He didn't even count the grains of rice that fell out of those Chinese food boxes earlier.

I'm thinkin' she's going to see a "ghost" from the other side that mucks up his calculations...



ETA:

The "ghost of lack of knowledge" it seems...

That was the first time my attention has ever wandered while watching this show... Just bored me to tears.

Haha. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Simple fact of the matter: They haven't really pushed the story of the two worlds at all. Each is stuck in it's own internal struggles, although that would work in another setting, they didn't set up this season that way.

Well... I was just spitballin' - No offense intended. To me it was more a reference to a "quick fix" of mental stimulation through Walter's weirdness combined with family dynamic. They are setting up a somewhat similar level of "deep understanding" between Olivia and Alt-Charlie on the flipside.

I was thinking to myself that I was fine with this pacing within the framework of an hourly TV show... but I couldn't stand it for a theatrical movie release (probably why I could never finish Casino in one sitting ).

It's just a good dynamic for the show, and walter is a great character, he deserves the screen time.

I will say that I really like both Charlie and the Burned Guy. Good characters, one of which will obviously die. Poor Charlie. Has anyone ever died twice on a show?

I'm really liking the "other side" episodes more and more. I agree Walter and Peter make the show but Torv has stepped it up as Olivia this season.

There hasn't been much overarching plot development so far, but each episode has had a few tidbits dealing with the our world vs. their world war. I'm thinkin prolly 3-4 more standalone-ish episodes before we see any major developments (ie. charlie and co. figuring out it's our Olivia or Feaux-livia gettin discovered).

I think they are losing a lot of loyal watchers with the whole jumping back and forth thing. They need to get all of this settled and find a 3rd or 4th reality
