Nunca pensei que ia comemorar algo feito por alguém com uma camiseta do Brasil com o número 22.

Adorei o tom de azul do uniforme da Escócia. Mas o design parece que foi feito por alguém que lembrou que precisava fazer isso às 17h da sexta-feira.

when i say i like hiking, i don’t mean “eight mile backpacking trip with special gear and an emergency beacon” sort of hiking, i mean a three mile loop to go look at pretty things and then a huge brunch after.

[alphacrone]

this is in no way a slam on hardcore hiking, it’s very fun, but i mostly just need to lower people’s expectations when i say hiking is a hobby of mine

SE01E14 - Ability

Thing I’ll pretend never happened:

Jones opening that hole in the wall that will never be explained, or any of the unthinkable consequences of using the teleportation machine we’ll never see again.

Favorite foreshadowing moment:

I did not remember they talked about other universes so early on!

Walter saying, “the way to travel between them has already been discovered by beings much like us” over a shot of Olivia driving.

And considering later we find out Walter and Bell wrote it...

Well done, everyone involded, well done!

Most rewatchable scene:

The Markam scene. The guy has one scene in the whole first season and is able to do so much with it that they have to bring him back again at least one time every season.

Did I spot the Observer on my own?

Yep. This time they made it very easy for us.

This use of color had to be intentional:

It’s foreshadowing and use of color all at once, because while Walter is reading the part of the manifesto that talks about both universes and how it is possible to cross between them, there is a shot of Olivia where on her right-hand side there is a blue structure (no idea what to call that type of thing) and on her left-hand side a red Ferris wheel. She is in the middle of the blue and the red!

If anyone understood this / has a theory, please help:

Walter reads from the manifesto that the way to travel between universes had already been discovered by beings much like us. Were they just lying to create fear or being paranoid? Or is it just a plot hole?

Because based on what we will see later on, although more advanced, the redverse didn’t know how to travel between universes yet. When they send Walternate at the end of season 2, it is the first time they manage to do that with a human being. They were only able to send the shapeshifters before.

In the redverse, Walternate writes the ZFT only after Subject 13, which is when he learns about the alternate universe. So if in this universe the ZFT was written before Subject 13, the red verse didn’t even know about the existence of the blue one. If it was written after Subject 13, the redverse was still not able to cross over, so they could just being paranoid.

Your Alt-Livia is showing:

Her smirk after Markam says, “Well, he also says that you're just a friend, so...”

Also, the “To get a massage.”

And I need to mention that in S04E01, “I always button my jacket” Olivia clearly forgot about this era, because I’m straight and even I noticed how unbuttoned your shirt was, Ms. Dunham. That’s how redverse Olivia wears her shirts.

Random thoughts:

I’m glad this time they put subtitles for the German part.

For a moment I was confused if I remembered that scene because it had already happened in season 1 or because my brain was just remembering it from a few months ago.

Chekhov’s FBI agent. If they have a longer talk with a random agent, it’s very likely that person will die.

“The United States does not negotiate with terrorists.”

Those lines that are serious for the US audience and a really funny joke for everybody else.

Nothing ever rings a Bell to Nina, then she reads something for 10 seconds and drops a Wikipedia page worth of information. Just like the teleportation from Boston to NY, I’ve decided this is funny and I’m not going to complain about it.

Anna Torv is an excellent actress. But Olivia pretending to turn off that light box was really bad, no surprise Jones was not fooled.

Last episode I said I thought it was the first and only time we’d see Peter in a beanie. I was wrong.

Jones saying that he has faith in Olivia, something she does not have in herself, relatable for all of us for 5 seasons.

The bad part about really paying attention to colors is that I noticed that in the scene where Olivia is reading Jones’ instructions she is wearing a wine-red shirt, then when she sits in front of the light box she is back to the blue one with white stripes she was wearing in the rest of the episode up until that moment. Then when Jones is waking up, she is back in the wine-red one and stays in it until the end.

