No, I'm not. I don't want that in my programming.
I don't really mind if it's in my programming, but I want it to serve a purpose. This was pretty thinly-veiled pandering and I thought it was the only thing that sucked about the episode.
Excellent. Best episode of the series yet. There were several "holy shit!" moments throughout the episode that kept me on the edge of my seat:
- The reveal of Nick Lane's "paranoid delusions" that he was a warrior of the coming war between parallel universes flowing into Astral reading from the ZFT manifesto.
- The realization that Nick and Olivia were paired together in the Cortexephan experiments as children.
- Walter's nonchalantly dropped hint that the warriors can possibly travel between parallel universes simply by thinking about them, which is surely going to pop up again with Olivia.
- The deaths and the people suddenly starting to follow Nick down the street, then showing them all standing on the ledge of the building was chilling, in the way 'The Happening' was freaky before you realized it was a bad Arbor Day horror story. Then to have one person jump, only to be followed by a typical deadpan Walter response.
- The ending with Nimoy's Bell and Walter trying to comfort young Olive was freaky.
This show is now probably my most anticipated show each week. They've really got the atmosphere of it down great, and I love the mix of creepiness and humor.

Above Average for me.... Solid stuff, but not the best of the show. Mostly because the last half of the episode was a bit predictable. I could see the pairing of Olivia and the guy a mile away - although I expected him at first to be a long lost brother/twin.
Maybe you should stick to not watching movies or TV if there's a chance that there is content that might be outside of your comfort zone. Some people enjoy widening their horizons... others don't. Commercial entertainment always pushes boundaries.
Holy crap, I'm loving this show. Lost had better watch out, this is creeping up as a new favourite of mine!
And it was directed and written by Akiva Goldsman. For better or worse, YOU decide.
Yeah, THAT shocked me more than any of the show's plots! I've hated a LOT of his work.

I enjoy widening my pants.
Most commercial entertainment does exactly the opposite. It's usually formulaic and cliche.
I found this to be yet another uninteresting episode, saved only by that final scene, mainly for Spock's voice and learning Bishop experimented on Lil'Olive. Of course we already know she was tampered with as a child so it wasn't a huge leap but oh well. Was there an Observer cameo in this one?
Ah so Olivia is the one who caused the fire that killed Walter's lab assistant and then sent him into the mental aslyum.
I wonder with Walter how much he really remembers and how much is just the crazy, but the last 4 or 5 episodes have shown him to really be more of the former and less of the latter.

I didn't mind at all.
I respect your opinion.
Wouldn't they have a difficult time explaining why they let the lady go? And her life will never be the same, especially with the friends and family members of the husband.
I guess this is why shows like these never go into details about the aftermath of guest stars, only the regulars.
