    When not hiding people we use this to drive in the carpool lane.

    That monitor is probably showing psychedelic patterns if they observed Walter's thought patterns.

    And apropos of nothing Anna Torv is looking really good tonight.

    The last glyph is E.

    So it's SENSE.

    So Michael, the actor, got some time off from Evita to film some scenes.

    OK, guess I was wrong then. I thought for sure the kid was September.

    3 weeks?! BAH!

    Excellent episode...fantastic work done agian by John Noble when seeing Nina and at the end. Would have been kind of funny if he had slipped on Nina's blood when he was running over to her.

    Why Noble hasn't won an Emmy is beyond me.

    Michael posted on FB that he was going to miss a few performances early this month. Wonder if it was to film Fringe?

    I voted 'Excellent'; this was really good stuff tonight.

    Sad to think it all ends in just three eps.

    And with that, I'm outta here folks. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

    Damn, that was September? I was wondering who that guy was. I thought that I had missed an episode somewhere.

    That was a great episode that kick things into high gear for the final three episodes of the season.

    Nina's death was tragic but a heroic sacrifice befitting who she is as a person. Joshua, Anna, and John played their characters' reactions to the tragedy perfectly.

    Farewell, Nina. You were one of the best and I enjoyed your verbal smackdown of Widmark very much. You go, girl.

    Walter seems to be embracing more of his old personality to Peter's displeasure. I find it interesting that Peter is trying to pull Walter from the brink like Walter was trying to do when Peter had the Observer tech in his head. I'm on the edge of my seat over how this storyline will end for Walter, especially when Nina isn't around to remove the pieces of brain from Walter's mind that are the source of the regression.

    The explanation about the Observer boy's existence makes sense. I never bought the theory that the Observer boy was September. But I'm glad my theory about September being the mysterious Donald was proven. Now I want to know how September went from being an Observer to a human, at least on the outside.

    When Olivia mentioned in the promo that the plan aganist the Observer would result in the resetting of time, that made sense to me. It would undo the severe damage the Observers have inflicted on Earth through their invasion and their oppressive rule. But if time does reset, will we see Etta alive and well again as a child being raised by Peter and Olivia? That would be a lovely ending.

    I don't know, it's still possible. Wouldn't just be Fringy for September, Donald, and the Boy be the same guy at different points in time? ;)

    Maybe they're going to go out like TNG.

    The episode didn't do anything for me, nothing really shocking, didn't feel like it added enough to the story.

    And I'm sick of this "let's find the pieces", screw that, let's move on, time is running out.
