It's weird, I can't copy sections of your post, I was going to quote the second last paragraph. Anna Torv plays them so well, I really miss Olivia too. I don't care for Altlivia at all, she's so unlikeable compared to our Olivia! It's a testament to AT's acting skills that there are such differences between two versions of the same people, when some actors manage to play the same character in movie after movie :-P
That bit at the end when we got a glimpse of Olivia was just amazing, I don't know who AT did that. But Olivia does not seem to be doing well, struggling for air or water is a good way of describing it. Poor Livvy :-( Peter was so angry - with good reason!- over how she is being treated again.
What was with the time line? There was a reference to it being just a few months since the soul magnets were giving to Olivia, but that was back at the end of season 1?
I am so scared about whether it will be renewed of not. I wish I had the money to pay for it myself, ha!
Huh, maybe something about my privacy settings keeps you from copying sections? Not sure.
Altlivia is totally unlikable. I agree. For awhile I wanted her with Lincoln Over There, but now I don't even know if I do because I don't actually like her all that much (I think it's horrible what she did to Frank -- in agreeing to marry him with such a big lie on her conscience).
But yeah, the stark differences between the two is a total testament to AT's acting skills.
I'm not sure about the time line...you're right about what Bell said about it being a few months ago...a mistake on Bell or the writer's parts perhaps?
I'm still feeling vaguely optimistic about thing...we will see how it does in this last run.
It might also be my firefox being glitchy, it's always coming up with something random.
Someone said somewhere that maybe Bell feels like it's been a few months ago because he's been dead for awhile?
I think Altlivia and AltLincoln are kind of cute together, but I don't particularly want either of them to be happy! That's mean of me but Altlivia did so many terrible things to so many people and even Lincoln was a jerk to Frank, blabbing about the proposal. They can stay side kicks and if either wanted to backstab the other, I'd be ok with that too.
I suspect though this week will make me feel some sympathy. We'll see :-)
I'm feeling more optimistic today. We can only hope.
I love how you mentioned the Faith/Science parallel. It was something I thought about while watching the episode, but my brain for some reason swept it aside while I was writing my review (It got too hooked on DW parallels and bromance, lol). But, Pinkner and Wyman really have an obsession on finding out and exploring where faith and destiny come into play, and whether or not that's an innately good thing. In Alias, in which they headed up s03-05, they asked the question of is it possible to fight fate, but they never really answered it. And I'm curious to see if they will follow through with answering it here

I don't just not mind your Milton quote, I FREAKIN' ADORE IT. I love Milton. <3s quotation. And I find questions of fate and destiny quite intriguing when done the right way, and Pinkner and Wyman are going about it perfectly (unlike a certain writer for my other obsession whom shall remain nameless).
And I agree with you completely on the idea of a divine plan vs predestination. It's much how I see things -- what kind of a loving God would predetermine that some of His creations go to Hell? Why would He create them if they would be determined to such a fate with no chance of changing that outcome? (I obviously don't ascribe to Calvinist views either, lol).
And I definitely seem time as a human construct. Now my brain is going to that whole speech Kate makes to the Green Lady in The Perilous Gard about how God holds all of time in His hands and lives all time simultaneously -- that He has no concept of God Past, God Present, God Future, or God Forever. He is just all the Gods at once
