you and it wasn’t reasonable, and it wasn’t logical, but I did it, so… why didn’t you? She wasn’t me. How could you not see that? Now she’s everywhere. She’s in my house, my job, my bed, and I don’t want to wear my clothes anymore and I don’t want to live in my apartment, and I don’t want to be with you. She’s taken everything.” - Olivia

The scene opens up at a train station; a place much used by Fringe incidents and we follow a man following another man. Sounds simple enough, right? Until the man being stalked grows dizzy and passes out and he wakes up in the middle of his own surgery and the stalker calling an ambulance . The stalker apologies, stating that there was no other way and presses a needle into his neck and he passes out again. Two EMTs arrive on the scene a short while later to the scene of a bloodied plastic screen put up in the house and beneath the surgical sheet, an opened chest with the heart removed. EMT one shouts out to his partner just as the man who’s chest is open takes a deep breath and begs the EMT to not let him die and then he breathes his last.
In Boston, Olivia is waiting for Broyles in his office and he is startled to see her smiling in wait. They get to talking about the other side and Walternate’s progress with crossing over safely. She explains that Walternate is driven and only sees this war in black in white; his world or theirs. When the machine is brought up, Olivia seems anxious to see it and Broyles gives her permission once she is clear for duty. Olivia pleads with him to let her start work immediately, stating that she promised a good friend she would work to fix both of their worlds and prevent this war. Broyles picks up pretty quickly that it is his alternate they are discussing and he asks her questions about him and his family.
At the Bishop Residence, Walter and Peter are readying themselves for a field trip. Walter gives Peter a lecture about being honest with Olivia and Peter is adamant that he intends to tell Olivia everything, despite how awkward he knows it will be. Walter is proud and tells Peter he is a better man than himself. They arrive on the scene and watch as Broyles pulls up and gets out. Peter freezes for a moment when Olivia also gets out of the vehicle, looking rather cheerful and upbeat. He covers for himself by asking if she should be in bed resting, but Broyles explains that she is clear for cases now.
Walter and Peter are looking into the body and determine that the man who had his heart removed has had heart surgery before. Peter soon discovers that the man has a medicine cabinet filled with meds all prescribed by a specific doctor and Broyles sends Olivia and Peter to go talk to him. While waiting for him to be out of heart surgery, Olivia shares a bit of how she feels about being back and her things lived in by someone else. She describes it as disconcerting, but otherwise doesn’t seem down about it until Peter admits that there are things he needs to tell her about her alternate self.
He starts off stating that he did notice changes when they’d gotten back; small ones, but definite changes. I’m not sure if anyone else felt the same but I was definitely telling the TV to shut up when Peter began his speech. We all know he meant well, but it sounded like he was digging his own grave. Some of the changes he listed were that she was much quicker with a smile, less intense, and she seemed determined to be happier now that she’d seen the “other” her. Olivia looks slightly confused and the hurt settles in for a few seconds before she’s brushing off his concern, and telling him it was alright and that it didn’t matter because she was back. Peter needed to be sure that she understood though, and continued stating that when she had asked him to come back so they could be together that he did come back to be with her and that’s when it begins to sink in for Olivia as Peter explains that he and her alternate had dated and were together. Peter states clearly that he really thought it was her he was dating. Olivia gets flustered especially when he admits that everyone else knew about their relationship and begins to build up a defense both for her and him when she begins talking about her alternate’s life on the other side. Her alternate was loved by friends and family and had a caring boyfriend that who knows what would’ve happened had he been in town and because no one there knew it was actually her and so she says she doesn’t blame Peter for also not noticing. Lucky or not for Peter the nurse comes out and informs them that the doctor is now out of surgery and able to talk. Olivia is the first to leave the table and Peter follows. The doctor explains that the man has had a heart transplant just recently after being on the donor recipient list for over a year.

In the baddy’s lair there’s a young woman with many stitches and the man who stole the heart is telling her that soon she will be ready.
Back at the lab, Astrid is packing up for the day as Peter walks in looking happy. Walter convinces Peter to smell the body and when Peter isn’t vomiting he concludes with Walter that something is off. The body has slowed to almost zero degradation and has yet to show normal signs of decaying. Walter, noticing Peter’s chipper mood and comment on the lack of sleep asks him about Olivia and if they’d talked about what had happened. Peter tells him that he has and that she took it surprising well and Walter poses the idea of her having been replaced with a robot.
At Olivia’s place she is going through her closet and eyeing her clothes carefully, glancing sideways at her reflection in the mirror and getting annoyed with the bangs. She caches sight of the tattoo on the back of her neck when brushing her hair back and grows more agitated. Olivia removes all the clothes from their hangers and then strips the sheets from her bed to wash. When she makes it to washer and dryer she notices a load already in there and begins pulling the clothing out; her eyes getting stuck on what shirt in particular that could only be Peter’s MIT one. Olivia tears up at this and finally gives in to her emotional turmoil and crumbles to the ground to cry.
The next day Olivia and Astrid meet in the break room at the federal building and discuss the other her and Peter and the relationship they shared. When Astrid seems hesitant to answer her questions Olivia tries to make a quick escape but Astrid stops her. She tells Olivia that Peter fell for her and not her alternate and that he still has feelings for Olivia. Olivia seems to take this to heart and thanks Astrid before they both head off to the meeting Broyles has set up.
Broyles brings them up to speed on a spree of stolen organs in five different states with the same MO. He goes on to explain that all of the organs stolen were donor parts and from the same donor. They notice that the girl who had her organs donated has also donated her eyes and those weren't in any pictures. Broyles makes the call to find out who got the girl's eyes. They get a lead that the girl's name is Amanda Walsh and Broyles, Olivia, and Peter go to a warehouse in hopes of finding the man who received her eyes. After hearing some noises Olivia finds a man with no eyes. They were to late. After talking to the family they discover that Amanda committed suicide after joining a help group with other depressed people. After discovering hat her ashes aren't her ashes, Walter poses that someone is trying to Amanda back together again and has her body along with her organs.
We get a glimpse at one the man is up to when he strings Amanda up into a marionette set and strings her along to perform ballet to keep her body moving and "healthy". He is very emotional as he makes her perform a ballet routine.
At the lab Peter and Olivia are holed up in an office going over people Amanda knew and Peer gets frustrated when Olivia shoots down all of Peter's ideas for suspects. He asks her why she keeps shooting them down and she says that whoever it is out there putting Amanda together is doing it because he loved her. This makes Peter freeze up for a second before the tension builds and they go back to work. Finally Peter finds a Roland David Barrett who seems to fit the bill.
At the hideout, Roland is able to reanimate Amanda but soon discovers that what he has brought back isn't his Amanda. He hears the FBI break into his place and he leaves Amanda to escape, but Olivia tackles him to the ground before he can get too far. Peter, Walter, and Bishop are already in the basement when they discover Amanda and Olivia stays upstairs to interview Roland. He confesses that he only wanted to give her a second chance, but what he saw in her eyes when she was back, he knew it wasn't her. When they do find Amanda, she is dead and we're not sure how she got that way - if it was natural or something Roland did out of guilt.

