Fringe -- "The Arrival" -- 9/30/2008
 

Synopsis

Cool. Should be an interesting episode! :thumbsup:

Boy am I glad I stuck around for 1 more episode....

Hopefully this is the start of some mythology/story arc

Now that's what I'm talking about.

Agreed. I went in thinking this would be my last episode, but this was a big improvement.

Looks like we're starting to get some mystery now. Unanswered questions, mysterious characters...good stuff. This show has gotten better each week.

Yes, indeed. This was a substantial improvement over episode three, which I felt was also better than the first two. This may get a solid 2-3 more from me before any ditching now.

By far the best episode and certianly one that starts it seems the true mythology of the series.

Definitely the strongest episode of the season. Peter goes from being Scully to Mulder in one episode and it didn't feel contrived and forced. Good work.

From the earlier episodes:

I almost didn't watch, but the wife likes the show so I watched it with her. It may finally be hooking me in after last night. I just cannot stand the main chick though.

noice :d.

Anyways, I liked how they finally introduced a nice arc style episode. Very cool about the observer.

Anyone else notice that the jalapenos he ordered were just green peppers? :lol:

Really? I thought they were sliced jalapenos..?

I've never seen jalapenos sliced that way, but they just looked too green and the insides looked wrong. I'd be willing to bet they just used green peppers for that.

Also, the pepper was too black.

Yeah, they looked like green peppers.

Another good episode and nice to see that that the bald guy appeared before.

definitely green peppers. great episode. hopefully this will be a continuing arc.

And if the show takes off, we'll be debating the significance of the green peppers for years.

This episode def had more of a lost feel. I'll be paying attention to the background more often knowing that hidden things will be thrown in!!!

I usually dislike chicks on TV shows, but I have to disagree with you here. I think she does a very good job.

This is kind of embarrassing but I was watching this last night live, and sadly fell asleep with about 15-20 minutes left to go. I remember the egg being hidden, they bad guy looking for it and the Observer meeting the scientist in the diner. Anyone willing to recap what happened after that?

the bad guy in the ski hat grabs the son, hooks him up to the same machine used earler in the ep. Pacey is, errr I mean Peter Bishop is all "I don't know where my dad hide it" but the guy some how learns it anyways, even when Peter really has no idea where it is at.

Peter + ski hat bad guy go to where the egg is.. Blond chick shows up. Pew pew pew gun battle. Ski hat gets shot, pacey, errrr I mean Peter runs into the Observer who "knows what he is thinking", then Observer knocks Peter out.

Eggs disappears into the ground, Observer calls someone and says it's on schedule. Peter wakes up, talks to his father, father says memory can be learned by osmosis.. Then some story about how they died in a car crash but the Observer has saved them saying "I'll need you some day"..

Peter then decides to stay with the team rather then leave..

best ep so far.. Lots of random "wtf?" not a lot of answers. Still not sure the show is going to make it but I'll keep watching.

Thanks for the recap. I remember Pacey being hooked up to the machine but I was dozing in and out by that point.

Wait, who died in a car crash but was saved?

When Pacey and his dad were younger, they were in a car crash and were saved by Mr. Clean
