"Kirk out!" With one line, Fringe establishes in the first fourth of the show what type of episode this is going to be. It'll be a little geeky and a crowd pleaser.
Sure enough.
In lieu of a longer case for why I liked this episode a heck of a lot, here's a bullet list:
- Astrid being startled by her alternate.
- Peter taking over the crime scene and stealing Walter's thunder.
- Walter peeving at Fauxlivia only to have her say, "I really got to you didn't I?"
- In fact, pretty much all the Walter/Fauxlivia interaction including the red vine trade for mints.
- Walter getting autistic Astrid's name right.
- Autistic Astrid.
- More than one Astrid! I can't get enough.
- The talk between the two Astrid's on Walter being a father figure to Our Astrid.
- Autistic Astrid talking about her relationship with her father.
- Seeing Our Astrid's father with a apron on that says "Shitake Happens". Priceless. The hug was just icing on the cake.
- Autistic Astrid rationally talking to Walter about why he should love Peter. So heart warming.
The whole episode is basically fan service without the naughty bits. Thanks Fringe team. I appreciate an episode to love for no other reason than it gives us all those little asides and such that for most episodes tend to be periphary. Here, they're all front and center. This is the first episode of Fringe I'm seriously considering rewatching.
