To me it was pretty obvious that it wasn’t *Olivia* after the grenade went off after when William Bell was unconscious

Same here, I finally got around to watching it. Decent finale with Olivia sadly in Walternate's prison (Y) :(

I really hope Nimoy comes back for the next season in some form.

I'd say he will probably in a flash back.. or something.. it's like we didn't expect Charlie back at all. lol.

A scene cut from the Fringe season finale is available as a "Ford exclusive." Which makes sense, considering it's mostly product placement for the Taurus. But don't be fooled - there are clues about Violet Sedan Chair here too.

Great finale, but honestly how did they not realise that it wasn't Olivia

Yeah, I have a little problem with that, too - (after returning (with Broyles somehow knowing when they would show up)) "Boy! That was weird! Well, gotta go - see ya! Umm, where do I live?" I only started watching with season two, but, for Fringe, certain aspects of the two-part-finale seemed a bit on the weak side (starting with the previous episode's seemingly simple crossing over for Walternate and Peter).

What would be a twist is that we're being duped - the switcheroo was NOT successful. Maybe Fringe got enough intel to begin to infiltrate the alt-universe's operations from this side, with Olivia posing as Altivia over here, and Altivia in trouble with Walternate over there for botching up the switch and/or losing Peter (Olivia/Altivia and Walternate didn't really say much at the holding cell that would discount this). Dunno, this show seems to be too young, and the writers too creative to be resorting to the old evil-twin-switcheroo ploy, even if it is Fringe-style.

They didn't realize it wasn't her because they both looked pretty much identical (thanks to the real Olivia's disguise).

Yeah, but I think the point CCoil was trying to make is that the two worlds are so different that Altlivia couldn't have known enough to not give it away.

Yes, she must've got out of the theater pretty quick, without saying much (if it was Altivia). You would figure Broyles would want some details, and she's the only real FBI agent of those three. I'm sure Peter wouldn't have just let her leave after their exchange in the alt-universe.

speaking on Olivia-

The only real differences is the tattoo on the other world -- but I would almost bet that it is going to be her niece that exposes her.. (just a big hunch) When she gives the alternate Olivia the necklace back and the alternate does not respond back. However the alternate only knows the name of counterpart (the real Olivia's) niece but does not know what she looks like. The alternate Olivia could probably fake it with Peter since she had some knowledge that the two of them had a relationship or that she might actually fall in love with Peter and expose herself and hope that Peter will take her.

Though I found the death of the three people who crossed over was a surprise.

Walternate has the orignal olivia captive, looking at the tech on the other side dont you feel walternate can feed Altivia all the info she needs to survive the disguise.

Though the alter olivia-- may actually fall in love with the niece and decide to free our Olivia so she can reunite the two of them together--- I still say she won't be able to fool the child... perter maybe with all the world jumping......though they may surprise us even more. or she may miss her mother and want to go home.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
