Totally disagree.  Victor is facing the horrible realization that his mom is not "coming back" and the person he has loved more than anyone else is being, more or less, forcibly kept away from him.  Have we seen 2 minutes of acknowledgement of his situation by Joel or Julia?  No, just a lame "you can't see her" and a…

The next-week-on hints that the main storyline coming out of next week is that Drew is unhappy-but-powerless with Amy's decision.  That feels like a rich and non-cliche perspective to explore.

I'm being totally serious here — after they give Noble and Torv their overdue Emmys, they should give one to Fringe for its makeup. . The Observers' mottled/freckles-in-too-much-sun skin is maybe the subtlest, somewhat-disturbing de-humanization I've seen pulled off in makeup.
