icepixiePerfect timing! I can watch tonight's episode in real time!
After watching "Plateau," I'm kind of over here going, "Wait. A TV pairing I ship gets this epic, universe-crossing, remember-me-and-don't-give-in-to-the-mind-control romance? At the beginning of season three? Really? THIS IS AMAZING!"*
And then in the next episode, Fauxlivia crosses her personal line of sleeping with Peter, which doesn't quite fit with the epic romance but is still quite interesting. (I am a lot more okay with a love triangle when two of the players are the same person, apparently.) Peter's going to feel guilty as hell when he figures it out, isn't he? Aw.
By "Do Shapeshifters Dream of Electric Sheep?", Walter is definitely suspecting something about Fauxlivia. I'm not sure why Peter tipped his hand by saying he'd noticed differences in her since she'd been back, unless he was aiming to confirm it by her reaction. Then again, perhaps he doesn't suspect; I wonder if he would actually have slept with her if he did.
Fauxlivia is COLD, shooting the deaf guy with no problems whatsoever. Wow. Then again, so is Newton, and a goodly number of people on the other side. I get the impression human life is less valuable over there.
Not sure what the deal is the the Sudden Deadly Oxygen Vacuums over there. They've managed to contain pollution to smaller areas, but it's consequently a million times worse in those areas? Air is being sucked into our universe? But HOLY CRAP THEY HAVE DAILY FLIGHTS TO THE MOON! Even if they haven't cured smallpox, I think I want to visit long enough to go to the moon. There's probably a low-gravity themepark. LunarDisney?
The red and blue credits are inspired.
Heh, Fringe HQ NYC is that great Vancouver Public Library building that's shown up in BSG, Caprica, and SG-1. It sure does get around...
So are John Scott's memories still bouncing around in Ourlivia's mind along with Fauxlivia's memories? 'Cause that poor girl is just not ever going to know what's hers anymore, I don't think.
OMG, Walter now owns Massive Dynamic. Ahahahaha. This cannot end well, but it will surely end entertainingly.
The shapeshifter going native was great. But I thought they had to switch to a new body every few days--they did at the beginning of S2, anyway. Perhaps this will be explained some day?
Loved Ourlivia rescuing her own self again. Awesome. (And it's just not a J.J. Abrams show--even if he's no longer really involved--without the lead making an impossible dive from a high place, is it? *snicker*)
Bwahaha, they cast Amy Madigan (Iris from Carnivale) as Fauxlivia's mother. I approve. She's totally going to do something evil.
* Pleasepleaseplease don't get everyone back to their universe and then have Peter and Ourlivia decide it's too weird to be together after all that's happened. I would cry.

oh, hell, sacrifices need to be made for epic universe-crossing romances!
"What, this episode is about extraterrestrial asparagus?? Who even cares! There are Significant Glances being exchanged!"
I mean COME ON, they were just in an alternate universe with her evil doppelganger, I MEAN REALLY.
He was JUST DISCUSSING how tricky shapeshifters could be and yet somehow the shapeshifter's wife never noticed and how could anyone fall for that and WATCH OUT FOR THAT ANVIL IT NEARLY KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF.
Yeah, but I don't think Ourlivia would kill a guy just because he was inconvenient, and Walter wouldn't do assorted evil Walternate things, and there's the whole deal with the Amber, and and and...
I wonder if their world started out a little bit eviller, or if it was all a result of Peter's kidnapping and the ensuing chaos? They've had about a quarter-century to get seriously twisted over there...
It would be like that damn His Dark Materials series, and just...no. No.
Did something like that happen? I remember getting more and more frustrated with that series, but apparently I blocked out the details.
Even pudding wouldn't be able to cheer him up!
Pudding-less levels of despondency! Too bad we didn't get to see his happy dance when he first figured out about Peter and Fauxlivia being together. Maybe we'll get a better one when Peter and Ourlivia finally work out all their issues?

It's really hard to tell. They didn't have 9/11 and no one shot JFK, which might put them on the "nicer" end of the scale, but "North Texas" also appears to be a separate country with serious problems (ripple effect from a Civil War that ended differently?). I think I'd put my money on the chaos caused by the kidnapping, though.

Apparently! I also read the whole thing and don't remember anything after the first book, but someone mentioned it in comparison with this show and I looked the last book up on Wikipedia. Will and Lyra were trapped on separate worlds forever and ever at the end.

panders torecognizes our needs!They didn't have 9/11
Well, I'd say that has more to do with everybody having Other Problems by 2001. And Nixon was a nice guy, I guess? Or didn't get caught? But you're right, the less-nice things all seem to have happened after 1989.

Bah. No wonder I erased it.

Stupid work tomorrow! Stupid bedtimes! Stupid needing more than five hours of sleep to function properly!
