[aci79]

I'm ready too. Just saw a promo and it looks like its going to be pretty cool.

Yea.. it is :-)

[bookworm2342]

There's only one part I'm dreading, so I hope it's not very long.

[cevosevich]

There's only one part I'm dreading, so I hope it's not very long.
What part?

[Alijg]

There's only one part I'm dreading, so I hope it's not very long.

same but hopefully the case will make up for that.

[AnimeArchAngel]

Three minutes! :D

[Omniscient_Jay]

T minus 3 minutes....

...Until Newton makes us all weak in the knees with his general awesomness.;)

[theskipper]

2 mins

[Peet]

Arrrrrggggghhh

[aci79]

There's only one part I'm dreading, so I hope it's not very long.

Well.. we can just imagine that is it our Olivia ;)

[theskipper]

starting now!

[Alijg]

it's time!!

[bookworm2342]

If you watched the sneak peek, you'll know.

[AnimeArchAngel]

Here we go!

[Temperance]

It's staring!

[LovinSha]

My mom isnt home yet...which means she's probably gonna interrupt my viewing in the middle of the show.

Bleh :P

[Matthew]

No interruptions! Fringe requires concentration!

[LovinSha]

No interruptions! Fringe requires concentration!

That's what I try to tell her.

Now who didnt see all that death coming? :P

[bookworm2342]

*mentally prepares self*

[Matthew]

Creepy! Good to see the original opener again

[Peet]

creeeepy...

[Alijg]

definitely creepy...

[bookworm2342]

LovinSha, if they people in the opening scene don't die one time, I think I may die of shock.

[theskipper]

i like the girl in the yellow...

[Peet]

It felt almost X-Filesey to me... I don't know why...

[Hollywood]

That was eery.

[Temperance]

Pandora's Box? That's what comes to mind.

[Omniscient_Jay]

...:eek:...

Was I the only one expecting different Season 3 Fringe Science tags for our universe's opener?:confused0006:

Oh, well, I suppose.

[Peet]

Pandora's Box? That's what comes to mind.

That's interesting... :confused0006:

[Matthew]

Newtons been there since she was in high school? Interesting

[bookworm2342]

He's erasing her tattoo?! Those writers thought of everything.

[Alijg]

bye bye tattoo

[bookworm2342]

If only Peter knew that they've already made a move to get him back...

[aci79]

Chocolate Milk :-)

[Matthew]

Darn. There goes my theory for Peter finding out.

[Alijg]

Aspirin. Haha.

[LovinSha]

If only Peter knew that they've already made a move to get him back...
I know...:comfort:

[Temperance]

"Aspirin! We need to go to the market!" Poor Astrid.

[bookworm2342]

Peter! Notice she's not herself! Notice!

*closes eyes* I can't watch.

[Matthew]

BOlivia! Not so fast. Peters clever!

[Dari5610]

Come on, Peter, ya gotta be seein' through this right now. D=

[bookworm2342]

At least he said that he's always preferred blonde. The right line at the wrong time.

Yes!!! The phone saves the day!

*mutters thanks to the caller*

[LovinSha]

It's hilarious how clearly different AltOlivia is and Peter is too daft (and too in love) to even notice. :P

[Alijg]

Walter's making me giggle.

[Peet]

First Glyph is A

[bookworm2342]

I'm still praising Olivia's phone. I have not loved it this much since it interrupted her and that guy in Germany.

[theskipper]

her eye brows are still brown

[ABooT]

is it finished yet?
how many more mins?

[aci79]

Why didn't Peter ask Alt-Olivia about having a drink? Him and Olivia always drink..

[Peet]

I'm still praising Olivia's phone. I have not loved it this much since it interrupted her and that guy in Germany.

That was certainly the phone's greatest moment, so far.

I've got to say, Altlivia was pretty crafty with her lying.

[Alijg]

Why didn't Peter ask Alt-Olivia about having a drink? Him and Olivia always drink..

That's what I was wondering. Doesn't he think it's weird she wasn't drinking too?

[paladin24]

Team Alt-Livia's Phone, anyone? :haha:

[Matthew]

Why's Walter playin with brains in a suit?!

