currently watching season 2 to catch up for season 3 premier, this episode was phenomenal

Just catching up on DVD myself. This episode was easily the best of the series to date like others have said. You could tell things were building up to this as well.

I've seen snippers of review (for what that's worth) about season 3 saying it's the best the show has been. I hope that this episode serves as a jumping off point to get there. Not that Fringe has been bad per se, but it doesn't normally leave me wanting more. I know some friends watched the first few of season 1 but gave up for that reason alone. I hope this episode is the turning point where everything else just sucks you in.

Wow. I loved everything about this episode. The 80's opening was right up my alley too, just fucking awesome.

Wow, your a season behind. Let me guess, your catching up via BD.

Haha yes I am, I'll be finishing up season two tonight. Now I hope there is someway for me to start watching season three.
