Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)I most say... It was better than previous episode and somehow gave me new hope that this show is worth watching but I still it lacks little bit of the continues storylines. I know there is pattern and all that but I do not see the connections and it feels like from week to week you watch the team investigating something new. Even the little hint back to the first episode with those man visions did not saved that aspect.
But.. I liked the story of this episode.. That man and his visions and the piano.. Weird, but I totally loved the piano. I cannot say it was best part of the episode, but it added something.. and it worked.
A troubled man who can see events related to the Pattern in advance. Another who kills a bus load of people for who knows what in a horrific manner. Olivia and her team must uncover what it is the killer wanted that was on that bus and retrieve it. hide show
Very mysterious and cynical direction for the show to go in. Blair Brown as Nina Sharp seems at the root of everything that is going on but we as is Agent Olivia are out of the loop. Cryptic things are said and strange situations are shown but no explanations of much of what is going on.
We knew that Nina was involved in the board that oversees Broyles operating group, but it now seems as if they maybe run and finance it as well. We have been told that Massive Dynamics is one of the ten richest entities in the world and has more control than any one country.
I now have my suspicions about John Scott and how much of a traitor he was or is as I don't see a clear direction with that yet. We continue to see development of the main character group and traits and characteristics of those people involved in Olivia's team. The elder Bishop is a pure scientist where the ends always justifies the means. That is what pure science is about. Think about the Atomic Bomb! His son is more of a sensitive intellect and obviously learned some bad traits in his years to survive but his ethical sense is much more evolved than his father. Olivia seems like the kind of person who can't be corrupted. I think that is why Broyles picked her.
That whole situation with the bus was quite horrific and fascinating at the same time. Much the same as the incident with the substance on the plane in the Pilot episode.
I think this episode was much more in the vain of the first episode, more action with a lot more cryptic pieces to it if that is even possible. One of the problems with this kind of suspense though is the technic of leaving the viewer in the dark only works just so long before it becomes boring or annoying. Hopefully that will not happen here. A recent show called Defying Gravity which is very intellectual in nature made that mistake by leaving viewers strung along for the first eight episodes before revealing something of real importance.
Still a very entertaining episode and it leaves a lot of questions to answer in later episodes. Thanks for reading...
Good episode with a interesting exploration. hide show
After the previous episode we have a better case to follow. This seemed to me like some filler since it doesn´t seems too relevant to the main plot, which is a mystery for now, but the connections are there.
I liked the mystery, first it seemed that Roy had some power, but then all was transformed in the science point of view, really good work. As expected, we have a interesting ending, this episode lacked of intensity for any type of great suspense, neither we had twist.
This episode focused more in mystery and Case development which was well done. I am waiting for the next episode, because I am looking for the episode that will make me want to see this show badly, until now it is just light curiositu
it is very exciting tv show to me, it has a high imaginative power. hide show
It hit me a new impulse to the my imagination and it is very exciting tv show to me, it has a high imaginative power. Good character chemistry and plot are as realistic as sci-fi can get. Awesome, awesome show. Although I am not a huge fan of "toughguy Women" Olivia dunham is believeable. Not to mention easy on the eyes. Each episode I like her more and more. Jeremy Jackson is surprisingly likeable as well. He is no pacey in this show. He is smart, like his father but not crazy. Him and dunham have a good, but not too sappy sexual tension that is evident but not explored every episode. Last but not Least Dr. Walter Bishop. Refreshingly honest with a hint of insanity. He makes a great genius as well as a comic relief. The father son relastionship between him and Peter is great too. To sum up Fringe is a great supplement to the X-files yet. I hope it stays on the air for a good long while. Watch this show. Peace

I really enjoyed this episode for the reason that we see into a few of the characters past and learn a bit more about them. For example, we learn of a man stalking Peter Bishop and trying to capture pictures. Peter Bishop confronts the man, threatens him, and steals his photo card. We also learn of Dr. Walter Bishop's prior science expieriments, especially on Roy, appears in this episode. Dr. Walter Bishop also worked on Roy before his stint in the mental hospital. The suspense continues as Nina Sharp and Phillip Broyles meet, we learn that they are somehow working together. Next episode will reveal alot about these characters.