And by the way, this was the same continuity mistake that happened in S01E11 – Bound, even with the same shirts. Starting to think that they shot scenes from different episodes on the same day, or Alt-Livia was already here in season 1 and we did not notice before hehe.

As @wizardofahz said, this is an Olivia-centric episode. And those are usually my favorites. Especially because the only thing better than Olivia is Olivia with superpowers!

Not taking into consideration things that might be changed/forgotten later as the show progresses, and looking at it as an isolated episode, this is one of the best of season 1, and for sure one of the most important ones for the whole show.

For me, the only problem with this episode is that it made every standalone case-of-the-week episode seem more annoying, because so much is hinted at in this one that I remember being really anxious for the show to leave the procedural case-of-the-week format and go full-on sci-fi.

[joom89]

SE01E13 - The Transformation

Things I’ll pretend never happened.

The fact that, in the pilot, John tried to kill Olivia and accused Broyles. That’s the only way to make him being a good guy make sense now.

Also, those disks they take out of people’s hands. I don’t think we ever get a decent explanation for them.

Favorite foreshadowing moment.

I did not catch any this time. I think they were more interested in closing the John era, and I’m glad about it.

Most rewatchable scene.

“The one-half nipple rule?” “You just had to ask, didn’t you?”

Did I spot the Observer on my own?

As poorly photoshopped as last week. To be honest, I think they actually just pasted the same image Into that football field, because he is not even looking in the direction of the airplane.

Polivia shipper moment from Walter.

This week he was too focused on the porcupine man and the number of nipples to be a shipper.

This use of color had to be intentional.

The amount of blue in certain scenes must have been a choice. What they were trying to convey, I have no clue. If anyone understood this or has a theory, please help.

Is it clear to us why Massive Dynamic kept John? I know we’re kind of “whatever, go away G.I. Joe,” but I would appreciate some explanation.

Your Alt-Livia is showing.

Her saying “Greg is a jerk” to Rachel has a bit of it, but at the same time, Olivia is sarcastic with people she’s close to. So I would take this as another episode where I feel that we might be starting to settle into the final version of Blue Verse Olivia.

Random thoughts.

JJ Abrams has a thing with the number 47, and I always knew there were 147 passengers on the flight. But this is the first time I realized the airplane is also a Boeing 747! (I’m so proud of myself. It only took 15 years!)

I enjoyed Rachel being our representative for a moment and forcing Olivia to talk.

Peter joining Olivia on beanie team for the first (and last time, as far as I can remember).

I had to check if the nipple rule was true. And it is! You live, you learn.

Charlie is such a good friend! Yeah, he did not know Rachel’s name a few episodes ago. But still, he is such a good friend. And exactly the type of friend to match Olivia’s personality.

Sometimes I wonder if the reason they killed Charlie off and made Rachel and Ella vanish is because, if they had stayed as regulars, it would be hard to sell the whole “Olivia is a loner, she is closed off, she is not quick with a smile, she does not have a full life,” and so on. Because when she is interacting with them, she seems to me like just a typical introverted person. Quiet with strangers, completely “normal” (if normal actually exists) with people she is close to.

“Crazy things happen in Walter Bishop’s lab.” “Bishop’s House of Horrors.”

Not sure which is my favorite tagline.

A Samsung commercial! I only remembered we had Ford ones during season 1.

Olivia not letting them apply the tranquilizer to get the information she needed? Typical unhinged Olivia behavior. The kind of thing that makes you think that, if the "audit" was not being done by Harris, it would make sense, because this diva does not care much about protocol. But that’s fine. I support women’s wrongs.

