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

I'm pretty sure I first thought it was the same two universes, but changed because of no Peter. Then I bought what Peter was saying - that he had to get back to a different universe, his. And now I think it really is the same two universes, but changed because of no Peter.... and now changing because of yes Peter. But I don't know that I think it will change completely back, because how and why. And the creators are so much more creative than I am that I'm sure it'll turn out differently than anything I come up with. I love this show.
I do think Walter is interesting -- he's clearly becoming more like our original Walter, but is that because our original Walter is bleeding in, or because Peter is just having a positive influence the way he did with original Walter?
And then there's Olivia, and who knows.
ETA: No, actually, maybe I think that Olivia's being messed with (and not necessarily because Peter's presence is changing anything on a grand scale) is why she's having life with Peter flashbacks.... but how?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Maybe it's Nina's doing?
If it's intentional, that raises more questions...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For some reason it is now important to me that we leave this universe behind. I didn't realise it until I read someone saying that if we never see them again, this was all a waste of time, and I just disagreed so strongly. Firstly, I think a good story is a good story, so that can be enjoyable in and of itself. Secondly, I think tracing the arc of how Peter's affected these new people is perfectly valid, even if we don't stick with it forever.

I feel like we will end up with our original people, the ones we started with. No idea how, though. But maybe they'll subvert all that.

Yeah, but are there fish in Reiden lake?

Thrive to spite them
I'm caught up on Alcatraz, I watched it while I was sick yesterday.
Although because I was sick I don't know how much I retained, but I'm interested in and it keeps drawing me in. Like Ray really being her uncle and knowing about the 63s.
One thing I'm not clear on - does Sam Neil's character know Dr. Beauregard is from 63?
