Walter Bishop beats out the competition to claim victory in the latest Fringie of the Week contest. At the time of posting, Walter had 39% of the votes and now draws level with his son in the overall standings. After his bravery in facing his demons last week, few can begrudge him this victory.
Current standings: Peter & Walter 4, [...]

Here’s our short and to the point review of episode 1.08 “The Equation”.
The Good

Excellent integration of the overarching storyline and mythological elements.
The evolving relationship between Walter and Peter.
The performances of John Noble and Joshua Jackson.
All of the St. Claire’s scenes - particularly the discussions between Walter and Dash, Walter’s “visitor” and the Peter/Sumner face-off.
Olivia’s life being [...]

“The Equation” provided yet more evidence of technology hybridizing realities and dreams, hopes and fears, obsessions and possessions. In a poignant scene, Dashiell tells Walter “it was all a bad dream!”, when referring to the experiences the ‘woman’ (Joanne Ostler) implanted into his mind. Throughout the episode we see the same thing happen to young Ben, tantalizing [...]

In his latest round of lab notes (click to enlarge), Walter remarks on the ‘like-minds’ scenario, with both Ben and Dashiell trying to solve the same equation using different mediums (music and maths).
Throughout the notes, Walter seems to be chastising himself, but it’s not his alternate self who is doing the chastising (which would make sense), [...]

It is often stated that Walter Bishop is a man who lives purely for the rush of scientific endeavour and the pursuit of exploration. He’s a man who, before last nights episode, has given little consideration to the value of human life over his true calling. But much like Sylar in last Monday’s “Heroes”installment, we begin to see the [...]

Here we see a potentially hidden clue on the keys to Walter Bishop’s old institution, St. Claire’s. On the set of keys (inset, top) are markings, or writings, which appear to be similar in type to those that The Observer scribbled in 1.04 “The Arrival” (main picture). Also, the keys appear to have an “A” shaped Aleph (inset, bottom [...]

Agent Loeb points to some information concerning his findings on page 47, this of course being a major shout-out to one of JJ. Abrams classic TV shows, Alias.
Socks To Be You

There appears to be a curious symbol or glyph on Broyles sock [...]

Here’s our short and sweet good and bad review:
THE GOOD
1) Some important back-story developments and reveals - notably with Olivia showing more sides to her character, Peter’s recollection that his father went all B.F. Skinner on his ass as a child, and Broyles becoming more 3 dimensional.
2) Pattern-events are still happening in Olivia’s back-yard, but [...]

John Noble Buddy TV interview on the future of Fringe:
Now that the first season of Fringe is really kicking into high gear, Noble spoke with the press to drop hints about what’s coming up for his character.  He discussed the strained relationship between Walter and Peter, and also revealed an interesting fact about one of his [...]

(click to read lab notes)
-Bishop marvels at the “scientific achievement” of the parasite, despite the wicked intentions behind it’s creation. He compares it to the VW Beetle, and in his own wacky way, makes a decent point.
-Walter reminisces about his past attempts at creating life, and one could argue that he’s referring to Peter when talking about the [...]
