Changed the OP photo. Cool new promotional artwork released today.

Draven

Well, that was great.

A freak-of-the-week situation I'd never seen on another show, Cameron with a porn stache, and Olivia at the end...did not see that coming!

DJariya

That was freaking awesome.

at Walter and Hurley smoking a bong together at the beginning. Nice little cameo by Jorge Garcia.

John Noble rocked the house in this episode. The balloon men case was really cool.

Walter: Belly is that you?

Nina: No, Walter it's still me.

Loved the little twist at the end with William Bell.

Going to need to see how Anna Torv pulls off a Leonard Nimoy impression - either this is going to be crazy awesome or we just witnessed the jump the shark moment

Pointyskull

I thought her impression was great

ATX

can't really jump the shark on this type of show

i mean shit, the fact that Walter created or is directly responsible for everything is conclusive evidence of this

i thought it was the Nina Sharp character lady doing the voiceover instead of Torv

they caught the raspy essence of aging Nimoy so it worked

Some good news, Fringe finished 2nd in the timeslot with 1.5, although the total viewership (which doesn't mean shit anyways) dropped to 3.76M viewers.

Can't wait for next week. I love

chowderhead

those are actually terrible numbers for such an expensive show. You can dump any reality show in that slot and probably o just as well if not better.

DJariya

Yeah I know those numbers aren't ideal, but the lead-in for Fringe is Kitchen Nightmares, which gets a little over 4M viewers a week. The bright side is the 1.5 is pretty close to what it was getting Thursday nights.

Deftones

i think it's gone from Fox. I pray another network sees the potential for this show and picks it up.

windom

This would be a good show for the CW to replace Smallville with on Friday nights and to be paired with Supernatural.

I doubt it would happen though. CW seems to have a bunch of pilots in development and very few timeslots to fill. I don't see any other network picking it up without a big decrease in budget.

Deftones

Olivia's Walter impression was hilarious.

DJariya

You mean at the end? She was impersonating Leonard Nimoy/William Bell.

Deftones

yeah. i meant william. not walter. too many damn 'M' names.

spainlinx0

Or 'W' names.

Deftones

that too.

lack of sleep is killing me.

johnnysd

I am pretty sure it is the best ratings that Fox has ever had in that time slot.

rfduncan

For anyone who cares, this week's Entertainment Weekly had an article about FRINGE calling it "The best show you're not watching".

Goldberg74

EW has has a chub for Fringe since Day 1... and it's well deserved, because it IS "The Best Show You're Not Watching!"

Raul3

Good to see that they are "resurrecting" 80's sidekicks

First Doc and now Cameron.

And of course the first one was Nimoy.

Aphex Twin

The heavy-set surveillance dude in the beginning of the episode smoking the marriage of juana was also on an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm as a pot dealer! If he's not careful, he may be typecasted as a stoner his entire career and be known just for weed.

Question: Would you do Olivia with Bell's being inside of her?

mugwump

The real question is what would William Bell do while he was occupying Olivia's body -- "Peter, as much as we do need to save the multiverse first I would like to be alone for three, no make it four, hours."
