Fringe:

Walter, you are a sick fuck.

Also, I'm very confused. Did she cross over? I thought one difference between the two universes was that Walternate didn't do the cortexiphan trials, which is why Fauxlivia couldn't do what Olivia could do.

This is all very confusing. Did Olivia cross over in Walter's office? Or not?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Yes. That's how Walternate ended up with her drawings.

But how did he know who she was, if he didn't do the cortexiphan trials?

I don't think he knew who she was. Some strange girl just showed up in his office babbling about another universe and handing him a picture of his son, so he put two and five together.

All is well that ends in pizza.

And then she disappeared in front of his eyes.

That's gotta be jolting.

ION: Smallville

Filler episode, for the most part?

What happened to his decision to wear glasses last week?

Lucky lemur? Who has a lucky lemur?

Is the lemur still in the closet at the Kent farm?

I wonder whether Walternate had ever specifically pondered the existence of another universe; he didn't seem to consider that a possibility when trying to understand why the kidnapper looked and sounded exactly like him. But given that he's Walter(nate), I don't think it's a leap that he would jump to that line of reasoning after the incident with Olivia. Which is so very cool.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Fringe: I liked the episode, but I'm trying to figure out what the point of it is since non of the major players seem to remember those events, other than Walternate. Also, did we know about Olivia's stepfather before this episode? And I can't remember if Walter's wife is still alive in the alternate universe.

I'm wondering about the memory issue too, sj. As for Olivia's stepfather, I was reminded that Olivia shot him (but didn't kill him) when she was nine. There was a first-season episode about that.
