That's the thing, we knew it happened in *a* version of events, but did we know it happened in *this* one before now? I'm not sure we did. This timeline is a conflation of what, two or three? And the writers are cherry-picking what they like from each universe, it seems. I don't even know how the characters are…

I hadn't even realized how sidelined Olivia has been this season until I saw a comment to that effect on here last week. It's ASTOUNDING. She's been almost entirely passive, with nothing to do but mourn quietly…and she was the LEAD last time I checked. Did Anna Torv piss someone off?

I don't know how I'd rate it, but it does pale in comparison to the previous episode, for me.

Like you, I'm happy to see that storyline progress, and I have no desire to see…

I like Etta a lot. I instantly warmed to the actress and I do think that the way that the character has been set up allows for some promising drama, I just think it would be unfortunate if a character introduced so late in the game became pivotal in the final season at the expense of what I consider to be the backbone…

The one thing that worries me about this final season of Fringe is that we seem to have completely moved past the relationship between Walter and Peter that has been so central to the show.
