Ohhh, I have been watching it on DVR on the weekend with the girlfriend (she watches Grey's). So I have been behind in reacting to shows. But wow, awesome. Kept pausing and fast forwarding the last 2 eps to see the differences.

The big difference over there is that there was no American civil war (Virginia is not divided into West Virginia, and Andrew Jackson was not a war hero). Maybe this led to no airplanes either. We saw a helicopter but everything is airships, and planes evolved in WWI and WWII making airships obsolete. Also hostilities between USA and German prevented America from selling helium to Germany and why the Heindenburgh was filled with hydrogen.

Anyway, crazy crazy ep. The alternate Olivia infiltrating this universe is going to be a great storyline.

Here's my thoughts.

Walternate - Super evil. He is what Walter might have become if he did not ask Bell to remove parts of his mind. This guy has manipulated and entire world to follow his crusade, and while he tell them it's to solve the problems, I think he wants to burn down everything for revenge. I don't think Walter's 1st cross over is the domino to cause all the "events" on the other side. I think it's Walternate tearing holes and making wreckless experiments. Maybe Walter and Walternate crossed paths in the past too, who knows.

The Wave Synch - They said it was old tech!!! Bell made parts for it, he did not make it!!!! Stay with me here... but I wondered "why only 2 universes?" Every alternate universe theory I have heard of says if it happens natturally there are an infinate number of them. So why 2? and why can Peter power it? I think the observers (or something else above them) made it long ago. Like any good experiment you need a control to compair it against. What is the use of observing something if you don't have something to compair it to to know it is different. For some reason they needed a human key to power it. But as a failsafe for that there is an incurable deseise that only affects that certain genetic make up at a very young age. Now that it's cured Peter can be used to power the machine and reverse the 2 universes (or will it eventually be used to create more?)

Awesome show.
