correct, more of a set up episode instead of dragging it out. This still has the potential to be a very good show. Lots of possibilites and angles.

Liked, but didn't love, the episode. Still a good one. Since they've cut a few of my other shows this year, I've been really looking forward to Fringe.

Same thought here as well. Not one of the funnier episodes but the show was ok. Definately the best season premiere I thought was season 2. Gay Witch Hunt I think was the title of that episode

Isn't this year season 2? Maybe I'm forgetting a season in there, but I thought last year was the first year of the show.

I thought it was solid. It didn't resolve last year's finale, but it did work as a launching pad for this season.

And Walter's autopsy hands absentmindedly wandering closer and closer to the custard mixing bowl in Astrid's horrified arms was a nicely played bit. Oh, and what think you all was 'can't find my way home' alluding to?

I'm scared this is going to go the way of Alias and spiral down under the weight of its own mythology. JJ creates awesome characters and universes, but seems to struggle to resolve anything.

I can't believe no one's mentioned Mulder & Scully on the TV in the first victim's apartment.
Also, I think they're setting up Walter to tell Peter that he's from the "other side". I think that'll be revealed to Peter at some point this season. |

Walter absolutely makes this show. When he tried to dip his bloody finger in the pudding only to have it slapped away, I had to laugh my ass off. They did manage to make that scene rather uncomfortable and funny at the same time.
And yes I thought that was a cool nod to the X Files. The show has a lot of X Files feel to it, which is probably why I'm such a big fan.

We have already seen his tombstone on this side of reality.

Peter hasn't seen it, he has no idea he's from another universe. I think that's what he's getting at.
Also, there was also another "tribute" to the "X files" at the congressional hearings with Broyle's. Senator says something like, "The old 'x' designation, and your Fringe investigations have been indulgences in the federal budget for nearly half a century". |

I definitely caught that. Just forgot about by the end of the episode.
