Fringe 4.07: "Wallflower"
Nov. 18th, 2011 09:46 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
icepixieASDFJKL; OMG THE ENDING. I thought it would be less cliffhangery since we weren't getting the real fall finale, but NO, NO, NOT QUITE.
(Although I suppose this could mean that the next episode is even cliffhangerier. As an aside, the preview made it look really, really good, and I so wish we'd gotten it this year. The Lincolns meeting! Fauxlivia telling Peter she doesn't remember him! Elizabeth Bishop! Olivia meeting the Observer!)
From the beginning:
I want to know how long Olivia's migraines have been going on. Are they related to Peter's reappearance? They seemed rather more long-standing. Bluelivia didn't have them, did she? Maybe it's a Cortexiphan thing. (If you go too long without being activated, you get migraines?)
I sincerely hope nothing comes from it because I am an OTPer, but I have to admit that Olivia and Nerd!Lincoln at the diner in the beginning was cute. Was his hair a bit spiker in that scene? OMG, he's slowly turning into Red!Lincoln.
Oooh, Amberlivia's back to black hair ties like Bluelivia instead of the white she's been sporting. I wonder if that means anything.
Walter: You must have been a very boring child.
Astrid: I'm ignoring that. *click*
Ha! Astrid seems more assertive now that she can just turn Walter off. He also seems more bitchy toward her than Blue!Walter was, but maybe I'm just misremembering.
Awww, Astrid has the good sense to go to the FBI shrink. And poor, confused Olivia's just like, "But I thought it was normal to take shapeshifters and alternate universes and time warps in stride!" It's sad that she doesn't even talk to Nina about her job, though. :( (Though after that ending, maybe that's for the better...)
So was Marilyn's Massive Dynamic private insurance something the family received for Olivia's participation in the trials?
What exactly is Peter building? Isn't there a machine already?
"Thanks for your help the other day." Wait, so if last week Peter had only been back for three days, and that adventure was just "the other day"...do these people not get weekends?
Hmmm, Peter said "timeline" rather than "universe." I wonder if that's significant.
Oh, I loved the way he just went completely still (and a little googly-eyed) when Lincoln mentioned Olivia's name. And Lincoln proves he's much more of a people person than this Olivia by immediately cottoning on to the fact that Peter and Bluelivia were/are together.
"That's not my Olivia." BRB, CRYING FOREVER. Also, awww, Lincoln has a crush. He's in for a rude awakening.Someone needs to find him a nice young man.
"You know I'm going to be the one to take the blame for this." Ohhh, Walter's budget minder would indeed be a TERRIBLE job function!
Blah blah plotcakes. I admit, aside from the Nina stuff and the few scenes with Peter, this episode did basically nothing for me. Maybe it would have been better if I didn't NEED to see what's going on with Peter and the timeline, but I think even without that urgency it wouldn't have been very interesting. They were a little heavy-handed with U-Gene's relevance to Peter's situation, too. He wants to be "looked upon by the right person" and "to see recognition" in their eyes, because "that's when you exist." HI, I AM YOUR SYMBOL. Peter doesn't really exist until Olivia, Walter, etc. recognize him!
Despite how anvilicious that was, though, it does fit rather nicely with what Nina says to Olivia later. (BTW, "Olive," OMG.) She says Olivia will find where she belongs *cough cough WITH PETER cough*, and when the time is right she'll know she's in the right place. I mentioned last week that I thought the timeline might be changed in part because Olivia would have to believe in it--since there's evidence from "Subject 13" that what she imagines can become real--and now I really think they're going to go there. I think maybe there's going to come a point where she has to choose whether to be more Bluelivia or more Amberlivia, and whichever she goes with is going to be which timeline dominates.
Ohhhhh, that completely impersonal acknowledgement as Peter and Olivia passed each other in the hall BROKE MY HEART. Such a change from Peter's demeanor in the scene at the Bishop house!
Linc and Olivia set up a date! I don't know whether to be sad because it's not her and Peter or to coo because they're awkwardly adorable!
And...Peter is trying to set them up. By giving Lincoln less nerdy glasses. Um. (How did he get Linc's prescription, anyway?) Personally, if he has to wear glasses, I prefer the hipster ones.
Olivia putting on an outfit very similar to the one she wore before her date with Peter in "Jacksonville" and messing with her hair in the exact same way was a knife to the gut, even if she did go with the ponytail instead of leaving it loose this time. And that date didn't turn out as planned either...
Olivia, is there a reason you have a security camera in your apartment?
So, um, Nina is getting less "vaguely" and more "evil" by the minute. Who knew Blue!Nina would seem less sinister than Amber!Nina? Arrrgggh, what did she do to Olivia? The only thing they said was that she wouldn't remember the last couple hours, but they didn't take her, and there was only one injection...was it red? I can't remember. Might it have been Cortexiphan? Not sure to what end that would be, since they already have a bridge between the universes. ARGH, WINTER HIATUS, WHY MUST YOU BE SO LONG??

