Synopsis: Every second counts when a strange, almost-otherworldly parasite mysteriously attaches itself to the internal organs of a dying FBI agent. With a life on the line and strong suspicions of a Pattern connection, Agent Dunham rushes to Germany to meet with an imprisoned man who reveals disconcerting details of a much larger threat. Meanwhile, Peter and Walter attempt to help Olivia by tapping into a dead man’s brainwaves.
General Thoughts: An episode filled with twists, turns and deception – rewatching was so much fun, especially knowing the role David Jones would go on to play in the rest of the season. Oh Jones, tell us it wasn’t all daddy issues!?
Below the jump I share my new observations and perspectives, explore the unresolved mysteries, highlight the mysteries closed by information gained in this episode and cap it off with my final thoughts on this episode retrospective.
Update: It looks like there are clues in the poster – the leaf (ala leaf glyph) being the most obvious. And is that a Slusho Walter is slurping? Take a close look and let us know if you find anything!
Update 2: Below the jump we reveal the whereabouts of the leaf, 6 fingered hand, (we think) the seahorse and more! Update 3: Slightly larger version added.
Here is the first Fringe season 2 poster, with the tagline “New Cases, Endless Impossibilities”.
FOX have put together a Fringe Comic-Con video featuring behind the scenes footage and interviews with the cast members, Anna Torv, Jasika Nicole, John Noble and Joshua Jackson. We’ve now added the embedded video above. Oh, and keep a look out for the fake Observer
Synopsis: After weeks of being reported missing, a woman with a rare disease resurfaces in suburban Massachusetts and inexplicably causes excruciating pain and subsequent death to those she encounters. As the gruesome scene is investigated, dangerous levels of radiation are detected, and unusual circumstances surrounding the case point to illegal human drug trials and possibly something even more sinister. Meanwhile, Walter obsesses about cotton candy, Peter strikes a bargain with Nina Sharp and a startling piece of Olivia’s past is revealed.
General Thoughts: Similar to Power Hungry, this episode was more enjoyable on a rewatch-level than I thought it would be. I think my diluted perception of the early episodes indicate the great strides the series made in the second half of the season. Though the episode suffers from frustrating ‘episodic’ traits, there are a few sprinklings of the overarching storyline that has relevance today.
Below the jump I share my new observations and perspectives, explore the unresolved mysteries, highlight the mysteries closed by information gained in this episode and cap it off with my final thoughts on this episode retrospective.
