Interesting reveal in the conversation at the beginning of the episode:
"Wait a second! Is that.. that real coffee? Where did you get that?"
"I don't know... I have my sources. I have a cousin in Hawaii with a secret stash. She sends me some..."
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Also? before and after shots of the building are striking.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
"Wait a second! Is that.. that real coffee? Where did you get that?"
And that line makes more sense now! Yeah. I need to rewatch that scene.

I think Walter forgets about Peter's otherness in the heat of the challenge. And? Mind more Swiss cheesy than Sam Beckett's.

Also? Only two nondescript yellow taxi's in the exterior shot of the Manhatan building.
I also noticed that they have prominent hand sanitizing stations in the office, and it's used without a second thought. They also have global warming.
The coffee gives us a clue, but not a good one. Id the lack of coffee political, social or due to changing climate?
The other side seems to be ahead of us in technology, but not in years. (CD player in 1986, double-decker cars, etc)

I like how they expect us to keep up. Everything makes so much more sense knowing it was the other world.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay, I totally don't watch this show, but I had to laugh because I have a cousin in Hawaii who sends me coffee.
(eta: Does this mean I live in an AU? And does it have Pacey? Because I might be okay with that.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, as someone who considers real coffee the stuff she gets sent from Jamaica, that line went right over my head.
"Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn' t love you?"
Sorry. That line still comes to mind even now.

I was totally surprised by the almost kiss because I kept waiting for Olivia to see the glimmer on Peter. I'm not sure I buy the romance there, but they're both pretty, so I'd be okay with them being unclothed together.
Maybe Astrid will turn out to have a brother who disappeared as a child, and that way she can be more a part of the story.
