Another terrific episode this week. (Which I just finally got to watch after a 106-hour work week -- sorry I'm tardy.)<br /><br />I LOVE that you caught the 'renumeration-remuneration' thing too. You editor, you. That's the kind of thing I can't mention when we're watching together or my wife'll slug me.<br /><br />So what do you think about the fact that last week's glyph message and this week's, when combined, make 'AMBER ALERT'? Doesn't bode well for poor little Ella, if you asked me. Whaddya wanna bet she's the first to suss out the fact that Aunt Liv's an impostor?yourblindspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17976169517693699335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-81711573697110741262010-10-01T12:24:20.774-04:002010-10-01T12:24:20.774-04:00@Page48:I have to anticipate that she comes around...@Page48:<i>I have to anticipate that she comes around at some point, whether it’s because of her relationship with Peter or whatever else might happen in weeks to come.</i> I get the same impression that she is slowly turning round on her mission. She does say "sorry" before she kills the deaf man. I gather we'll have to watch this process over the entire season. <br /><br />Although Bell is dead, I don't think we've seen the last of Mr. Nimoy. Afterall, this is a dual world, so Bell's counterpart must be somewhere in that world, or perhaps in our world? Personally, I think Peter knows something is wrong with Olivia, but it may not be totally conscious in his mind. <br /><br />Funniest line, when Walter says he has to go to the market for more cocoa beans, and calls Astrid, "Aspirin".Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474623954925835867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-12461389037906087402010-10-01T11:58:17.604-04:002010-10-01T11:58:17.604-04:00Awesome recap and analysis, as usual! And not only...Awesome recap and analysis, as usual! And not only Nikki. Page48, I really enjoyed your insights, too. Just a few things I want to add:<br /><br />I would amend what you said about firing the gun right by Peter’s head. It didn’t merely run the risk of permanently damaging his hearing. It DID damage his hearing. I think the risk involved was possible total deafness. But Peter is so brave! He took one for the team.<br /><br />EVERYONE jumped when that head exploded. They made it unnecessarily loud, which always irks me. I’m reminded of the time I first saw “Spiderman” in the theater. At the moment the spider bit Peter Parker’s hand, there was a loud, crashing noise that made everyone jump. It’s so manipulative, and I don’t much care for being manipulated. But I still enjoyed “Spiderman”, and I still love “Fringe”.<br /><br />Trip to the dictionary. I didn’t know the word remuneration, because it’s so common for people to say it wrong, renumeration. I’ve gone my whole life not knowing the difference, so I learned a new word today.

One way to tell them apart is that Altlivia is the one who murders hearing impaired men sitting at ‘her’ dining room table. I don’t ever want to catch our Olivia doing that. Frankly, I didn’t ever want to see Altlivia doing that. If this is indeed a war, then, regardless of how they do things Over There, this makes Altlivia a war criminal. Not the way I hoped this would unfold. No wonder Charlienate thanked Olivia for not shooting him last week. He meant it.<br /><br />At least Broyles had tingling spidey senses tonight. He was the only one asking questions. Walter was in full clown mode (rapid-fire food and fart gags, refreshingly absent in last week’s blockbuster season premiere) and therefore had no time to have his suspicions aroused by a way off-kilter ‘Olivia’.<br /><br />Peter, on the other hand, should be ashamed of himself. Every word, every action, every mannerism exhibited by Altlivia should have resulted in giant red flags raining down on the playing field. Honestly, a non-drinking ‘Olivia’ pub dancing to Patsy Cline tunes and Peter doesn’t take a step back and ask himself WTF is going on with this woman?<br /><br />Altlivia has heard the story about Walter kidnapping Peter and causing unintended devastation Over There. She knows there isn’t any warring going on (not that she isn’t spoiling for one), so I have to anticipate that she comes around at some point, whether it’s because of her relationship with Peter or whatever else might happen in weeks to come. Notwithstanding the permanent (and disappointing) nature of tonight’s cold blooded gangland slaying, I hope there is something left of Altlivia’s character to rehabilitate before this is all said and done. I really wanted Alt-Fringe to eventually be a PART of the solution, not a major obstacle to it.<br /><br />I have to say that this "The Box" didn't hold a candle to the "Alias" "The Box". For one thing, this one didn't even try to use the word 'backwash'.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-33513954181419871462010-10-01T01:05:30.390-04:002010-10-01T01:05:30.390-04:00You missed the last glyph letter.
