An Origin Story

So this is the beginning of the whole portal thing that is so important in the finale. Nice.


Walter calling Astrid Abner. That's a new one.

So dude tells Liv he's sorry for her loss and goes on to talk about how great of a person Etta was and all that she did for everything, and Liv just nods at him and walks away? Try to be nice for frick's sake, Liv.

Hey, Liv...I think your daughter was awesome and she did so much for our cause and humanity in general..



Hey, Liv...what time is it?



Hey, Liv...you just won the lottery. Congrats.



Hey, Liv...you are so pretty and sexy. Wuold you like to go out with me some time?





But for good measure, here is a pic of Anna Torv that I found that I love:



Great plan and all, but unless they destroy the whole future universe/Observers, it won't do any good since with time travel, they can always come back to this exact same point and in the present, they never miss a beat.

Okay, so they are talking antimatter to create a black hole on the other end of the portal. I don't get that at all (wouldn't it frick up the current world as well??) but whatever, I can roll with it. But then they say "It could take YEARS for them to rebuild." Wait, what? Wouldn't a black fricking hole destroy everything on that end, to the point where there wouldn't be anything to rebuild? Maybe I am stupid, but I don't understand the science logic behind any of this at all. I even get Walter's little demonstration, but why wouldn't that happen at both ends of the portal?



If I remember right, this Observer is right and Peter is wrong and sort of getting played..

Speaking of that, Peter going all rogue is sort of annoying. He's way off the map.

And him putting that piece of tech into his neck without talking to anyone is dangerous and stupid. At the very least, he should've consulted with Walter since he's you know, the smartest dude on the planet basically.



Through the Looking Glass and What Walter Found There


Wait, Liv took the monorail to that apartment? Why in the frick are they using public transportation at this point? They've literally walked into government (or whatever you call the Observer society) buildings and gotten in shootouts. Surely they have to be showing up at or near the top of some most wanted lists..

"Peter, when you feel like this, I want you to include me." Um, what the hell, Liv? You're only the most emotionless person ever (see above conversation I had with her), yet you are demanding shite like this from Peter? Weird.

I can't find anything on Fringepedia (pr pics of the buildings) about whether or not this 167 Cedar St. building is the same one as from several episodes in the past like I've mentioned before. Oh well..

Okay, so this scene shows us that at the very least Walter is a wanted man. Surely Liv and Peter have to be as well, especially considering their level of threat (not just the shootouts, but the fact that they are the old Fringe team of human lore that plagued the Observers so much in the past).

Aaaaaand, here comes the Walter two step...which is completely unnecessary. Just stand in the right spot and take a step, brah.



This pocket universe is pretty creepy.



And I feel like I remember this dude in there being almost completely worthless to the plot.



Peter sure as hell is pretty judgmental against Walter with all the "What was he thinking??" talk considering he performed fricking mirror surgery on himself to bury Observer tech into his spine.

I forgot about the door symbols and how they made the commercial break glyphs sort of relevant. Pretty cool.



See, Walter...others can just stand in the right spot and waltz on through the portal sans dance.

This Peter/Observer fight scene is pretty sweet. Peter going all neo on this dude.

Peter to Walter: "I promise, dad."



So now Peter is in the Matrix. IIRC, doesn't he go all billy badass and start kicking more Observer arse?
