Fringe: Stowaway Rewatch
June 20, 2015 10:01 AM - Season 3, Episode 17 - Subscribe
William Bell gets Olivia involved in a timeshare scheme. A woman fails to commit her own suicide.
I do think Anna Torv channeling Leonard Nimoy is really uncanny. It's not so much that she mimics him perfectly, because she doesn't - she really portrays it as a successful blend of Bell's personality in Olivia's body. Creepy and gross actually, if you think about it. Especially when he's a bit of a dirty old man.
I really felt for this episode's protagonist, Dana. I know that for me, the knowledge that death is someday going to happen is a great comfort. To have that comfort gone, impossible, despite multiple attempts - especially when everyone you loved has been killed so horribly. Survivor guilt. Actually, now that I think about it, Dana is not the only mum to commit suicide at least partly because of guilt, so in some ways this is an echo of the ongoing main character story all over again.
A very moving episode all the same.

At this point Anna Torv has played Oliva, Fauxlivia, Olivia pretending to be Fauxlivia, Fauxlivia pretending to be Olivia, and Olivia possessed by Bell. All perfect.

There really is something extraordinary to it. The slight uptalk? The different smile? I can't put my finger on it, but it's exactly right.
