Fringe: I Am FREAKING OUT

As soon as they started with the previouslys I screamed out loud. I forgot - totally awesome universe collision time!!! Yay!!

Freak of the Week: Prez from The Wire is hit by an earthquake - while in Manhattan. But it's not really an earthquake - it's the afore-mentioned worlds colliding thing, and it leaves him with 4 legs and 4 arms, with a support beam stuck through his shoulder. OH HELL YES!

Everyone else in the building is dead - and fused together, fused with inanimate objects, etc. Prez freaking out about having extra appendages is the Greatest Thing I've Ever Seen In My Life. He also thinks the Pentagon and White House were destroyed on 9/11 - so he's from The Other Universe!! Prez dies and then they open his shirt to reveal another head fused to his stomach. That Prez opens his eyes - I SCREAMED WITH DELIGHT!!!!!! - and then dies too. I totally screamed and laughed like a child and freaked the hell out. This. Is. Awesome.

Olivia knows it's Newton trying to bring the universes together. In order to keep the balance of the universes, Walter says that a building from our universe will disappear into The Other One within 35 hours.

When Walter was experimenting on a young Olivia, she was able to identify other-worldly occurrences with some kind of glimmer. So The Team heads to Jacksonville to visit the old experimentation lab - conveniently (and creepily) preserved and locked up - so Walter can bring this ability back in Olivia. It's creepy because all the stuff's still there, and it looks like a preschool, but you know it was an effed-up, demonic preschool.

They go into a classroom that has 16 objects from The Other Universe, but Olivia can't identify them. Time to hook Olivia up to some electrodes and give her some drugs!!! Ah, it's like the good old days of drug trips and lens flares.

Her drug trip involves a creepy version of herself as a kid, but afterward she still can't identify which things belong to The Other Universe. The clue to when the Universe Collision will happen again comes when Nina Sharpe hears dog barking - one of the signals of impending Other-Universe Seismic Activity - and then tremors start increasing.

This episode didn't just bring the freakiness - there was great drama between Olivia and Walter, as she accused him of child abuse and couldn't believe he experimented on kids like that. Good stuff. Also - the reason the experiment didn't work on Adult Olivia is that she's not afraid of anything now - she needed the fear she had as a child to bring out the ability.

The Team works to determine which buildings have the same mass as the Other Building - there are 140-odd buildings that match. When they think they're out of time, Olivia suddenly gets scared. She misses her kiss with Peter (good, those two don't need to hook up) when she suddenly realizes that she is scared -- and runs to a window. Sure enough, she sees a building vibrating with the Otherworldly Glimmer.

BROYLES. IS. THE. MAN. End of story. He orders an evacuation of said building - a hotel. The building disappears - and the news reports it as an unscheduled demolition.

At the end, Olivia and Peter are set to go out for drinks (Walter is quite excited by this "date"). The anticipation was killing me as Peter opened the door -- and Olivia saw him with the Otherworldly Glimmer. When Peter walks away, Walter comes over and whispers, "Please don't tell him."

BAM!

THIS SHOW WAS AMAZING!!!! IT'S NOT COMING BACK UNTIL APRIL 1ST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG AND THEN WE GET ALL THE WALTER/PETER BACKSTORY DRAMA!!!! OMGOMGOMG SORRY I'M FREAKING OUT. That was the Best Episode of Television Ever.

Walter's Food Craving Of The Week: Pretzels. As in, "Quickly, Peter, open that case. Pretzels." He also eats applesauce. Boring food, but I still love you, Walter!

This Week's Code: REVEAL. And what a reveal it was.
