A few thoughts on last night's ep:
-The alternate Statue of Liberty was very dark. Bronze?
-The US map in Walternate's office caught my eye. Something looked off, but I don't have a DVR.
--The trip across "burned out" the Cortexaphan Kids (tm). Will this have an effect on Dunham down the road?
-Who was the leader of the alernate team? Is he one of the Cortexaphan Kids in our universe?
-Was that Nixon on the silver dollar used to do the gravity test?

No Tivo, so dunno. Regardless, I have to call BS on the show. OK, Olivia is Olivia in both worlds. Walter is Walter, Peter is Peter (or would be, were he not "half-dead"), Martin Luther King Jr. is apparently MLK Jr. there, all the other people are the other people . . . but they never heard of Andrew Jackson? WTF? Does this mean that Col. Jackson was killed down in N'awlins in 1814? And if so, why could not one of those brainiacs mentioned that?

Hell, I don't expect my fantasy fixes to be logical, but I do expect some logical consistency in my illogic. Does that make sense? You know what I mean, regardless.

Well, we do know that there are some significant differences. Maybe Jackson was never president? I wouldn't expect them to have heard of a specific colonel, no matter how distinguished his career. And maybe whoever was prez in Jackson's place led down a road where technology developed at a slightly quicker pace.

What's scary is I know exactly what you mean.

But there is an easy, two word explanation.
It's television.

Technically that explanation is one word, "it's" is a contraction.

I finally watched last weeks episode.

It was good, but a lot of stuff does not yet add up.

Let's see what tonight brings us.

Technically, you're a dumb$hit.
It's (word #1) television (word #2). Hence, the two word explanation.

I think I've figured it out. At the end of tonight's ep, Denethor will wake up in Minas Tirith and say, "I just had the strangest dream..."

What, we talking an alternate Middle Earth now? Kewl.


Last night tied up a number of loose ends for me, but opened up another whole can of worms for next season. Can I wait? Guess I'll have to.

Eh...My thoughts are that we did a shape shifter / type writer villain when Charlie was taken over.

My issue with time travel is always the same...the slightest change would change everything! i.e. Dunham's mom is alive in alternate universe yet she still works in the FBI there? Her sister is dead in alternate world...which may affect her profession as well.

Anyway, I still watch it and try my best to get over literal "what the hecks?" It is still a fascinating show in that you never know what will happen next!

I gotta watch tonights episode but let me say ....I liked the first seasons better. This new season MEH. The whole alternate universe plot is just not my thing. I'll keep watching but if it doesn't get better soon I'll probably stop after this season.

DVR should have caught it last night, so I'll get to see it this weekend.

Sad to hear that it was only partially interesting tho. I'd swear I'd seen a clip which lead me to believe that Peter figured her out and tells her to go back....



I think I'll stay out of this thread till I see it........

I'll be honest this season is confusing the piss out of me. Maybe I should stop following 18 different shows?

The only thing that really confused me last night was how Olivia could "jump" out of a tank of water, yet not be totally wet standing in the gift shop. Hell, I was looking forward to seeing that light whith shift plastered to her frame.

This show has really grown on me. I have started to look forward to it each week. It has found it's mojo and has become really interesting. Although I have not caught up with this weeks episode.
