  • Mystery of the man from the other side revealed

    Now we know the man from the other side was Walter from the other side. Which came in the ending of this episode. The case in this episode was alright nice to see Peter doing some rogue detective work to help the sheriff find her love partner which they did. I wonder how these events will turn out and is Walter father responsible for all these crazy stuff thats going on. Did he create these beings to find Peter. I guess there is always a price to pay if you upset the balance.moreless

    It took me a moment since I hadn't seen Martha Plimpton since an episode of SVU to figure out it was Stef from Goonies.

    This episode focused on Peter and what he does to help solve cases without his father or Olivia to help him or for him to help them.

    Do people even know what mixed cds & tapes are considering our digial age of downloads?

    And are we now going to have Fringe posters like the X files "I want to Believe" but instead they say "find the crack"? And who else had a flash of Peter being Walter while he was holding that needle towards Mathis?moreless

    ...I guess we knew it was coming at some point, but I never expected the original Walter to be behind the other-wordly sightings of tonight. And at first glance, I don't think he's going to take no for an answer when it comes to Peter's next move, nor is he going to be particularly forgiving of Walter number two.

    It was nice to see such a strong episode for Joshua Jackson, and there is nothing like a serial killer to keep the viewer on the edge, especially when the serial killer is assumed to be from another dimension, and then turns out to be your average, garden variety serial killer of this world. I guess now we have to see if Olivia and, shall we call him "Walter B"?, will make it to Washington State in time to prevent Peter's true disappearance.

    I'm betting the chase will go well beyond Washington State...moreless

    I don't understand. Brown betty was kind of bonus episode. After that, again?? I have been waiting great episode after the fair scored episode. There was nothing great and emotional scene except appearance of Walternate. I tried to watch this episode twice. But I felt everytime boring. Eventually, I watched. Still feeling disappointment. But I hope next episode will be great and emotional and I will be in adrenaline rush. Poor Peter has to make a hard choice. I think everybody is in side of our walter. But Walternate and Newton have done so many awful thing to innocent people. It will lead to let Peter choose our Walter. I hopemoreless

    I thought for awhile that JJ Abrams may have channeled his inner Lost and Peter would be the only star to appear in the episode but eventually Walter and Olivia showed up.

    This episode reminded me of the town with the deformed people episode from a few months back with the small town sheriff going along with Peter and finding out just what he had been through.

    While it was a fun hour of television the ending is what made the episode for me. Not only was there a Peter from the other side, but now there is another Walter! This should be good.moreless
