Something I thought while watching it. So Bell is very protective of all of his stuff but Walter can easily go into his office and take stuff out no questions asked. Maybe not such a big deal but it caught my eye.

I mean, he's sort of dead, brah. And Walter owns Massive Dynamic. So yeah, I imagine he can go wherever he wants within MD.

The monster of the week wasn't that exciting it was pretty boring. They defy gravity, so this guy can fix his son, really? Who cares, it seems like this is a way that the show wanted to have some filler for Walter to activate bell's soul magnets.

One thing I think about this rewatch is that I am spoiled by my first go through. I remember the overall arching plotlines throughout the show, but forgot some of the details. So when I'm watching now, I find myself just labeling something as "filler" if it doesn't advance things to where I feel like they should be in my mind. And that's not really fair to the show I don't think, because I really love the show, and think all of these episodes are good. But because they don't fit into some narrative I have formulated in my head, they are "filler."

I may try to start watching and try to get more into the episodes themselves instead of trying to compare it to what I remember from the first time.

I know you guys brought up the problem of putting the microchips in the tea way back than. I think it is something that is absorbed into the blood, just like alcohol, yes that wears off but maybe these chips never go away just like cortexphan never goes away once you take it. (I don't think)

That is how I took it as well, but Myth says they were literal magnets in her tea.
