I understand #20's [intense] frustration, but I keep it in check by trying to stay focused on how The Pattern is revealed. This is the same problem with those that despise "LOST" as it heads into season 5 of 7, too much build up of mystery, too many unanswered questions, too many unlikely situations - and that latter part is even worse with "Fringe". Heaven help us all if they intend on milking "The Pattern" for a seven season run like "LOST".

If they do that, then I'll do the same as I did with "LOST", wait till it's nearly done, watch the first x seasons on DVD, one each day till the start of the final one or two seasons, and that's if "Fringe" is fortunate enough to get a committed run of seasons and doesn't get short-sheeted in between.

WHY IS THIS SHOW STILL ON TELEVISION WHEN OTHERS INFINITELY BETTER ARE GETTING CANCELLED RIGHT AND LEFT? Better yet, WHY IS THIS SHOW STILL ON THE AIR? This show sucks! I just watched an recorded episode from a couple weeks ago, the one with the "Red Castle" and Anna Torv gets the phone call just as she's standing in front of the red building. This is mind numbing stuff people. I WANT to like this show, but it is so bad week after week, I'm actively rooting against it now. But I am pissed of a network thinks this is worth a full season and others get cancelled.

Don't even get me started counting the ways each show rips off the X-files. I mean, there should be a copyright infringement case started each week, if not for the fact that they steal an X-Files idea and then attempt to distinguish it by turning it into a steaming lump of crap!

What struck me about Walter's food/drink Obsession of the Week: Nobody actually likes coffee yogurt.
This adds to the brilliant wackiness of his character.

When they were running through traffic - was that JJ Abrams in the car they passed?

Could it be that the Observer was watching Peter beat up that guy? It seems by the camera angle on some shots as if someone was watching from across the street.

While we can accept John's memories imprinting on Olivia, someone real sent those emails.

Is there a mole in the lab (the only people who know about the restaurant)?

Oh.... I have an erection!

Am I the only one who called 1-877-8-MSSDY?

no, no, I don't think the visions are self-induced at all on Olivia's part. Remember that in the first episode where John "died" in the crash subsequent to the car chase, Nina told a Massive Dynamic's employee who confirmed how long John had been "dead" to, and I quote, "Question him." Therefore, John must have been ressurected as part of "the program", so, I don't think Olivia's having visions of John's memories. I believe he's projecting images and walking around because I distinctly remember him leading her to another one of the many basement storage areas full of important data in the third or fourth episode. Then he disappeared.

We know Peter previously made his living as, essentially, a con artist--in some very dangerous parts of the world where there are some really nasty people. And as the proverb says, mean people suck. It looks like something from his past is catching up with him--which may be connected to the overall plot or may just introduce some problem he will need help solving and complicate everyone else's life at an inopportune time. Or, Massive Dynamic, et al., is digging up people who have a grudge just to screw with him.
