FRINGE: Olivia (S3E1)



This episode of the brand new season of J.J Abrams' project didn't cover much at all except revealing what "Over There" is like and how Olivia is losing means of finding her way back home.

"Over There":

  • Olivia is withheld against her will at a facility; the staff injecting the other Olivia's lymphocytes/DNA/memory into her but Olivia's mind is steadfast and strong - She knows who she is. So she escapes the facility and with some luck, takes a kind taxi driver hostage and uses him to navigate her way in NYC. Not our NYC but the NYC "Over There" where ..everything is just that slightly more sophisticated than ours.
  • Bad news is, her adrenaline from the escape triggers the DNA injected into her and she slowly confuses herself with the other Olivia, even acquiring the other Olivia's incredible marksmanship. At this point, I really don't know if she still knows who she really is but playing along with FRINGE division team so she can stay safe until she finds a way back to the real world.
  • IF she really loses herself, returning home would be a HUGE problem. I'm scared. Poor Olivia. However, it seems like a sliver of hope is still alive in the form of Henry the kind taxi driver who notices that Olivia's memory seems to have changed. Hopefully Henry will be her right hand "Over There". 


In THIS WORLD:
  • The other Olivia has managed to infiltrate our world. Walter is too mentally-disturbed to notice and Peter is too in love to realize that she isn't the Olivia Dunham he knew! AHHHHHHH. Troubles, troubles. While the real Olivia is struggling "Over There" with herself/mind and the world, Peter and the new Olivia head on to a lovey-dovey future. DO NOT WANT. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Peter is smart enough to notice that the woman next to him is NOT OLIVIA very very very soon.
