The Moments and People that Define a Life
“Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe, so no thought or action is without its effects, present or ultimate, seen or unseen, felt or unfelt.” - Norman Cousins
It is amazing:
How one night can change and define the course of a life.
How one person can make such a large difference to the lives of many.
How the Fringe world has changed.
As this episode opened, a man was viewing a picture as another spoke to him. Pictures play an important role throughout the series. They are visual reminders of the past, good or bad, and of people that we love or not… In any case, they are the footprints of influence on life’s journey. What happens when the footprints of another are erased from the sands of time? Even if they’re not visible, are there still remnants that always reside in the soul?
In typical
Fringe style, there are many callbacks for this scene:
In the episode
Dream Logic, Dr. Nayak tapped into the dreams of his patients in order to receive an intense high.
Also, there are some serious elements from
Grey Matters. Recall the scene in which the shapeshifter Newton interrogated Walter in order to map his neural pathways. Newton was looking for specific memories so that he could locate Walter’s doorway that he built between the two universes.
Here, the killer taps into the specific and happy memories of his victims, in order to receive a similar effect that Nayak sought.
Our Fringe Division was called upon to assist with this case. Olivia’s look to Broyles as she reviewed the Over There Olivia’s file, was one of disbelief. It seemed to say, “Sure, I’ve Noooo problem working with a woman that kidnapped me and stole my life.”
