It was immediately after that that Peter found out though so I'm not sure how they should have continued playing that?
Oops, I think I was so confusing because I was fake-remembering a longer gap here. (I am totally blaming the looooong gap between Olivia knowing and Peter finding out. Which had excellent episodes, but killed me with So. Much. Foreshadowing.) So, I was less interested in Walter finding God than I was a little disappointed that the quieter mailbox miracle didn't carry over into the dramatic reveal the next episode?
It does say a lot that I'm so surprised by Peter in this last episode because we've never heard any of this before.
I think it's the principle of the thing that's making me so conflicted too. (On one level, it's hilarious how indirectly involved Peter continues to be in everything despite a huge chunk of plot supposedly about him.) It's not that I *don't* like him, but even if they give me enough not to dislike the story they're making for him, it's still not what I came to the show for or wanted. And yeah, it feels odd, like, "whoa, too far outside the status quo, reset to Peter!". Which, not exactly. BUT STILL.
MAGIC SCIENCE BRAIN?
