Last nights Fringe was a revelation of sorts. Walternate IS evil. Our Walter is not. FauxLivia is just a babymama, OurLIVIA will save the world. Yeah, I am getting way ahead of myself here, but bare with me... in time, I shall make perfect sense.
So it seems that OurLivia has been trippin' the light fantastic for some time now. How she blacked out on the whole experience remains to be seen, considering Walter Bishop had a soft spot for her. He practically saved her from an abusive stepfather. Not to mention, Peter was there at a pivotal, developmental point in her life and she didn't remember him either?
What exactly happened that made all the other Cortexifan kids remember Walter and the tests, but caused Olivia to forget? I hope they address this soon, but for now, I am completely immersed in a few revelations, like Peter's mother from this Universe drinking herself into oblivion which is the exact opposite to the Alternaverse where Walternate was just about to do the same.
The way both parents, from opposite universes, tried to cope with the loss of their children was heartbreaking but also rendered them a humanity they wouldn't have gotten otherwise since Peter's FauxMother died a while ago and Walternate is the Big Bad.
We discovered that Peter was more aware of his place in the Universe than we first thought. He tried to find his home at the bottom of a frozen lake for heaven sakes. The fact that he was manipulated, however reluctantly to believe he was suffering with delusions do to his prolonged illness shows how far Walter would go to not so much as keep Peter to himself, but more so not to affect the delicate balance between the Universes any more than he already has.
The one truly intriguing aspect for me, every episode, is the Blimp. It comes and goes every time both Universes meet and I wonder who is piloting it... what purpose does it serve? Mostly, it reminds me of a story I started writing years ago, back in high school, and so I can't help but wonder if the blimp is the all seeing eye that will reveal all to those with the power to destroy the universes, in due time.
So far we know that Walternate saw Olivia and discovered where is son went. We know that Walter wasn't exactly a Dr. Frankenstein. We now know who the Lab Assistant fated to die in a fire in Walter's lab is, and dare I venture to speculate, the probable origins of the fire (because making emotional charged children jump between worlds apparently causes large dispersions of energy).
Finally, we discover that all though FauxLivia has wrapped her twin talons around Peter's heart and will eventual tip the scales regarding his fate, it was OurLivia all along that set him on his current path. So, who will he choose?
I cannot wait to find out. If you missed it, you can watch it below. Enjoy!
