my comments on the next 3 episodes up for discussion

#10 very good episode and we finally start to get into things that MATTER on the show for the long run. DRJ as I have said before plays a large role in the show much later in the season. Even after he is killed they have to fight him again later. I'll leave out more details so that people who haven't seen the show won't be to spoiled, but people who have watched it know exactly what I'm talking about. It was a very good episode to IMO and focused around a plot line developing throughout multiple espiodes instead of just focusing on one plot line with only minor connections to other episodes.

#11 is the same way it builds off the last episode where Oliva is captured.

Now here we can begin some discussion, I'm not sure if it is made clear but do you think that they were putting cortexiphan in her for latter plans. If you remember part of DRJ more extensive plan was to tap into Olivia's abilities given to her by cortexiphan. It seems the effects of cortexiphan aren't as effective if not none at all if they go long periods of time without using it. Now I'm not sure how long it stays around if not for all time, but my guess is that DRJ is giving Olivia cortexiphan to "activate" her for his bigger plans

also the guy auditing fringe is an A-hole, he seems like a mole but I can't remember.

#12 like many times in season 1 they break off from the developing plot that will have an impact on the rest of the show. It was a decent episode but could have been better.

I'm guessing now that #10 and #11 have a big impact on the show through multiple seasons I'm guessing discussion will pick up some. (I hope)

No worries...post that shite. The newbies have been warned several times already.

Yeah this batch of episodes seemed to do that a good bit. I like that.

I don't remember what they were doing to her exactly. The whole "We were saving you" thing was a cool twist, but I don't remember exactly what context that was in. I do remember that Walter did experiments on the kids with the cortexiphan and that Liv was one of those, so I'm not sure if that's what they were doing when she was kidnapped or not.

Also, in episode 10 we hear Walter talk about the machine that crosses dimensions...is he lying to Peter about being sick and recovering since we later find out that he crossed over and stole "other Peter"? Or is that sort of a plot hole because it was early in season one and they sort of went a different direction later?

Also, I remember vividly that episode where RDJ escapes the prison and how cool that was. Just as cool the second time around too.

I hope so too. So far, about half the people who wanted to participate aren't doing so...the discussion has been a little slow. That's partly due to the show, but still..

DRJ was killed when crossing universes if I remember correctly. Than when the timeline was altered because peter was wiped clean DRJ wasn't killed so in the altered timeline he came back.

she called it a spinal tap, but other than that they didn't say what it was I'm guessing cortexiphan.

yes liv was one of them and I think was one of the more successful ones. but when they go to the other universe they enlisted other courtexiphan subjects to help them because their combined presence increased power and allowed them to go over. I don't remember if they gave them cortexiphan.

I remember them talking about going into the past and grabbing some scientist I don't remember them talking bout dimensions. If you can find where it was give me a time stamp.

I think this may have been a lie but IDK. Walter did so many crazy experiments

He tells Peter "you were sick but you got better."

Well, don't we know that's not true, because we later find out that this Peter died and Walter skipped timelines and stole the other Peter from Walternate?

I hate to keep asking questions about future stuff in here, but it seems the most appropriate place.

Four episodes into season 3 right now, how long is Olivia going to be stuck in the other universe? I loved season 2, but right now I'm not digging season 3 as much with the way its started. It seems like she could be back soon, but I guess just hoping the whole season doesn't keep going showing one universe and switching the next episode.

ETA: I guess this is just kinda a curiosity thing for me, and I'll probably keep watching anyway

the way I remember it is that Walternate solved the formula to save alternate peter. For some reason Walter couldn't do it himself or it was alternate peter had already died. So Walter to save alternate peter created a hole between the universes to get peter, he was going to cure him than bring him back to the other universe, of course that never happened.

If you remember there were many things Walter kept on saying that peter use to like but I think for all those years in the mental institution and the simple fact that it was 20+ years ago, Walter confused peter and alternate peter's likes and dislikes, which to me would verify the story.

now I don't think this is true but I can't remember if alternate peter was sick or not but I'm pretty sure he was.

This will be discussed in a later thread, but this just came to mind september (our friendly observer) distracted walternate from discovering his cure, which in turn caused walter to open the hole which in turn caused peter to fall below the ice which in turn caused all the crap that happened from that time forward. If my memory serves me correctly it was septembers interaction with walternate which is the cause for all the chaos in the first place, which then may explain why the observers got so involved later in the series. I would flesh this out more but I want to see more episodes before I do this. But There may be an underlying plot to all of this that I just now realized. Fringe is pretty much septembers master plan to change the observers and bring emotion back into the human race. Maybe I'm stretching this to far but I think it makes sense with this realization. Now if someone else distracted walternate and it wasn't september that that is thrown out the window.

Alright cool. I'm assuming I have to be getting close because the last two episodes showed Olivia in the other universe seeing Peter and Walter in her head and remembering where she's actually from and Peter in the real world saying that he's noticed Olivia is different.

Though it pissed me off that the first time Peter gets with Olivia it's the alternate one

it is true. Walter did "steal" the other Peter, but he was sick as well and still dying. Walter-nate missed the cure so Walter had to cross to save him.

So he wasnt lying. Peter was sick and got better, thanks to Walter crossing and taking him in order to cure him
