icepixie: ([Fringe] Olivia in a hat)
[personal profile] icepixie
Although I'm not a huge fan of Fringe's Monster of the Week episodes (XF did them so much better), I really like that they're doing them in the AU, because we learn more about how that universe works. Amber is a fascinating, horrifying concept, and I'm glad we got more details about it.

Also glad that...Ourlivia is back? It sure looked like everything, or at least most things, clicked into place for her when she talked to Ella on our side? And she knew enough to lie to Walternate, who apparently saw right through her. I do kind of like how bouncy Ourlivia-as-Fauxlivia is, but I prefer original flavor, especially since we have Fauxlivia in our universe. But Scarlie and Lincoln Lee are wonderful, and I kind of wish she could take them with her when she inevitably crosses back over. That moment where Linc and Olivia gave Scarlie a big scarcastic "awwww" when he mentioned buying cigarettes for his mother was adorable. Though then again, things worked better in S2 without Charlie, much as I loved him; Peter would be superfluous again if they came along.

Still very much appreciating that Peter is Ourlivia's way of reasserting her own personality.

Er, didn't Ourlivia say Ella was seven when she was in Fauxlivia's apartment last season? And wasn't she four in S1? Why is she turning seven this week? And why do she and Rachel now live in Chicago? Granted, Olivia's family is the least interesting part of the show for me, but the details matter!

Finally, GIP for those reading this on LJ. :)

I love how you can almost immediately tell which Olivia or Walter is which, just from their body language. Such good acting.

I too am sad that Scarlie will probably not be with us for long. But there's not quite room for him, alas. Surely they won't actively kill him off again, right? Right??
I hope he gets to ride off into the sunset this time.

Yeah, I had my doubts about Anna Torv at first, but wow. She owns it.
