Fringe: "Grey Matters" 12/10/09 - Grading & Discussion

[Meredith]

I felt sorry for the bits of walter that died tonight.....

 

[Taran'atar]

I had a crazy thought when Newton climbed out of the shadow in the van: What if he is the other side's William Bell? Whose head was frozen some decades ago. His silhouette and hair looks quite like Leonard Nimoy's. And it would make sense, that the only man (our) Bell is afraid of, is himself.

I guess this is the last ep until either January or February, from the looks of it.

Next ep. appears to be Jan 14.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

I thought it was an excellent episode. Great sci-fi stuff and the scenes between father and son were terrific. I love how this relationship is growing and deepening.

 

[Icemizer]

I thought this was a very good episode. A show about characters how unique.
As for Walter from the other side my thought is he died in the lake and only Peter was saved on the other side. While on our Earth Peter died but Walter was saved. It would be just like those bald headed observers to try to balance that out. The question is, where is the other universes Olivia???

The question is, where is the other universes Olivia???

Sounds like something they'd save for the season finale.

Killed by that nasty stepfather who, on this Earth, sends birthday cards?

Sorry, totally dropped plotline there.

 

[Aragorn]

I wonder if alternate universe Charlie or John Scott is in store for the season finale.

 

[Dionysis]

I also liked when Peter was explaining what they wanted to do with Walter and where they took him. He was 'rambling' in the same way as Walter does only slight less crazy
I like those kind of details.

 

[Capn Flukie]

Excellent episode!

I liked the things other posters mentioned, plus this week it was Astrid who f'd up on Walter, a reversal of last week.

I loved all the lens flare at the end too.

Bell: (to Walter) "Remember..."

 

[1001001]

Okay, I'm totally confuzzled.



They're trying to get Walter's secret to make a door to the other side, right? But aren't they from the other side? Aren't they already able to cross over?

And didn't what's his name already open a door to the other side before getting sliced in half in that field?

And how did Bell get over to the other side in the present? Why not just grab him (on the other side) and find out his secret, rather than go through all the trouble of assembling a guy's frozen head and doing brain surgery on crazy people....???

Aren't there doors open both ways already?

Obviously I've missed something or misunderstood something.

Anyway, I enjoyed the episode, and am loving the series. Can't wait until January.

I loved that Olivia dropped both guys with perfect headshots: one as he thought he was going to get away and the other as he thought he was going to go all dual pistols on her ass.

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

 

[propita]

Didn't one bleed red and the bleed silver (or at least not red)? Was I seeing things? Or, if I'm right, was that why the focus on the head shots--to show the difference?

 

[Roshi]

No, you're remembering correctly.

 

[Cartoonist]

Finally caught it on DVR last night. Fringe has slowly become my favorite show, so I'm astounded it hasn't been canceled.

I can't say I noticed that. What does it mean?

 

[Aragorn]

Shapeshifters bleed silver and red. The first guy shot clearly showed silver, but the camera didn't dwell very long on the second guy who was shot -- who was defined as a shapeshifter the last time he was on.