Date: 2011-11-19 07:53 pm (UTC)Walter: "Is that a word?"
I want to know how long Olivia's migraines have been going on.
I think they're a side-effect of the knock-out drugs Nina is using on her. Because she's getting injected with cortexiphan, right? And that alone didn't cause headaches before. I can't figure out what Nina's goal is with that, though. Maybe we'll finally get back to the Machine, and That Apocalypse We Kinda Put On The Back Burner? After the scenes they chose for the previouslies, I was hoping the migraines would be related to her dreams of Peter, but apparently not.
but I have to admit that Olivia and Nerd!Lincoln at the diner in the beginning was cute.
So cute! There's gotta be some universe where they get together! ...Just not one with Peter in it, okay? Poor Lincoln is getting set up for a heart-smooshing, I can tell. :(
OMG, he's slowly turning into Red!Lincoln.
Complete with Olivia fixation! Aww.
Oooh, Amberlivia's back to black hair ties like Bluelivia instead of the white she's been sporting.
...It appears I am not the only one here who is creepily over-observant?
He also seems more bitchy toward her than Blue!Walter was, but maybe I'm just misremembering.
Maybe it's that he doesn't have Peter to bitch at? :(
And poor, confused Olivia's just like, "But I thought it was normal to take shapeshifters and alternate universes and time warps in stride!"
Oh, Olivia. Somebody needs a hug. And maybe a shrink.
So was Marilyn's Massive Dynamic private insurance something the family received for Olivia's participation in the trials?
Maybe? Or maybe the insurance company wasn't exclusive to MD?
What exactly is Peter building? Isn't there a machine already?
There's one in the universe-bridge. Maybe he's trying to figure out how to hack it for timeline-swapping?
do these people not get weekends?
Fauxlivia mentioned having Sundays off at one point (in the process of getting called in to work on a Sunday...). I kinda assumed that they were all on the six-days-a-week-plus-emergencies schedule.
Hmmm, Peter said "timeline" rather than "universe." I wonder if that's significant.
It does seem to make sense. Redverse has a LOT of differences, like Nixon and ballpoint pens, but Amberverse's only differences stem mainly from the Peter-hole.
Oh, I loved the way he just went completely still (and a little googly-eyed) when Lincoln mentioned Olivia's name.
Meeeeep. And Lincoln is not the only one who can cotton.
"That's not my Olivia." BRB, CRYING FOREVER.
FLAILFLAILFLAIL
Also, awww, Lincoln has a crush. He's in for a rude awakening.
This is really starting to point towards Amberlivia actually turning out to be Blulivia at a later date, because how do you maximize the crazy doppeldrama? Have Peter accidentally set Lincoln up with Peter's Olivia. And then Olivia remembers she's Peter's Olivia. OH SNAP! Lincoln loses in every timeline!
Someone needs to find him a nice young man.It would be for the best, really.
They were a little heavy-handed with U-Gene's relevance to Peter's situation, too.
A bit hamfisted, yes, but... the fact that the sciencetastically-lonely introvert suspect is a (admittedly shallow) metaphor for not only Peter, but also Olivia AND Lincoln? Awwwwwwwww, this show, awwwwwww! Hugs for everybody! (That last scene between Nina and Olivia? OH MY GOD.)
Also, if Eugene is visible in UV light... this whole plot could've been prevented if he'd just taken up with Boston's raver crowd, or a black-light bowling league. Just saying.

