Does anyone think that Nazir knows that the CIA has the video and that they were planning to get rid of Brody and the tailor in one fell swoop?

Obama's in the opening credits, which would be weird if he weren't the president. Also, he's done his fair share of drone warfare so that part at least makes sense.

Am I crazy or did Ron and the gang in the truck get pulled over in front of Paddy's Pub?

Glad I'm not the only one that got a serious Alias vibe
Can't believe I didn't notice it earlier, what with the mysterious device assembled from pieces strewn about the world that may or may not destroy us all, even Peter in the drawing didn't click it for me. It took the Page 47esque drawing of Olivia for me to even

Music
Was it just me or was the music extra LOSTy tonight? I know Giacchino does the score, but usually Fringe doesn't sound quite as much like Lost. The music when Fauxlivia was delivering her baby was like all the music during the sad poignant slo-mo shots that always made me cry on Lost and it almost got me

Lincoln Lee
Am I wrong in thinking that Bell might be able to recognize Lincoln Lee? I mean Fringe division on Earth 2 are less covert and more celebrity-ish over there and it would make sense that William Bell would want and be able to figure out the identities of Earth 2's Fringe team. I mean I guess, but it seems

Location Footage
The Gap Attack part was definitely filmed at the Grove here in LA. They just changed the signage to make it look like it was in Lima

Kings Speech
For all the complaining about the arbitrariness of the MPAA, under their rules (which I think are stupid and backwards) The King's Speech definitely deserved an R. I mean yes, its pretty mild, but contextually that whole scene is basically Colin Firth swearing just to swear. It might be therapeutic, but

"Most of what is said in the blog post in the movie was made up. by Sorkin. As was the character of the girl. But, by all means, continue carrying on like 'Social Network' is based on facts."

Piranha 3D
YES!!!!! It could be a marketing ploy, but I am pleased that it maintained its deliciously over-the-top gory tone from the script. I mean I still think it was terrible, but OMG there is some amazing shit in there. IN 3-D!

Showgirls
I think Tyce wanted to remind us of his seminal role as a dancer in Showgirls with his Robert and Lauren number set to the song that plays when Elizabeth Berkley gives Kyle Maclachlan a lap dance.

Why do the writers want us to hate Tara so much?
Ok, is it just me or did the whole Franklin scene with Tara seem really dumb. I know its classic vampire rules, but what's the point of having the whole vampires can't come in uninvited thing if they can just glamor their way in if met with a refusal? ALSO, why do the

BUBBLES!!!
Regardless of how I felt about this episode, can I just say I was so happy that Bubbles had all the coke he wants!

Nice Gallows Humor
Nice bit of gallows humor when Jesse lays it on thick in the opening to get a kiss from Jane and she responds "I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit."

Locked Inside
"Locked Inside" sounds like what would happen if someone put Lush, Off The Wall-era Michael Jackson, and the Spice Girls in a blender with Beyonce on vocals and then remixed that to be on the soundtrack for a Nintendo game. IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!

"Harvard" Establishing Shots?
OK fully ready to be flamed for being an asshole bragging about how he went to Yale, BUT the "Harvard" establishing shots in this episode were particularly flagrant this week. As a devoted Fringe watcher I have grown used to seeing exterior shots of Yale buildings referred to as Harvard

Lacrosse Stick
My roommate ponted out to me that Archer's lacrosse stick is actually a woman's lacrosse stick. Nice touch

SUCK IT NBC
I am surprised no one has commented that Conan's LA shows will be performed on Universal Studios less that a block away from his former Tonight Show studio. Should be funny.