While everything is getting packed up, Peter finds Olivia in the back, looking upset and lost. When Peter asks her what is wrong she finally tells him how she really feels; leaving nothing out this time and Peter gets the reaction he probably assumed he'd get.
At the very end we see an Observer watching Peter and Walter at a diner while they get the promised strawberry milkshake and he opens his phone saying that he has arrived and that "he" is still alive. Though they never say who "he" is, it is safe to deduce after a few more episodes that it is Peter they are talking about.

This episode is definitely another reference to "Brown Betty". Candy Man, a serial kidnapper who steals youth from kids to enable him to change from old to young, is back. This is upsetting to Colonel Philip Broyles as his son was one of Candy Man's victims. Olivia gets Christopher's help to save another little boy before it is too late. We got to see into Broyles family life like we did in "Earthling". Unlike his counterpart in the other universe, his marriage is very much intact. Yet there home is scarred by tragedy. Broyles is twice grateful for what Olivia has done to give them the peace of mind. Given the opportunity, I think Broyles would have let Liv go free.
Let's start with some observations of Max Clayton's room. There are nine planets in the solar system as seen in the poster hanging on the closet door. Aside from the familiar Clue and Operation games and the book Burlap Bear Goes To The Woods, there is something I find very interesting. Quarantine Zone: The Board Game. On the box you can see this phrase. CAN YOU ESCAPE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE?
Olivia, who was becoming aware of her identity, intends to make a break for home. She needs Henry's help to take her to Liberty Island. But not before tackling one last case. Her work in this case remind me of the other Olivia, in "Immortality". It is easy to see through Liv the same dedication she has in her work. We have Diane's impression of her. More reasons that we should like the other Olivia.
Olivia is captured when she attempted to cross back to the gift shop, because this was never her way home. The Secretary would not have facilitated her escape. I suspect the drugs he gave Olivia inhibited her ability from cross over for good. Remember the saying on the bubble gum wrapper "You can't get THERE from HERE." It applies in this case too. But she did manage to get the message to Peter.
Additional Thoughts:
In the Clayton living room, there was a drawing of an airplane. They must have been as common as the airships once. The plane in the picture was depicted flying. What happened that we don't see them or have not seen them over there for over twenty-five years? Exhausted supply of fossil fuel to power them? Whatever the case, young Peter found a toy plane fascinating.
If Peter Bishop Never Existed...
Every kidnapping case is treated as a Fringe Event according to the Peter Bishop Act of '91. If Peter never existed, Fringe would not be called upon to investigate the kidnapping.
Fringe fans, pull out your magnifying glasses: It's time to analyze the cryptic new promotional images Fox has created to help launch the sci-fi saga's fourth season premiering on Sept. 23. Each shot features a cast member either on a curving pathway or on the steps of some ziggurat-like structure. In the background: A structure (Fringe division's Harvard HQ?) trapped in a bubble embedded with near-subliminal triangles. Above: Blue sky and puffy clouds. My Doc Jensen brain whirs with possibilities.
I see encoded allusions to Stephen King's Under The Dome, multiverse or ''bubble universe'' conjecture (also see: chaotic inflation theory), the surrealist paintings of Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte, and of course, The Celestial Sphere of the Great Pyramid. (Look it up! I'm sure it explains everything. That, and The Dark Tower, too.) You'll notice actor Seth Gabel in the mix; look for his once-recurring character, Agent Lincoln Lee, to get more screen time this season. We should brace for a terrifically trippy season that'll play with notions of reality, eternity, and all of Fringe history as we know it. Do you see anything that hints at a resolution to last year's cliffhanger question: Did Peter Bishop eradicate himself from reality by traveling through time? Post your own oddball observations in the comments!

