icepixieFirst off, in case you haven't heard, Fringe got renewed for a full, 22-episode fourth season! I am utterly astonished and very grateful. Apparently the move to Fridays actually was an attempt to save it, and it worked! Yay!
Thoughts on last night's episode:
Oh, evil Walternate, never change! I was wondering where you were hiding. Let me guess, the baby is going to be shunted into that machine ASAP because he's genetically similar enough to Peter for it to work. (Although in that case, Walternate himself has an equal chance of powering the machine...but I guess he wouldn't want to sacrifice himself.) I guess experimenting on children is okay when they're related to you?
The "accelerated pregnancy" made me roll my eyes a whoooooooooooole lot, but then again, at least they aren't dragging the angst out forever and ever and are apparently jumping straight to the evil machinations, so on the whole, I approve. The birth scene even made me give a damn about Fauxlivia, which is impressive, since of late I have spent red universe episodes resenting her for taking time away from Ourlivia. And awww, Lincoln. I wonder if she even remembers what he said, and if so, what she'll do about it.
I also approve of the incipient rebellion in those final scenes with Scarlie and Lincoln. And of Henry coming back! I love Henry! Given that Walternate probably meant for Fauxlivia to die in that procedure so he could have unrestrained access to the kid, I bet she's going to use some maternal instinct to throw a wrench in whatever plans he has, and be backed up by Scarlie, Linc, Henry, and perhaps even the "real" versions of the characters from the blueniverse. Fauxlivia's mom joining them would be good too, 'cause more Amy Madigan is an excellent thing.
