It's a welcome change. All three of those actors are very talented, and were picked to star in Fringe for a reason. While the series is essentially a three person story, these other three can carry their own weight. In fact, letting Peter be believed dead for a little while might give them a chance to be fleshed out even more, and in that regard, I welcome the idea. However, seeing as how the writers made Olivia hallucinate Peter in the alternate universe episodes so that Jackson could keep starring every week makes me think that even if the characters think Peter is dead, he will probably still get ample screen time. I'm not asking for less Jackson, I think this is the best role of his career to date, but I would like a bit more fairness to Brown, Nicole, and Reddick.
That aside, I have no complaints 
about this season of Fringe. It's tightly written, wonderfully exciting, super suspenseful, and beyond creative. Check out Fringe, now airing Friday nights at 9 p.m. on FOX.

Bravo on a great review of the best show that has ever come out on TV except for 24. Peter has become the central character on the show. What I have failed to see however, is what the Observer meant by the lesson Walter learned last week. I must have missed something but It's fantastic. All the points you raised are spot on. Well done.

Wait a minute so Josh should be pushed to the side just so Blair, Jasika and Lance get more screentime? What about Walter and Olivia? Those two have been the center of attention since the show began!

You are being TOTALLY unfair to joshua jackson. You act like he is not worth being on this show!

Not at all! I love Joshua Jackson! If you look at my article, I said it was the best performance he's given yet in his career. However, I am saddened that other great characters haven't gotten as much. Peter's part was expanded, while still maintaining good story for Olivia and Walter. I am hoping that the writers could balance good story for six if they try, instead of three overshadowing the other three.