When Amber 31422 first aired, I remember the reception being shaky. However, I really enjoyed this episode and do not feel it is a “throwaway” episode in any way. In an overall story involving doppelgangers, the tale of identical twins made me think about the nature of what makes us who were are. Plus, the similarity in the twins-switch versus the switched Olivias was engaging. I really enjoyed the performances by real-life twins Shawn and Aaron Ashmore. I also appreciated one of the many callbacks seen in Fringe: Walking through walls was used to steal hidden objects from vaults belonging to Walter in the Season One episode, Safe.
Olivia was fully immersed into the life of her counterpart from Over There. Walternate had no problem in fooling Olivia in a quest to find out how she was able to safely cross into his universe. Of course, in his viewpoint, Olivia was an invader and enemy. Yet I found it difficult to feel sympathy for him because he also treated the Olivia from his own world as a pawn. His Olivia was sent blind into another world, with no knowledge of Waltenate’s intentions for that world - or for his son. However, she was eventually able to see just how wrong she was treated by Walternate. Walternate used both of the Olivias’ desires to be heroes to his advantage.
The Weight of the World
This episode showed some more of the consequences of Amber protocol, particularly the loss of many lives. Yet, there was a terrible secret that was kept from the public: Those trapped in Amber were not dead, merely in a state of suspended animation.
Walternate felt the loss of something precious. His son. He also described the first time he had to initiate the Amber protocol, and the date stuck out to me: October 17, 1989. The date of the earthquake in San Francisco, which in our world was important. In the episode August, the parents of Christine Hollis died in the earthquake. The observer August watched her all of her life, and he fell in love with her - he protected her with his very life.
Walternate told Broyles a statement that pretty much encapsulates his character:
Unfortunately the true “balance” meant the survival of both worlds, as Peter came to find out before blinking to wherever he is - or isn’t…
While I truly can not feel complete sympathy for him, Walternate's heart-felt issues concerning the magnitude of Amber dispersal did show a soft side to the man. Truly, it would be awful to have to do terrible things to some families, so that the greater good could be accomplished. Walter would face some of these very hard facts in 6B when he had to grapple with the same reservations about using Amber as Walternate did. Even to the point of Ambering Olivia and Peter, if it came down to it.
How Far Would You Go?
Joshua Rose made a mistake and paid for it many years. But as he said, he never gave up. He wanted to do “one good thing,” so he made sure that he was trapped in Amber at the end, so that his brother could rejoin his family in peace. Danielle Rose had mentioned that Matthew had complete awareness the entire time he was trapped, and that his last fearful thought was stuck in his mind. At least in the end, it seemed Joshua was stuck in a thought of happiness for doing the right thing. Once again Fringe shows how far one would go for those he or she loves, and this is another example of “being a good man.”
Two People Who Look Exactly Alike
The key to projection Peter’s statement to Olivia concerning the Rose twins being comparable to her situation with her alternate is the word “Look.” He also brought up an example of two twins that Olivia knew in school, one being smarter than the other. In other words, same packaging, but different contents.
In the case of Joshua and Matthew, they may have been genetic copies, but otherwise were very different. Joshua exhibited a capability with technology whereas Matthew was an accountant.
It is a terrible thing to look like a killer. Joshua, posing as his brother Matthew, told Olivia and Lincoln:
Walter spoke about Walternate in The Day We Died:
When Olivia came back from the other side, she had to come face-to-face with the revelation that she was essentially replaced. She dallied back and forth thinking that her alternate was Peter’s preference. It really hurt when she told Nina Sharp, “She’s like me, but better.” Olivia discounted herself so much.
It must have been terrible for Danielle Rose to live with a man that looked exactly like her trapped husband. After all the time he was gone, they were able to pick-up where they left off, still very much in love.
For All Intents and Purposes?
The personality of our Olivia peaked through the attempt at making her just like her alternate.
What is Real?
Projection Peter made another appearance, and explained to Olivia that pills would not make him go away. Olivia told him that he’s “not real,” to which he smiled. I’m fairly well-convinced that Olivia’s visions of Peter will have far more significance in season four. One of the lines in The Firefly seemed to be a bit of Peter being sarcastic with Walter but did this line mean more?
Did Lincoln Lee lose family/friends to an Amber quarantine?
Walternate mentioned to Broyles a breach in Harvard yard. Did this have anything to do with Walter in our universe?
Did the other Olivia receive a phone call from Rachel about the call with Ella? It is odd that nothing ever came from the sudden call drop due to Olivia crossing back Over There.
If Peter Was Removed From the Equation...
Olivia was Over There because of Peter. The events that caused the breaches in the universe may have still occurred without Peter. So, if Olivia wasn’t Over There…
Joshua Rose might have been able to avoid detection and avoided encasing himself in Amber if our Olivia was not on the case.
Charlie and Lincoln may have died in the blast at Joshua Rose’s apartment.
Today's News: Our Take Exclusive: Fringe Season 4 Promo Poster Revealed!

Fringe: Where is Peter Bishop?
Right here, folks! In this exclusive first-look at Fringe's Season 4 promo poster, fans finally get proof that the producers won't be playing games with our hearts by keeping Josh Jackson's recently evaporated character out in the ether for too long. In fact, as you can see from this Escher-meets-action ad, our boy is clearly back and seems poised for action alongside Liv, Walter and a lot of expectations when the show returns on Sept. 23 at 9/8c on Fox.
"This season we have earned [the right] for Peter to be more self-actualized," says executive producer Jeff Pinkner. "He's a huge component and key to the really big stuff we're [doing]."
Phew! So now that we know that, who has a theory about the fallen cubes imagery? And how excited are you for "Fringe Fridays" to fire up in three weeks?

As seen below, the Season 4 poster features series leads Joshua Jackson, Anna Torv and John Noble, their characters’ worlds seemingly “shattered” by the events of the May finale, in which Peter joined the two universes with a portal room, only to then cease to exist. Oh and hey, there’s also a few Observers… observing.
More to the point, the poster promises a “New Beginning” for Peter, Olivia and Walter — and a storyline that enters “New Dimensions.” Check out the image (CLICK TO ZOOM), then share your latest expectations for the out-of-this-world-and-that-other-world drama, which returns Friday, Sept. 23, at 9/8c.

Unanswered Questions Raised In "Marionette"
If it wasn't Amanda that came back, who or what was it?
If Olivia was all about telling the truth why did she lie for so long through the episode before caving? Was she also lying to herself?
Honestly, he didn't do all too much case related stuff in this episode, but he did contribute a good 50% of the emotional drama that made this the rich episode it was.

