And
Those We Left Behind
The
Peter Paradox: Constant or Wild Card?
Hearkening
back to Season Two's, 'White
Tulip',
'And
Those We Left Behind(ATWLB)',
is outwardly a high concept SF time travel episode. Both episodes
Trojan Horse'd time travel elements to explore very human conditions which is when Fringe is at its best.
And both
episodes are stories about lost loves.
With
'Novation'
inserting Peter gingerly back into the altered time line, this week's
episode expands on the implications and possible pitfalls of his
return. Opening with a perfect day dream sequence we see Peter,
wedding band visible, with Olivia and the swing setting Walter in a
park. It is naturally all too perfect and ends on an ominous note
with Olivia telling Peter there is a problem.