SE01E12 - The No-Brainer

Thing I’ll pretend it never happened: Rachel flirting with Peter. Favorite foreshadowing moment: Not sure if this episode is so standalone that it doesn’t have any, or if I just wasn’t engaged enough to notice. Unless we take Peter being really good with Ella as foreshadowing of him being good with Etta (I know, I’m shameless overreaching just to have something). Most rewatchable scene: P: “Why don’t you focus on what you do best?All yours. Liquid brains.” W: “Oh, fantastic! I’ll get the bone saw.” Did I spot the Observer on my own? Nope, and I tried. But since he’s very poorly photoshopped, I’m fine with my miss. What’s odd is that I didn’t spot the Observer in the car chase scene, but I did notice that either they mirrored the shot in a bizarre way or the stuntwoman was driving a “British car,” because she was sitting on the right side. Polivia shipper moment from Walter: I’ll count him being worried about hearing them argue as a shipper moment. This use of color had to be intentional: Again, not sure if there wasn’t any, or if I just didn’t care enough to catch it. If anyone understood this / has a theory, please help: Was Olivia’s look at the end more of a “Hmm… interesting, he admitted he was wrong, that’s hot,” or a “Are you seriously flirting with my sister in front of me?” Your Alt-Livia is showing: I think we might be starting to settle into the final version of Blue Verse Olivia. Random thoughts: I know it’s early in the rewatch, but I’m confident this is the weirdest needle drop in the whole series. Single Ladies makes no sense in Fringe. In this episode, Walter says Astrid’s name correctly, which is something I’ll start paying closer attention to, to see if I agree with the guys from The Fringe Podcast Rewatch that, after a while, he says it wrong on purpose just to tease her. Second time we see Olivia looking at Astrid with a very impressed expression. Kind of like us every time we learn about her background. Ella, proving she is truly Olivia’s niece by going through something traumatic and life-threatening the third time we see her. 12th episode, and the second suicide in front of Olivia. “Every time that guy opens his mouth, I like him more and more.” Same, Peter. Same.

Sleepy, shirtless Peter is nice and all, but slightly drunk Peter saying “I’m sorry. You were right. Thank you”. That’s a real thirst trap. I’d say this is probably the weakest episode so far, and one of the worst in Season 1 in general. The case of the week has a mediocre villain with weak motives, Harris is just annoying (and very poorly developed), and we get yet another person from Peter’s past we’ll never see again. And to make it worse, it comes right after a really strong sequence of episodes. It’s the kind of episode you could skip and lose nothing.

SE01E11 - Bound

Things I’ll pretend never happened so I can like the show more: Funny that Charlie knows her birthday and seems to know why she doesn’t like it, but doesn’t know who Rachel is. Favorite foreshadowing moment:

W: We can always kill it, son. We can’t always bring it back. A: You probably could. W: That’s true.

I’m pretty sure that this early on, this was intended as a hint to the mystery of Peter being dead, which we learn about later in the season when we see his gravestone. But I think it’s funny considering that his alternate version will kill Olivia at the end of Season 3 and he will build a machine to bring her back. Then he will shoot Olivia at the end of Season 4 and and still save her life. And in Season 5 he travelling back in time will bring Etta back.

Most rewatchable scene: Olivia meeting Ella and Rachel. How she goes from serious, to loving aunt mode, then straight back to “I’m going to kill whatever did this to me” once she’s back in the elevator. Also, Ella is one of the cutest things in Fringe.

Did I spot the Observer on my own? Yes. When Olivia stops in front of Harvard to pick up Walter and Peter.

Polivia shipper moment from Walter:

W: I was worried, too, when you were taken. O: Thank you, Walter. W: Not as much as him, of course.

This is my favorite one in the episode because it shows he’s not going to let this go.

This use of color had to be intentional: There was a lot of blue and red in every indoor scene. Why? Don’t know.

If anyone understood this / has a theory, please help: Am I going crazy, or were they trying to hint at something shady related to Rachel? Olivia is very perceptive, and she asks Rachel, “Is there something else you’re not telling me?” The way they focus on her face makes it seem like she’s hiding something. In the The Fringe Podcast Rewatch they mentioned that back in the day there were theories about Rachel being ZFT or something like that. Does anyone here remember this?

