Robin is way to good for Ted.

I know Ted is the central character, but I still haven't figured out why he has to be a douche instead of being funny. That being said, I love the dynamic of the show. All the actors play off of each other perfectly. If Ted being a douche is somehow integral to this hilarity, I will accept it gladly.

I would certainly do a lot of terrible things for the money he'll be offered…awful, shameful things.

I can't think of another show that weaves master plot and stand-alone together so well. Even though the two previous eps contributed nothing to the master plot, I still enjoyed the crap out of them.

Don't forget his "I forgot Astrid's name again" fakeout.

Yeah, I want to see Oliva go nuclear. I know for a fact that the Fringe team can pull off an exploding person better than fucking Heroes. Goddammit that show pisses me off. It's too bad NBC is such a shitty network, if they weren't they might be able to cancel Heroes, as it stands it's one of their most watched shows.

I think that "Olive" (from the video and from the emoing guy) was Olivia. I think it very well may end up being significant that her nickname used to be Olive and is now Liv.

@Some Other Dude

I was under the impression it had been picked up for a second season a while ago…

Improve this episode by 1000%
When the weather gets all crazy in this episode, mute your TV or computer and play a really rocking song involving electric guitar solos in the background. It makes it so much better. Seriously.

here, here

I'm not saying every episode advance the "master plot" but every episode should advance some sort of plot. Even if its just a reveal at the end (like finding out the mystery kid was a mini observer), I am happier for it

That's what I figured as well — I wonder if what Mr. Jones turned into is anything like the creature from The Transformation

Even if an episode is a standard Freak of the Week romp, it should have some sort of impact on the series. Not every episode has to be a game changer, but it should contain some moment that they can cut to in one of the intro "Previously..on Fringe" segments.

Rupert Murdoch says:

House's hallucinations/imaginary scenarios are generally easy on the eyes (Carmen Electra in season 1, "Three Stories")

Agreed

Shirley Manson's acting improved 100 fold from her first appearance. At first I hated any scene with her, but Weaver/John Henry quickly became of the greatest parts of this show.
