Fringe - Creepy Scorpion/Mole/Human offspring is creepy

Fringe

What I learned this week is to not sneak up on Olivia Dunham, because she might accidentally shoot you (or come damn close). Yikes! This was a good straight up Monster of the week episode. One of the best things about it? That stupid new girl didn’t say a word. She just wandered through a scene, and then we completely forgot she even existed. Let’s see if we can keep that going. There was a big X-Files feel to it (mostly “Home”, with a dash of “Post-Modern Prometheus” and “Arcadia”). We totally jumped when Oliva got dragged into that hole by the scorpion/mole/human lupus-resistant baby/man thing. We knew it was coming, but DAMN if it didn’t startle us anyway. Plus that thing was hella creepy looking. On a side note, how freaking hardcore is Olivia? Girl almost died last week, but she's right back out there kicking butt. Love her super hearing. Thanks Leonard Nimoy . . . William Bell? And what’s up with fake Charlie? Guy’s looking kind of rough. Notice how he was holding his stomach and limping when he went into the room? Either he’s injured, his body isn’t taking well to such a prolonged shift, OR he’s not doing well in our universe. Peter seems to have sustained just fine on this side, so we’ll assume it’s one of the first two options.


Here’s your observer sighting for the week. This was outside the Hughes’ house right around when Agent Jessup finds the bible. These are getting harder and harder to see, and much less obvious. A bi-product of them shooting in Canada and not having daily access to Michael Ceveris anymore, methinks.





While we’re at it, here are the Glyphs from the season so far:



From “A New Day in Town”, referencing World Trade Tower where we saw Oliva meet William Bell in last season’s finale.




From this weekend episode, “Night of Desirable Objects” referencing the mirror that shape-shifter Charlie uses to communicate with the other side.
