Fringe Season 3 Episode 2 "The Box"

Tweet

Last week, the episode centered on our Olivia on the other side. This week, we see our side’s Peter and Walter Bishop solving a case with who they think is Olivia from our side but it’s really Faux-livia, Olivia from the other side. The case is about a box that kills people mysteriously. We find out that Faux-livia and her partner on this side has something to do with this. Another high point in this episode is the reading of the last will and testament of Dr. William Bell, owner of Massive Dynamics and friend to Walter. The late doctor left a letter to Walter, and what looks like an envelope of money to Nina. At first I thought that’s the inheritance already, but right at the end of the episode, we find out that Walter Bishop inherited the whole company of Massive Dynamics! Wow! This episode was ok, it wasn’t the most bizarre case they have investigated, but I think the “box”, where the episode title was taken from, has something to do with Peter. I just don’t understand the final scene where Faux-livia typed into the “mystic typewriter” (for lack of a word to call it) that Peter is now “actively engaged”. Like he’s some kind of a machine that needs to be turned on (no, don’t even think about it). Was he supposed to come back to our side from the other side? Is he a ticking time-bomb? I’d like to join the other message boards that discuss Fringe like a new religion, but I’m too busy to look for them and join in on the discussion. I do read some of theories out there from time to time and I find them interesting. Anyway, that’s my theory, that Peter is a weapon that needs to be activated on our side. One last thing, I am not a jumpy person, but I was jolted when the head of that poor guy inside the train tunnel exploded. I was not expecting it to happen! I don’t like it. It didn’t even give me time to turn my head away or cover my eyes. I think I’m scarred. I’ll go find me a shrink.