[bookworm2342]

Why didn't Peter ask Alt-Olivia about having a drink? Him and Olivia always drink..

I'm surprised that he didn't ask her why she wasn't drinking.


That was certainly the phone's greatest moment, so far.

I've got to say, Altlivia was pretty crafty with her lying.

Unfortunately, she has. How is she pulling this off? Yeah, she's being obvious, but still...



Our Astrid and Walter. This is so comforting to me.

[LovinSha]

Ew. That killed me.

[Matthew]

He fooled me. I almost gagged at that.

[Matthew]

Will we see Nina?

[Temperance]

Is that Danielle from the Pilot?

[ABooT]

Is it finished yet?
How many more minutes?
I'm not from usa and I want to watch it already.

[Dari5610]

My whole family went "EWWWW" for a moment there!

[paladin24]

Yay! Nina!

[Alijg]

Nina/Walter hug. :haha:

[bookworm2342]

Is it finished yet?
How many more minutes?
I'm not from usa and I want to watch it already.

It'll be on for another 40 minutes.

[Alijg]

Is it finished yet?
How many more minutes?
I'm not from usa and I want to watch it already.

Not over yet, about 40 minutes left.

ETA: Bookie beat me to it.

[Matthew]

So were Nina and Belly romantically connected?

What did he leave Walter?

[cevosevich]

What is it?

[bookworm2342]

Bell's will reading.

Although I must say, Walter wearing a suit is a bit disconcerting.

[bookworm2342]

Another sign something is off. She's smiling way too much.

[Alijg]

Come on, they don't suspect anything is different about Olivia?

[Matthew]

They're making it kinda obvious about BOlivia. So much so that if Peter doesn't figure it out soon I'm gonna go crazy.

[cevosevich]

Who is that guy?

[LovinSha]

Another sign something is off. She's smiling way too much.

That's what I've been saying!

And that song in the bar was a jazz song. Olivia doesnt even like jazz. :P

U know wat: I think Broyles is gonna say something to her...

[smiliee]

Okay, really, Peter? IQ of 190. I don't think so.

[aci79]

Come on, they don't suspect anything is different about Olivia?

I know right.. so obvious.. but it is probably easier for us outsider looking in vs. them being in it.. just being oblivious.

[Omniscient_Jay]

This episode rocks.

'Nuff said.:happy15:

[birdandbear]

I think Peter's getting a clue. :)

[bookworm2342]

I must say, if I was friends with someone like Olivia, and she started smiling more, I'd be suspicious and worried.

[Fringaholic22]

You'd think that all the times they've talked about the FBI tracking phones, you'd think that they would tracking Olivia's. I starting to think that Peter and Broyles smell something fishy. Liv not briefing Broyles and Peter on the case is so NOT like her.

[bookworm2342]

*shakes fist* Peter better get at least a little suspicious. I mean, he could tell who was Olivia and who was AltLiv last season!

[quarteralien]

I must say, if I was friends with someone like Olivia, and she started smiling more, I'd be suspicious and worried.

I think I'd ask her to pass me some. :haha:

[Peet]

I must say, if I was friends with someone like Olivia, and she started smiling more, I'd be suspicious and worried.

I would actually be thinking how much being with Peter was good for her. I wouldn't suspect a switch.

[Alijg]

You'd think that all the times they've talked about the FBI tracking phones, you'd think that they would tracking Olivia's. I starting to think that Peter and Broyles smell something fishy. Liv not briefing Broyles and Peter on the case is so NOT like her.

Exactly. She always calls Peter...even when it's the middle of the night.

[Peet]

Oh my god, I feel so sorry for Walter.

[cevosevich]

Poor Walter.

[LovinSha]

On an up note: it's so sweet how Astrid is looking out for Walter

[Matthew]

Ohhh! A way to cross between worlds? Olivia can come home!

[Alijg]

I like how Astrid is handling Walter.

[Temperance]

The Halo! :P

[Alijg]

Walter singing!!! Haha.

[Matthew]

Rotfl "look at my brainwaves on the monitor-o"

[bookworm2342]

Continuity!

I love how mad scientist-like Walter looks with that.

