Might just be me but for those that are new and those that are old, do you like the "break messages" Where it tells you how long it will be until the show comes back? I know both my Fiancee and I really like them......Its almost like they are talking to the DVR crowd and saying skip 10/60/90 seconds ahead and we will be back ......
Cant wait for tonights episode though, I am hooked into this show until it sinks....

This episode was okay, but it needed more Walter. Looks like Olivia's sister is developing an interest in Peter.

I started to cringe at the beginning with the hand coming out of the computer, but was relieved when they explained it as a hallucination brought on by auditory/visual stimuli.

Still a big fan of the series, but that was probably the weakest ep of the season so far, imo. I guess I'm just not a fan of hacker-themed storylines, and all of those wacky user interfaces that allow them to easily find an address of someone downloading a file in about 30 seconds.
Where was The Observer? I missed him if he was there somewhere...
And damn, Astrid

Walter always gets the best lines in this show. The one about the $2000 for baboon seminal fluid was hilarious.

I had to explain to the people I was watching the show with why I suddenly exclaimed "Sobotka!" when the villain was revealed.
It was a so-so episode, but I wouldn't call it the weakest of the season - I'd still rank it higher than a couple of the earliest episodes. I am disappointed that they've gone with the cliche "Asshole investigator trying to shut down the unit and getting in the way of the heroes' work" plot that's been seen a million times; I hope it ends soon.

Growing tired of this show.
Same forumla every week. The angry FBI guy who no one would ever, and no one is taking seriously is a major annoyance and adds NOTHING to the show. Apparently Blair Brown is too busy running her company to even be in the show as if that ever had anything to do with the plot. There is/was some type of over arching story, wasn't there? Or is this just turning into a soap opera with crying mother's and cute sisters?
It is obvious that Abrams can come up with good ideas and then manage to leave everyone hanging while he tries to figure out what to do next.
I moved it down on the dvr priority list.

I was expecting the Dawson's Creek reunion to be mentioned way earlier too... looks like Joshua Jackson hooked someone up with a job
