Fringe S03E12 - "Concentrate and Ask Again" [** SPOILERS **]

Sad Professor

Decent episode, but I really didn't care for the final development.

Elohim

Ya it was decent alright. Yet again a small bit of story progression wrapped in a case involving a series of strange deaths, finally getting to be a bit formulaic?

Not much of a revelation at the end that he still has feelings for her. When was the last time the writers spelt out the future plot as blatantly as the scene with the guy in the bowling alley? It's all about his choice of which Olivia, a bit soppy really although not unexpected.

Sad Professor

Poor

It doesn't really make any sense. I mean is this really what it all comes down to? The fate of two universes decided by some bizarre love triangle? What if Peter chose neither? Or both? Hmmm. Maybe that's the solution - a threesome! :pac:

Am I the onl;y one who lol'd when Nina was going through William Bell's stuff and there was a Dr.Spock book?

I think they have done a really good job this year in making the more standalone episodes much better while still firing in some story progression to keep things moving. Thought the case in this one was interesting and overall was a solid episode.

Not buying the whole thing with yoda at the end. "Concentrate and Ask Again" ?

Nerdy fact

In "Over There, Part 2," at the Alternate Universe's Stanford Lab a blackboard is briefly shown. On this blackboard is the phrase "A Demon's Twist Rusts." This phrase can be anagrammed to say "Don't Trust Sam Weiss." Also, the glyphs from this episode spell out "W-E-I-S-S".

Solid enough, but Peter "vibrating" at a certain frequency will decide bouth universes fate?
I mean what are they tryna telegraph with the news that

Fauxlivia is preggers

I'll wait and see.

ixoy

Decent episode but really not fond of what they're proposing at the end. Lur-ve will save the universe (or destroy it) - really? The weapon is a Love Machine, baby. Hmm.

Nope - I did too. Nice little touch

The Black Oil

It was OK, some of the execution seemed a little sloppy and topsy turvy - the fairly break neck speed with which they found the suspect and the general feel of the episode. Hmm.

OT: Walter and Olivia throwing an American football.

I think that refers to one of the vague responses one of those magic 8-ball gives you.

Very good

i was kinda wondering what happened to sam weiss, and why nina and olivia found it so easy to trust him, is he one of the first people, is he an outcast of there society,

i think the love triangle is a bit to touchy feely and seems like a 12 years old girls plot device, i would have hoped they could come up with something a bit darker, still itll be interesting to see how it unfolds, and if walter will be willing to sacrifice his son to save our universe, if he picks altivia,

olivia was looking well fine in that dress, yet there something about her wearing a nice suit that can never be outdone by any dress (well maybe a night-dress:D)

Yep, the end was a bit disappointing indeed, but I am hoping there is more to it than just which Olivia Peter ends up "choosing". I wouldn't discount things yet, the writers have surprised me before with how they tie in various threads.

I'm also not very happy that the mind reader guy survived - I was pretty sure he'd die in the end after helping them out. The problem with keeping him around is that they now have a nice way out whenever they need to know what someone is thinking... The best part of his story was when he first encountered Walter at the cabin and read his jumbled mess of a mind - which Walter is so used to and comfortable with.

I wonder in a future episode will Olivia be faced with a decision to kill alt Olivia - or maybe take her place again?

Poor 'livia. I just wanna give that girl a big hug.

Heard fauxlivia is returning next week. Super excited.

Another good episode but it all felt a little too contrived overall to be a great episode.

Im pretty sure about 3 episodes ago when they were looking at the books that on one of the it was written by Sam Weiss? maybe im wrong but i said it to the missus when i saw it.

Saw on wikipedia that the show in America has been moved from Thursday night to the dreaded Friday night "Death Slot" and if they dont get enough live viewers for this season that they wont be making more. they also said the problem is 45% of the viewers are pre recording the show and this is not showing up on the viewerships figures. I will be sad to see them not make anyone

Wouldn't want to create a temporal causality loop

Hyzepher

I wouldn't be surprised if they dug up Peter's grave to find no one there.

It's back in the US only, on FOX - AFAIK, it will indeed be April for Sky One before it returns.
