Fringe – Season 3 “The Abducted” Review

Don’t chant his name five times.

Remember this will be a SPOILER review.

While this episode mostly featured an individual story, its conclusion has changed things dramatically for both universes.  I have to say I am glad that Olivia knows who she is and that Peter now knows that his Olivia isn’t the right one.  While I liked the way the episodes were going, I think it was time to have Peter know the truth.

You would have thought he would have guessed by now but love can make you blind.  I’m intrigued by how he’ll handle the information.  Also in alt world, Olivia is in trouble now that Walternate knows she remembers.  My guess is that Phillip will help Olivia get back to her world for helping him catch the Candyman and saving his son.

That opening scene was pretty freaky and the idea of the Candyman stealing childrens youth for his own is nothing new in Sci-fi but I liked the twist that Reverend Marcus was really behind it all, see only the Olivia we know would have figured that out.

I enjoyed that we got to learn more about the Broyles in this universe, that he had a family and his son was a victim of the Candyman.  The little kid who played his son did an excellent job.  I’m hoping we get to learn more about the Broyles in the normal universe.

Geeky Thoughts:-

• It was good to see Henry back to help Olivia, Andre Royo is a wonderful actor.
• Lucky for Olivia for there to be a cleaning lady in that shop.
• Now it seems that things in both world are coming to a conclusion, I really don’t want to see the end of this alt world.  I like the characters in them too much.

Things are looking great for Fringe, I believe that there is a two week break until the next episode and I’m not sure how many more episodes left before the Christmas break.  I’m just glad that this half of episodes didn’t end with this one.
