Another solid episode of my favorite show! Gotta love exploding "vertically challenged" people.

I wonder how long they're going to keep the Olivia/Altivia story line going?

I guess we will just have to stay tuned. I have faith they will handle this whole thing properly.

Oh, I do to...just wonder how its all gonna be ironed out...

[Ian-S]

Trust me, Newton isn't becoming sympathetic. "We" played right into "their" hands. The other side wanted Peter to do exactly what he did. Is is actively working on a peace of the weapon they eventually want him to operate.

That's one answer, but I don't think I'd do it that way, if I were evil hell bent on universe destruction I'd have that invaluable piece of tech back under lock and key asap.

Yeah...I agree...and I want to believe that Peter is on our side, but it would be a nice twist to reveal that he is really working for Walternate. But if he was working with Walternate...then he would know about Altivia.

I've only just caught up on this episode now, and yes I thought it was great! I don't giggle easily, but Walter does it everytime ("bacon-flavoured pudding" takes the cake - perfect delivery and timing).

If I were Peter, I would start having suspicions now, as there are several subtle but important throwaways that Bolivia has let slip.

You're all using "Altivia" but I thought the general consensus was "Bolivia" (as in, B-Olivia)?

[Linda06]

Finallt watched this last night. Really good ep IMO. I wonder how long Altlivia will be able to fool them all. So they have Peter doing their bidding for them unwittingly now. And now they're setting their sights on Walter. I wonder what they have planned for him. I'll bet it's Walter that clicks that there's something not right about Olivia

There is something I didn't understand (or I missed the explanation)... It's about the death of William Bell in the prime universe.
I though he was living in the alternate universe, and died there, so how could they know about his death in the prime universe?

Good question...I think he had contact with Nina (I think that's her name). So, maybe that's how they knew. Otherwise, I don't remember them saying anything about how they knew.

[Huaracocha]

Well since Walter, Peter and Altivia were there when he died it isn't hard to see how news of his death filtered back

Yuppers...and that is a very important detail...

so, in other words, William Bell's death is not "public" news, but is a fact known by a reduced number of people in Massive Dynamics, and this lawer reading Will's will, is not a common lawer.

[Huaracocha]

Wasn't someone reading a newspaper article about his death at one point though? Unless I misinterpreted.. which led me to assume that Walter or Peter had told Broyles in the debrief, he told Nina and from there it just went public since I guess they have no particular reason to hide the fact.
