Fringe: "Safe"

Hey, gang—Noel is out being a movie critic somewhere (thinks he's all special with his screenings and his Best of lists and everything), so you're stuck with me as a guest reviewer tonight. Sorry about the late posting; between this and House , I am currently cursing my inability to halt the flow of time. Nobody stops time in "Safe," but given Walter's proclivities, and the seemingly limitless ambitions of the people operating in and around the Pattern, I wouldn't be surprised if that came up eventually. This is a mythology episode to the bone; we get return appearances by Mr. Jones (aka, Creepy German Guy), the heartless Mr. Loeb, and more of Olivia and her gradual assimilation of John Scott's memories. That last bit turns out to be particularly important; by the end, everybody wants a crack at what's inside Olivia's head, and it's doubtful that the ones who finally nab her care much about keeping that "crack" metaphorical. Getting ahead of myself, though. I'm not sure you'd call it a Freak-Meet ... (link)
