"In one episode we get bored without smiles. Only with the assurance that if this was the trump card of the season and then we can start to cry. "I said last week. I had never been mentioned but the circumstances so require. To prove not only that I can fool myself badly (where is my faith?), But also "Fringe" can in the twinkling of an eye over the beast beast.
After a "Midnight" that promised a lot and ended up giving too little, we got to the episode that, without much fuss, gives us the most genuine juice of this universe. The road begins to be clearer and there is the clear choice of a path, a theme. And this is where, or if he jumps off, or if the series definitely embraces. I, as a fanatic who has everything to do with the weather - not the weather, but the continuous - embark on the journey, not a little kid. From "Sliders" who longed for the return of parallel dimensions, those due to the fact that a simple change everything is brutally different. Well, my wait is over.
The episode starts to prove immediately that this is not a filler. Again we return to the hunt group ZFT, now supported by revelation (obvious) that William Bell is involved in this organization to the neck. Alongside the most watched a guy, subject to the bizarre and deadly experiments. A girl catches fire and explodes spontaneously. The team then begins the investigation protagonists each drawing on their wisdom:
Olivia (Anna Torv) starts having strange visions. Sees a different reality for a moment from our own, very similar but with distinct elements. These moments invade it for minutes and then return it to the real. Instead of a carbonized body sees two and instead of a building serene sees the same burning. Caught in these strange phenomena decides to start using them to solve the case at hand. The option comes out to be the right one: save the girl and discovers that even his superior Sanford Harris (Michael Gaston) is involved (ie a rather startling revelation!). At the end accountable with Walter (John Noble) and gives us the certainty that this ability to look at such "roads not chosen" is in fact his skill, his extraordinary capacity, product trials suffered as a child, who is coming to a head. Although not yet have realized the usefulness of this power in a possible war, I was completely surrendered to all the scenes in which she gives the "jump" to the other side and I was so sorry that had been so few. These are moments of pure fiction betting without fear in a narrative complex and difficult. A narrative that leaves us pondering the rest of the day.
Peter (Joshua Jackson) also showed that after one knows fringe science things and it was thanks to the device that the girl was saved. A contraption he had built for his father. It was another good invention, a character who I think will have a crucial role in the unfolding of it all. As I said I have a strong suspicion that he was also the subject of experience as a child and that his power should be just around the bust.
Walter reveals that he has a copy of the ZFT manifesto with a chapter on ethics that is not in the police version. Someone withdrew these pages to give the wrong idea from the words of Bell. The memory of the old scientist is not the best but in the end there he finds the object of the search, at the time the observer arrives and tells him it's time. What? I have no idea. Just know that Walter knows more of what it says, or rather Walter in the middle of crazy brain has clear idea of what happens and will happen.
The trio add to this fantastic event can join the wink to the "Star Trek" (the next episode will see why, but do not know already) and shot (fatal or not) to Nina Sharp (Blair Brown).
The die is cast and the cards are on the table. Each pawn in the right place. Come on the final gamemoreless

QUOTES (8)
ADD QUOTES-
Walter: It's possible we're dealing with a case of spontaneous human combustion.
Peter: I thought that was just a myth.
Walter: Oh, a myth is just an unverified fact. -
Walter: Matter is just energy waiting to happen. The average adult at rest contains enough potential energy to explode with the force of five very large hydrogen bombs.
Peter: You know, theoretically, you're actually right.
Walter: Ho ho ho ho! My son finally agrees with me. Agent Farnsworth, take a note of that. -
Astrid: You know, Walter, working with you, it's amazing the sort of things you get used to.
Walter: You're not the first person to tell me that. -
Walter: I was prone to hide things because I was afraid that someone would unlock all my secrets. I didn't realize the someone would be me.
-
Walter: Lab rule #1: Do not borrow Walter's equipment without asking.
-
Olivia: I feel like I'm losing my mind.
Walter: Oh, I don't think so. If you were actually going insane, you'd likely have no idea what's happening. Take it from me. -
Olivia: What process?
Emmanuel Grayson: To create super soldiers.
Olivia: Super-soldiers.
Emmanuel Grayson: Yes. Like Khan Noonian Singh.To defend us in the coming war.
Olivia: What war?
Peter: I'm sorry. The Khan?
Emmanuel Grayson: Yes.
Peter: As in The Wrath of...?
Emmanuel Grayson: Yes.
Peter: Let me guess. This war, it's against...
Emmanuel Grayson: The Romulans. Renegade Romulans from the future, here to change the timeline. The sworn enemy of the Federation.
Peter: The Federation. That would be the United Federation of Planets.
Emmanuel Grayson: Yes.
Peter: Hmm. And you know this because?
Emmanuel Grayson: I am the son of Sarek.
Peter: Which makes you Spock.
Emmanuel Grayson: Yes.
Peter: Well, Mr. Spock, thank you for your time. We'll let you get back to the bridge now.
Emmanuel Grayson: Live long and prosper. -
Walter: I've seen this woman before. Why does she look so familiar?
Peter: Maybe because you dissected her twin sister yesterday. Remember? Blond girl about 5'7". Really well done. Melted fillings.
Walter: Oh, right.

NOTES (4)
ADD NOTES-
Music: Traveling Riverside Blues (Robert Johnson)
-
Injoke: When viewing the charred remains on the street, Walter is holding a Slusho drink. Slusho is a fictional beverage created by J.J. Abrams and has appeared in the TV shows Alias and Heroes and the movies Cloverfield and Star Trek (2009).
-
Injokes: As well as featuring a sneak preview commercial of the Star Trek movie directed by J.J. Abrams that premiered three days after this episode first aired, there are several references to Star Trek. Emmanuel Grayson has the same last name as Spock's mother, Amanda Grayson, he refers to himself as Spock, son of Sarek, and he references both Khan Noonian Singh from the original series episode "Space Seed" and the second Star Trek movie. Finally, his description of Romulans traveling back in time to alter history is the plot of Abrams' movie. Actor Clint Howard, who played Grayson, appeared in the original series, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager as different characters. Grayson's apartment address is 1701, a reference to the Enterprise's ID number of 1701.

ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Title:
Referencing the poem "The Road Not Taken", by Robert Frost. "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." -
Peter: There's something strange in your neighborhood.
Walter: Who you going to call?
Referencing the 1984 movie Ghostbusters and the theme song of the same name, sung by Ray Parker Jr. and nominated for an Academy Award.
