Shooting an unarmed, (mostly) innocent deaf man who came to you because he wanted to help in the back of the head seems kinda evil to me.

But maybe that's just me.

Not to mention she's actively and knowingly destroying a relationship and plotting to annihilate an entire universe.

Oh, I love her too. I love having a villain that I just HATE. And I mean HATE HATE. They are the best. Much like Nina MYERS on 24. You love anytime they show up because they are evil, smart, and badass. But when they finally get what is coming...it is all the sweeter.

Can someone explain the fan nickname Bolivia to me? I just can't make any sense of it, and don't get why people keep using it over the far cooler Fauxlivia or Evilia.

Also, would Peter suffer from permanent partial hearing loss after this or does everything just go back to normal after a while?

I assume it's a derivative of B-Olivia (2nd Olivia).

If the only way to save her world is to destroy ours then everyone and everybody in it will be killed anyway, so there's not much harm in doing anything you feel is necessary here.

You left out the best one, and the one that makes the most sense given that "Walternate" is now canon - Oliviate.

Walternate works because it sound so much like alternate.

Oliviate sounds like some levitation ability Olivia has.

So far I've seen

Oliviate, Altivia, Alivia, Bolivia, Fauxlivia, Evilia, Boliviate,

I've heard Altlivia and Bolivia from some actor interviews. I wonder what the Broyles and Astrid are called on set. Is there another Nina Sharp over there?

Watched the first episode of this season (well, watching it now).

When did this show get so incredibly awful?

Next one looks good, they actually focus on the tolerable characters!

I wouldn't have agreed with you, but you backed up your opinion on why Olivia is a bad character very well. :rolleyes

I would be willing to argue that "Olivia" was one of the top 20 episodes of the series.

Enjoyed episode two; I think they will have to resolve the Fauxlivia tension pretty soon, after a few episodes it will get absurd to think that an alien would be able to fake-it sufficiently for people to not immediately know she isn't herself.

I spent all of season 2 bitching about the awful actress that is Anna Torv.

She wasn't given a lot to work with in season 1 and most of season 2. In the premiere, she did scared and lost and reflexive very well. Also, the cinematography in that episode was wonderful.

Just watched the second episode (sorry, the second premier).


SO GOOD

episode 3 looks like utter trash. I hope they keep this every other thing going so I know which episodes to watch.

i dont know other shows with anna torv, but i love her as olivia. shes not supposed to be that multidimensional. the whole character is based on the trauma of her childhood, so its pretty believable.

I've hated Anna Torv's acting for most of the show as well but she's been alright so far this season. Fauxlivia is fun and she was pretty good in the premiere.

For a moment I thought it was going to be some sort of variation on the Joker's pencil trick.

Two things I never noticed before:

Broyles pretty damn fit.
Walternate's hair looks wavy, like it is made of flames from certain angles.

I have never said this because I thought it'd be weird: I love Walternate's hair. It's evil and old at the same time.

Also, Lincoln still looks freaky.

I absolutely loved the opening sequence. I once wrote a short story with a similar premise for a writing class. My version had a guy that calculated, like rain man, what needed to happen for him to pull off a murder from miles away. I got an A on that paper. I've since used the premise in other stories where everything is "connected", where everything in existence is actually machinery ran by equations.

This show is striking a chord with me this season. I'm digging it.

Well fuck me. I worked on a story about someone who could predict a crime before it would happen by calculating reactions in the environment.

Dark Angel had a guy who could "predict" the future by working out all the probabilities.

Why aren't there any slide rules again?

In an interview, Astrid's actress said her character
has Asperger's and is a savant for number crunching. Douche is probably the same.

We are two sides of the same coin. I have found my arch-nemesis, it would seem.

Oh my god he's doing the Observer shit.

This is actually a significant mythology episode. They're not time travelers, just living supercomputer prodigies.
