I think Fringe may be the best exploration J.J. Abrams has offered of the possibilities supplied by alternate universes. From the can of worms Walter Bishop has wraught on his and Walternate's universes by stealing the "other" Peter, to the minute choices individuals make that alter entire lives.
This week both Olivia and faux-Livia teamed up with Alt-Lincoln to track down and stop a serial killer in the other universe by using his alter who diverged from his inherent destructive behavior because of one person. The outcomes for both versions of the professor were sad, to say the least.
Walter is taking more drastic steps to block the apparations of Peter by covering any reflective surfaces, and blasting Mozart to drown out the sound of Peter's wavering voice. Peter's sacrifice at the end of the last season is gearing up to be the big question I hope this season will solve, "What happened to Peter Bishop?"