Fringe Summer Rewatch: #308 "Entrada"
Email Post 9/06/2011 07:35:00 AM Categories: Fringe, Season 3, Summer Rewatch
Join us for our Fringe Summer re-watch, where we review every episode of Fringe during the summer hiatus. Comments are welcome as we dig into the connections made over three seasons.
"I think this world is in as much pain as it can stand. We need to restore hope."
This is it. This is the episode we waited for in agonies of frustration and suspense, for just over seven months last year. First over the course of the summer, and then week after week, through two short (but boy did they ever feel long) breaks, it all came down to Entrada - when Olivia finally, finally came home. But of course by the time she made it, everything at home was all wrong.
"Is this Peter Bishop?"
"Yes."
"I'm calling from New York. I know this is going to sound crazy but I just saw a woman disappear in front of my eyes."
“Who is this?”
"Her name was Olivia. She has a message for you: she's trapped in the other universe."
And with those words everything shatters.
Over Here
Peter's face is fixed and still as he rolls over to look at the woman whose bed he's sharing. Until just now, he'd thought he loved her, dismissing the missteps and surprises along the way as by-products of learning a new lover. But as soon as he heard the stranger's words it clicked for him, the pieces fell into place, and it's only the ingrained con man that saves him from urge to skitter across the room in revulsion. Instead he lets her snuggle closer, making up some lame story as she drifts off, lying there next to her for nearly two hours before getting up to confirm the knot of dread and suspicion roiling in his guts.
She catches him of course, and fails the test he throws at her. They both know the game is up, but they continue to play it while feeling for their next moves. When she leaves the room he goes for her gun, but it's too late, she got it on her way out and now it's pointed at him.
Her voice when she asks if he's going to kill her sounds like she wouldn't blame him for trying. And he might be right to try.
She checks his pulse after he injects himself with the paralytic, unable to resist a last caress of his jaw when she does. She's as gentle as she can be, reassuring him that the effects of the drug will wear off in a few hours before making her escape. He's unable to respond, face frozen in a frightening, blasted expression.
When he's able to move again, he calls for help. He's had hours to sit and think about how stupid he's been,* how easily she fooled him. Hours in which to worry about his Olivia; is she even alive? Hours to think about how impossible it's going to be to get her back, and how much more impossible it'll be to tell her what he's done. Hours in which to learn brand new avenues of self-hatred. Walter tries lamely to cover for him in response to Broyles' probing, but Peter's having none of it. Bluntly he admits the nature of his relationship with Fauxlivia, welcoming any remonstration Broyles sees fit to dish out. But Broyles refuses to oblige, swallowing his surprise in favor of tacit sympathy for Peter's position, and a shared determination to get their girl back.
Walter is nearly in tears, unable to come up with any idea as to how to retrieve Olivia. Broyles enters with the disturbing news that Fauxlivia has stolen a piece of the machine, and if that was her mission, she may be going home. If she escapes, Walternate may be able to complete his device, but more importantly, if they lose Fauxlivia they lose their chance to use her as a trade. For all of them, the prospect of universal war is eclipsed by the much more personal threat of losing Olivia for good.
Walter's hysterical ramblings catch Astrid's attention when he places a pastry box on the table in front of her. It's from the Bronx. Following it to it's origin, Peter finds the typewriter shop next door, and from there the Fringe team is able to track Fauxlivia's movements to Penn Station. The ride to the station is painfully tense. To fill up the silence, Broyles questions Walter about the extraction point, both men casting worried glances at Peter, who's letting it all wash over him with a face like a wasteland, eyes red rimmed with grief. Concerned, Broyles tries to reassure him, telling him "Peter we'll get her. We're going to bring Olivia home." Deep in the nadir of despair, Peter is unconvinced.
Over There
Walternate and Brandon are making arrangements for switching Olivias. Brandon reveals himself to be a far bigger monster than Walternate when he suggests that they keep some of Olivia's parts for study, substituting their mass when they make the switch. Colonel Broyles has a meeting with the Secretary, drinking to the safe return of their Olivia. On his way out of Walternate's office, Broyles passes a screaming, struggling Olivia being manhandled out of a testing room. Deeply disturbed, he turns away.
He's unable to leave it be though, paying her a visit instead. When he arrives, Olivia is examining the markings on her face in the back of a spoon that came with the dinner she hasn't touched. She's huddled on the floor, heartbreakingly small and terrified. She shows him the marks, telling him they're going to swap her with her alternate, but they're going to kill her first, cut out her brain and study it. He's clearly torn, wanting to help her but convinced that his world is dying because of what hers is doing to it. She pleads with him vehemently, "Despite what you think my universe is not at war with yours. This all began because a man came over here to save a boy. And twenty-five years later I came back to save that same boy...if you let me go, both universes can survive. There must be another way, and I promise you I will find it."
Broyles asks how he's supposed to trust that she's telling the truth, that her side doesn't want to destroy his. Voice breaking, she tells him “If you don't trust me, then there is no hope.”
Left alone to meet her fate, Olivia is sedated and paralyzed but aware as Brandon prepares to vivisect her. She's unable to react as she hears the medical saw whir to life. And then Broyles is there, releasing her from the table, having spoken to his wife and made his decision. "You came back for me," she says hazily, too sedated to express more than mild surprise. "Don't thank me yet, I have to give you adrenaline," he says before stabbing her in the chest with the needle.
At Walternate's lab at Harvard, Olivia and Broyles fill the old tank, identical to the one on her side. As she's stepping into it a Fringe division swat team bursts through the outer doors, and Broyles explains that they tracked him through a subcutaneous tracking device. Before shutting her in the tank he tells her "Look I've seen war. But if what you're saying is true...in the end I have to believe in hope. Please make this worth it."
She closes her eyes against the gunfire and flips.
Over Here
At Penn station, Olivia has met her extractor, and had harmonic rods roughly implanted in her body. Fringe division and swarms of FBI descend on the place and Peter spots her emerging from the bathroom with the shape-shifter, thundering "Dunham! Freeze!" in a terrible voice we've never heard before. Faux fires a few rounds and ducks back into the bathroom, coming back out with a civilian hostage. The woman's daughter sees her mother being held at gunpoint and begins to scream. Peter asks the woman what her daughter's name is, and when she can't answer, he kills the shape-shifter with a clean, perfect shot to the head.
Fauxlivia is taken, but has no idea where Olivia is or how to get her back - that wasn't part of her assignment. Peter's jaw clenches at the word, and she doesn't like the wordless betrayal on his face. Before she's led away, she tells him that what started out as an assignment became something more. “That,” he says, stepping close and cupping her cheek, “would be so much easier to believe if you weren't in handcuffs right now.” Swallowing, she looks down, unable to meet his gaze. After she's gone, an officer brings Peter the backpack they found in the bathroom. In it are the photo booth pictures of the two of them together.
Alone in the lab, Astrid goes cold at the sudden ominous creaking sounds behind her. She turns slowly, dropping her beaker in shock to see a soaking wet Olivia climbing out of the previously unoccupied tank. Olivia smiles at her tremulously, and collapses.
Fauxlivia sits alone in the back of the armored car, when the rods in her hands begin to glow. Broyles gets off the phone with Astrid to deliver the news that Olivia is back and en route to the hospital. Peter is on his way when Walter puts things together a bit too late, and there's an energy shock wave from the back of the armored car. Peter and Walter recoil in horror upon opening the door, and Broyles ignores Peter's hasty plea to stop, taking in the brutalized remains of his other self in Fauxlivia's place. Colonel Broyles sacrifice literally cost him an arm and a leg.
Alone, Broyles faces his own mortality in a horrifically weird way, closing the eyes of his other self.
Typewriter Guy finally gets the reward he's been waiting for. It's delivered in a single injection, through an old timey syringe. And the agent who delivers it gets the piece of the machine in return.
Olivia wakes in the hospital to find Peter sitting beside her. She smiles at him and he can't understand how he mistook her before. This is Olivia, the one he loves. The one he betrayed. "I'm sorry Olivia." he says, taking her hand in both of his, with no idea how to begin to explain.
"Don't apologize." she says, tired but happy. At home, at peace. With Peter.
"You were the only thing that got me through. If it wasn't for you I would never have made it back. You saved my life."
He can't tell her - not right now, not while she's so tired and weak and relieved. He kisses her forehead gently, saving the pain for another day.
Aftermath
Peter
Poor Peter. He's in emotional free fall right now, perhaps more so than when he found out Walter had stolen him as a child. He loves Olivia, came back for Olivia, had a relationship with her. Only to find out that it wasn't her. He is both the betrayed and the betrayer, and right now the latter role is foremost in his mind. He'll get over it eventually, self-loathing is more Olivia's style than his. But right now he really hates himself. He knows he'll have to come clean, sooner rather than later, and the thought sickens him. He's doesn't want to hurt Olivia, but he knows he has to, and he's afraid that it'll be the end of any chance they had. He's angry, and scared, and confused, and right now he feels that it's all his own fault. He's a miserable heartbreaking mess.
Olivia
Poor Olivia. She's just come out of one of the most traumatic experiences imaginable. Trapped in a foreign world for weeks, brainwashed, used, experimented on, and nearly dissected - she's been alone and scared for a long time. But for now she's blissfully unaware that it's about to get so much worse. It's amazing she makes it out of this without ending up in the funny farm.
Fauxlivia
Poor Fauxlivia. I believe her. I think she did love Peter, at least a little. And she certainly didn't want to hurt him, especially once she got to know him. She was given a mission fueled by inaccuracies and lies, told that it was “us or them” and naturally she went into it thinking of everyone on this side as bad guys. Walternate told her “Don't be deceived, Olivia. They're monsters in our skin. They'll do anything, say anything to gain our trust. But they can't be trusted.” It was only once she was on this side that she saw she'd been mislead, that people n this side are no different than those on her own. And Peter's insistence on finding a way to save both worlds touched something in her that responded to her idea of right, and in the end she's willing to gamble everything on Peter's belief that it's possible. She's a good person who was put into an impossible situation, and she did what she saw as her duty to the best of her ability, even when it made her feel filthy inside. In her mind, she was doing what was necessary to save her world, and all the billions of people in it. And now she's home, and the old swagger in her walk is a lie. She's haunted by what she did to Peter.
Observations
Peter is a crack shot. I doubt the man in Johari Window was his first kill.
Astrid is again pivotal to solving the case.
Broyles seems to have no problem with the idea of Peter and Olivia being a couple. Is it different because he's not technically FBI?
Unanswered question
If Fauxlivia stole a part from Over Here for Walternate's machine, how did ours become fully assembled? Am I forgetting something?
If Peter didn't exist...
It's unlikely the swap would have ever taken place, since the whole reason Olivia and the others went Over There in the first place was to bring him back. Colonel Broyles would still be alive. And Walternate would have had to find another way to retrieve the missing pieces for his machine, and another power source to activate it.
*This is me getting inside the character's head. I adore Peter. These are his thoughts.
Fringe Summer Rewatch: #307 "The Abducted"
Email Post 9/05/2011 01:41:00 AM Categories: Fringe, Season 3, Summer Rewatch
Join us for our Fringe Summer re-watch, where we review every episode of Fringe during the summer hiatus. Comments are welcome as we dig into the connections made over three seasons.
This episode is definitely another reference to "Brown Betty". Candy Man, a serial kidnapper who steals youth from kids to enable him to change from old to young, is back. This is upsetting to Colonel Philip Broyles as his son was one of Candy Man's victims. Olivia gets Christopher's help to save another little boy before it is too late.

