Olivia has hallucinations (The Dreamscape)
Olivia has been seeing John Scott, as well as receiving phone calls and emails from him. Walter thinks that this is John's repressed memories expelling themselves from Olivia's mind. Olivia does have some of John's consciousness, but this is not what causes her to see him; she is having hallucinations.
The phone call Olivia received from John was not real, but a hallucination. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Muleywanns53 (talk • contribs) .
- The FBI could not trace the call, and they said she had not received one, and the same logic could be used to infer that the emails are not real either.
Olivia is only hallucinating when she sees John. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Muleywanns53 (talk • contribs) . - No one else sees him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Muleywanns53 (talk • contribs) .
- He disappears whenever Olivia is distracted by something/someone else
Olivia hallucinated that Mark Young's mounted butterflies moved. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Muleywanns53 (talk • contribs) . - They obviously did not really move because they were dead. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Muleywanns53 (talk • contribs) .
- Charlie did not see them move. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Muleywanns53 (talk • contribs) .
- They stopped moving when Charlie distracted her
Did Olivia turn off the lights to the bomb in ABILITY or did Peter? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Muleywanns53 (talk • contribs) . - Peter was the one who rigged the first test light box to go off and never explains how he did it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kenjinattix (talk • contribs) .
- The lights on the bomb do not go off until Peter comes back from the elevator and stands behind Olivia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kenjinattix (talk • contribs) .
The person/organization behind The Pattern is causing Olivia's hallucinations
Hallucinations are used by the person/organization behind The Pattern (as with Mark Young and the Latino man), usually as a weapon. The hallucinations distract Olivia from her work concerning The Pattern, and the people behind The Pattern are using the hallucinations to stop her from finding out more about The Pattern. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Muleywanns53 (talk • contribs) .
Olivia Dunham's Abilities
Olivia's recovery in the hospital was so speedy because of her ability. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pandaman (talk • contribs) .
- She recovered from being pronounced legally dead which is miraculous. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pandaman (talk • contribs) .
- She woke in a trance-like state —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pandaman (talk • contribs) .
Olivia's ability encompasses a great number of mind/body amplifications ie. clairvoyance, clairaudience, heightened senses etc. though in even distribution. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pandaman (talk • contribs) .
- Olivia's hallucinations provide insight into to the episode's action. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pandaman (talk • contribs) .
Olivia Dunham has visited more than one alternate universe
In The Road Not Taken, Olivia keeps bouncing between universes, in the Alternate universe, the Fringe Division looks exactly the same as the prime universe. However, in season 2 Fringe division in the Alternate universe is more of a military group than a FBI agency. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rjackson5202 (talk • contribs) .
- I think the question still stands, (i.e. unanswered). What the difference is - TIME. The first year, Boston was in chaos (pending amber quarantine?) and the Fringe Team was based there. The place getting ambered and the surrounding blight forced them to relocate to the present locale. Boston may have been only a "Field Office", while the NY joint they are based in now seems higher up the food chain... like a "Regional HQ". Military vs. Civilian bearing... Sec Bishop may have just gotten his hands on (aka jurisdictional control) of the assets that relocated from Boston. Broyles was a military man before, so they commissioned/re-instated him to run the regional tactical operations for DoD. Having civil agents (Peace Officers) and military members (War Officers) on the same team/squad is not uncommon. (just speaking for this universe now) - –DocH– my edits
- - It could always be a ret con by the producers...I think when they finally nailed down what they wanted the Other Side to look like (end of season 2), they realized that what they showed in "The Road Not Taken" would have to be modified a little. The Boston field office idea makes sense - we didn't see Lincoln Lee, he could've been back in NY. I don't think that alt-Fringe Division "mobilised" within a year...in "Over There," it seemed like they wanted to show that Fringe Division was a well established branch of the government. --Aswvwl21 07:13, 23 October 2010 (MST)
- - While that make sense and is very plausible, in the episode over there part 2, Walter bishop and William bell go to Walter's lab in Boston. which tells me not all of Boston was placed in amber. Still i would like to see more about the other universe. and would like to know who they referred to in the graffiti on the wall that said "HE IS HERE" - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rjackson5202 (talk • contribs) .
- - Theoretically speaking, there are more than one alternate universe (as explained by Walter). It is also more plausible in practice, that the Walter and Olivia (and Bell) travelled into different universes. Remember that there is no ONE way to travel, and therefore, it is like picking a random number. However, this seems not be the case in Fringe. Walter watched Walternate experimenting in his lab; showed Elizabeth a sick Peter over there; travelled into a universe where Peter is abducted from. All of which suggests the same universe, because we now have Walternate travelled into this universe, the same Walternate whose son was abducted. Olivia should also travelled into the same universe. Bell is in the universe where he developed gadgets for Walternate and we also see him in the same universe where Walternate and Walter in. The amber also is in line with the theme on the alterverse, which again, suggests the same universe we travelled in. -- Xerophytes Talk | Contribs 05:31, 26 October 2010 (MST)
- - Rjackson - true, but it was in "The Road Not Taken" when Scarlie says to Altlivia (or who he thinks is Altlivia) that she has half of Boston under quarantine lockdown - implying that is when the amber quarantine happened. Which would explain their presence there. Or it could be the producers playing games with us, again. --Aswvwl21 19:57, 26 October 2010 (MST)
