    That's the second time that bullet's been in a brain.

    The next glyph is A.

    Pleated?


    (I know, it's a stretch, but maybe Walter takes up sewing next week).

    So far we have P L E A

    I think we only have time for one more glyph.

    I may have to check it out just to see Arianny Celeste.

    Which means that PLEAD is the most likely word.

    Josh Jackson sure does have those Observer speech-patterns down, doesn't he?

    Nothing like performing half-assed surgery on yourself without even being able to see where you're cutting yourself.

    The next glyph is D.

    PLEAD

    Was that Tinkerbell? Was that Oz?

    I was assuming his Observer abilities were helping to guide him. At least I'd hope so!

    I'm just glad Olivia was able to get through to Peter. I was afraid he was going to be Observer-like forever.

    I can't wait to watch next week's episode which reminds me of the LSD trip episode in S3 when Peter and Walter went into Olivia's mind. Hopefully, we'll finally see the mysterious Donald.

    I can't help but wonder if there'll be some after-affects from having had it in his head that long.

    So it seems that the glyph applies to the this episode.

    He probably didn't even clean that knife either.

    Great episode. Fantastic acting by JJ at the end.

    Mysterious Donald buys the Emerald city, then tells the Wizard: "You're Fired."

    Exploration of the human condition worthy of Star Trek at its best. Astonishingly good episode.

    It was very good. I liked how the lack of faith was challenged by the woman in the junkyard and then recycled through by Olivia. It was her love that brought Peter back.

    That is a terrific assessment of this season in general. They've all been top-notch eps and more like TOS in theme than what Trek is now.

    Good stuff. I can't wait to see what's coming next, yet I'm sad that we're so close to it being over.
