And as I mentioned, the NSA and CIA weren't cooperating prior to the intersect (in this show's reality). So if the CIA did it then the general wouldn't necessarily have had information about it.

Plot problems
I don't think they were all that bad.

First off
I thought it was much better than a C+

That was a nice little mini review.

And I would say the promising elements for an overarching theme everyone seems to want weren't that numerous. It wasn't like he can have a huge battle with Boyd in the hospital and have it every week. And it's not like they can reveal everything about Arlo. And it's not like they can drag the Florida thing out that…

If two supercomputers that know everything in the world including martial arts can be uploaded into a dude's head and only work if he's feeling unburdened, the CIA can off a snitch.

She likes me for me
That song always confused me. He claims she likes him for him, but then lists about a million thing he is not. Just what in the hell does this woman like? He's unfunny, poor, unattractive, not charming, etc. etc. He pretty much lacks all of the qualities most people look for in a partner. I…

Why?

Yeah, that's probably it.

Ending
I was really enjoying this episode but it felt like it ended very abruptly. Maybe I'm alone in that but it felt a little off.

I truly thought she was actually calling Cam Mama, so I was actually a little surprised.

Management
I enjoyed the episode, but it wasn't one of the best.

The Simpsons
I thought this episode was for sure a B+.

Childhood and Science
I like how the childhoods of both Peter and Olivia inform who they became. He wanders because he truly lost his home and she is an excellent agent because she learned to be fearless. That's a pretty rudimentary analysis, but it's a pretty generalizable and solid theme for a sci-fi show like…

I enjoy it
I was wondering if there would be more on this show. I've been watching it all season. I keep expecting to eventually not care and quit, but it hasn't happened. I think it helps that I had such low expectations.

Audio
Something went haywire with my cable and I didn't get sound for the first fifteen minutes of the show. Did I miss anything I couldn't figure out simply by watching with no sound (or from the review)?

Placement
Was there no episodes of Lie to Me to air? I think it was a bad idea to air this episode at all. I was juiced for the return of Fringe after a break and then I had to sit through this. It drove away all of the excitement I had.

Don's Letter
I realize I am late in submitting this comment since I am just now plowing through the DVDs, but did anyone else think Don's letter was worth a mention? Was it sincere or just a ploy to get back in the house? I tended to think it was actually sincere and reminded me of how he felt at the end of the…

Hair project
Veronica intended for her dad to steal it. She liked their relationship better when it was like that and knew the project would be a failure. I think that was more her doing than his.

I thought everything from last week rang true because of the situation, which was by no means unbelievable.