Also, doesn’t Loeb know how important Olivia is to the David Robert Jones plan? I don’t think he would like the idea of her being killed.

Instead of asking his wife to kill her, shouldn’t he just send people to kidnap her again? Or did they only need the Cortexiphan they extracted from her?

Random thoughts: That’s probably the furthest we’ve gone into an episode before seeing the opening.

I really enjoy her quick thinking, even while escaping, she remembers to collect evidence and thinks about hiding it in case she’s captured again. Also, the fact that she grabbed a coat instead of leaving in a tank top, which would make no sense but would be very 2000s protagonist behavior. This was so good that I’ll ignore that her taking Walter and Peter to the place instead of simply bringing it to the lab, does not make sense to me.

I hate Sanford Harris so much I won’t even spend more characters talking about him. Looking forward to his death.

I’m really glad they dropped the whole narration-over-a-scene thing. It happened before in previous episodes, and even though it’s just two sentences here, it still made me cringe.

I loved how Olivia lied to protect Broyles. How these two went from adversaries to “we’ll never show affection toward each other, but we’ve got each other’s backs all the time.” Once again, I’m here supporting women’s wrongs, because trying to break into the house of the person you suspect abducted you while being watched by Harris is not your brightest moment, Olive.

A while back I had a little rant about how I think some inconsistencies in Olivia’s character in this first season are due to the writers not having her fully figured out yet, but also trying to make her “more likable.” And in this episode we see something that I think was done with the same goal, but this one actually worked. Not that I needed more reasons to like the character. To this day, I think the way she is makes complete sense, all things considered. I don’t think she’s cold, wooden, or stoic, like some people used to complain.

Ella! Her relationship with Ella works really well to show people who complained about her personality and acting how wrong they were. She’s such a fun aunt with Ella. And how she completely shifts in those moments, then goes back to being fully serious once she steps into the elevator. Anna was proving that, even though this was her first major role, given the right direction she could sell anything.

The downside of paying close attention is noticing that in the scene where Charlie shoots the slug in the interrogation room, she’s wearing a dark red shirt. Then at the lab she’s in a blue one with white stripes. Then cooking at home at that same nigh, back to red. Then in the next day she is with the same blue striped one when she visits Samantha and interrogates Loeb. A bit of time travel going on here.

ANNA TORV as OLIVIA DUNHAM — FRINGE 1.11 Bound

[joom89]

Re watch of the week.

[joom89]

SE01E10 - Safe

Brace yourselves because I really like this one, so I watched it while taking notes in my notebook. Because I’m a millennial and serious note-taking can’t be done on a cell phone.

Things I’ll pretend never happened so I can like the show more:

Massive Dynamic keeping John there for reasons that will never be explained.

Favorite foreshadowing moment:

Walter saying he was once in Baltimore as a throwaway joke, and later we learn he owns these boxes.

Peter not remembering his toys, and a bunch of them being red!

Most rewatchable scene:

The whole scene in the lab, with Walter explaining the “science” with the rice; Olivia coming in casually saying she was working and dropping information about the case; Peter saying he was buying rice for Walter’s toy; Olivia hearing something about “radioactive” and automatically thinking about how to use that in the investigation; saying she is going to a bar to keep investigating things; Peter following her; and Walter doing the toy demonstration again just because he likes it, asking Astrid if she wants to join, and her deadpan “nope.”

We move the plot forward, we laugh, we see how brilliant Olivia is, and we get the 4 main characters interacting. All in one scene. That’s peak Fringe for me.

I know for most people the most remarkable scene from the episode is the bar one, but I’m a sucker for the moments where the 4 main characters interact in the lab.

Did I spot the Observer on my own?

Yes. This time, either they were too lazy to try to hide him, or they thought, “Let’s show him right at the beginning, when people are not focused yet, to make them spend the rest of the episode looking for him.” Because it’s almost the first thing we see.

