Decent enough episode.

They struck out on a lot of cool stuff this season though.

I think they "dummied it down" a little along with the move to Friday.


Either that or they are "speeding things up" - which saddens me.

Although it was cheesy, it was kinda cool when they showed that William Bell had a Dr. Spock book. I keep thinking he'll show up again somewhere......

Agreed it's dumbed down a little though...

Man I had high hopes going into this season but after last few episodes I am not sure what to think. It doesn't feel the same for me

I am always highly amused by serious/sincere fictional representations where everyday usage of "ultra-modern dirigibles" is the norm.

Now we're set up to see what the baby daddy decides to do. They also make Walternate appear more likable with the lines he wouldn't cross. Reminds me some of how the characters on Lost were not clearly good or bad.

OK... Is it just me, or did it seem kind of vague regarding whether Feauxlivia travelling home +1 was part of her mission... or something that "just kinda happened" :confused

Walternate and "can't keep a secret" guy were responding oddly to various situations involving Feauxlivia's decisions on the home front.

I don't believe the pregnancy was part of the plan. And they are reacting oddly to Feauxlivia because she is behaving a little differently as her time with Peter on this side changed her some.

Isn't it a bit odd how Feauxlivia was made out to be this mean evil character in our universe, but a likable sincere character in the alt?

Like I said earlier this follows the pattern Abrams had in Lost of characters not being clearly good or bad. I just hope the alternate universe isn't really purgatory

I'm making this thread my "Marionette" - Dragging it up and giving it "life" so it may dance for my amusement.













Anybody else watchin' tonight?

FWIW - I hate the direction this particular arc is taking. Anna Torv sounds like she's channeling Grover from Sesame Street.





Now if Peter somehow finds himself MORE attracted to her now....

Yeah - Once I got used to the silly voice, I enjoyed it too.
