Those kids were AMAZING casting. My God.

But yeah, my sister and I sat there going "But...but she was 4!" until we just finally had to block off that part of our brains :)

It's best not to ponder it too much. Roll with the retcon.

This ep is kind of a blur due to the happy dolphin noises I kept making.
omg, me too! I have never chortled at my (computer) screen so much as the last couple of episodes, I don't think. I think it's the way they were all enjoying the hell out of the situation.

I hope the wardrobe dept. got that memo about the black t-shirts, too! (plus, in the extremely shallow end of the (literal) pool, I loved the tidbit of information that Neal swims for his workout--with his waterproof anklet--can we have a scene of him doing laps, pls?).

You know, I don't love Sarah--especially the way she dresses and the slumped shoulder thing really bugs me--but Hilarie Burton's chemistry with Matt Bomer makes up for everything and all is forgiven!

It seems like they had an absurd amount of fun making it. Do you suppose Jeff Eastin chortles between takes "can't wait until the kids see THIS!"

We need a Neal swimming scene. Chekov's gun rule and all that, right?

Oh, that montage of Olivias! It really drives home how perfect that casting was more than ever.

And yeah, honestly, I'm not too bothered about changing Olivia's age: it let us have this episode, and I don't know that I would have put that on a younger actor, or any actor who wasn't the one we got. Just, UGH, SO MUCH EXCELLENCE. I can't even take it! Is it next Friday yet?

This timeframe makes sense, I'm ok with the retcon, I do wish they'd put something in to explain though.

The ep's awesomeness pwned any retcons, it really didn't matter to me that much. WOO HOO FRINGE! and Jasika Nicole tweeting that things get even EPICer!

The casting! Wee Olivia had her voice, her odd way of speaking.
And other stuff I haven't worked my brain around yet.
I hadn't clocked the tulips *facepalm*

Lovely casting, for both --I think that's the same wee Peter actor we've had in prior seasons, is it?

Totally missed the tulips. Must rewatch this ep.

White Collar is so happy making. And also Alex is back! I love Alex!

Fringe was awesome, and the call back to the white tulips was beautiful! And yeah Peter/Olivia (from over here) is probably the end game. I just do hope they don't make it too twisty or soapy too.

I care more about our Walter, Peter and Olivia figuring out how to save both universes.

i adore Alex, and she and Neal have this complicated, poignant friendship.

Somehow I don't worry about Peter/Olivia. The show seems to ship them so hard, it just keeps putting in conflicts because it's a tv show! There must be drama and obstacles! haha I don't feel much suspense on the romance end, just love all the emotional arcs.
