For those who, like me, bounce for promotional promotional always looking for the next step, this fourth episode was awaited with great expectation. They promised us these small seconds by which those huge salivate minutes from the start of the season. They sold that moment. And ultimately what we bought?
After all the promise was fulfilled. The great moment has been revealed and, because of its importance, is that he started the conversation. Olivia (Anna Torv) finally remembered his meeting with William Bell (Leonard Nimoy) - about as we talked about - and it was really a fantastic scene. Since the color, to the temporal interruptions, through the voice of the legendary Nimoy, all engaged in a unique and seductive aura. We wanted to carefully squeeze every bit of information, each frame that is left to flee before our eyes, and we learned was this:
The forces of another universe created the shapeshifters to fight this battle and this front is titled the "First Wave". What do you mean that these hybrids that mix meat and mercury, are just a taste of what is to come.
Not everyone can pass through life to another universe. Hence the creation of this kind of soldier who is tougher. Even Bell himself accuses serious health problems.
The shapshifters are looking for someone who can open a portal between two worlds. Hence the demand of the head with this symbol. We see at the end that the search was successful and that this valuable life be won.
Of all the children that they prepared, Olivia is the strongest. Bell claims that she is the guardian of the portal.
Ring the bell and come back to reality. These were the answers given. Issues are, of course. After all, why the two universes are at war? Who started all this and why? Does the fact that Walter (John Noble) has kidnapped the "other" Peter (Joshua Jackson) had unimaginable consequences? Where is Bell the other universe? And so on, until we realize that we have to wait. One thing is certain if the two worlds collide one of them will disappear. Word of Nina Sharp (Blair Brown).
The rest of the episode had scenes very well devised, of which I highlight the times when the demand for shapshifter head right and Charlie (Kirk Acevedo) drinks desperately mercury thermometers. It was the final farewell of the character, the actor, and maybe a new phase for the series itself, which is now a range of new cards on the table.
Despite the central moment and the whole mythology around the shapshifters - inevitably reminiscent of the "Terminator" - lacked some pace throughout the episode. The whole storyline of Walter and his old guinea pig was a huge waste of time. Served only to recognize that Peter reported on without any new data or disclosure. And why all that work in the bowling with an Actimel worm thing was once the site? And without sounding too boring, where is Agent Jessup (Meghan Markle)?!
The best: The long-awaited meeting with William Bell.
The worst: Walter ask to his son if he could go dating.moreless
