Tee hee! I certainly feel that way. Every week I read more ideas and theories about what might be going on, and every week I come away with my own new set of thoughts.<br /><br />This week I'm wondering whether the show doesn't actually buy into the "many worlds" theory after all. It has just been making it look like it does all this time. In other words, there are only the two universes, which formed for some unknown reason and have to be reconciled or they will tear both worlds apart. The Observers have been tweaking the two universes, seeing how things play out, then resetting and changing up the variables. (Initially, they thought Peter had to live, but once they saw how that played out, they decided instead he had to die.) And apparently September has now reached the conclusion that the only way to fix things is for Olivia to die.<br /><br />Or something like that. Every time I try wrapping my brain around it and writing it down, it starts to seem nuttier and more confusing. Erg!<br /><br />I know a lot of fans (like Peter) are pining for *our* Olivia and Walter, but I've come to realize that if Peter and we do somehow get them back at the expense of the current versions of the two universes, I'm going to really miss Lincoln "CK" Lee. I've become quite attached to this particular version of him, and I feel like in many ways, the focus has been on his journey this season. We started the season with him as our POV character, and they just reminded us again what this iteration of events has cost him (his partner). I was quite concerned that he might die this week, and it kept me on edge throughout the hour. Not CK Lee!<br /><br />Seth Gabel does such a great job making CK distinct from the other Lee. I know you said you had trouble telling them apart this week, Josie, but I think he manages to do something with his eyes to convey the difference. E2 Lee is harder, whereas CK Lee has a more hopeful, inquisitive look to him. His face just seems more "open." It's weird, but I could always tell them apart just by looking at his face.<br /><br />Great stuff between E2 Elizabeth and Walter this week, and the closing moments with Walter and Peter made me tear up slightly. Even though I don't understand the overall direction of things at the moment, I certainly still enjoy the resonant character moments sprinkled throughout.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.com
