last night's Fringe

I haven't watched it yet, but I saw the commercial for it and was wondering what the hell was going on. Guess I'll have more of an opinion after I watch it but it looked like it would be pretty bad.

I have no idea why they would do that either. I don't think the people that watch Fringe are going to be attracted by Glee type elements.

Even though it was just a story Walter was telling the musical moments were cringe-worthy.

He was high, I thought it worked.

I think it was a fun episode, surely a nice break as the show is hitting a very serious stride.

1) You do realize it was a microcosm of the entire Fringe story? I'm sure there are some interesting things to be found.

2) I think the girl's ending of Peter splitting his heart is somewhat important, although I can't figure out how so.

3) Does anyone remember the Watcher's warning to Walter?

Even for a marijuana induced fantasy I just couldn't really get into it, and I generally like Fringe's more stand alone episodes. And the musical moments were a distraction and seemed way out of place.

Definitely, Walter stealing kids dreams and replacing them with nightmares was a nice allusion to the cortexaphan trials.

Possibly symbolic of Peter being split between the 2 universes when Walter stole him from the alternate universe? Or maybe having to do with Walter's Peter having died in the past and this Peter being a replacement?

I've tried to find it online but no luck. I seem to remember The Observer warning Walter of something after he saved Walter and Peter when they fell through the ice in "Peter", but I can't recall exactly what was said.

It was like a holodeck episode on Star Trek, although I think y'all are right in that this one was full of easter eggs and fore shadowing. In addition to what y'all have already thrown out there, I wonder if it's significant that Rachel died, because at first she looked like a potential love interest for Peter while Olivia didn't but that all seems to have changed.
