We are toeing the line here people. Four points stick out as not only unnecessary but largely unscientific, and perpetrated by scientists. First is Fauxlivia's bucking of the chain of command to break in and steal a way to come to our side to... what? Talk with Peter and get him to come back and visit the enemy camp to convince his father who may or may not be tinkering with an unknown artifact to stop doing that? I had trouble following that line of reasoning, particularly from a highly trained soldier. Our Fringe team's overly dramatic response to an unusual event was over the top too. "Well, let's hook up Peter to this machine. Sure we don't know what it will really do but we've had a fair warning that it might end the universe as we know it BUT, hey, 500 sheep did disappear this morning so that's a gamble we're willing to take. He might be able to switch it off." Then there was Nina's confession to Olivia about Sam. Apparently she's known since before Bell went missing that he was the key to the whole thing, and yet even so she only consulted him a handful of times. And he turned off his phone! Oh no, we can't track him, even though we have billions of dollars and all this state of the art equipment. But what really irked me was Walter's sudden conversion to Judeo Christian beliefs. It would have been more fitting for him to confess to a person than to God. I get his confession and plea to a greater being but the placement in the story was a bit weird, particularly to a specific deity, considering he hasn't shown any structured belief up until now.
