| Thank you for these! Looks like it will be really interesting! I'm glad they will finally be revealing things about them. And I am so glad Astrid's character is getting more development. | |

| Sorry. I thought it was all right to talk about it here, since the thread is called August. | |

| I loved it, too. It was absolutely incredible. One part put me in Benchwarmer happy land - when Peter told Olivia how he knew she was upset, and then she actually told him what was wrong. | |

| 1. Loved to see other Observers, though i thought we would see more than 3 new.
2. Loved that it was September who came to take "August" after he was shot, because the way he was looking at him when he talked about feelings and love, it seemed like September knew that precise feeling, and that would be why he saved Peter.
3. Loved the code cracked by Walter, maybe showing more than just his intelligence, showing his bound to the Observer ? Like when he knew he had to hide the beacon.
4. Peter is somehow putting the pieces back together. It seems like we won't have to wait much longer before the big reveal. I'd say in the episode before the Christmas hiatus. The girl's teddy bear was maybe a reference to Peter's teddy beay we saw in the previous episode ?
5. Nice P/O moments, loved it when Peter was putting his shoes on and Olivia leant on the back of the couch. The scene in the car.... it reminded me of my own experience, when my mom took me to the theaters for the first time.
6. P/O THING I ABSOLUTELY LOVED : In the category "Peter notices everything"........... the "you do that thing with your mouth when you're upset".... How much time do you spend looking at her mouth in a day, Peter ?
7. Nice to see Ella again, and to see that she's as unerstanding as her aunt. Rachel out of town.... weird.
8. I'd love to see Christine Hollis again, later.
9. Loved to see the guy from Massive Dynamic again ! I love him.
10. I like how Peter tricked the guy ! That was fast acting ! And at the end... the way the Observer gave him the gun... for one second, this thought crossed my mind : what if Peter had to take over ? Peter an Observer ? Nah.... He saved Olivia.
11. Loved Walter discretly looking at his son during the whole episode. And how scared he got when he met August. Now we know that Peter wasn't exactly supposed to be here.... BUT September said "Your perception must be wrong", or something among those lines.... and we can see medications one the washbasin, perhaps that another version of Cortexiphan ? Do those guys follow their perception ? And the reason why September saved Peter is because -he loves Peter and- he sensed that Peter had something important to do ?
12. She looks so happy. Who's happy ? Olivia ? And the bad thing would be... her stepfather, ZFT, another Bell flashback, shapeshifter ? Or is it Ella ? As I said before, I find that weird that Rachel is out of town. What if something happened to Rachel, and Ella had to live with her aunt full time ?

| For some reason, I'm thinking that they meant Ella. It being Olivia would just be too obvious. | |

| That was my first thought, too.
Poor Ella, I don't why I'm feeling Rachel will never come back.....
But Peter will be here to confort both of them.
eta : What could happen to Ella ? | |

| I didn't even think of that. And that would also be foreshadowing. If alter-Rachel kidnaps Ella, it could be how Peter finds out he's from the alter-world. | |

3. Loved the code cracked by Walter, maybe showing more than just his intelligence, showing his bound to the Observer ? Like when he knew he had to hide the beacon. I think they have communicated a lot. . . they have an agreement.
4. Peter is somehow putting the pieces back together. It seems like we won't have to wait much longer before the big reveal. I'd say in the episode before the Christmas hiatus. The girl's teddy bear was maybe a reference to Peter's teddy beay we saw in the previous episode ? They backpedaled a bit--he would have known from the video footage that wasn't September. In fact they did not mention him meeting September in the graveyard, at all. That was disappointing to me.
5. Nice P/O moments, loved it when Peter was putting his shoes on and Olivia leant on the back of the couch. Yes, him dressing while she waited. He's often undressed when she comes to see him.
The scene in the car.... it reminded me of my own experience, when my mom took me to the theaters for the first time.
6. P/O THING I ABSOLUTELY LOVED : In the category "Peter notices everything"........... the "you do that thing with your mouth when you're upset".... How much time do you spend looking at her mouth in a day, Peter ? Yes, this was a great scene. And did you notice, he did not know Rachel was out of town? He's not in contact with her any more, and the writers made sure we know that. He's also feeling free to comfort Olivia about her life, and she to accept that!
7. Nice to see Ella again, and to see that she's as unerstanding as her aunt. Rachel out of town.... weird.
8. I'd love to see Christine Hollis again, later.
9. Loved to see the guy from Massive Dynamic again ! I love him. I don't get the point of him, actually. Peter would have known the linear time/outside of time thing. Maybe though this is a MD person who will be more forthcoming for them than Nina, an ally. I loved him looking at Peter and saying, you don't look FBI--- and Peter just not answering!
Funny noone asked why Peter was important enough to be rescued, what event necessitated his saving. Not even Peter.
10. I like how Peter tricked the guy ! That was fast acting ! And at the end... the way the Observer gave him the gun... for one second, this thought crossed my mind : what if Peter had to take over ? Peter an Observer ? Nah.... He saved Olivia. Oh, I loved that--Peter knew what to do, he can communicate more easily than maybe even he knows. Disappointing though for him not to mention what August told him. I don't see him at all as an Observer, but as someone they know they must protect and can work with, like Walter.
11. Loved Walter discretly looking at his son during the whole episode. And how scared he got when he met August. Now we know that Peter wasn't exactly supposed to be here.... BUT September said "Your perception must be wrong", or something among those lines.... and we can see medications one the washbasin, perhaps that another version of Cortexiphan ? Do those guys follow their perception ? And the reason why September saved Peter is because -he loves Peter and- he sensed that Peter had something important to do ?
Here's a theory: Peter over there would have died, but he is important, they flubbed, Walter rescued him and brought him here (rectifying their mistake over there, and keeping him safe here). So that would explain the "he's safe as long as we stay"-- marked for death over there..???
But why he's so important???
12. She looks so happy. Who's happy ? Olivia ? And the bad thing would be... her stepfather, ZFT, another Bell flashback, shapeshifter ? Or is it Ella ? As I said before, I find that weird that Rachel is out of town. What if something happened to Rachel, and Ella had to live with her aunt full time ? * I hope she doesn't, it would get too Disney or Hallmark card to have her there all the time. Change the dynamic too much. And I don't feel we have enough of Peter yet, to be spending too much time on Ella (a 2nd or 3rd tier character).I really liked the ep, it was very moving, and one likes Walter better and better. I can totally get not telling people everything, he's still protecting Peter. It did bother me that Olivia recognized that August wasn't September, not Peter, since he's met him--or that they didn't mention that scene--got a bit the feeling these writers hadn't watched the graveyard scene at all!
Were all the events in the newspapers on that guy's wall referring to war events, and one earthquake? Are they all mass-casualty events?
I love too that Peter is so cool about getting shot (grazed he was by that bullet), just mops his temple where he's bleeding and gets on with investigating...but it would have been nice for someone else to say, hey, you ok after being shot at, again--and being hit this time? | |
