Flip through the albums for some close ups - a lot of attention to detail in the covers and the props for this episode in general. It looks like the mid-80s JL is almost the same with only Jonah Hex replacing Guy Gardner, who should have been the Red Lantern I would guess.

Okay so this week the glyphs spelled W-E-I-S-S. Who is Weiss? I enjoyed the episode.

The bowling alley guy?

if not....what exactly is the bowling alley guy?

Anyone think Olive will burst into flames?

rfduncan

That's right. Hmm... but we haven't seen him in a while...

Where was the Observer?

I don't see how Alt-Olivia won't be found out within a week, her ignorance regarding the home team's recent activities will be very conspicuous. Our culture and history will pose problems too. This will be glossed over.

If her hair is naturally brown, her hair should give her away. Either she tells everybody else she wants to keep dying her hair brown, in which case the lack of blonde roots give her away, or she tries to dye it blonde, in which case the brown roots give her away. The writers will ignore this too.

Deftones

she can't just keep her regular color and say she liked it when she dyed it? people can dye their hair enough to keep the roots from showing.

Derrich

Both of Olivia's hair is naturally blonde, which is why Alt-Olivia had the hair dye in her apartment.

I'd think she'd brown keep it and say that she wanted a change.

ATX

wasn't alt.Olivia the one knocked out and reg.Olivia the one dyeing her hair?

aynrandgirl

I thought Olivia just went to a nearby store and bought some dye.

^Yeah, but our Olivia didn't have to go anywhere to get the hair dye - it was in AltOlivia's apartment.

Loved the Grumpier Old Men bickering when Bell and Walter first met and then their argument at KFC.

Peter said he liked the brown hair better, so I can see her keeping it. If this is the only nitpick, then mission accomplished on having a great season finale. I don't want this to turn into a Lost thread a few years down the line where we demand, WHY DID WE NOT GET ANSWERS TO OLIVIA'S HAIR ROOTS!!!! (Although, Damon and Carlton are free now, if they come over to Fringe, I'm out..ha).

You know it's funny, because there's something about Fringe that doesn't have me hanging on stuff like Lost does. The sense of deserving answers. Maybe it's because the "mysteries" aren't shoved down our throats or served up 20 at a time. Like the typewriter thing. Have we ever been shown exactly how that works with the mirror and junk? Like the scientific way it works? I can't recall if we have but last night I thought during that scene specifically that I don't even care how it works. On Lost I feel slighted if they don't explain why a picture is moved out of position.

Kal-El

I'm in the same boat of not caring how it works. However, after seeing how it is Over There, what if the typewriter room is part of the quarantined area? And since that's where the wormhole is, that's how they're able to communicate that way? Maybe Fringe Division found a workaround to use the wormhole to their advantage?

I also agree that Fauxlivia would find it hard to blend in Over Here. I think even Astrid would suspect her easily. But then again maybe the first half of next season is going to be all about that and the 2nd half start with Olivia's quest to come back.

Overall, great finale.

Now that's how you do a finale with a great cliffhanger.
Funny how this and Vampire Diaries had dobblegangers or the main characters that did a switch at the end.

Good stuff.

Although how he has anything to do with this episode is a mystery. To be answered next season?

Did anyone else think that the final Bell scene was a tad rushed and anti-climactic? Here is is giving his life so they can return and the whole thing happens with no drama whatsoever? Not even a final thank-you? Weird.

Best show on TV right now. Four months is a long time...

Some insight into the alt comic covers on the DCU blog.

Was there a scene I missed where she grabs it out of a cabinet? I don't recall a gap between beating up Alt-Olivia and dying her hair.

Deftones

awesome.

Kal-El

I never knew about the glyphs until today. Wow, something I'm going to need to pay attention to next season. I printed out the cypher.

DarkestPhoenix

I am really curious about the Red Lantern.

ATX

they're on some red shit right now, red is in style

The Alterniverse is flat-out awesome and the cliffhanger ending means we'll be spending plenty of time over there next season but boy could that "twist" have been any more obvious? And I hope they don't insult our intelligence by spending half the season with Fauxlivia going undetected. Her mannerisms and even the way she moves are so different that anyone even casually acquainted with Olivia would spot the doppelganger in seconds.
