selenakIn which a possible future of humanity is revealed, and it is bald.
Also apparantly without women, and with a early 20th century fashion sense. Look, if we develop into Time Lords, I should hope we get to be the multicoloured outrageous hat variety at last. Ah well, September said "one possible future".
This episode had me frowning a lot and then not anymore, as the seeming emphasis of romantic love over family love was revealed to have been a cunning plan of Olivia's as she had figured out she was being tricked re: Nina. So I was good with that plot thread, but unfortunately September in the other one insisted on being an OTP shipper and ramble on about the destined love of Peter and Olivia (formerly Blue, currently Amber edition). Serves him right that Peter drew the wrong conclusions and is back to his "this is not my Olivia whom I am destined for, must further search for her" mentality of yore. (Unfortunately, this also means superflous angst inflicted on the viewers, which I'm so not for.) Also, young Mr. Bishop, a bit more reaction on hearing your kid got erased from the time line just so you could get with your One True Love (tm), if you please.
Astrid is still the best of them, with her keeping the father and son bickering to a mininum and everyone focused. Lincoln rapidly becomes second best with his partner concern. As to the current status of Ms Sharpe(s), right now it looks like:
- the Nina allied with Jones was Redverse Nina (though I suppose she could also have been a shapeshifter replacing Redverse Nina, but that would be overcomplicated even for Fringe)
- currently-under-arrest Nina is the one who raised Olivia
- however, whether or not she also works with Jones is up in the air.
One of my concerns from last episode is thereby settled, i.e. since the Nina in the cell with Olivia was Redverse-pretending-to-be-Amber Nina, the fake looking set up of her being tied as if captured only recently makes sense. Since, you know, it was a fake. Which Olivia figured out as well, bless her.
Now: I am displeased at the thought of another hiatus before the next bunch of episodes arrive. I am even more displeased at the thought of the remaining season revolving around Peter Bishop's romantic angst, so please, please, please, show, don't do that. Letting it revolve around Olivia's Cortexiphon powers and corresponding mindmessing issues is okay, though.
