Cars lost power and a plane crashed. Fringe went to investigate. Walter realized that the cars were now magnitized. They went into town and are now stuck there.



Thanks. Good summation. I think I can follow along now.


:bolian:

Also, the episode began with Peter and Olivia in bed, not unlike Peter's dream in the kitchen from a previous episode. Except it wasn't Peter's dream this time, it was Olivia's.
 
Hey, it's like that TNG episode where Beverly Crusher was trapped in the collapsing warp bubble. Someone call the Traveller ASAP!
 
Ooooh...Twilight Zone-type episode. Like a time loop or something.

I laughed pretty hard with the "I haven't been allowed to drive since I left the mental institution."

We're never going to return to the proper Fringe universe, are we?

Reminds me of a short story I once wrote about a Scientist who created a singularity in Pittsburg, causing space-time in a 10 mile radius to become disconnected from the rest of the universe and curve back on itself so that if you drove past the edge you would reappear on the other side. I called it 2 Pi. And Pie played a role in it as well. Only, in my story, the pie was cherry pie. :)

It seems to me one of the anthology shows Outer Limits/Twilight Zone or the like had a show where there was a small town diner and no matter which way you left you ended up back at the diner but I can't seem to find it with a cursory google search.

I think that was a Zone, it may have been one of the two that featured William Shatner.
 
Shatner didn't want to leave the diner since he was getting prophecies from the fortune telling machine.

Shat had the plane and the fortune teller machine that I recall.

Right. The fortune teller machine in the diner kept predicting doom and gloom. But it wasn't keeping him there by mysterious means.

It's driving me crazy, I remember this one where a guy would try to go away and every road would lead back to where he started.
 
Perhaps the catalyst to Peter finding his way back is the way Walter is beginning to respond to Peter, just as the original Walter did.
 
Peter going for the Oliva trifecta!

Strong ending with the town destroyed and that. I wish this world would merge with the Fringe proper one and get us back to normal.

I vaguely remember this too, which is what makes me think it was a TZ and not OL. I'll have to see if I still have my copy of the TZ Companion and try to figure it out from that.
