Storyline

- TriviaJust before opening credits the camera pans down to a distant view of Manhattan. Just right of the World Trade Center is a fairly tall, oddly rounded skyscraper. That is the never-built Hotel Attraction, commissioned in 1908 and designed by Antoni Gaudi. Few people knew it had even been considered until certain documents were released in the 1950s.
- GoofsWith the types of difference between the two universes, it would be nearly impossible to keep events in synch down to the personal lives of the main characters, yet this is exactly what is seen where people have relatively the same jobs, live in the same place, and have the same family members. Yet in the broader universe there are such major changes as President Kennedy never being assassinated (presumably meaning no President Johnson and a radically different Vietnam War), the 9/11 attacks partially averted, as well as major cities destroyed by anomalies and thousands dead who were still living in the other universe. Not to mention whatever different events happened in centuries past; with all this, the two universes would have diverged so much that there would be literally no chance of exact copies of people existing on both sides.
- Quotes
Senator Walter "Walternate" Bishop: They may look like us, but don't be fooled, Olivia. They are monsters in our skin.
- Crazy creditsThis episode features an opening title sequence that has been changed from predominantly blue colouring to predominantly red to reflect the fact that the episode is set in the alternate universe. The phrase "Parallel Universes" has been replaced with "First People".

Featured review
Excellent
I tolerate a show like 'Lost' mainly because I liked the first couple of years. I'll admit I strayed a bit during season 2-3 because quite frankly I didn't give a d**n about anybody on the island. The show was just going around in boring, endless circles. No so with 'Fringe'. If anything, I'm MORE interested now than I was a year and a half ago when the show first came on the air. Do they try and copy a bit from 'X-Files'? Da*n right they do, and they're proud of it. They don't even try to hide it, they put Mulder and Scully on TV in the background of some of the shots. And it works perfectly. Is the continued storyline difficult to follow. Not really, because they answer most of the questions each episode and don't leave you hanging from year to year wondering if someone is God or the devil or if they're dead (I'm looking at you again 'Lost') or anything like that. They do leave some mystery from week to week but just enough to keep you wanting more, not so much that you get pi88ed off and don't come back though. I realize I haven't really said anything about this particular episode but if you haven't seen the show at all you can't possibly start watching now and if you do watch the show you're in for one more excellent episode written by Orci, Pinkner, Wyman et al. What a great show and an amazing episode! Now, what happened to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan??
