| Nina is going to fix Olive. |
This episode was definitely low-key, as the focus was shifted to Olivia facing her fate, in the aftermath of the bald man's warning of her impending demise.
What it did was to give her another new layer. She is within character as she tries to hide her pain (migraines) and concerns from all the people who care about her. We have Olivia taking control of her destiny. Despite knowing that the observer
experienced the future where she has to die, she may not die at all. She may even save herself. That's why this is science fiction. Besides if William Bell can cheat death once...
Nothing is written in stone.
We don't have to die today.
Emily Mallum has a precognitive ability that allows her to predict death. She uses her natural gift to warn people, even if she had not been able to prevent the inevitable from happening. The closest analogy to the previous season is The Ghost Network. No matter what the science was used to explain how she can see the future, like Roy McComb, she was a receiver for such echoes in time.
Not all of the gadgets and references, from the past, worked for me, even after the second time I watched it. It was just not necessary. The plot hole here was with Albert Duncan. If his anger was directed only at the judge, then having the larger yield explosive was overkill.
Random Thoughts...
Do you recognize the throw pillows in the above image? They once belonged in the alternate universe Dunham apartment.
Nina Sharp was going to cook with her gloves on. I like to see her handle the ingredients like that.
Not only does Phillip Broyles know everything. He tells Nina everything he knows. Are those two still intimate?
A mention of
first people was not used in the same context.
A
lake house also represented happier times.
Emily's last drawing in the park, had Olivia looking on like an observer. The scene is somewhat different than the previous images as the subjects depicted did not all die.
An observer standing outside Olivia's apartment at a key moment in time. Any guesses what that maybe? I think Nina is going to enhance her.
Massive Dynamic is the likely 'we' Broyles said who was tracking for the strange bald me. Doesn't seem like something the FBI would commit their resources to without just cause. And it wouldn't be just for the last three years, with the numerous sightings.
Peter has already arrived at the conclusion that it will not work for him. Don't have enough facts to even wonder about this.
