Thanks, Jen! I only wish more people had played along, although I see Oreo jumped in at the 11th hour and got the same answers as me.
Looking at the one answer I missed (#1) I can’t believe I picked Nina Sharp as we rarely, if ever, see her in an “off duty” capacity. I guess she just looks like a woman who needs a drink! I’m also a bit embarrassed that I didn’t notice Olivia always having a drink when off duty, although in my defense I don’t have the DVDs and even if I did I never listen to commentary.
Okay, so what did I win? Is it one of those nice bells in a glass case Nina got at Bell’s funeral? Is it a Show-Me replica with my name on it? Or is it the satisfaction of knowing I came in both first and last place in a contest?
*POST AUTHOR*
That would be: the satisfaction of knowing you came in both first and last place in a contest.
But it’s an honor! I swear!
I believe you and graciously accept the honor! (although one of those bells *would* look cool) ;o)
I think the answer to number 9 is that she tried to prevent regular Walter from crossing through to the other side when he was trying to bring a cure to his alt-son, Peter.
This is revealed in the episode called “Peter” season 2.
xx loves me some Fringe quiz.
