Fringe: "Firefly"

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.

But yes, thank you for the soap opera angle. : )
Always glad to be of service!
Um, yeah, this whole Oppenheimer/Abraham-n-Isaac vibe is... unsettling.
Indeeeeeeed. I'll just point out that since the show switched to Fridays midway through this season, they ended up with an episode airing on Good Friday and I'm pretty sure they knew it was going to air then. Ahem.
lol, I was blissfully ignorant of that. Now you'll have me watching for it...
Thankfully, I think it stops after this episode. I think maybe Josh Jackson pissed off someone in hair and makeup that week?
arrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhh
So much sadness. :(

Very high on the list of People You Should Not Piss Off!
