This is certainly one thing with which people seem to have an issue, and I think part of that stems from the fact that it means less of \u201cour\u201d team. \u00a0That being said, to anyone who has seen <em>Over There<\/em> parts 1 and 2, it is immediately evident how much time and effort has gone into creating the world of the Other Side, and to not see that built upon would be incredibly frustrating, at least to me. This is probably one of my favourite examples of world-building given that it is so close to our own, and yet unmistakably different.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Fringe on Fox\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fox.com\/fringe\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17226\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/18-Alternate-NYC1-576x324.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/18-Alternate-NYC1-576x324.png 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/18-Alternate-NYC1-256x144.png 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/18-Alternate-NYC1.png 1012w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>The Other Side<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">There is also the fact that alternating episodes allows more justice to be done to each storyline. That is, if the episodes were split between our side and Theirs, we would basically be getting two half-hour episodes, given that, at this moment in time, there cannot be that much cross-over between the two universes. I imagine that there will be some episodes where we\u2019ll see both Universes, but I like that we can look forward to robust stories being told from each side, and, in doing so, get to know the people from the Other Side better.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Quite frankly, along with the switching of the Olivias, I think that this is the best way to accomplish the oft-stated goal of humanizing the people from the Other Side. We have heard from the writers, producers, and actors that one of the major goals this season is to humanize the people on the Other Side, to make their actions justifiable in our (the viewers\u2019) eyes. I\u2019ve heard from some people that that will \u201cnever happen\u201d, that there\u2019s no way that they could side with the Others over our characters. And yet I think that this could happen far more easily than you would expect.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Fringe on Fox\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fox.com\/fringe\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17227\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-faceoff1-576x342.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-faceoff1-576x342.png 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-faceoff1-256x152.png 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-faceoff1-1024x608.png 1024w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-faceoff1.png 1036w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Olivia and AltLivia <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">In an <a title=\"EW Fringe Interview\" href=\"http:\/\/ausiellofiles.ew.com\/2010\/07\/26\/exclusive-fringe-video-spoilers\/\" target=\"_blank\">interview with EW<\/a>, Anna Torv mentions how similar Olivia and AltLivia are, down to the fact that not only did they end up in the same job, but that they have the same partner in Charlie Francis. This brings us to the crux of the issue: those characters on the Other Side really <em>aren\u2019t<\/em> that different from the characters that we\u2019ve come to know over the last two seasons. No, the Alternates aren\u2019t \u201cour\u201d team, but, for the most part, I think that in some ways they will prove to be incredibly similar. I can genuinely understand how it may come about that us viewers might be torn between the two universes much like Peter himself is.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Speaking of Peter\u2019s dilemma, in an <a title=\"IGN Fringe Interview\" href=\"http:\/\/tv.ign.com\/articles\/111\/1110643p1.html\" target=\"_blank\">interview with IGN<\/a>, Josh Jackson discusses that, to him, Peter\u2019s back-and-forth between the two universes felt too rushed; that he\u2019d have rather seen more deliberation on Peter\u2019s part with that decision. In some ways I agree: in the span of three episodes, we saw him choose between first their universe, and then ours. Yet at the same time, I enjoyed the pacing of the storyline, and the fact that we got so much pay-off from the build-up to finally crossing over, while still having so many unanswered questions and issues.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I am also particularly looking forward to seeing how the dynamic between Peter and Walter will progress now that Peter finally knows the truth. In some ways I imagine that it will be almost like a reset back to the beginning, yet at the same time they now have more baggage between them. For the first time in his life, Peter was actually willing to put his trust in other people, and both Walter and Olivia broke that trust. The relationship we saw them building was always rather unusual given that Peter was the one having to look out for his father; but now he has learned that Walter <em>isn\u2019t<\/em> his father, but he is a man who loved him enough to cross universes for him. Twice. So where do they go from there?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><br \/>\n<em>Swapping Olivias<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">As I\u2019ve mentioned, I think that the fact that our Olivia is stranded on the Other Side is a great way to go about making the characters Over There much more three dimensional than just simple \u201cvillains\u201d. In leaving Olivia there, we get to see the Other Side through the eyes of someone with whom we are already familiar, and I think that will go a long way towards making us identify with the Alternates. Not to mention the fact that with AltLivia on our side, the lines become even blurrier, especially as we see more of her interactions with our team.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Fringe on Fox\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fox.com\/fringe\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17228\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Musings-the-trio-576x359.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Musings-the-trio-576x359.png 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Musings-the-trio-256x159.png 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Musings-the-trio.png 882w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Family<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">In many ways I think this is where I\u2019ve seen the biggest negative reaction from people regarding the upcoming season 3, though that might just be because the shippers (i.e. people who want to see a relationship between Peter and Olivia) are simply the most vocal. \u00a0I\u2019ve mentioned in previous reviews that I tend to vacillate on the issue myself. A lot of the time I love the dynamic between the two as we\u2019ve seen for the majority of the series: more of a familial dynamic which, along with Walter, makes for some wonderful exchanges. And yet after <em>Over There<\/em>, parts 1 and 2, I found myself leaning more towards the side of a romantic relationship between them, given how well it was written and portrayed, and I liked that it was just a brief interlude in the episode, and not a centerpiece. This somewhat proved to me that they could address the issue of a relationship between Peter and Olivia without detracting from the major plots, which sometimes happens when a romantic relationship is finally realized between leads in a television show.