Seriously, how hasn't John Noble not been nominated and/or won an Emmy?

That's probably the biggest unanswered question in Fringe. It makes no sense to me either.

It seems in any universe that Charlotte is manipulative

This universe's Olivia was treated with cortexiphan via evil!Nina by DRJ--well, by Belly, I guess. But Olivia DID go through the cortexiphan trials as a kid, becuase she was talking with the guy from last week. So was Nina's dosing what it took to bring out these additional powers?

Compared to the mummified look in JJTrek he looked actually rather great for his age.

They went overboard on the grey for spock with the eyebrows and wig

William Bell looks like those 80 year old's who still dye their hair jet black(you're not fooling anyone!)

I don't understand it either; it's the biggest oversight the Emmy's have made IMO. I refuse to watch the Emmy's until Fringe is nominated.

Despite the grey makeup Nimoy definitely looks younger from the 09 movie. He's starting to get that frail skeletal look of the very old. I fear he won't be with us for many more years.

meh... I gave it average.

Fringe is not doing well lately, this was not impressive. They are truly throwing crap at the wall and seeing what sticks. First the Observers as crap villains, and now...

- William Bell? Eh no... While he certainly had villainous tendencies due to lack of morals boundaries - this was just one step too far I think. Bleh.
- And then to have Fringe's ACTUAL best villain, David Robert Jones, die a punk death as a henchman of Bell. Ugh no.
- And then they felt they had to give Astrid an action scene. And a potentially mortal wound, although she will probably live. Ugh no.

This definitely felt like an "OMG we are going to be cancelled, lets go out BIG" episode. But it failed. And now they got renewed. Oops.

No, I was NOT a fan of this. Some great scenes, but I should have given it a worse than average grade, now that I think of it.

Wrong thread? Ever heard of a DVR? I didn't see the episode until last night.

Apologies, it seemed that some of your comments referred to the season finale.
