Here ’s the scene where Anna Torv really proves what a various actor she is — first she register a ton of different emotion as Peter shows her his secret . And then she turn into a whole new someone .
Honestly , last Friday ’s instalment of Fringe was one of the least memorable overall , except for a duet of bits .
Spoilers below …
So the “ A ” plot of “ Os ” was one of several we ’ve had lately where something gruesome or weird is happening , and everybody ask is well - intentioned , and really not very much is at post . There ’s a guy rope whose son is suffering from muscular muscular dystrophy , so after he discovers a weird new particle that is lighter than air , he starts experiment with make other MD sufferers float as a way of alleviate their condition . But they need to keep stealing rare chemical element for him , so he can keep stool the floaty serum . It ’s all a scrap — excuse me — lightweight .
The only really significant matter about that plot line is how his floaty corpuscle works — it should n’t , but the laws of physics are going all bendy as a delayed response to Walter ’s existence - crossing misbehaviour , 25 yr ago . Walter is more confident than ever that he needs to find a solution to the problem of the universe breaking down — and he want the help of William Bell , who was the Lennon to his McCartney . ( Although William Bell lived for age on the Other Side with another Walter Bishop , and never had any solutions to the job there . )
There were a few seemly Walter scenes — most notably , when he gets pit with a security guard and watches the Massive Dynamic security monitors , before realizing he ’s never been inside “ Belly ’s ” business office . And his interestingness in life after decease via “ Soul Magnets , ” which I thought was a throwaway comment , turn out to have been ultra - significant . Because Walter determine that William Bell may have saved his life essence — his Katra , if you will — inside another soul who was there when he go . That Nimoy , always transferring his life essence at dying .
Meanwhile , Olivia and Peter are getting to do it each other sound , and Olivia is deal such versed enigma as the fact that she does n’t like it when Peter grinds her bone with his hand while they ’re watching television . And meanwhile , Peter is continuing to be shifty skulky hombre , in a return to the plotline where he was kiling shapeshifters and wear thin a sinister hoodie . It ’s been ages since we dealt with that storyline , but it ’s all of a sudden back full force , because Peter has arranged the shapeshifters ’ data point labour into a “ daisy chain ” and let on tons of obscure superfluous information which he ca n’t get at .
It all climax in the final moments , where Walter decides that the brass bell that William Bell bequeath Nina is the key to reestablish Belly ’s Katra . ( And somehow , Nina never thought of seek to ring the bell shape that her old boss / lover left her . Not once . )
That concluding scene is really pretty interesting — like I said above , check all the different expressions that go over Anna Torv ’s font when she pull in that Peter ’s secret project is n’t just macrame or something . And then when it dawns on her that he was the successive killer they were tracking a while back , and he ’s been lying to her all this sentence . And then , right when she ’s about to process it all , she gets taken over by Belly , and starts doing her Nimoy impression .
Honestly , this was one of the weaker episode of Fringe of late , and the whole “ Olivia taken over by William Bell ’s specter ” plot line does not seem promising on the nerve of it . This show seems , in the retiring few months , to be totter on the line between “ rattling epic ” and “ random soap opera , ” with some of its late twist fall a wee bit on the “ random ” side . Here ’s desire that this Friday ’s magnanimous reveal of Bellivia does n’t let down .
