"Welcome To The Monkeyhouse"
"Today is the day for which you were created." - Walter Bishop
The other side's Fringe division is so COOL! How they made a cool show even cooler is proof that someone actually cares about their audience.
I love the idea of a strike team made up of the grown up children that Walter and William experimented on as children. They are like the X-men.
'Lost' could have learned alot about this show. They creators have ONE idea (parallel universes) and get their story ideas from that premise. They answer questions on a regular basis about what is going on. For this reason part one of the season finale was exciting stuff to watch.
We see the pieces come together. We see characters grown and change as the information is passed to them. They have motivation to do the right thing or not. THIS is how you tell a story.
The other world's Department of Defence is centered on Liberty Island? That is where I would put it. That sight just screams 'hidden base'.

I liked the episode but I thought it a bit cheezy when one of the characters said it was very "Mission Impossible.
Also why introduce cool new characters if you're just going to kill them off fifteen minutes later? I wanted to have some sort of emotional investment in them so that maybe their sacrifice would actually mean something instead of taking a bullet so the main characters can survive.
And Walternate? He's not just Walternat -- he's EVIL Walternate!
And still not enough Frikkin' Leonard Nimoy!
other than that it was all good.
I agree with you that we didn't get enough time with those super powered children. But some guy got crisped and another got tumored. That counts for something, right?
Aren't the guys who made Lo(ser)st the same who make Fringe? Just saying.
More Nemoy Good
We met these other Cortexiphan kids in other episodes. So we know them (sort of) and we might (probably) meet their Betaverse (I don't like alternate, guess I watched Charlie Jade to often) varients in other episodes.
And the statue of Liberty had its patina removed or maybe never had it(?) The copper colour looks awesome. The base wasn't in the statue though (have the secretaries office in the head observation deck, or is that too cornie) What happened to the Pentagon(?)
More answers lead to more question and so on.
Just cool.
Did you watch Alias? (JJ Abrams as well)
I loved 'Alias' until that went off the rails in the later years of the series. When Sydney was just dressing up, kicking ass and taking names it was great.
