Yes, it was good and sad. And poor Peter trying to find his home.
I cannot believe that next week is the Fall finale. I mean, we just got it back!

I hadn't realized that these episodes were really arguing that it was a third, new, universe, not just a new timeline created by Peter's evaporation of himself by his use of the machine. ... and wait a minute, doesn't that argument contradict what the Observers said?
I'm confused.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I thought Peter had to resplit the universes and this one would go right. Not that he had to go home to a different one.
My god, Walter not loving Peter is heartbreaking. Walter not looking at Peter is heartbreaking.
Man, would the hiatus have been until January 13th even if they hadn't delayed by two weeks? I guess we're lucky, relatively.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Peter's absence changed things for both red and blue so it is a different timeline, not a different universe. I think it is confusing because of the way different universes have been explained. It's hard to define the difference between a alternate timeline and a alternate universe.
I don't think Peter needs to split the universes/break the bridge, but after his trip to the future I could see why he'd see the machine as the solution to his timeline problem. I still wonder how involved the Observers were in his non-existence.

I don't know if the return date has changed, but I do know one episode that was supposed to air this month has been bumped to Jan.

I didn't realize that was Root's real wife -- she was great.
It was a very emotional episode, one of the best they've done for that kind of drama.

Here's something I didn't notice. [link] I'm inclined to think that is JJ's ring, not Peter's.

I agree. He was naked as a jaybird days before. Where would he get jewelry?

Yes, continuity error not a plot point.