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I guess the major issue here is the matter of a relationship between AltLivia and Peter. And I have to admit that this idea rather frustrates me, but more because it implies that Peter doesn\u2019t realize that AltLivia isn\u2019t <em>our<\/em> Olivia right off the bat. No matter how good AltLivia is at going undercover, long term impersonation of someone who, for all intents and purposes, she only met very briefly, cannot realistically be maintained. And even if AltLivia can carry off Olivia\u2019s mannerisms, she would have none of Olivia\u2019s knowledge about our side, and how could people not notice that? Needless to say, I look forward to seeing how that storyarc is played out. It also seems as though AltLivia is, in some ways, much more similar to Peter than Olivia is, and perhaps even more compatible, which should certainly make things\u2026interesting.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">On the other hand, I really do hope that we begin to see AltLivia softening her position on the people from our side. We know that she has been prejudiced towards them after being warned by Walternate that they are \u201cmonsters in our skin\u201d. But I don\u2019t see how she will be able to live amongst them, especially with our team, and not see them for the <em>people <\/em>they really are. Not to mention the fact that it will certainly blur the lines if AltLivia is becoming sympathetic to our side while Olivia becomes sympathetic to Theirs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><br \/>\n<em>The Promo<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Last week we got our first glimpse of season 3 when the first promo was aired, and, as always, it raises numerous questions. Will the shrink convince Olivia that she is delusional? From some of the set photos it certainly seems as though Olivia is working with the alternate Fringe Division, so does that mean that the shrink succeeded? Or does Olivia just fake it? Why would she work with Fringe Division otherwise? And then there\u2019s the fact that it certainly looks as though Olivia escapes from the confines of Walternate\u2019s prison. So how <em>does <\/em>she escape?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Fringe on Fox\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fox.com\/fringe\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17232\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Fringe-Division-Over-There1-576x355.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Fringe-Division-Over-There1-576x355.png 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Fringe-Division-Over-There1-256x157.png 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Fringe-Division-Over-There1-1024x631.png 1024w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Fringe-Division-Over-There1.png 1091w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><em>Alternate Fringe Division<\/em><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">One of my hopes for season 3 is that we\u2019ll see Olivia use pyrokinesis. We have known for quite a while that when she was 3 years old and in the Cortexiphan trials, Olivia was so freaked out after seeing the \u201cglimmer\u201d (the sign that something within our universe is from the Other Side) that she caused a massive fire. I really would like to see Olivia escape with the manifestation of this power. As a friend of mine pointed out, she shouldn\u2019t have superpowers, per se, because in some ways this would make things far too easy; if she couldn\u2019t <em>control<\/em> them, however, it would certainly be intriguing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><br \/>\n<em>The Alternates<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Speaking of the Alternate Fringe Division, I am also very much looking forward to learning more about AltBroyles and AltAstrid. We know from <em>Over There<\/em> that Broyles is still married, and I would like to see some of that relationship. I wonder if part of the reason the Broyles\u2019 are still married on the Other Side has to do with the fact that Fringe Division obviously operates much more publically. If AltBroyles\u2019 work is more tangible to his wife, perhaps she would understand why it is that he, I assume, spends such long hours at his job: apparently for our Broyles his wife couldn\u2019t accept his obsession with his work. But if Alt-Mrs. Broyles sees the results of what her husband is doing and that it is obviously important, perhaps she is more forgiving about his devotion to the job.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Fringe on Fox\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fox.com\/fringe\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17229\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Musings-AF-and-PB-576x358.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Musings-AF-and-PB-576x358.png 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Musings-AF-and-PB-256x159.png 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Musings-AF-and-PB.png 929w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>AltBroyles and AltAstrid<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">As for AltAstrid, there were certainly questions following <em>Over There <\/em>as to what exactly a \u201cLooker\u201d is, and why is AltAstrid one of them? In an <a title=\"NDB Media Jasika Nicole Interview\" href=\"http:\/\/www.blogtalkradio.com\/ndbmedia\/2010\/06\/17\/jasika-nicole--astrid-farnsworth-of-fringe--checks-in-for-the-investigaton-of-our-lives\" target=\"_blank\">interview <\/a>I helped guest-host with NDB Media back in June, Jasika Nicole revealed that AltAstrid is actually autistic, and that she was raised in something like a group home with other like-children. It seems as though Lookers are able to process mass amounts of data at once, which is why she was called in to help determine whether a quarantine was necessary, but <em>how<\/em> is she able to do this? It almost sounds savant-like, but the question is whether the children were savants to begin with, or whether they were somehow trained to be. It sounds almost analogous to the children in the Cortexiphan trials on our side. Could Walternate have been behind planning the training which the Lookers were given?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Ultimately, what it comes down to for me is this: the team behind <strong>Fringe<\/strong> has given us two seasons worth of a show which I love. So until proven otherwise \u2013 and maybe even then \u2013 I will trust that they are going to <em>continue<\/em> to produce a show which is a must-see for me every week.
