They killed Charlie and replaced him with a shape-shifter.

What does that have to do with flares and skulls holding flares?

Am I the only person that absolutely hates fringe? I mean, I like a lot of bad/predicable/silly shows, but I got throguh about 3/4 of the last saeson, and I said to myself "Why the fuck am I still watching this shit!?"
I really jsut do not get the love for the show. I guess I had too high of hopes for it.

yeah, maybe I will give the rest of the season a try on a rainy saturday or something.
Episode 2 is online.
"Finally some good news.! I hope we can dig them up. I haven't had any bodies to examine. Seven missing persons... no bodies"

If cross dimensional travel screws with a person as much as it does Olivia, then it explains a lot about Walter. This episode's freaky crap with the tunneling super human reminds me of that X-Files episode with the hillbilly freaks and "Tremors" rolled into one. Just no Burt Gummer... which is a shame as even Walter is no substitute. It wasn't one of the more memorable episodes, but I'm happy to see Peter and Walter bonding.

He actually was fired from the show, Charlie that is. The only reason he is still around is because they had the season planned out, and quickly did his shots.
He was a good supporting character, and I liked him, but something was off about him.
But, this show, I love.

Olivia. In the Lab. With the Revolver.: The Fringe team investigates a possible murderer who is transferring his cancer to other people via touch.
A salright episode. But nothing like the last one. This one felt more like a build up for something bigger coming.
Minor gripes. I think this was the first episode in a while that I wasn't too thrilled about. Looking forward to next week though.

Sometimes these episodes with Cortexifan subjects feel like excuses to have the Fringe universes version of Super Heroes or Mutants. The only one of them that I've liked was the episode with the pyro-kinetic sisters, but only because it strongly pushed the story along when Agent Harris turned out to be dirty (which was quite a thrill to watch him burn). I don't see why they need to all have different powers. The thought that one drug can have multiple different effects on different people seems to take away the fun of the series which is full of fast-aging super babies, radiation stealing alien shadows, and a chemical that will change you into a rampaging monster. If the solution to every mystery starts becoming "He was a Cortexifan subject" then the series is going to become much less entertaining for me.
I've also noticed that the cliffhanger endings have become less powerful. Specially compared to the first season. When they end the episode on " I have to tell Peter that he's from an alternate universe" it's a bit too Soap Opera and less thrilling.

Ah, yeah, they have to be careful about making things to easy (I worked on that! I knew that person, etc, etc) for the fringe crew, but I really think this was an episode of escalation leading to the end of the season. Craps starting to hit the fan. Or rather, Walter and Bell's chickens are coming home to roost.

I dont know, I thought it was rather silly that the guy would go to all this trouble and then waste it like that.
Other then that this was a very good episode.

How did he waste it? He decided that Walter was right, and that he didn't want to be burdened with the responsibility of changing time, so he chose instead to die with the one he loved and have one more chance to tell her that he loved her. Maybe it's because I'm a girl, but I think it's very sweet.

I don't buy Walters speech about consequences and God punishing you for over stepping your place by using science. There wouldn't be any reason for Peter Wellers character to feel bad about what he did, in the end his method would have resulted in no one dying and he would be able to have a live with his love. Maybe its just the guy in me but I'd rather have my time travelling girl friend pull me out of the car rather then just tell me that she loved me 
Plus I kind of felt that it was out of character for him to do this, he clearly didn't believe in a higher force.

Just think of say... "The Butterfly Effect", where everytime Ashton Kutcher tried to make something better he only made it worse because of the unforseeable repercussions. Walter fucked up the balance between the two worlds pulling Peter across, and then fucked up a whole bunch of other kids to try to fix it, not to mention everything else.

My biggest complaint about this episode, is that I definitely kept my eyes closed during the part before the last jump. Ewwww implantation.