Broyles is twice grateful for what Olivia has done to give them the peace of mind. Given the opportunity, I think Broyles would have let Liv go free.
Let's start with some observations of Max Clayton's room. There are nine planets in the solar system as seen in the poster hanging on the closet door.

I suspect the drugs he gave Olivia inhibited her ability from cross over for good. Remember the saying on the bubble gum wrapper "You can't get THERE from HERE." It applies in this case too. But she did manage to get the message to Peter.
Additional Thoughts:
- The prayer could be used to sum up the course of Fringe.
Through suffering comes redemption.
Through sorrow comes exaltation.
Through pitch dark comes a cleansing fire.
Through the fire, we shall find a spring of new life.
- Lincoln tries to cheer up Liv with Red Vines. "They're new." If there was a strawberry shortages, they are likely artificial in flavour.
- Olivia makes a connection to the Claus and Christopher Penrose case, suspecting Candy Man was stealing the children's pituitary glands to become young. Are we going to see reverse again in Season 4? Genius Walter has a genius for a son. I still cling to the belief that perhaps Peter is Walter's clone. Where is my age progression software?
- Fringe Events turned people towards religion, believing faith will heal their wounded world. It's a recurring theme.
- The scenes in Olivia's apartment. Come on, admit it. It was an awww moment. This phrase comes to mind. Ignorance is bliss. Bliss is where Olivia is right now. She had not known hardship like her double yet. Liv, Lincoln, and Charlie have no reason to question authority at this stage in the story. That's where they grow from. It begins in "Bloodline" for Lincoln and Charlie. For Liv in "6:02 AM EST". Olivia will see then The Secretary's true colours and choose to do the right thing.
 |
| Liv: I thought you said it was a love story. |
Peter: Aren't all the best love stories tragedies?
- Oh Liv, you romantic. Well, she did guess Olivia and Peter were a couple before they became one. And it seems Peter is speaking from experience. It kind of foreshadowed "The Day We Died". (I have to save my thoughts about Bolivia's love lost in my rewatch of "Immortality".)
In the Clayton living room, there was a drawing of an airplane. They must have been as common as the airships once. The plane in the picture was depicted flying. What happened that we don't see them or have not seen them over there for over twenty-five years? Exhausted supply of fossil fuel to power them? Whatever the case, young Peter found a toy plane fascinating.
If Peter Bishop Never Existed...
Every kidnapping case is treated as a Fringe Event according to the Peter Bishop Act of '91. If Peter never existed, Fringe would not be called upon to investigate the kidnapping.

