Even in Season 3, having Juliet know Latin and demonstrate some fairly kick-ass fighting ability still seems vaguely supernatural. We never learn why she could do those things. I imagine, though, that the longer one stays on the Island, the stronger they get.

I'd say season 2 was Fringe's best, probably. I liked what they tried to do with the final season but it didn't play as well as I would've liked it to.

I see what you did, there.

Erp. Sorry about the formatting gaffe.

Since the frozen donkey wheel is tied to the spacetime shifting aspects
of the island, perhaps the chamber it's in does not correspond closely
to "actual" time on the island. This version of MIB could then be one
which already encountered Christian's body and taken his form. In any
event, the reason he took…

Yeah, that was one of the toughest moments to watch in the entire series.
