The story should have ended with Tony Todd eviscerating Walter after his rendition of "Candy Man".
Yeah, Anna Torv's never exactly impressed me with her range, and this episode unfortunately exposes her lack of flexibility. Ah well, the strength of this show has always been the supporting cast anyway.
(And what is with the shade of lipstick everybody seems to wearing--I don't think anybody looks good in that. The Mmm-I-just-drank-a-pint-of-arterial-blood look.)
Nice, offbeat episode--reminded me of the X-Files' occasional 'comedy' episode, although it got progressively less funny in tone (and it seems they forgot about poor Rachel). Interesting revision on the mythology that speaks nicely to Walter's mindset, though I've never really been of a fan of recent-history period pieces. I'm looking forward to seeing Peter flying more-or-less solo next week a lot more.

That was fucking awful.
I will admit that Olivia looked hot, though.
Anyone catch her in the 5th episode of "The Pacific". She played the actress Virginia Grey, who had a fling with John Basilone.
Mixed emotions. Overall I really liked it as a recap/gimmick episode but parts of it were uneven. It certainly wasn't "Once more with Feeling" but definitely didn't fail on all fronts.
All in all I liked it pretty well and really like that they are trying new things.....that's always a good thing.....reminds me of Farscape. They tried new things all the time....a lot of the time they worked, sometimes not so much, sometimes a mixed bag.
My guess is that Peter will reluctantly hook back up with Walter before the end of the season and the struggle to work through their issues will be a Season 3 issue.

I'm still not sure if I liked it either. Part of me thought it was a clever idea, but the scene with Olivia singing was AWFUL.
Now, Broyles--that man can SING, but Olivia? UGH. And she seemed unnecessarily wooden in this one.
Interesting in concept, but I was embarrassed for them. The whole thing was a WTF moment---and not in a good way.

I was surprised that it was just a story and not driven by some kind of strange phenomenon.
They were going for cliched grumpy detective but then kept switching around what they wanted that character to look like.
On part it felt like Smallville's "Noir" and then it blended "Fringe" ideas of alternate realities(modern technology and 1940's clothing)
Really??? I thought her singing scene (w/ Peter) was quite good - and her acting in it.
I thought the Astrid singing scene was much worse.
It was amusing that Walter had the 'balls' to kill off the girls mom in the story.
And there was a definite Iron Man vibe as well...
I know who Charlie is. I'm asking that who "Scar Charlie" is? I assume an alternative Charlie... but from which episode?
