I thought this episode was pretty generic. Except for the intrigue at the very end you mentioned. I have no idea what that was about, but I’m having a little trouble caring since it seems established that this is not OUR Olivia. Unless injecting this Olivia is pertinent to getting Peter back to his Olivia I don’t have much of an emotional investment.
I don’t think there was a 11/25 episode. If so I missed it.
It also brings up the questions about how different the other universe Olivia is also.
We need to come up with new names since she isn’t actually Faulivia. Maybe we should call the new Olivias, Olivia-c and Oliva-d. Olivia-c didn’t meet Peter in Jacksonville as a child and she was raised by Nina-c, so there is a lot of divergence from Olivia-a.
As someone who lists Lost and BSG among his favorite shows, I gotta say I’m not sure I like where this show is going. It seems like no matter what, we are either going to end up in a universe where the characters are not the same one we’ve grown to love over the last few years, or we’ll completely press the reset button and undo what we’ve seen this season. They only I think that would work would be some sort of merge. We end up in this universe with this storyline, but the characters have all the memories of the old timeline.
I have to agree that this current season has me nervous. I don’t care nearly as much about these characters, and I want to go back to the universe I know and love.
There have only been two Charlies. Charlie A was killed, Charlie B (from Faulivia’s universe) is the Charlie who is honeymooning (he married the “bug girl”). Or was there a different Charlie in the future timeline Peter visited? Argh.
In this timelime, we know Alt-Charlie is on his honeymoon. We don’t know what happened to our Charlie in this timeline. They haven’t ever talked about him. Considering that they seem to know a lot less about shape-shifters in this timeline, he might still be alive.
I assume Nina (who I’m wondering if it’s not Red Nina who we’ve yet to see as far as I remember) was shooting Liv up with cortexophan (sp).
Also, I still think we’re in the “real” universe that’s been changed, not a new universe. The way they’re so sure of it cements me in this, so that there can be a big SWERVE when it turns out Gellar is real… er that it’s not a new universe.