[Temperance]

Notice the red and green blinking lights on the monitor?

[cevosevich]

Sbd!!!!!

[CJaguar265]

miami vice rulez

[LovinSha]

:haha: Altliv has no photographic memory. She's so gonna be screwed!

[bookworm2342]

Our Olivia has a photographic memory and AltLiv doesn't. *dances happily*

[Matthew]

Open the box! Kill her!

[Temperance]

He's deaf! Makes sense now.

[aci79]

Our Olivia has a photographic memory and AltLiv doesn't. *dances happily*

lol

[Matthew]

Our Olivia has a photographic memory and AltLiv doesn't. *dances happily*

If Peter doesn't realize she different now he'll still probably be too daft to figure that out.

[Alijg]

Poor Walter.

[Matthew]

Aww Walter :(. I wonder how long it'll take Peter to accept Walter again

[Alijg]

Guess that explains the blood from the promo.

[Matthew]

Ohh man! Please be Peter!

[bookworm2342]

She shot a deaf guy in the back of the head? *shakes head at AltLiv*

:haha: Peter's at the door. It's so a bad time.

[LovinSha]

:haha: This is gonna be good.

[Hollywood]

Wow alternate Olivia is cold blooded.

[Fringaholic22]

AltLiv Is such a B**tch! Poor guy! Peter will figure it out. (This is not a spoiler) Either at the end of tonight's episode or next week.

[birdandbear]

Uh oh! Excellent timing Peter! :haha:

[Peet]

Okay, Altliv, that was just inexcusable.

Glyph is, so far, ALE

I think... :haha:

[Omniscient_Jay]

Ah, how delightful Altlivia is. :D

And Walter, how I missed him.:o

[bookworm2342]

Think about what she just moved, Peter!

[Fringaholic22]

Peter! Don't Sleep With AltLiv! PLEASE!!!!!!!

[bookworm2342]

Olivia would not have smiled after saying that!

[bookworm2342]

Peter! Don't Sleep With AltLiv! PLEASE!!!!!!!

If he sleeps with her, I will not be held responsible for my actions.

[Fringaholic22]

Yay! Three Cheers for Broyles interrupting!!!

[Peet]

Oh my god!!!!!

[bookworm2342]

Thank you Broyles!

[Matthew]

I see another phonecall coming soon to interrupt

[bookworm2342]

Anyone else thinking the writers are enjoying messing with us Benchies? I can just see them sitting down, reading this thread, and laughing maniacally.

I love their phones! Why did I ever want to get rid of them?

[LovinSha]

I admit it's pretty funny how distracting she's trying to be over a leak of blood.

Stupid midget opening that box!

[Matthew]

Oh man! My favorite line of the night from Peter right there!

[birdandbear]

ROFL!! "I used to get off right here."

[Alijg]

Interesting how fast Olivia's hair dried.

[Fringaholic22]

you think she could of been any louder?! :haha:

[Fringaholic22]

Her cover is about to be blown.:happy15:

[bookworm2342]

That's three times Peter's been on that end of Olivia's gun.

Our Olivia wouldn't have agreed to that without a fight.

[LovinSha]

Agreed I doubt the real Olivia would've let Peter to that to his own hearing.

She would volunteered to do it ASAP.

[Matthew]

I have a bad feeling about this.

[Alijg]

Ewww!!! His head exploded!

[Peet]

ALER

I think the glyph is ALERT

[James S]

alternate Olivia deserves to be off'd having just murdered the defenseless deaf guy. I hope alternate Olivia falls prey to that box device! ):<

[bookworm2342]

Ten more minutes. I hope AltLiv does something to majorly blow her cover.

[Temperance]

-boom-

[bookworm2342]

Georgia, think that means someone will alert them to the Olivia/AltLiv situation?

[aci79]

wow.. poor eric the midget.. got his head blown up.
Weapon from the other side... and Alt-Olivia's reaction is priceless.

[Peet]

I'm loving this episode, so much.

ETA: I hope so!

[CJaguar265]

that is not Kent street station it is on the MBTA Green Line "C" line aka Cleavlend Circle route. it is above ground stop on the "T"

the green line is trolleys not rapid tranist that is a NYC subway car

[bookworm2342]

Now that was something Olivia would do.

