    "While the Fringe team tracks down a girl who can predict the future, Olivia tries to cope with the message given to her by the Observers"


    Was only an ok episode. Nothing really interesting happened at all. A little banter about the observers. Thats probably the only bit I enjoyed.

    I thought oh god not a mosnster of the week, but it was interesting and I liked the girl and her family and the evil Nina bits aswell as the much touted observer bits. but it was a prity meh episode.

    i really wish oliva told peter about her chat with the observer, just to see if peter remembered going the future at the end of last season where walternate killed olivia, thats another interesting conversation i wished they talk about,

    thinking more about it it seems kinda odd the observer would tell her she has to die now, when in at least one timeline she lives for at least 10 more year,

    im looking forward to them having a go off the machine, hopefully itll be soon as next week is the halfway point, so id be expecting something to happen,

    also maybe with chuck gone we might get a boost in the ratings, id say if they could get over 4 million for the rest of the season itd stand an outside chance of getting a 5th season

    Yeah, it was OK...easy to pick holes in it, but not too bad.

    Next week's looks great.

    I was waiting for Peter to tell everyone who the MOTW father was but it turns out I just remembered him from Stargate or something. This alt-universe stuff is messing with me.

    As above, just ok this week. Rather run of the mill episode with not really anything new, just some retreading of the old.

    It was a good episode, but with the last two having been so good I wasn't expecting this week's to keep up. I really liked the end though with ominous observer standing outside.

    Last weeks was brilliant, and i also really enjoyed this weeks. Slower, but with some very interesting scenes. Having a 'bad guy', other than Walternate is brilliant, and Jones is really good for the role. Delighted to see him back.

    I'm assuming the 'migrane medicine' that Nina is going to send to Olivia is Cortexiphan?

    I thought it was an ok episode. It was a good enough mission-of-the-week episode, but it didn't do much for the plot, and if the show is ending this season, they'd want to start with more emphasis on the plot.

    On another note, big thumbs up from me on the eight Fringe episodes in a row. Most other shows I watch atm are on breaks every second/third Sunday, and Fringe being on uninterrupted is great, especially with how plot dependent it is. :)

    I am probably way off the mark here but didnt Walter do his tests on Olivia (when she was a child) BEFORE Peter died?

    Perhaps It wasnt Peter that was fated to die but Olivia. I reckon we are going to find out something about Olivia's childhood where she should have died but for some reason didnt.

    That might explain how Peter is still around, He was always meant to survive but if Olivia died as a child Walter wouldnt have done any experiments on her.

    I also think there are 2 Nina's. We have never heard about an alternate Nina afaik in all the seasons of Fringe so perhaps this is the season where we see her.

    I liked this episode.. No evil scientist just a girl with some weird chemical brain thingy. I also like how theyre still refering back to the main plot points, suggesting that Olivia has a purpose and once she completes it she will die..

    We never heard of alt Nina cos William Bell died in a car accident... shes probably some nobody lab assistant but it would make a nice contrast.

    Im not too sure what you mean bout olivia been fated to die cos she was supposed to die as a child... seems very out there.. I think shes going to die when the observers try to reset the balance!! Next episode looks so good though
