Synopsis: Olivia experiences “awake dreams,” seeing elaborate visions of things not really there. While investigating a disturbing case of a woman who apparently spontaneously combusted, Olivia throws caution to the wind and explores her unexplained visions further. Meanwhile, Walter discusses key information about the Z.F.T. manifesto, and Peter reveals a secret that yields unexpected results in the case.
Below the jump I share my new observations and perspectives, and take a quick look at the unresolved and closed mysteries from “The Road Not Taken”.

Congratulations to Olivia Dunham (and Anna Torv) for winning Fringie of The Week for 1.19 “The Road Not Taken”. In what was a truly epic battle between Dunham and the Bishop Boy’s, the intrepid agent won-out with 25% of the total vote – edging out Walter by only 1%!
I make that 3 wins on the spin for Dunham, this vital victory places her in first place for the first time in 19 episodes. With only one episode to vote for this season it’s now Dunham’s to lose.
Standings going into the last episode:
Keep an eye out for the final Fringe of The Week of the season in the next day or so!

Each week FringeBloggers invite some of the most interesting personalities from the Fringe community into FB Towers, to review aspects from the most recent episode in our Fringe Roundtable! Joining the panel this week to review The Road Not Taken is self-professed Fringe cynic Ace, Fringe parody-maker TheMarkedMouse (AKA David Wu) and the ever-awesome yvaine!
The Observer. Where do you think he’s taken Walter!?
Ace: To the supermarket, where else?
TheMarkedMouse: I believe this is the beginning of a culmination of events hinted at in Epis. 1.04 “The Arrival,” where we learn that Walter owes the Observer a favor for bring him and Peter back to life. I suspect the Observer is taking Walter to a safehaven of sorts, where they will be setting up for an upcoming battle/war.
yvaine: Maybe in one of the parallel worlds? This particular part of the episode is really jogging my brain, but I couldn’t really think of any other explanation worthy of that cliff-hanger.

What Don’t We Do?
Massive Dynamic visual reference. Not hard to spot, although kind of ironic seeing as Susan Pratt was to spend her last moments on a bus covered in a Massive Dynamic ad.