[Fringaholic22]

Alert peter, alert!!!!

[Peet]

Okay, thanks for saving him Altliv

[bookworm2342]

My heart is pounding. That was close. Now, if only AltLiv would've been hit while pushing him out of the way.

[Alijg]

My heart is pounding. That was close. Now, if only AltLiv would've been hit while pushing him out of the way.

Way too close!!

[bookworm2342]

I want to punch her every time she smiles.

[cevosevich]

I so want homo to use the key

[Matthew]

What is it!!!

[cevosevich]

him oops

[CJaguar265]

The station is located on Beacon Street at Powell Street. Kent Street consists of two staggered side platforms (http://fringe-forum.com/wiki/Side_platform) which serve the "C" Branch's two tracks. T

[Peet]

Astrids house!!!!!

[bookworm2342]

*jaw drops* Walter has Massive Dynamic?

[cevosevich]

Wow!!!

[Matthew]

OMG!!! Walter has Massive Dynamic! I love it!

[Alijg]

Bell left Walter Massive Dynamic!!!??? Wow.

[Hollywood]

Holy crap!

[cevosevich]

That was awesome!

[Peet]

Oh my.

Amazing

Amazing

BRILLIANT

[bookworm2342]

The promo! Holy crap!

[cevosevich]

I love Fringe!

[Temperance]

Epic.

[Alijg]

Intense

[Peet]

That was amazing. Peter is activated?!??!

[bookworm2342]

THe ending just blew me away. Fringe is going to be epic this season!

[LovinSha]

Sweet. I knew that brainwashing would eventually lead to Peter hallucinations. :D

[Peet]

The Peter/Altlivia stuff wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought.

[aci79]

Wow! I'm looking forward to see our Olivia again next week! :-)

[CJaguar265]

[Alijg]

The Peter/Altlivia stuff wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought.

Yea but now we have our Liv and Frank to worry about. :(

ETA: Added spoiler tags...sorry.

[Omniscient_Jay]

Awwwwww yeeeaaaahhhh!!!:happy15:

And three cheers for the fact the we will now be finally able to see what MD has been up to (I hope!:hope:)

[bookworm2342]

Don't forget spoiler tags.

[ABooT]

Anyone has a download?

[empty_encounters]

Anyone has a download?

Of the episode?

Dude, it just aired a few minutes ago.

[Peet]

Yeah

[quarteralien]

It just occurred to me that in the scene with Peter and Altlivia, she knew they woulnd't have time to go through with it. She'd just given Newton the device and knew he would set it off. She's just toying with Peter, but I don't think she'll technically cheat on Frank.

[ABooT]

found a download :P

[CJaguar265]

Anyone has a download?

it will be on www.hulu.com/fringe (http://www.hulu.com/fringe) by 6pm tommorrow

[AnimeArchAngel]

Ugh! I had to rewind quite a few times (I had trouble hearing it tonight. Hopefully it was the rain and not something wrong with my hearing!), so I had to bail on the live chat. Better luck next time!

Pretty good episode! I'm going to need to rewatch it though, I'm not sure if I heard everything important.

[Peet]

I've found a download link, too.

[Alijg]

Did they ever show the line from the promo where Olivia says to Peter something like "we keep going and we might not be able to stop"??? I don't remember hearing it but maybe I need to go back and rewatch.

[ABooT]

I've found a download link, too.

show me yours, I got a slow server (30 minutes)...

[Peet]

Mine's worse, 35. Stick with yours. :haha:

[CJaguar265]

what do you guys use for a download site ?

[Abe]

it will be on www.hulu.com/fringe (http://www.hulu.com/fringe) by 6pm tommorrow

Sadly not available for anyone outside the US, I had to download it too and just watched it.

Walter is cracking me up :haha: licking brains from his tie and telling about his massage parlour frequenting ahh hahaha. Btw, I don't know if it counts as an easteregg, but "unless of course this buried treasure had legs of its own" made me think about The Luggage in the Discworld books by Terry Prattchet.

Great episode, can't wait until next friday.