Fringe fans, pull out your magnifying glasses: It's time to analyze the cryptic new promotional images Fox has created to help launch the sci-fi saga's fourth season premiering on Sept. 23. Each shot features a cast member either on a curving pathway or on the steps of some ziggurat-like structure. In the background: A structure (Fringe division's Harvard HQ?) trapped in a bubble embedded with near-subliminal triangles. Above: Blue sky and puffy clouds. My Doc Jensen brain whirs with possibilities.
I see encoded allusions to Stephen King's Under The Dome, multiverse or ''bubble universe'' conjecture (also see: chaotic inflation theory), the surrealist paintings of Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte, and of course, The Celestial Sphere of the Great Pyramid. (Look it up! I'm sure it explains everything. That, and The Dark Tower, too.) You'll notice actor Seth Gabel in the mix; look for his once-recurring character, Agent Lincoln Lee, to get more screen time this season. We should brace for a terrifically trippy season that'll play with notions of reality, eternity, and all of Fringe history as we know it. Do you see anything that hints at a resolution to last year's cliffhanger question: Did Peter Bishop eradicate himself from reality by traveling through time? Post your own oddball observations in the comments!

Fringe Summer Rewatch: #305 "Amber 31422"
Email Post 9/03/2011 02:44:00 AM Categories: Fringe, Season 3, Summer Rewatch
Join us for our Fringe Summer re-watch, where we review every episode of Fringe during the summer hiatus. Comments are welcome as we dig into the connections made over three seasons.
When Amber 31422 first aired, I remember the reception being shaky. However, I really enjoyed this episode and do not feel it is a “throwaway” episode in any way. In an overall story involving doppelgangers, the tale of identical twins made me think about the nature of what makes us who were are. Plus, the similarity in the twins-switch versus the switched Olivias was engaging. I really enjoyed the performances by real-life twins Shawn and Aaron Ashmore. I also appreciated one of the many callbacks seen in Fringe: Walking through walls was used to steal hidden objects from vaults belonging to Walter in the Season One episode, Safe.
Olivia was fully immersed into the life of her counterpart from Over There. Walternate had no problem in fooling Olivia in a quest to find out how she was able to safely cross into his universe. Of course, in his viewpoint, Olivia was an invader and enemy. Yet I found it difficult to feel sympathy for him because he also treated the Olivia from his own world as a pawn. His Olivia was sent blind into another world, with no knowledge of Waltenate’s intentions for that world - or for his son. However, she was eventually able to see just how wrong she was treated by Walternate. Walternate used both of the Olivias’ desires to be heroes to his advantage.
The Weight of the World
This episode showed some more of the consequences of Amber protocol, particularly the loss of many lives. Yet, there was a terrible secret that was kept from the public: Those trapped in Amber were not dead, merely in a state of suspended animation.
Walternate felt the loss of something precious. His son. He also described the first time he had to initiate the Amber protocol, and the date stuck out to me: October 17, 1989. The date of the earthquake in San Francisco, which in our world was important. In the episode August, the parents of Christine Hollis died in the earthquake. The observer August watched her all of her life, and he fell in love with her - he protected her with his very life.
Walternate told Broyles a statement that pretty much encapsulates his character:
Nature doesn't recognize good and evil, Phillip. Nature only recognizes balance and imbalance. I intend to restore balance to our world. Whatever it takes.
Unfortunately the true “balance” meant the survival of both worlds, as Peter came to find out before blinking to wherever he is - or isn’t…
While I truly can not feel complete sympathy for him, Walternate's heart-felt issues concerning the magnitude of Amber dispersal did show a soft side to the man. Truly, it would be awful to have to do terrible things to some families, so that the greater good could be accomplished. Walter would face some of these very hard facts in 6B when he had to grapple with the same reservations about using Amber as Walternate did. Even to the point of Ambering Olivia and Peter, if it came down to it.
How Far Would You Go?
Joshua Rose made a mistake and paid for it many years. But as he said, he never gave up. He wanted to do “one good thing,” so he made sure that he was trapped in Amber at the end, so that his brother could rejoin his family in peace. Danielle Rose had mentioned that Matthew had complete awareness the entire time he was trapped, and that his last fearful thought was stuck in his mind. At least in the end, it seemed Joshua was stuck in a thought of happiness for doing the right thing. Once again Fringe shows how far one would go for those he or she loves, and this is another example of “being a good man.”
Two People Who Look Exactly Alike
The key to projection Peter’s statement to Olivia concerning the Rose twins being comparable to her situation with her alternate is the word “Look.” He also brought up an example of two twins that Olivia knew in school, one being smarter than the other. In other words, same packaging, but different contents.
In the case of Joshua and Matthew, they may have been genetic copies, but otherwise were very different. Joshua exhibited a capability with technology whereas Matthew was an accountant.
It is a terrible thing to look like a killer. Joshua, posing as his brother Matthew, told Olivia and Lincoln:
JOSHUA ROSE: My-- my brother-- ripped families apart, okay? Mothers and husbands trapped in amber because of the crimes he committed. He'd know better than to contact me. Do you have any idea what it was like for me when Joshua's face started showing up on the news? I mean, every time I went to the market, to a movie, take my kids to Little League... people would look at me and see him.
OLIVIA: That must have been very difficult for you.
JOSHUA ROSE: You know, just because we look alike, it doesn't mean we have anything in common.
Walter spoke about Walternate in The Day We Died:
Imagine coming over here to try to save the world... only to be stuck here when your world was destroyed. Not to mention having the same face as the most reviled man in the universe.
When Olivia came back from the other side, she had to come face-to-face with the revelation that she was essentially replaced. She dallied back and forth thinking that her alternate was Peter’s preference. It really hurt when she told Nina Sharp, “She’s like me, but better.” Olivia discounted herself so much.
It must have been terrible for Danielle Rose to live with a man that looked exactly like her trapped husband. After all the time he was gone, they were able to pick-up where they left off, still very much in love.
For All Intents and Purposes?
The personality of our Olivia peaked through the attempt at making her just like her alternate.
- When she was investigating Joshua Rose’s apartment, she noticed the sound of leaking gas, but Lincoln and Charlie did not. Was this an example of acute hearing exhibited by Olivia in prior episodes?
- When Olivia figured out that Matthew was being played by his brother Joshua, she was very tenacious with Broyles. Very much like the Olivia Dunham we knew from the Pilot episode and the early part of season one. She simply would not take no for an answer. Alt-Astrid seemed taken aback by her relentless drive.
- She also exhibited the kindness that I love in Olivia. When she saw Matthew Rose’s son, she wrapped up her investigation, knowing full well what had really happened.
What is Real?
Projection Peter made another appearance, and explained to Olivia that pills would not make him go away. Olivia told him that he’s “not real,” to which he smiled. I’m fairly well-convinced that Olivia’s visions of Peter will have far more significance in season four. One of the lines in The Firefly seemed to be a bit of Peter being sarcastic with Walter but did this line mean more?
WALTER: Peter. You're up early.
PETER: Oh, no, I'm still asleep upstairs in my bed. You're just talking to an astral projection of me.
Unanswered Questions:
Did Lincoln Lee lose family/friends to an Amber quarantine?
Walternate mentioned to Broyles a breach in Harvard yard. Did this have anything to do with Walter in our universe?
Did the other Olivia receive a phone call from Rachel about the call with Ella? It is odd that nothing ever came from the sudden call drop due to Olivia crossing back Over There.
If Peter Was Removed From the Equation...
Olivia was Over There because of Peter. The events that caused the breaches in the universe may have still occurred without Peter. So, if Olivia wasn’t Over There…
Joshua Rose might have been able to avoid detection and avoided encasing himself in Amber if our Olivia was not on the case.
Charlie and Lincoln may have died in the blast at Joshua Rose’s apartment.

