When people are trapped in a silicone-like substance on a bus, Walter, Peter, and Olivia are brought in to investigate. That was one of the most intriguing setups I’ve seen in a while. When I saw the man let the gas out of the canister, I expected to see the passengers collapse and die, I didn’t expect them to appear as though they were bugs caught in amber, as suggested by Walter.
It was only a matter of time until a character was created who had some sort of psychic-like abilities. Of course, this character didn’t have the general ability to predict events, but he seemed to be able to hone in on a particular conversation between a group of individuals. Walter would later go on to reveal that he and his lab partner worked with the government on a so-called “Ghost Network”, a spectrum which would be unknown to foreign governments and would therefore completely safe from intercepts.
With the seriousness clearly visible, I liked the mix of humor in the episode. Fringe isn’t loaded with humorous moments, but when they come, it’s appreciated.
In the previous episode, we never got to learn anything about Peter’s past. In the pilot, we knew there were some people who would like to get their hands on him, but we didn’t know why. Although we still don’t know why, there was a little confrontation in a diner which I found intriguing. Peter took a memory card containing photos of his being back in the U.S. I’m looking forward to learning more. Peter wasn’t very open to discussing the matter with Walter when he brought it up.
I’ve really enjoyed the way the episodes so far have ended. They really make you want to tune in the next week to learn more about what is going on by making viewers ask more questions. What sort of deal is going on between Phillip Broyles and Nina Sharp? What’s going on with John Scott? Are they still trying to recover his memory?
