[FRINGE] Reality be fragmenting at the seams

I was thinking something along those lines. Based on the medical tech we've seen so far it's pretty conceivable to think they found a way for autistics to work in a normal capcity.
She plays that role very rigid, but not cyborg way. She likes order, so when they talk about Broyles being missing you can see the confusion and a bit of panic in her face.

Where do i get the spiders put into my stomach to get her hot for me.
I hate spiders. but id do it for her.
Blood, not stomach.
Also, was she the scientist girl from SGU? Or is it just that all women look the same?
I looked on IMDB because I thought she looked familiar and I'm pretty sure it listed her as being in SGU.
It wasn't the same girl. I know the girl from SGU as the rogue angel girl from Supernatural
Does it also take a week to grow your hair from short-cut bangs to a foot long?
Pretty sure it's a wig. And it's atrocious. And her fashion sense is ridiculous. She dresses like some sort of military hobo.
Peter is going to decide he loves her and risk his life to cross over and run up to her and be all, "Fauxlivia! You're the one I truly looooOHHH, why the hell are you wearing a life vest on dry land? What? A jacket? Why is your tech so advanced when your fashion is stuck in the early 80s? Jeez, I'm... I'm sorry, I think I left my... oven on... yeah, gotta get back home, total fire hazard, sorry BYE."
Maddie: "I am not!"
Riley: "You're a marsupial!"
Maddie: "I am a placental mammal!"
Are you saying Peter isn't a fan of the Back to Future series, and wouldn't respond with a thumbs up and a hearty, "Marty McFiiiiine, baby"?
Now that I say that out loud, you're probably right. Nevermind.
Wow guys way to nail that one.
Not really... I mean, I would bet on her dying, so even though I like her more, it would come as no surprise if and when she bites the dust. I'll only be pissed if she dies like a bitch.
Although her partners Charlie and burnt face man are fantastic characters, they'll be hard to keep around if fuauxlivia is dead. I would be pissed if they bit the dust.

Yeap, same girl. She was in both of those as well as this Fringe episode according to IMDB.
Julie McNiven
And they are going to inhabit the same body, like Echo and Caroline (and eventually about 70 others) on Dollhouse
I wasn't suggesting it wasn't a wig, I was suggesting that since it WAS so atrocious that they should have had her actually dye her hair. I didn't even notice the bangs thing, though. Good thing I'm not her boyfriend... As for her fashion sense, though, what's wrong with military hobo's?!
whaa? Those 50's style glasses turn her into a less hotter version of what I'm used to seeing.
I feel like a rube who can't see through Clark Kent.
Now that I look her IMDB I see that hair was a brighter red than what I'm used to seeing.
Key issues: does Olivia still grimace-smile at everything that happens and is she still so dumb that they have to explain what an parallel dimension or spontaneous combustion is to her?
... and did they take 'NANOTECHNOLOGY' out of the crazy improbable fringe sciences in the opening credits?
I'm not actually trying to be snarky. :?
I'm with you 100%!
The first season is pretty bad, by comparison. The writers basically didn't make the show they wanted to make, hiding behind a goofy procedural about monsters of the week--they weren't even able to flesh out the characters, since the characters' most basic defining characteristics are heavily tied into the very sci-fi plot they were trying to pretend didn't exist.
Halfway through the second season they apparently said "fuck it" and exploded in a burst of creativity, creating episode after episode that bucked the tired formula they were using before, while explaining and deepening the characters, AND finally giving them some interpersonal drama, all because they decided to embrace being a kick-ass sci-fi show.
Season 3 so far has dropped the episodic experimentation, but has still been a very high-level show with an overarching plot and character developments that are reflected thematically in each week's storyline. It's extremely solid stuff, and some of the best on television.
To be honest you could probably jump right up to Season 2 and go from there; they discarded almost all of the plotlines and unnecessary character backstory they established in Season 1.
If you've only spotted that one, then you're doing much better than the rest of us. It's about half actual fields of science.
I wouldve loved more ambiguity from the start. As it is, we never know if alternate characters are being sincere. They are STARTING to show us that, but that was after months of mustache twisting and body chopping.
I guess I dont want to be conflicted at this point, I made my choice. It doesnt involve nappy red hair and rape babies.
On the other hand, though, there is jack shit for Peter over there other than Fauxlivia and that's paper damn thin. Peter had more reason to get away from our side than go to the other. He then came to his senses, so to think now he'd decide the other side is preferable is stretching it.
What happened to peter turning into a psychopath and killing people?
High-functioning autism (aka "Aspergers"). It's not all Rainman and bonking head against walls.
So, I've blazed through the first two seasons in two weeks. Why did I ever stop watching mid-S1 back when Fringe came out?
Recent ep: Yeah, good guy protagonists and all, but I couldn't get why they didn't at least entertain the notion of putting a cap in that old lady to stop shit from going down.
This music is being (preemptively) removed from the public domain; it's being stolen from the people."
Maybe because the amber doesn't technically kill you, it just sticks you in suspended animation forever so you might technically wake up again someday and find that it's the year 3000 and your new best friend is a bending robot.

Riley: "You're a marsupial!"

Also - good news - ratings went back up 7% to a 1.5. Which is still within the "We'll keep it around on fridays!" area.
The problem here is that alt fringe team would have deployed amber far before it got to the point where our universe's old lady was actually opening the vortex, resulting in no old man for her to pine for. Which would have ended the arc far before dramatic peak.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Walternate talks to Alt-Brandon about how it's a state secret that everyone in the amber is still alive.
Nothing? We haven't seen anything indicating he's not still pissed off over everything, he just had nothing to go on and then had more immediate and/or positives things like Olivia to deal with. Hopefully he's still as ruthless when needed. I do wonder if they'll use that to throw a kink into the relationship before they get around to the baby-bomb now that they've seemed to work things out. They kind of sped right past that stupid note, which was surprising. So something is going to give... but it seems Walters pancakes did indeed work!
And I don't think Broyles was planning on Ambering a block of people. They were going to Amber an empty building I'm pretty sure, hence the "We have someone who won't evacuate.". Speaking of: The old lady was a little too accepting of the whole thing too quick. I guess they only had 45 minutes to work with her, but it would have been nice if they had sprung the 2 universes idea sooner and she was a little more "What the fuck?!" before getting to the acceptance stage.
Now what do you mean by that precisely? Accepting that it wasn't her husband or accepting that there was a parallel universe? Because I liked how they did the former (I was trying to guess what little detail would make her realize that it wasn't her Derek) but yeah, the latter was really too convenient.