Date: 2011-11-20 02:30 am (UTC)It is if I say so!
I think they're a side-effect of the knock-out drugs Nina is using on her.
Yeah, you're probably right. Although if it's been going on long enough to cause what appear to be long-standing migraines, doesn't Olivia ever wonder why she keeps waking up on the floor?
Because she's getting injected with cortexiphan, right?
It does look that way, yep.
I can't figure out what Nina's goal is with that, though.
It seems like there might be two reasons: one, to activate her (maybe they have a burning need for a pyrokinetic? *ba-dum-ching*), or two, to keep her inactive. When Olivia starts questioning why she's so stoic, out comes the cortexiphan to keep her that way? Though I still can't figure out what goal either of those results would serve.
Maybe we'll finally get back to the Machine, and That Apocalypse We Kinda Put On The Back Burner?
I really really really want to get back to the apocalypse! All the fringe events are supposedly the result of the rift Walter made between the universes (right?), so the fact that they're still seeing fringe events means the universes are still actively apocalypsing, argh.
After the scenes they chose for the previouslies, I was hoping the migraines would be related to her dreams of Peter, but apparently not.
Yeah, I was hoping the same thing, but they also had scenes about Cortexiphan in the previouslies, so I guess they were hinting pretty broadly there.
So cute! There's gotta be some universe where they get together! ...Just not one with Peter in it, okay?
Perhaps there is a chartreuse universe where Peter was never born and Olivia and Lincoln live happily ever after!
Poor Lincoln is getting set up for a heart-smooshing, I can tell. :(
Ohhhh, definitely. I guess technically he already had a bit of a heart-smoosh when Olivia stood him up at the end...
...It appears I am not the only one here who is creepily over-observant?
Er...um... *whistles* I actually read about the white hair ties somewhere else, but the black one I noticed on my own!
Maybe it's that he doesn't have Peter to bitch at? :(
Awww, Peter's no longer the lightning rod for Walter's bitchiness!
Oh, Olivia. Somebody needs a hug. And maybe a shrink.
I originally read that as "And maybe a drink," which would also be an option. But the shrink is probably healthier.
Maybe? Or maybe the insurance company wasn't exclusive to MD?
Like MD would let anyone else in on their scientific turf...
There's one in the universe-bridge. Maybe he's trying to figure out how to hack it for timeline-swapping?
Perhaps?
Fauxlivia mentioned having Sundays off at one point (in the process of getting called in to work on a Sunday...). I kinda assumed that they were all on the six-days-a-week-plus-emergencies schedule.
Join the FBI. You can have a day off when you retire. If you live that long.
It does seem to make sense. Redverse has a LOT of differences, like Nixon and ballpoint pens, but Amberverse's only differences stem mainly from the Peter-hole.
Hmmm, true...
This is really starting to point towards Amberlivia actually turning out to be Blulivia at a later date
So instead of the timeline actually changing (the "Peter as eraser rubbings" theory), Amber was just laid over Blue like saving over a document in Word? I'm kind of leaning toward that myself these days...although I tend to think their "revert to last saved copy" function is partially broken...
Have Peter accidentally set Lincoln up with Peter's Olivia. And then Olivia remembers she's Peter's Olivia. OH SNAP! Lincoln loses in every timeline!
LINCOLN WILL NEVER BE HAPPY!
A bit hamfisted, yes, but... the fact that the sciencetastically-lonely introvert suspect is a (admittedly shallow) metaphor for not only Peter, but also Olivia AND Lincoln? Awwwwwwwww, this show, awwwwwww! Hugs for everybody!

