Child Olivia is out acting Adult Olivia.
And that would matter to Walter? He was a bit more dubious in his early years.

Oh nice. 1985 Walternate too. This episode has it all.

Other Earth isn't so blurry.
Other Earth is Best Earth.
The two Earths on this show link so well with the two Earths shown in Doctor Who Series 2. Right down to the alternate Earth being more advanced and still having air ships. I dare say Walter caused the damage between universes that the Doctor eventually has to fix.
Edit: NVM it's still blurry.

They probably want the fuzziness to look like it has been played on a VHS tape over and over again, I dunno.
This has been a great episode so far.

Kind of sad that our Bishop was the bad guy. He stole a child that wasn't his because he was selfish and weak. And that Walternate has to pay the price. Good drama.

WTF!?!?!?!?!?!
Why the hell are they taking next week off? That's bullshit.

Get Inside Her!
Wait where's the scene where they both lose their memories.
I guess I can handle Olivia not remembering Peter, it was so long ago and she barely remembers any of her time there anyway. But Peter not remembering her? And in particular, not having any kind of "oh shit I was right all along" reaction when he finds out that he's from the other universe later in life? This episode was neat, but it sure seems like none of the episodes so far were filmed with this particular backstory having ever been conceptualized.

Guess that explains why Olivia said her stepfather always beat her mom but not her.
He's only 7-8 at that point. Not only is that stuff ancient history now (he didn't even remember being sick in season one), it seems like he let his "mother" convince him so that they could be happy.

Damn... that was so awesome. Loved it. We got so many new details. That was crazy. Totally fell for her talking to Walternate. I had no idea until she turned around and our Walter walked back in or whatever. Nick Lane and the stepfather being in it. Man that was such a great episode.
As for the two weeks, I think they usually don't even air Fringe in March at all, so it could be worse.

That Walternate is a Commie bastard
The episode was much better than I thought it would be. Those children actors did pretty good jobs. Probably the most surprising part. Olivia spilling the beans to Walternate was f'ing brilliant. Damn, this show. I hope to high hell that you dumbass Nielsen box people were watching tonight and pressing those buttons!

We still have a long wait till we know. They usually don't announce their fall schedules till May usually.
When olivia was talking to walter about her step dad hitting her, I was happy, Waiting for walter to lay the smack down and then all of a sudden he rocks up from behind asking what's going on.
HOLY SHIT BALLS. So good, I was not expecting that at all.
What an awesome awesome episode. We also saw the observer standing behind walternate as he went back to work

Fucking amazing episode.
The child actors for Peter and Olivia were spectacular. Especially the kid who played Peter. He actually did some very subtle stuff that I loved.
The betamax scene was fucking intense. We've always known just how far Walter went. Seeing it firsthand was still frightening.
I find it amazing that, with Walternate, Elizaltbeth, Elizabeth, and Walter, we have four really different characters that each share different traits with the others. It's such a wonderful way of showing the differences between the universes post-kidnapping without just having it be "and then Walter and Walternate were opposites of each other." The only person of the four who seems to have lost hope is Elizaltbeth. But Elizabeth is helpless just like Elizaltbeth. And so on. I mean, they have the same pairing done twice with tweaks and they both feel so real and amazing. Fucking love it.

Double post but whatevs:
*SPOILERS* preview for the next episode in 2 weeks: 3x16 "Os" Holy amazballs that looks good.
CASTING SPOILERS
Also, it is maybe convenient that Olivia and Peter seemed to have forgotten all of this. But both went through a lot of crazy stuff, and they seem to have blocked it out. That's not too abnormal.

Belly! Nimoy hinted at coming back and then confirmed it today, but I figured it meant he was shooting soon. Maybe it does, but I think there was a new shot of him in there!

How is this not related to the main storyline of Peter continuing to deal with his feelings for both universes as Walter and Walternate both pursue their goals?Nlroh said:
I know, the main themes of this episode are very related to the storyline. It's just that the last time it was Walter telling Olivia about the kidnapping and everything else. This episode was the viewers watching a flashback because the writers wanted a flashback. I suppose they had a very specific reason for doing that.

That's not entirely true though. Walter kidnapped Peter because only he could save him. He always wanted to return him as soon as possible (maybe not only because it's the right thing to do, but because he fears what "he" is capable of, as mentioned in this episode).
Even the Cortexiphan tests on children exist due to him finding a more save way to cross to the other universe again.
However, it never came to it or him (and his wife) changed their mind and just kept him.
WTF with the blur, can't stand it. I liked this episode a lot aside from the fucking blur, especially the ending.
So true.Teh Hamburglar said:
And Peter not remembering Olivia, and Olivia not remembering Walter's son nor that she could cross to another universe in seasons 1 & 2, small (lol) plot holes but I love this show regardless.Nlroh said:

I don't think this is a plot hole. I honestly think there is more to it still. I'm thinking Walter and Bell may have somehow wiped their memories or at least repressed them.

Yeah, that's what I think too, because that would be more than a small plot hole imo.PsychoRaven said:
Superb episode, only one thing slightly bothered me: the dialogue between young Peter and Olivia sounded a little too grown-up (I don't think children talk like that). The actress who plays Walter's wife is really good. I thought throughout the episode that she would commit suicide at the end of the episode but now that I think about it, that happened when Walter was already in the mental institution, right?
Sucks that the next episode is two weeks away. Oh well, at least they had a great episode before the break.

Just watched last week's episode.
Walter: "Quantum entanglement is a tricky business."
LOL
Oh, can someone remind me why was Walter in the institution in S1? I seem to remember someone saying he was placed there after the loss of a co-worker in a lab accident.

He was placed there because there was an accident which killed a lab assistant and he was blamed. They apparently found him to be of unsound mind and locked him up in there for all those years.
