That is to say, it wasn't terrible, or annoying, or bad in any way. The characters were well developed and their motivation was explored in both universes. But it's also to say it wasn't edge-of-your-seat, or engrossing, or great in any way, either. At best it flushed out details from Peter's abduction decades ago. Including the first time Peter and Olivia met. We get to see more of both Walters, and their respective wives, as well as peeks into Olivia's and Peter's upbringing. All of which are key to the characters' histories but ultimately aren't really fascinating for the audience. Probably because by the time we come along to the story, now, 3/4 of this has either been forgotten or repressed by the people involved. Everything shown in this episode we could have extrapolated from what we already knew if we cared to think about it.
That being said, the most memorable scenes were Peter in the toy store looking over the Ecto-500, the first Joust joystick game for the ATARI, and a model of the original Battlestar Galactica. Now THOSE took me back a-ways!
