I saw her again last night
Dear Fringe, logic: you cannot haz.
1. If your victim lives outside the city, and rides the commuter rail, how come her driver's license says she lives in Boston?
2. If the Translucent Man is stealing heavy metals from the bloodstream, then why would he target an anemic? (We're to understand that Agent Stargate's Crohn's Disease causes him a vitamin deficiency.) Even if he's only borderline anemic and taking iron preventively, surely there are people out there with more iron in their bloodstreams, no? Jump somebody leaving a steak house, whydontcha? Or better yet, mention that he was recently diagnosed with hemochromatosis (too much iron in the blood, a genetic disease).
Okay, the rest of the episode was fine. It took me a while to twig to the fact that Lincoln Lee's glasses are presbyopic in addition to being too small for his face, and they make his eyes seem much bigger than they are. This explains why Our Lee is so much more of an anime character than AlternaLee.
Astrid looks great! She should wear purple every day. And go into the field every day. Even if she has to wear gigantic high heels to be able to fit into frame with all the tall people around her.
I have to admit, I like the sardonic attitude in Alternalivia. It makes her that much less assailable, her belief that her world is the right world, the wronged world, more ironclad. She barely paused when she saw Our Lee: he doesn't matter. She's got her own Lee to worry about. She obviously gets a kick out of yanking Ourlivia's chain, and Ourlivia plays right into that with her righteousness. Their difference in attitude is easier to see as the product of the worlds they've lived in: Alternalivia in reality-chaos, out of the frying pan into the fire, loyal people but not to ideas. Ourlivia forgot her cortexiphan powers and believed in the laws of physics, and has spent her life with that bedrock to rely on.
The Observer intrigues me. The idea that he had no character, that he was silent and neutral and striving for balance, and the upending of that idea without a word. We know they do that sometimes. Or maybe only the once before. We know that lengthy and intense exposure to a single subject of observation can cause an emotional effect. I guess my big question is whether he's become attached to Peter or to Walter. On a first guess, I would say it's Walter.
