Every season, Fringe comes back as something slightly different than it was the previous season. I like this. The tone is much more morose (not overly, but slightly) this season. Poor Walter doesn't have his spark without Peter to give him joy in his life. He is like a depressive that is functioning but who has that underlying feeling of despair that leads one to irrational acts like the horrific one he attempted last night. You can justify any outlandish or desperate act if you don't really care about anything.
Olivia and Faux-livia/Bolivia are a highlight. Olivia doesn't even try to hide her disdain for Faux-livia, her perfect antagonist. I don't think we've seen this side of Olivia before. Of course we've seen her irritated but such outright dislike? New facet! I think Faux-livia gets a total kick out of getting under Olivia's skin.
Didn't Alterna-Broyles get killed? I suppose during all these corrections to the timeline his death somehow didn't occur...Faux-livia mentioned having a conversation with him in the 9/30 episode.
We like Lashes McGorgeous Eyes, aka Agent Lincoln Lee, in the Walter universe more than the Walternate universe. He almost represents the home viewer taking in all of this with a bit of wonder and disbelief. Plus with Agent Charlie Francis dead/MIA, he is very nice eye candy.
Have I mentioned I love the zeppelins? I love the zeppelins.
