There's no coming back from that.

Looking forward to having some quesitons answered next week (Though knowing JJ Abrams we'll be left asking "wha?!"). This season has been a great ride!

You know what's funny... on a show that deals with parallel worlds, pyrokinesis, deja vu, it's the phone app that calls overheard number tones that has me dubious.
Btw, great show.

My tivo cut off as the MD lady was getting into the elevator. What happened after that? I hope next season they put some crap show i dont care about after AI and it can run long as much as it likes.

Interestingly, I watched it this morning on Hulu and the audio was out of sync by maybe a half second. Never had that issue with Hulu before.

Thought they went a bit overboard with the Star Trek references in an effort to pimp the film. Hopefully, that's the end of that.

Fuck, I didn't watch this yesterday, but it's in my DVR. How much American Idol lasted past its time?
I hate AI!!!
And yeah, I know I should have added more minutes to my series recording.

I keep thinking "they only have 4 left, there is no way it's going to run over" and I keep getting screwed every week.

I have a hot sports opinion on Leonard Nimoy's voice in this show so far, and possibly, his acting.
As much as it pains me to say this, so far the few times we have heard his voice, Nimoy's voice sounds HORRIBLE. The poor guy sounds labored, as if he has to force his lines out. He just sounds very old. Is he really going to carry scenes on this show, deliver long bouts of lines, etc?
I know he's in Star Trek and I assume he does fine, but....am I the only one feeling this?

I hear you cornflakeguy. He does sound old...and he is old. Nothing wrong with that, even if our youth obsessed society says there is.
But it's still Nimoy, and somehow I can just skip past how old he sounds. I've always like his voice and to me he still sounds "legendary".

That certain person seemed so unreasonable and shot out of a cannon that from his very first appearance I thought something was fishy.

Great episode and less filler.
John Noble should win an Emmy.
Why isn't there a TV Talk Award Show ... errr Thread?

Now, I just want to clarify a point I believe they made clear...
During the scene in which Walter is visited in the cafe by Olivia, did anyone get the impression that this was a jump to the "alternate" universe? It appeared as though, in this universe, Olivia was dead...

Hmmm, interesting. Like a "Sixth Sense" type thing in that only Walter saw her and heard her but no one else did. It happened after Peter walked away and she was gone when he came back. Plus Peter never saw her in the place. What are the chances she would show up, only speak to Walter, then leave, and not acknowledge Peter as she came and went in all this.
Considering the other "Flashes of reality" She was having throughout the show this is a very interesting theory...