Polivia shipper moment from Walter:

We had a small moment of it in the second episode, but from now on is when I think Walter becomes really invested in it.

“Oh, do you two want to use the room?”

By the way, Olivia’s expression this time was not her standard mouth acting when Walter says something very Walter. It was this emoji: 😏

This use of color had to be intentional

I’ve never seen a hardware store have essentially only red, blue, and yellow in it. I can’t see a connection to the plot, but it must have been intentional because it’s not realistic.

The jerseys of the toys from the American football teams being one team red and the other blue. A hint about the universes that will compete against each other?

And again, the toys that Peter does not remember being mostly red!

If anyone understood this / has a theory, please help.

Did Nina know about the whole Olivia and John Scott in the tank thing? Because would they jump to “they must have shared consciousness” without knowing that?

Did Walter actually forget that he switched Peters, or is he telling a half-truth here while being conscious of it? Was this whole story about trying to travel back in time to find the doctor who could save him an extremely elaborate cover story, or at some point did he actually think about that?

This device has some similarities with the one he used in Raiden Lake (like the three metal rods and that blue tub thing), but it’s not exactly the same one. Is this just a plot hole and I’m overthinking it?

When Walter said he hid those boxes, he said he was convinced he was being followed and that someone was watching his every move. Is he talking about the Observer/September here, right?

Your Alt-Livia is showing.

The whole flirting with the bartender to get what she wants and “Is that a dare?”

It’s funny, because in my mind, when she is doing the card trick and talking about being a weird kid, that’s Blueverse Olivia. But the rest of the time (even the voice and the speech cadence) is the one we’ll see with Alt-Livia in season 3, and completely different from what we see in Olivia in other situations.

Maybe Alt-Livia not drinking was intentional, to make us not think that this was already a glimpse into the Redverse hehe.

Random thoughts

I like the sci-fi bank heist in the beginning. For TV CGI from 15 years ago, it holds up pretty well.

After the episode where we see her almost going out with people we’ll never see again, we have a dialogue about her never having had a best friend, being called “Han” in boarding school, and Peter having a best friend we’ll never see. And then, in the bar scene, she knows the license plate of her best friend from high school by memory. Pick a lane, writers!

From all the John-related things, Olivia mixing her memories with his, like it happens in this episode, is the only part that I actually enjoy, because it makes sense (as an in-universe bizarre Fringe thing). If they had never brought him back to try to redeem and badly explain how he was not a bad guy after we see him trying to kill her in the pilot, and had only kept this bit of her having hallucinations and mixing her memories with his, I think I would have had no problem with the John plot. It would be kind of cool actually.

Also, Olivia dropping that she is mixing her memories with John’s, Peter and Walter getting concerned, Walter saying he needs to look into that, and Olivia going, “Yeah… yeah… I’m losing my mind, but first we need to figure out what happened here.” Olivia being Olivia.

I love David Robert Jones. He is the stereotypical Bond villain, but I’m a simple girl. He has a Hannibal Lecter vibe that makes him one of the most memorable things in an episode, even if he has very little time on screen.

The bar scene. This was the moment that even 19-year-old me, who was even worse at reading social cues, noticed that they had chemistry. And I’m pretty sure that the card trick is what made People go from finding her hot to having a serious crush.

By the way, did he bring a deck of cards with him? Or was he ripping apart the one from the bar? That’s not nice, guys.

The doctor being very ethical, following procedure, and saying no to Olivia’s request for personal information without the proper documentation was kind of nice to see. I honestly did not remember that everything would get solved by someone who loves to gossip. I know it seems very plot-convenient, but we all know someone at work who would totally do that, don’t we?

The way that Peter jogs Walter’s memories 🥰

We even have Gene in this one!

Just by the number of notes, it’s clear that this is my favorite episode from season 1 so far. It ties things we saw before and sets things up for future episodes, and has an amazing cliffhanger.

My kind of 45 minutes of television.
