I liked this episode, it wasn't one of my favs sci-fi wise, but I still liked it. This case wasn't connected to The Pattern, right? It was just some random dude.
Anyway, the Peter/Olivia stuff was GAH great. That last scene? *is dead* I liked how Walter talked to Carla's mother. I'm glad he got closure on it too. I understand where Peter was coming from though, at first I didn't know how Walter would react, but he was perfectly fine. Walter is the shizzle. I have a feeling this Harris guy isn't going away. I think this storyline of him investigating Olivia is going to become the main focus soon. I'm glad Broyles got her back though. He has serous connections and can totally protect Olivia if need be. The promo for next week looks really interesting. I wonder those people are that want to shoot Peter and Olivia? I have a feeling it might have to do with Peter and the people who are after him, but I have no idea. __________________

Yeah I don't think this case had really all that much to do with the Pattern given the villain of the episode and the villain's motive. He may had learned his skills from somewhere Pattern-related but we'll never know.
I love the addition of the Carla-Walter storyline in the mix. I didn't think they would approach it the way they did but it really keeps the mytharc of the series going in some form at least. |

I enjoyed tonight's episode but it wasn't the best. The Sci-Fi story had to do with it. But, I loved seeing a True Blood actor on the show. And ofcourse, Grams!!! I love that Josh had a scene with her, too.
So, week 2 and the sister has not come out as "evil" persay. But, she does fancy Peter. But, I guess this was bound to happen eventually. How much can we hate on that?! I mean, we know Peter/Olivia aren't getting together for a long while, so all we can do is enjoy the subtle moments, like tonight's end scene. Love that he was drunk! |

I definitely enjoyed tonight's episode! The P/O and P/W were absolutely adorable, and I liked that this wasn't that heavy of an episode. I mean, I love when they try to figure out the impossible, but it was nice to have a lighter mystery. An see more of Olivia's family! And I'm definitely not digging this Harris dude. He needs to back off. The promo for next week looks crazy though! I'm interested to see what/who they're after and why they want to kill PO. Hmm. __________________

I dunno.....I wasn't too impressed by this epi. The main plot was so-so, not too exciting. There were some nice shipper moments, but after all it felt more like a filler episode. Which isn't entirely bad since we all know that there have to be a few fillers every now and then, for every show, in every season.

She's interfearing with O/P but maybe it will bring out some jealousy from Olivia if that happens. I really loved the episode, best bits were the shippy moments between O/P YAYz. __________________

Here's my theory on where I think they're going with the love triangle business...
I don't think there will REALLY be one per say. They're still going to do the slow burn with Peter/Olivia. So it's quite possible that Peter/Rachel will hook up but I don't think will get much of a jealous response out of Olivia as much as we'll get a "okay, weird" response. (Meanwhile Walter is going to want to hit his son in the head with something cause he picked the sister over Olivia ) I think that Peter/Rachel will be brief though and then afterwards they break up because of something serious going on with the mytharc that conflicts things...give it some time later and P/O goodness abound! |

And the Olivia/Walter interactions were amusing. Like in the beginning, when he gave her the little speech about safe sex. Great __________________

This wasn't my favorite episode, however, it did allow for more Peter screen time and the return of Joshua Jackson and Mary Beth Peil (Grams on Dawson's Creek)!
I felt that the 'googling eyes' of Rachel and Peter was a little heavy handed and I wasn't really feeling it. Not to mention that I thought the episode had some lackluster scenes, but maybe they are more filler to a bigger purpose? We haven't seen anything related to Massive Dynamics or John Scott recently. __________________
