I still like Samurai's idea from last week that Walter freaks out every time he sees 'Dawson's Creek' on TV.
LOL. I WISH they would do something like that.

If it was there, it was a very subtle thing. And subtley is always appreciated.
Great episode. Loved the premise and the guest acting by Fergunson (I think that was the actor's last name) and Torv was top-notch.
I must admit, her acting has improved considerably from Season 1, when she came off as being bland as unbuttered toast. I have to admit I find her far more entertaining as Bitchlivia. Still, I don't think Torv has the chops to carry the series without Jackson to work off of... They need to resolve this bone-headed, warped version of reality and find a way to get Peter back into the mix and then explain how he existed, then didn't, then comes back but no one knows him.
I gave this one a 'Better Than Last Week'. It was decent, but no where near the caliber of S2's 'Peter', which is the standard to rate all other Fringe eps.
Next looks to be another weird murder case, and not something that propels the overall arc forward... Then again FOX promos are often quite misleading.
Still, this show is far better than Terra Nova was.

Tonight's episode was okay. I like the bit about one man having something in his life that kept him from being the serial killer his alternate double became. I like that Peter's haunting of Walt has grown from images to his voice calling out to him. I just hope there's more progression on this front in the next few episodes. I really want Peter back.
"Have you thought your type doesn't exist?" How very arch of them.
This episode was partly about John Pyper-Ferguson, who made it better than last week's but it was still poor. Expecting us to indignate with Her Gloriousness over being impersonated after we saw her child messed with, is just messed up.
As I recall, Olivia didn't kill her father, but merely shot him. Then the insufferable bastard had the gall to write her notes on her birthdays threatening to visit. I suppose this somehow has something to do with Peter's nonexistence. But plainly something that throws Miss Center of the Universe's world awry must be put to rights by Peter's return.
There will be no coherent explanation of the paradox, nor will there be a coherent explanation of Peter's return. If Peter does not come back as Walter's son, we are left with Walternate and a crazy old dude with no human connection.
The only bright spot is Lincoln. I guess he's cheaper than Blair Brown, who may never be seen again.

Broyles is alive??? on the other side ???
Olivia sed that was kidnaped so that means that the story should be the same as the Peter version of the universe
Too many lose ends like that episode when Olivia's partener was alive afther he died at the heand of a shape shifter (then the excuse was that it was an erly unaered episod from the previous series bun now )
Personaly i'm loseing interest if they go on with mistakes like this - atleast they coud have give a explication in one of the dialogs

I love Fringe, but this was too boilerplate, and not involving on a Dexter or Breaking Bad level. Filler at best. 
^ Blair Brown is in the current season 4 cast photo.
Oh, on the 99c gas. Maybe Earth-2 uses the metric system and the price is in litres? But really that's probably just a Canada-ism that sunk in from Vancouver.

Yep, an observer was visible at the end, when Broyles talks about soul imprints and the camera cuts from Broyles to Olivia.
She is also in the credits.

I do too. As much as I like Kennedy-Lincoln, his presence does not replace the void left by Jackson not being on the show (save for his ethereal appearances). I'm still not sure how they're going to pull it off and have it all make sense, but I guess this is a start:
Despite the exact wording that September used in the finale last year, Peter did in fact, exist in both universes; John Noble has confirmed in an interview that both versions of Peter died as children. He simply never became an adult in either reality.
No it doesn't. In fact, that version of events was necessarily completely different, because Olivia didn't go to Earth 2 to rescue Peter; instead, it sounded like she was deliberately abducted.
Er, that's not a loose end, that's an episode being aired out of order. And that was two season ago.

Knew it!
I look at limbi everyday, as "limbus" is also used to describe the region at the edge of the cornea where it meets the white of the eye.

I figured that definition probably didn't have much to do with Fringe.

More's the pity.
Weirdness of the week is what I like. Overall mythology hangs in the background where it belongs, with occasional revelations and a few episodes devoted to it here and there.
The big alien conspiracy arc in X-Files was tiresome and aimless. I much preferred the freak of the week shows back then too.