Date: 2011-11-20 01:12 pm (UTC)It could be the cliffhangeriest!
doesn't Olivia ever wonder why she keeps waking up on the floor?
They seemed to think she wouldn't remember about waking up on the floor? I'm confused as to just how the memory loss works, but... ok.... I do wonder about that prescription she had that seemed pretty old, and unused for a time. What kind of schedule is Nina on, anyway??
maybe they have a burning need for a pyrokinetic? *ba-dum-ching*
*GROAN*
When Olivia starts questioning why she's so stoic, out comes the cortexiphan to keep her that way?
Does that mean she's never been activated, and because of that cortexiphan has different effects on her? ....I wonder if Lincoln could trigger her? DUN DUN DUN.
All the fringe events are supposedly the result of the rift Walter made between the universes (right?)
A lot of them are, but Broyles talked about how the X-Files and other investigations had been going on for like fifty years, didn't he?
the universes are still actively apocalypsing, argh.
I'm pretty sure the bridge did not hit a giant timespace pause button, no! Let's get back to that!
Perhaps there is a chartreuse universe where Peter was never born and Olivia and Lincoln live happily ever after!
Awww, and their universe totally didn't get ripped to shreds! Awww! (This triangle is going to be pretty compelling, seeing as how both guys have a lot of audience sympathy and are genuinely nice people who love Olivia.)
I guess technically he already had a bit of a heart-smoosh when Olivia stood him up at the end...
Good practice for later?
I actually read about the white hair ties somewhere else, but the black one I noticed on my own!
I suspect before this season is out we're going to discover Amberlivia's underwear-color preference...
Awww, Peter's no longer the lightning rod for Walter's bitchiness!
Awww, now it's much less focused and tends to hit innocent bystanders!
I originally read that as "And maybe a drink," which would also be an option.
Oh, I'm pretty sure she's already gotten herself a drink! This is Olivia, after all.
Amber was just laid over Blue like saving over a document in Word?
Awwwww! Ctrl-Z! Ctrl-Z!!!
although I tend to think their "revert to last saved copy" function is partially broken...
SHOULD'VE SAVED AT THE LAST BOSS MONSTER!
LINCOLN WILL NEVER BE HAPPY!
UNTIL HE FINDS A MAN!
The writers are so good at multitasking!
Especially when everyone is so shy and pathetic!

Does that mean she's never been activated, and because of that cortexiphan has different effects on her?
I think they've established that she was never activated, since she seemed surprised that Cameron James (or whatever his name was) had his magnetic powers in "Subject 9," and I think she also talked to Astrid and Walter about how she never had anything like that happen to her. Maybe Cortexiphan just gives her bad headaches?
....I wonder if Lincoln could trigger her? DUN DUN DUN.
But but but that's Peter's thing! I am mostly okay with Amberlivia and Lincoln's nerd!relationship, but it is REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME that Peter remains her trigger. I like the epicness and DESTINY it gives to their relationship.
A lot of them are, but Broyles talked about how the X-Files and other investigations had been going on for like fifty years, didn't he?
I remember something about the X-Files, but not how long they'd been going on. But that's plausible, sure.
(This triangle is going to be pretty compelling, seeing as how both guys have a lot of audience sympathy and are genuinely nice people who love Olivia.)
I hope they don't make it into a real triangle, though, because I hate triangles so much. Peter/Olivia/Fauxlivia wasn't so bad because at least with doppelgangers it's different enough to be interesting--and Peter didn't even realize he was participating in a triangle--but that's about all I can take.
I suspect before this season is out we're going to discover Amberlivia's underwear-color preference...
INTO THE TANK WITH YOU! (Also...beige?)

I think she also talked to Astrid and Walter about how she never had anything like that happen to her.
Ah, right.
Maybe Cortexiphan just gives her bad headaches?
Would it kill Nina to slip her a little migraine medication while she's out? :(
I am mostly okay with Amberlivia and Lincoln's nerd!relationship, but it is REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME that Peter remains her trigger.
Awwwwwwwwwwww. You never watched any Lost, did you? Last week, Peter's line of "There's too many variables, and not enough constants!" (and then a shot of Olivia) reminded me of Lost's concept of a Constant (http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Constant): someone who can anchor you to your "home" timeline and pull you back when you get jumbled up in time travel.
I like the epicness and DESTINY it gives to their relationship.
DESTINY ftw!
I hope they don't make it into a real triangle, though, because I hate triangles so much.
But it follows Bujold's Law of Maximum Angst! And if Olivia starts to fluctuate between Olivias, then it becomes... a quadrangle?
and Peter didn't even realize he was participating in a triangle
Um, yeah, it's good they're getting back to his genius roots, after all his stupidity last season...
INTO THE TANK WITH YOU!
Haha, yes, well, that too...

