Fringe 4.13 picspam & theorizing
So far this season continues to play with the blue-red-yellow-green, spots of color that seem over-saturated and stand out. It's been too emphatic for me to think it's not deliberate. For reference, see my Fringe 4.01 color picspam. 4.13 had a lot going on with that.

As usual, Walter's lab seems to be a space where the color theme stands out. People's homes, or the assisted living place in this episode, seem more "neutral"--there is a lot of color but not as pointed.
Peter's surrounded by blue here. Blue shirt, blue wire, blue lights, the blue on the computer monitor. There's a spot of green on the back of that machine, and by Olivia's head there are those big dots of red and orange (amber). If blue is the color associated with the original Over Here, and red is the original Red Over There, and amber is the place the show is in now, with the green accent for the Observers...okay maybe I'm just rambling. Green seems to be an Observer color (see the 4.01 picspam).
While Olivia is in neutral colors--her shirt and suit are sort of an olive blue-green (and olive...for Olivia?) while there are red/green/blue/yellow wires coming out of that device on her head.
Olivia looks awfully relaxed and perky for someone sitting under what looks like a mad scientist version of a hair salon dryer.
I'm not sure what's going on. Still going with there being another timeline. Since this Olivia was dosed with cortexiphan, maybe the ability brought out was picking up on the brain waves of blue!verse Olivia. Then again, maybe there is no amber!verse and this is the original blue!verse and the cortexiphan is allowing Olivia to regain her true memories. Peter's in the right place, everyone has changed around him. Or he's in the wrong place but home is bleeding through. And how long has this Olivia been dosed? Is this why she dreamed about Peter? What about Walter seeing "the man in the mirror"--is Walter hyper sensitive because it's his son? Did Peter project strongly as his consciousness was trying to find home? (I'm rambling again).
How much do I love that Walter makes tea using a bunsen burner and a beaker? Also the blue jar of liquid stands out, plus the blue flame of the burner.
Color scheme--green mug, amber-ish tea, yellow honey bear, amber honey. (What even is that ceramic thing?)
As with the lab, the colors jump out at Massive Dynamic as well. Lots of blue (and white) at Massive Dynamic. Hmm.
There's also that field of blue from the storage locker door behind Olivia when she's talking with Peter about how he makes her feel.
At the gas station, there's an awful lot of yellow and green.
We've seen the show do this before with green/yellow against a car window.
And now Peter's face is bathed in green light. Right after he and Olivia both decide it's really her. But there's this reminder of the Observers. Seriously, if Peter had been bathed in blue light I might've felt less on edge about it.
And of course, it ends in tears and Olivia disappears, and we're left with real!Nina and Olivia held captive in some grim-looking room somewhere. Olivia and Nina will be bringing the sneaky escapes, asses kicked, and heads knocked together in 3...2...1...
Also there's the white-blue security room and those red, red, red cortexiphan vials.

Okay Fringe. Where are you going with all of this?
