"Fringe" Preview: Against the Flow

This season of "Fringe" has been odd kind of animal, and I think a great deal of the confrontation to it has been out of simple misunderstanding. The first seven episodes of this season have been of a slower and contemplative pace, much like Season 1. That is mostly because we are establishing a new set of characters, and also a new universe. The writers have made a gamble to tell a season long story about this fixed group of people, using Peter as the conduit for such, and the story that will take up the remainder of this season really kicks off tonight. But there is one question that holds my interest for future season(s) of the show, if there is even one. If Peter is here, what is going on back where HE is from?