Fringe: Where is Peter Bishop?
Right here, folks! In this exclusive first-look at Fringe's Season 4 promo poster, fans finally get proof that the producers won't be playing games with our hearts by keeping Josh Jackson's recently evaporated character out in the ether for too long. In fact, as you can see from this Escher-meets-action ad, our boy is clearly back and seems poised for action alongside Liv, Walter and a lot of expectations when the show returns on Sept. 23 at 9/8c on Fox.
"This season we have earned [the right] for Peter to be more self-actualized," says executive producer Jeff Pinkner. "He's a huge component and key to the really big stuff we're [doing]."
Phew! So now that we know that, who has a theory about the fallen cubes imagery? And how excited are you for "Fringe Fridays" to fire up in three weeks?

Matt Webb Mitovich
Any speculation that life (lives?) on Fox’s Fringe will never be the same is confirmed by the brand-new key art for Season 4 — and TVLine has your first look at the conversation-starting imagery.
As seen below, the Season 4 poster features series leads Joshua Jackson, Anna Torv and John Noble, their characters’ worlds seemingly “shattered” by the events of the May finale, in which Peter joined the two universes with a portal room, only to then cease to exist. Oh and hey, there’s also a few Observers… observing.
More to the point, the poster promises a “New Beginning” for Peter, Olivia and Walter — and a storyline that enters “New Dimensions.” Check out the image (CLICK TO ZOOM), then share your latest expectations for the out-of-this-world-and-that-other-world drama, which returns Friday, Sept. 23, at 9/8c.

Fringe Summer Rewatch: #303 "The Plateau"
Email Post 9/01/2011 03:16:00 AM Categories: Fringe, Season 3, Summer Rewatch
Join us for our Fringe Summer re-watch, where we review every episode of Fringe during the summer hiatus. Comments are welcome as we dig into the connections made over three seasons.
I have often reread my progress reports and seen the illiteracy, the childish naivety, the mind of low intelligence peering from a dark room, through the keyhole, at the dazzling light outside. I see that even in my dullness I knew that I was inferior, and that other people had something I lacked - something denied me. In my mental blindness, I thought that it was somehow connected with the ability to read and write, and I was sure that if I could get those skills I would automatically have intelligence too.
Even a feeble-minded man wants to be like other men.

