5.06 "Through The Looking Glass And What Walter Found There" TV REVIEW

IF YOU'RE YET TO SEE THE EPISODE, STOP READING NOW! SPOILERS LIE AHEAD

Episode 5.06
Writer: David Fury
Director: Jon Cassar

.

OBSERVING THE (LITTLE) OBSERVER Well, we're assuming the bald boy is a junior Observer – the resemblance is rather striking. The kid first appeared in season one episode "Inner Child" (1.15), discovered alone under a derelict building. He later forms an empathic bond with Olivia. Presumably Walter doesn't remember him because of some timeline issues caused by Peter's hopping in and out of existence. (Or maybe it's just a case of Walter being Walter.)

SPECULATION Who is Donald? How much does he know about the plan? Was it🥃 him wh♏o took "Observer kid" away and left the radio? Could Donald be the as-yet-unseen-in-season-five September?

TRIVIA DIrector Jon Cassar was a regular on 24, and helmed the first two episodes of .

TRIVIA 2 The title is based on the works of Lewis Carroll. The full title of his follow-up to Alice's Adventures In Wonderland is Through The Looking Glass, And What Alice Found There – not, as many believe, Alice Through The Looking Glass.

NITPICK Why was an Observer able to use his gun in the bubble universe to kill Cecil, while Oliviaꦍ's weapon was only operational Over Here?

PETER'S SKILLS So, it seems having Observer tech in the back of your neck has its perks, as Peter's learned how to fight like Neo in The Matrix , how to teleport, how to see portals to other dimensions and how to see the world in a blue hue. Actually, we're not sure that last one is much of an advantage – maybe the lack of colour the Observers see in the world explains why they're so miserable? That said, was that a hint of a smile on Windmark's face when he realises Peter's implanted himself with the Observer device? Whatever Windmark's thinking, we get the feeling that some of the side-effects of Peter's new toy won't be entirely positive. Could exte🥃nsive hair loss be next? (See Best Line)

BEST LINE
Observer [to Peter]:
"I know what you have done. You have made a grave mistake. You do not realise what is happening to you."
