Were we supposed to take that literally? That's awful fast.
Maybe it was a shotgun wedding? I think it's mostly just to make an excuse for why Scarlie isn't there, since Kirk Acevedo is on Prime Suspect now. (Although IMDB has him listed for the fourth episode!)
OMG!! Now I have to go back and watch that stupid episode a second time, arg! So many things are referencing it this season!
Actually, I think the only time she mentions nearly killing her step-dad is in that episode in S1 with the birthday cards. That stupid episode with the kids only has him hitting her and her telling Walter(nate) about it.
Well, probably no one knows about it, except maybe Walter and Astrid.
I wonder if they even know about it. It seems like the only person she ever told was Peter.
I wonder how the cortexiphan arc went down without Peter in it? Did Olivia still have to open the Machine? Can she use her powers without Peter?
THINGS WE NEED ANSWERS TO! Though I bet she can't use her powers without Peter. That was such a huge part of the ending trilogy last season, and it's been there in subtle ways ever since "Ability" in S1, so I don't think they'd erase it now.
I guess he was... stealing memories, trying to get at happiness vicariously? And the hypothermia was a side-effect of the mad-science. I guess his doppelganger's memories were close enough to his own worldview to "click" somehow and let him see how he could change.
That seems plausible. I wish they'd had the serial killer say something besides "now I understand what I took from them," because it seems like seeing the victims' memories would be more likely to elicit that reaction. But eh, I see what they were going for.
(And yeah, she found his box of dead animals, like his dad did, but she told him it was okay, and he had alternate choices, which I guess had never occurred to him before.)
Ahhhhh, that makes sense.
Awwwww! And yet... this Olivia is still different from Blue!Olivia, so what's the mark? The sense of absence? That's a sucky mark.
I think it is supposed to be a sense of absence; what little I've gleaned from the producers over the interwebs is that this is their intention. I think the idea is that because the machine made it so that Peter never existed, rather than there...never being a Peter to be removed from existence in the first place?, everyone in the Cyan and Pinkverses aren't the same as people in a universe where Peter...well, organically, I guess, never existed. If that makes sense. I think the idea effect is supposed to be like when Ourlivia was mind-controlled to believe she was Fauxlivia, but she still knew something was wrong, even if she couldn't put her finger on it. Only more subtle, maybe.
...Okay, that was a terrible explanation, but it made sense when I read what the producers had to say about it. I'll see if I can dig up a link that's not too spoily.
And I get the impression that that wasn't the first auditory attempt, what with the blasting Mozart at the beginning...

...That is correct.
Glad it wasn't just me.

Indeed, indeed...
