Fringe - Immortality comments

There was a twist on Fringe last night, and the way it was hyped, you would have thought it was going to be a really big deal. But it’s actually pretty soapy and not a surprise, because everyone has speculated about this possibility. Fauxlivia is pregnant with Peter’s baby. Like Peter needed another reason to choose Fauxlivia and the other universe? He still loves Fauxlivia, she’s more fun than damaged Olivia, she’s better looking with that darker hair, Peter is from that universe anyway, and now his baby is over there. They are rightly calling this a game changer, even if they overhyped the twist. If Peter picks real Olivia, and the other universe is destroyed, he destroys his kid too. Olivia had better crawl over there, perform a C-section in a couple of months, and drag that baby back to our place.

We feel so bad for Olivia right now. Oddly, we feel bad for Fauxlivia’s now ex-boyfriend too. We kind of like the twist and hope the baby is carried to term. Did they have to devote an entire episode to this though? We were a little more interested in the bad guy, Dr. Anton Silva. He had an obsession he was willing to kill for, and that was to have his name remembered along with great scientists, even if he would not be there to enjoy the fame. His last words were perfect. Also, Walternate has an Asian mistress. How funny would it be if she turned out to be the key to it all or something? Ha. We missed Peter this episode, but it was about as entertaining as an episode about characters we are not rooting for can be. In fact, we think it made us like Fauxlivia even more. She was really honest with Frank in the hospital. That should count for something, right?

Episode Grade: B+
