Review - Fringe Season 3 Episode 9 Marionette

Wow, "Marionette" had lots creepy imagery with people's body parts being taken to the marionette herself. The plot isn't very complex with a straightforward story, but it bridges the subplot of Peter and Olivia. At first, Olivia is somewhat fine with the situation, but after seeing how much the other Olivia intruded into her life, things start crumbling. She's passive-aggressive towards Peter throughout the investigation, and after the doctor tells her that he knew something was wrong with the reanimated woman, she believes that Peter, too, should have known something was wrong. Is she right? It's hard to take sides, but I think we should give Peter the benefit of the doubt since he was trapped on the other side for a while.

A lot of people bashed Anna Torv early on for her wooden acting, which was a valid complaint, but you have to admit that she was been terrific this season. It was absolutely heartbreaking to see her in shambles. Looking ahead, how do Olivia and Peter continue working together?.

An Observer shows up at the end of the episode to tell whoever he's calling about Walter. Ehh... I want more information to genuinely care about the teaser.

Score: 9.3/10
