Fringe: I felt like we got back towards it being Olivia’s story, so I’m not finishing bitter. Olivia Dunham: Excuse me while I power down a city and smash my enemy with the power of my mind! God, she’s still so amazing. Not to mention the return of some of the more memorable causes of death, though I don’t know why the Observer would see the same butterflies …
It was also good to see the alternate universe back to finish up. But it brought back one of the things I never understood: just WTF went on between Olivia and altLivia in the absence of Peter, in the new timeline? They seemed all huggy, which is hard for me to believe if altLivia infiltrated, even if in the new timeline she didn’t sleep with Peter. (Which our Olivia now remembers, while AltLivia doesn’t because she didn’t do it; good to see Olivia getting past that awkwardness.) So did it all go a ton better without Peter? That would make Walternate less likely to order the infiltration/impersonation. But even in the new timeline, Walter did steal Peter, right, thus triggering Walternate’s deep hatred? Peter just died when he was supposed to. Because otherwise how did the rift between the worlds get started in the first place? Or did Walter open the rift but not steal Peter in the new timeline, meaning that it wasn’t in fact his desire to save his son but his lust for knowledge that opened the rift and endangered the universes? Ugh, I am confused.
