Do you like the Business Card Word Puzzle thing?
I know some people might hate this and think it's useless.
but i personnally love it..
especially at start when we don't know nothing and olivia ask people to get their bussiness card frequently:haha:
And the "you will be fine" scene....I really love it.
I love when olivia get emotional...

I neither loved it nor hate it. I was 50/50 with this. For 1 time it's ok.. but I don't want to see it again in the series.

I think it was a great way for Olivia to get closure for Charlie, but I knew she was collecting cards from the first time she asked the taxi driver.

It was kind of freaky.

I thought it was an interesting way for us to see the more personal and vulnerable side of Olivia, but I didn't particularly think it was absolutely amazing. It was fascinating, interesting, but no more than that. I was just happy to see Sam again. :D

I totally though for a second that Sam was going to make a move on her... and then he didn't ^^

I though that it was nice, that she (if we're assuming it was two random letters for each first & last name) spelt it out on her own. I enjoyed it a lot, but I don't think they should do it again

Hmm ... I didn't like it, actually. I mean, I think it was great how Olivia got emotional when the words were spelled out, and that was an amazing scene. It's just the possibilities of that actually happening ... seriously? Is Sam Weiss magic or something? Sure, it's mysterious, and this is Fringe, but it seemed a little too farfetched for me.

I was neutral towards it. It certainly pushed (broke, probably) the limits of believability, but it was entertaining and the payoff made it worth including in the episode.

I thought that scene was awesome. It was like Charlie was sending Liv a message.

Yeah, I thought it was good to see some vulnerability from the usual stiff Olivia. Wonderful acting (once again) by the amazing Torv of course.

Hey, it was all Sam, so I'm not complaining. :D

I'm not so sure, he did say that it would say whatever she needed it to say, so perhaps the letters could have spelled out, 'monkeys and baboons' or something, but her subconscious immediately jumped to certain letters in certain places. She was still after all dealing with her partners death.

I think this was a great way for Olivia to get closure on Charlie's death. She clearly was having difficulty dealing with the fact that he died -- and that it seems like she killed him, even though she knows she didn't. She needed those words from Charlie again to calm her. I think it was a clever side-plot.

^ I agree. Though it was a bit farfetched, it was certainly a good character development and a nice touch to the episode for us to see Olivia close up and personal. :D

Yeah it kinda breaks her down a little, makes her more relatable as a person going through something extremely hard.

Yeah I agree with that. It was more like a "game" with her mind. She chose the words that could calm her and not other words that would have had no meaning.
As I have said for 1 time it was ok. I didn't love it nor hate it. But I sure hope that these games with Sam would be over.

Exactly. Derren Brown has done things that "seem" much ore impossible than this. Tricks of the mind you would say. It's all this psychology/sub conscious stuff that baffles me to an extent but I can see where it could be possible.

And this is Fringe, so what isn't impossible? Remember: Imagine the impossibilities. Nothing is strange in the Fringeverse. :D