- Flowers For Algernon
The thing about Fringe is that every time I watch it again, I find things I missed before. Doesn't seem to matter how many times I've seen it, the ever expanding story adds new layers to all that's gone before, and re-watching inevitably uncovers some new connection that I never expected. The Plateau seemed fairly straightforward the first time I saw it, but having seen it several times since, I've found that I'm still making those connections – and I may never make them all.
In a nutshell, our story is that of Milo and Madeline (“sounds like a children's book.”) Milo was born severely mentally deficient, with a measured IQ of only 65, but his little sister adored him anyway. They liked the same cartoons, played the same games, and she looked after him when their parents were gone. But she worried for him, that he'd end up getting hurt, that he'd never be really happy. And so she tried to help him, with tragic consequences. The experimental neorotropic treatment she volunteered him for turned out to be far more effective than anyone had dreamed, and the once helplessly disabled boy became a super genius with a mind capable of impossible calculations, literally overnight. Much like Charlie Gordon, Milo enjoyed his new intelligence, dazzled at the bright new light shining into his once dim world. But unlike Charlie, Milo's stunning IQ wasn't going to revert on it's own; it was to be taken from him. And Milo resorted to murder in order to keep it.
The irony of the situation is that Milo was now intelligent enough to murder and almost certainly get away with it – if he'd simply killed his victims and dumped their bodies he most likely would never have been caught. It was the arrogance that accompanied his new brain, driving him to kill in the most impossible way, that caught the attention of Fringe division and led to his eventual capture.
But enough about Milo the evil genius, we're in this because of Olivia, and the alternate Fringe team that's begun to really grow on us by now.
After her traumatic but (apparently) successful brainwashing in her last episode, Olivia is now back at work, secure in her identity – at least on the surface of her mind. She slips with deceptive ease back into the rhythm of her alternate's life, falling into the easy banter that makes the OT Fringe team so much fun to watch. It is so good to see Charlie again.
But her “re”-intergration into her other's working life isn't as simple as it first appears. Broyles, who knows the score very well, is troubled by the deception, worried about his own Agent Dunham, and not at all comfortable with Secretary Bishop's assertion that if her new identity doesn't hold OurLivia will “no longer be necessary.” And Charlie's long friendship with his Olivia is definitely causing him to pick up on a new strangeness. He's suspicious, remembering her desperate assertions that someone was trying to make her believe she was someone else, knowing she has a doppelganger from another world. But she passes his memory test, and when Lincoln dismisses his concern as “nuts” he reluctantly lets it go, for now.
As for Olivia, she's hallucinating people she's never met. Except that one of them is telling her that she has, that she's not from here, that she can't forget who she is, can't forget this. And even though she can't possibly know the man in the pea coat, this is a kiss that makes her ache to remember it, even if it never really happened.
And that, to me, sounds like a potential road map for the beginning of season four.
Parallels:
"We all get really good at pretending that the loneliness isn't there and then something comes along to remind us. I know what it's like to have a hole in my life. It's been there as long as I can remember."
Here she is, popping pills to try to bury the feeling that something is not right here, something is in fact very very wrong. But the pills aren't helping, the feeling won't go away, and Pea Coat Guy, who she knows is Peter Bishop, except that that's impossible, the Bishop kid was kidnapped and probably murdered twenty-six years ago - he won't go away either. He comes to her when she's alone, and sometimes when she's not; smiling at her with warm affection, laughing at her stubbornness, kissing her...
She should want him to vanish forever, but she can't. Because somehow he feels truer than all the things she knows to be true.
Personally, given the quote above, I think the first few episodes of season four are likely to be quite similar in emotional tone, if not in content. Of course that's purely my own speculation. ;)
Another parallel I just picked up on this time around: Lincoln, like Peter, dismisses the oddness in the woman he loves. Even when Charlie confronts him directly with his suspicions, Lincoln considers only briefly before laughing it off as crazy talk, even making fun of Charlie for getting bamboozled by a doppelganger. All of the hints, Charlie's concerns, even his own personal experience with Olivia's ravings, and he still can't seriously entertain the notion that Olivia is not Olivia. Both of them, blinded by love.
And finally in the correlation department, Milo exhibits abilities uncannily like those of the Observers. He's able to do that creepy mind-reading thing, finishing Madeline's sentences for her at every turn. Milo believes he can do this because he can see the most probable outcome of any interaction with his sister, or indeed with anyone. And he can certainly see a million possible outcomes to any given situation, and deduce which one is most mathematically likely to occur. It's not exactly the same thing, but the similarities are close enough to be eerie.
Random observations:
Walternate: "Over time, she will reach a plateau and her new identity will become fixed." And so I believe it does by the end of this episode, except that it's not the new identity that becomes fixed. The Peter Who Wasn't There made sure of that.
"Even a feeble-minded man wants to be like other men" But Milo became something more, or arguably, less, than a man. He consciously chose to reject his humanity in favor of his intelligence, looking Madeline in the eye for the last time before telling her “that's irrelevant now,” in response to her pleading assertion that his family always loved him. And by the end of the episode, he's completely lost to her. Even a feeble-minded man is capable of love. Milo no longer is. I would argue that Charlie Gordon was by far the more fortunate of the two.
“I'm still a scientist Brandon, I just have a much larger laboratory.” - Secretary Bishop
“They're calling these events The Pattern, as if someone out there is experimenting, only the whole world is their lab.” - Agent Broyles
People Over There are well aware of Fringe Division, and they're afraid of them. The receptionist at the hospital immediately asks if they're being quarantined.
Olivia hallucinates Walter giving her the sweetest smile in the hospital, possibly because it reminds her of a mental institution. Subconsciously, she misses him too.
Olivia's hair quite noticeably changes colors throughout the episode. In her first scene at fringe division it's entirely red. In the next scene, investigating the first bus accident it's got the beginnings of blonde
streaks - just in time for her to see Peter across the street. And the blonde streaks are even more evident after she hallucinates her Walter at the hospital. It doesn't stay streaky the whole time though. Maybe it's just the lighting, or maybe it's a visual indicator of the two sets of memories warring inside her.
Easter Eggs:
The clock in Frank and Olivia's apartment reads 8:15 when they're about to have dinner. There's a sign in the background at the third bus accident that reads “Oceanic Plaza.”
There are Tinker Toys in Milo and Madeline's house, a visual throwback to Earthling, where Walter built a molecular model of the ET/Vasiliev entanglement.
There's a leaf on the lampshade in their house as well. And a collage of red, yellow and blue butterflies and tulips on the wall. One of the Tulips is white.
Unanswered questions:
Did Bolivia ever really love Frank? Ostensibly, she slept with Peter as part of her cover, but she readily, and I believe honestly admitted later that it became “something more.” I believe she did love Peter, at least a little, but if she loved Frank, would she have been able to cross that line in the first place? In The Plateau, Ourlivia was adamant that she didn't want Frank to stay, and he was more than a little stung. She also quickly changed the subject when he said that he loved her. Her own personality showing through? Or Bolivia's real feelings?
Would Bolivia recognize that Milo was reciting the digits of Pi?
The Walternate quote above recalls first season references to ZFT and The Pattern. Did those story lines get dropped, or were some of those early cases related to Walternate's war with our side?
If Peter Bishop didn't exist:
Milo, his tragic experiment, and his murder spree would have likely still taken place, but Ourlivia would almost certainly have never crossed over, and the two would have never been switched. Instead, Bolivia would most likely have been killed exactly the way Milo predicted she would. Walternate might still have been seeking to cross over, but it's unlikely he would have had Ourliv to use as a Guinea pig.
