green/purple, red/red/red...amber?!?

Yeah, i saw the second episode...it was a little better.

SPOILERS! / theories

The first thing that everyone sees (in the "Previously on Fringe" bit) is Walter telling us that there is an infinite number of universes out there.  So it hits me:  This season of the show isn't either of the universes that the last three seasons were about.  Well, it might be the red universe is still the alternate universe, but "our" universe just doesn't exist anymore.  We're stuck in an amber universe now (which is disheartening, to say the least, as we now associate this color with Amber and being frozen alive indefinitely).  But this is abundantly obvious through Anna Torv's brilliant acting.  Fauxlivia is vastly different from Olivia who is vastly different from who we now have...let's call her Frostlivia.

Where is Charlie?

Proof (re: step-father's fate):  child Peter changed child Olivia's life (and therefore future).  Is he even capable of reaching Frostlivia?  Is anything of Olivia even left?!?

Incidentally, about last week... I like Lincoln, but whose bright idea was it to try to transfer the audience's primary interest onto him and away from Olivia?  What, she's not interesting and empathetic-evoking enough without Peter all of a sudden?