Nope. It sounded just a little too impenetrable for me, and I hear the finale was uniformly disappointing, so...
someone who can anchor you to your "home" timeline and pull you back when you get jumbled up in time travel.
Awwwww!
But it follows Bujold's Law of Maximum Angst!
But there is angst and annoyance, and triangles lean heavily towards annoyance!
And if Olivia starts to fluctuate between Olivias, then it becomes... a quadrangle?
NOOOO THAT'S EVEN WORSE! I suffered through two seasons of Quadrangle of Doom on BSG and that is ENOUGH for one lifetime!
Um, yeah, it's good they're getting back to his genius roots, after all his stupidity last season...
Selective geniusness, perhaps...

It sounded just a little too impenetrable for me
Yeah, I watched every bit of all six seasons and I was still confused. I'm glad JJ Abrams seems to have learned his lesson from that. But it was still a great show, despite all the flaws.
I hear the finale was uniformly disappointing, so...
It wasn't bad but... you can't tie up several hundred loose ends in three hours. Just not gonna happen.
Awwwww!
The episode where the idea of Constants was established (and proven) was That One Where Every Single Fan Was Reduced To Tears Of Shippy Joy. It was epic.
But there is angst and annoyance, and triangles lean heavily towards annoyance!
Come onnnn, writers! Don't screw this up!
Selective geniusness, perhaps...
Haha, runs in the family!

Date: 2011-11-19 07:53 pm (UTC)That'd be a little reminiscent of Peter "having to choose" between Ourlivia and Fauxlivia, but... less icky. Also, Nerd!Lincoln, go gay, quick! Before your heart gets stomped!
Ohhhhh, that completely impersonal acknowledgement as Peter and Olivia passed each other in the hall BROKE MY HEART.
The part where he grinned at her, all, "Heheheh, my plan to sexify Lincoln is totally gonna work!" got me. He's completely given up on this being his Olivia. Which means she totally is. :(
Linc and Olivia set up a date!
A date for 3am at Insomniac's House of Pancakes! Awww! This can only lead to disaster!
(How did he get Linc's prescription, anyway?)
I bet it's in Lincoln's personnel file. Hooray for Peter's makeovering! Lincoln's old glasses weren't just fugly, they were too small for his face. Peter has excellent taste. Also he has really great chemistry with Lincoln, to a slightly disturbing level.
(It occurred to me this week that Nerd!Lincoln is also sad in this timeline because he doesn't have a Scarlie to hang out with. :( )
and messing with her hair in the exact same way was a knife to the gut
Oliviaaaaaaaaaa!! Nooooo!! (And obviously no Olivia in any timeline will be allowed to set up dates, short of showing up on the guy's doorstep with a bottle of liquor and a proposition.)
Olivia, is there a reason you have a security camera in your apartment?

I guess a little reminiscent, but definitely less icky because she'd be choosing who she wants to be, rather than choosing between two people like puppies at the pound?

Hmm, the yellow one, or the red one? IF YOU CHOOSE THE YELLOW ONE THE RED PUPPY GETS OBLITERATED! NO PRESSURE! Heh, yeah, the new dilemma would be preferable.
Get a meddling mother to find you a nice young man!
Far, far away from Boston!
FLAILFLAILFLAIL

His creepily over-informative personnel file...
It's... in his medical records... so they can... replace his glasses when they break.... yeah, okay, the FBI is creepy.
I dunno, liked the dork!statement they made.
Dork!statement is what Olivia's glasses make. Linc's were veering off into "Seth Gabel, why are you trying so hard to look unattractive? Because it's allllllmost working" territory.
The new ones are just...there.
Just there... being hot... (omg, I love boys in glasses!)
She's doomed.
Dooooooomed!
That's some heavy-duty paranoia there, especially for someone who carries a gun...
I could see Olivia having a knack for heavy-duty paranoia...
