Review..

Peter.

I dig the new digital opening for this episode. Like the whole 8-bit feel to it.

I forgot how sad, depressing, and great this episode is.

Most important episode in the series so far IMO.

So fricked how Walter just cold heartedly steals Peter...cold blooded. I know he (allegedly) plans on sending him back home, but damn...just rolls in there as "his dad" and kidnaps him. And Peter knew it too.

Awesome episode.

Olivia. In the lab. With the Revolver.

Another standalone episode, but I like that even the standalones aren't really as much "filler" anymore, as they tie into shite. Like this one ties into Olivia and the cortexiphan and all that.

Nina said she knows how easy it is to feel for people you work with...is that a hint alluding to she and Broyles? For some reason, I thought them together was in the altverse..?

Walter decides to tell Peter. Nice. That's the right thing to do IMO.

Someone spreading cancer by touching people is pretty terrifying. Although I still don't get why the dude was doing it. He even said when Liv caught him that he never meant to hurt people, and she asked him why he was doing it then...and I don't think he really said why, or gave any sort of good reason. Any ideas?

White Tulip.

I love how Walter suggests collective heart failure for all the people on the train, and people (especially Peter) doubt him. What the frick? First of all, he's almost always right with his "theories." But more than that, you JUST solved a case where a man could spread cancer by touch, and you still doubt the validity of Walter and think his theories are "impossible"?

This episode is confusing as frick for me..

I'm curious as to why the electronic pulse doesn't happen when Peck jumps back in time. He kills the people when he lands in the past because of the electronic pulse, and clearly he generates a lot of electromagnetism when he jumps back, so why wasn't anyone in his house that first time harmed? Or were they, but things reset when he jumped back?

Which brings me to my next point...why does it "reset"? He said himself that when he jumps back things reset and people he harmed are only injured until that time passes again and he isn't there (or some shite like that), but why (how?) does that affect time itself...shouldn't he just vanish from the "present" and that be it?

So Walter believes in God? Also, I assume he doesn't remember telling Peck about the white tulip, but that was a cool way to end the episode, and we know that the white tulip comes back and is pretty important later in the series.

Great episode. And looks like this week really gets us into the altverse...which means we get some Fauxlivia.
