But I still found myself getting fairly tense throughout. Especially after Olivia almost blew off Peter's head. That really set me on edge for the rest of the episode.<br /><br />I also think that having a general sense of where the larger mythology is headed is making these early episodes much more gripping for me to watch. It gives me a certain peace of mind and, for the most part, let's me enjoy the ride a lot more. Especially all the little character reactions and moments along the way. <br /><br />This week my favorite little moment was Walter asking if he could join Peter's fishing trip. Such a nice father-son beat.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-46789900693419071662011-07-20T23:26:13.143-04:002011-07-20T23:26:13.143-04:00The derivative monster plot was gagworthy, and I k...The derivative monster plot was gagworthy, and I kept thinking (as you said, Josie) that Boston and Lansdale were way too far apart for all that back and forthing. The best part of it was Peter taking charge. And his face when Olivia almost shot him.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-83863819763243245912009-09-28T14:28:55.538-04:002009-09-28T14:28:55.538-04:00I was also intriegued by Peter's memory of his...I was also intriegued by Peter's memory of his father being too busy to go fishing with him - who I suspect was really his father-from-another-universe and not Walter?<br /><br />What a lovely name for a fishing lure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-77222736807448434112009-09-27T05:08:30.370-04:002009-09-27T05:08:30.370-04:00Great review, Josie.

I liked a lot of the character development going on but the main mystery plot was ripped from about a dozen different X-Files episodes. <br /><br />I like the idea of Olivia taking a wrong turn though the windshield and ended up in the wrong universe. Would make for a good mind frak later on and an effective way to retcon the Charlie situation. <br /><br />Also love Nina Sharpe’s idea of therapy; bowling. The Dude would approve.Mark Greighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984193299389764649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-23788132749951671822009-09-27T02:17:08.776-04:002009-09-27T02:17:08.776-04:00I was wondering if anyone else made that connectio...I was wondering if anyone else made that connection about 'borrowed' plot points from Lincoln/Child.<br /><br />Remember S1E2 - A monster was killing for pituitary glands? That was straight out of another Lincoln/Child book called "Relic".<br /><br />I think it's a little much to be consequence. Jeff Pinkner seems to be involved with both of those episodes, among others.Frank Acosta Retirement Teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017135716326949019noreply@blogger.com
