Subject: Fathers in Parallel: Choice for the Better

Well, I've never minded a little mysticism in my Sci-Fi. The human factor of emotions and irrationality is always a part of any story. Expanding the human mind in some way has always been a segment of sci-fi.

Indeed if Simone is just an anomoly as suggested by Olivia, perhaps she is the daughter of a former cortexikid. Then the mysticism, you deride, may have a scientific background.

As to the dialogue. With Peter in Observer-mode, I doubt that without a persuasive verbal argument Olivia could have elicited the latent 'human' memories that caused Peter to "self-lobotomize." In such a manner the dialogue was quite scientifically necessary.

I didn't mean that Olivia shouldn't have talk to him, and as I said her speech could have been much worse, but that dialogues in FRINGE tend to be endless exposition and "on the nose" and this episode was another case of that. Dilaogues are just not their strongest suit.

One could say that Peter gave in a bit too easily too while he seemed already so Observer-like in his behaviour...

You really should watch BSG!
