icepixieSomeone please tell me that when the Observer said, "It must be hard to be a father," I was not the only one to jump to the conclusion that Fauxlivia got pregnant when she was sleeping with Peter. And then to promptly go, "Oh, shiiiiiiiiit."
I think he was probably talking about Walter and Roscoe there, but that was a terrifying moment. And it could still be true, oh dear god.
Anyway, speaking of fathers, we saw Walter and Peter being sweet together at the end (awww!), which can only mean pain in the near future. You know, if the two Observers saying outright that Walter was going to have to sacrifice Peter didn't tip you off.
I'm a little confused by the whole universe-out-of-balance thing. If the Observers truly don't know which future will come to pass (which is also a little odd, seeing as the show appears to come down on the side of "every decision creates a new universe," so technically all the possible futures come to pass), then how do they know things are out of balance? Is there a plan they're following? If so, doesn't that negate the fact that the future can get out of balance in the first place?
(Why does every text ever come down to free will vs. predestination for me?)
Anyway, in the shallow end, ohgod, Peter, your HAIR. WHAT is with that Elvis/Travolta pompadour thing in front? I think I actually saw it bounce. YOUR HAIR SHOULD NOT BOUNCE, PETER.
Slightly less shallow: Olivia and Peter still make my heart ache. :( Especially when they were all, "Awww, the old couple is still together after all these years, isn't that sweet," and then looking all guilty and sad at each other. Ohhhh, poor babies.

It never occurred to me that they'd kill off Peter; I really don't think they're going to kill any of the Main Five, because the set up works so very well as they have it. No way they'd give up the chance to have more awesome scenes between John Noble and Joshua Jackson!
(Actually, I guess they might do something horrible to Astrid one day, since she's the most expendable. I hope not, though, because I adore her even when she gets little to do.)
