Could've Been Better

8.0

By Avataress0, Jun 06, 2012

I had high hopes for the season finale, but this episode could've been way better than it was. I still enjoyed it, but I'm pretty sure that everyone knew that Olivia was pregnant if they had seen the episode with the Observer takeover.

You All Need to get a Clue

6.0

By lawrencepd, May 28, 2012

THIS William Bell is not the same as the one we knew in the "real" timeline. We already know that Olivia and Peter are going to have a child based on the prior episode. "September" re-appears and we were already aware of his significance and his ability to travel in time. So, just like Dr. Who, he finds out about events which he hasn't done yet. Finally, the "cliffhanger" was that Olivia was pregnant?? Well DUH!!!!! WE ALREADY KNOW!!! HOW does this advance the story line??? I think it was a decent episode, but hardly a season finale. I'm more than disappointed.moreless

"They are coming"

9.0

By AveryPaul, May 20, 2012

I think September was referring to the events that took place in episode #20 in which the Watchers took control of Earth. The "other" Watchers are coming is what I think September was telling Olive and Peter.

Pretty Good

7.0

By yotimi, May 18, 2012

What could have actually been a pretty decent and somewhat satisfying series finale gets a seemingly rushed two minutes tacked on the end just to satisfy that need TV dramas have for cliff hangers. It was a pretty good episode overall and definitely entertaining, but oh my was there some atrocious writing, especially in that terrible helicopter scene. Did the writers study every sappy cliche in the last 20 years of movies and choose the most cringe worthy lines?moreless
