Fringe: "Over There, Part 2" 5/20/10 - Grading & Discussion

[sidious618]

I hate to say it but I was underwhelmed. After such a great setup this really felt "by the numbers" to me. I guessed as soon as the street scene occurred that there'd be the switch between the two Olivias. As anyone who has kept an eye on my various avatars knows that I love Olivia and I really enjoyed her parts but overall it left me cold.

Although, I think anyone who thought Anna Torv was a bad actress should be reconsidering that opinion after this one.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

I'm still confused as to when the switch took place?! Did they snatch her in the street? There was a lot of weather mumbo jumbo taking up half the screen the entire ep.

We briefly saw alt-Livia just before we saw Bell recover from the grenade.

OK - the glpyhs translated to W E I S S.
Any ideas on what that means?

Greg Grenberg will reprise his alias character?

Well, he is now available to be on another series.

 

[Starbreaker]

I'm hoping that Scarlie stick around for a few episodes.

 

[bigdaddy]

I really enjoyed the episode until the last 10 minutes when I almost yelled at my screen for doing the lamest sci-fi cliche they could have done.

Bowling alley guy is Sam Weiss.

He joined the cast of Love Bites.

I thought it was 'excellent'... Although the ending lack the OOMPH/WTF of the last season finale. Still great.

I'm looking forward to next season. I bet the Alt-Liv will like this universe more than she expects... It would be nice to get a few episodes in the alt-universe as well.

I was checking another board and they were wondering about what was written on chalkboard in the lab Bell and Walter were in. It was "A DEMON'S TWIST RUSTS", and someone figured that it was an anagram that translated to "Don't trust Sam Weiss".

 

[Aragorn]

Since Bell was sacrificing himself, was anyone waiting for him to tell Walter, "I have been and always will be your friend"?

I wonder if Smallville on the other side is a smarty-written show.

I noticed that. Thats the weirdest difference in the alt verse. :P

 

[Checkmate]

I thought they needed psychic Olivia to get back (even with the 'doorstop'). I seriously doubt the evil goatee version went through the same drug treatments as a child.

 

[spinnerlys]

The switch was obvious from the moment Walternate phoned Broyles and Dunham on the street. It's a nice twist, but it will probably be resolved in the first half of the next season.

Btw, WEISS could be German for WHITE.

 

[Aragorn]

Here's a scene between Peter and Walternate in a car. It's basically a Ford commercial and the bluescreen driving scenery isn't that great, so I don't know if it was ever meant to be in the episode.

 

[scnj]

Check the carpet first!

Okay, it's really bugging me now. I'm sure I recognise your avatar from somewhere. What's it from?

 

[Icemizer]

Aunt Liv can you read me my favorite bedtime story?
Which one is your favorite?
Your not Aunt Liv!!!!!!

Could anyone else make out all the other Alter-comics on the wall?
Not a bad final but I saw the switch coming the minute Olivia changed her hair color. I would probably let that go undiscovered for at least half the season next year.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

I enjoyed the ep but kind of expected better.

 

[Forbin]

Does JJ Abrams have to do this dopplganger-switch thing in every one of his series?

 

[Aragorn]

Fox put up pics from the other side, including the four comic book covers.
