Perhaps you need to watch it again anobserver?

9/10 for me well acted loved Peter being completely out of phase.

I gave it an 8/10. I loved how Peter jumped through points in time ("this is gonna get annoying!"), but he still figured out how to communicate the details of the bumper that crumbled to Lincoln & Olivia.

I had a love/hate relationship with the episode. I gave it a 4, because it left me more confused than any other Fringe episode ever has. I have no idea what the **** is going on.

...That's now the beauty of Fringe! It keeps on surprising ye!!!
{Quoting Peter and Olvia: "when you think you have found the answer it leads you to even more questions"...}

Sorry that it confused you more, sweetie!

I gave it a 9 because I think it wouldn't be fair to give it a 10 again...But it surely deserves it...the episode was so well written,had everything and everyone in it,the case was extraordinary and I loved the fact that we only found out that indeed peter had something to do with it at the end,I loved Peter and Olivia scenes because they were so well executed and so heartbreaking,which is a basic element in fringe,I loved Walter's denial although it's frustrating sometimes and I liked how impressed he was with Peter's intelligence...I loved Astrid and Lincoln in this episode too and the fact that they had scenes together.I like that Lincoln is cool with Peter,probably more than anyone,and I like that they get along,since they did in the natural timeline as well..I liked the fact that Peter wants to get back to his timeline and that he hasn't given up,although I don't think that his Olivia and Walter are somewhere else.The observers changed everything.I wonder why Peter hasn't tried to find September to ask him what happened.I know that's hard but he knows that he's out there,observing!He could give him some answers!

Peter don't really know that the Observers don't exist to the rest of them

Walter didn't really respond really when Peter asked about The Observer rescuing them

i also did like how Walter respected Peters intelligence, and also there was a moment where Peter smiles when Walter gives his Fibbonacci (sp?) theory

Walter cracked me up when he sent Astrid with the vest and pronounced it as "Walter Bishops Faraday Cage" so Peter wouldn't get any credit

As a stand alone episode it was great.

In the larger context of a show in a nose dive towards cancellation, it is frustrating to see them wasting time with a monster of the week episode in a lesser universe without our characters and with no definitive direction towards a story.

Best episode since White Tulip. Possibly better than White Tulip in fact. Can't ever give a 10 but boy was that close...

[Rekka]

I totally gave this eps a 9. I loved everything about this eps--especially the Peter-centric storytelling. Great P/O angst--you can't help but say "Aw, poor Peter!!" And it had some really great acting from the guest stars, too.

I gave it an 8, which would be my highest rating yet this season, which for the most part, I have found disappointing. I am glad that Peter is back, and he was the most enjoyable thing about the episode for me, and the focus on him has a lot to do with why I gave it an 8, but I am really missing the dynamic of our real Fringe team. I want old Olivia and Walter back. New Olivia and Walter have been frustrating me. I hope they don't drag out this new timeline for the whole season. I think the best thing about the show is the family dynamic between Olivia, Walter and Peter, and I feel like there is a void without it. I also didn't like how much the story resembled White Tulip. That is one of my favorite episodes of the show ever, and I felt as if this episode paled in comparison. I felt for the guy who was disrupting time in White Tulip (can't remember his name), and the ending made me cry. I did not feel any emotional resonance for the man in this episode that was disrupting time. Also, if he was smart enough to make a time machine how could he not know that using it could have bad consequences? I know it was his wife's equations that made his machine possible, but he made the machine without her, and it does take some smarts to turn a scientific theory in to a reality. I know I couldn't do that, and neither could most people without lots of brains and a scientific background. So how could he be so dumb when it came to realizing that what he was doing could disrupt the flow of time? Yes it was sad what happened to his wife, but I just didn't care for what happened to this couple as much as I cared for the characters in White Tulip. Despite that, I am looking forward to next week, even though I think lots of things will be left unresolved and unfortunately we will have to wait until January to get more answers.

I realise I've been giving the episodes 10/10 but I just can't help it, I just think each episode just gets better and better. This episode was so emotionally, especially how the case paralleled the character dynamics between Peter and his lost of 'those [he] left behind'
