I liked this episode for the most part. The ending was really interesting, I wonder who Mitchell Lobe, really was. Walter was so funny asking for gum or mints every like 5 seconds.

I didn't like that guy with Olivia though, boo! I loveddd the Peter/Olivia scene at the end though, when they went to get a drink together. Awwws!

And Walter called Astrid, Asteroid. Didn't we say he was going to call her that eventually? So funny!

I love how Walter constantly asked for gum and mints, and then Peter finally had it to give it to him.

He was so hilarious! But I am so worried about him in next episode!

He's in jail again because I bet they are thinking that he's "nuts" I hope he gets out of jail in no time!

Do I have to make it obvious that I HATE LUCAS?!

I was so mad when he kissed her! I was like please, no! no! no! But thank god Peter interrupted the moment and now she's back to her hotel! I was so scared for one moment that she would have slept with him and I would be so pissed about it. I hate him and I hope they wont bring him back again, not this time with him making it obvious that he still had feeling for her. But Peter did kill the moment is what I love the most!

I cant help it but I got a bad feeling that there's something about Lucas than meet an eye? I dont know, maybe it has to do with me disliking the guy, but I just hope there's something worst in him that would turn Olivia off, ya know. Let's hope so!

I am sorry but I find the whole brain-talking thing hilarious with Walter trying to make him tell Peter something. It was funny the way they acted about it but it was great episode, I tell ya.

BAH that's how I was. I had to turn away when they were kissing, my poor P/O heart couldn't take it

. But at least he seems to be out of the picture for now. He's n Germany, and she's in Boston. It seemed more like a past relationship rekindling old flames for a night. I can look past it as long as they don't bring him back.

Scheming Star · 11-12-2008, 12:58 AM

^Really, then thanks for the info! At least it made me feel better now. I don't have to worry about them anymore. It's just a past between them, and they obviously didn't make it so just leave it in the past, and Olivia should move on with much better guy, more of trustworthy guy like Peter. Like you said, my P/O heart couldn't take it either when they did that. *sigh*

First off, WELCOME BACK TO

EVERYONE!!

And I LOVED this episode. I don't know what was so great about it, but maybe it was that we had more of a storyline for Peter and saw some deep rooted emotion on multi levels. But I thought it was very interesting and had a great twist at the end (however, I called it about half-way through. HA!).

It'll be interesting to see where that plot twist takes us.

Did you all see Peter's emotional moment when he remembered that Walter did experiments on his brain with a car battery? *bawl*

Oh yeah. That was tug-at-your-heartstrings tough to watch. He was clenching his jaw in recollective fury. Took him right back there. And he didn't seem to know what to do about it 'cause he still had a job to do: to be the guinea pig again and read the dead guy's brain.

Great epi. Very fast-paced and thrilling.

One of my favourite quotes came from Walter: "Does he still have a head?"

Thank you very much for opening the thread, Shanna!

I've been at the University the whole day and i haven't had the time to watch the episode yet

I'm going to watch it tomorrow night and then i'll be ready to comment

I loved this episode, too. I thought Josh did a great job with that moment, I kept waiting to see if Peter would say anything further about it, but I think he knew that he wouldn't get anywhere with Walter on the subject and of course, they did need to save that guy (but of course they shouldn't have done that).

Favorite moment: After Walter injected Peter with the relaxant and Peter said "Daddy?". Aww. Just the way he said it and the look on Walter's face, I really feel their father-son relationship is the heart of the show.

Didn't trust the Lucas guy either, but I think Olivia will need his help again.

My friend at work said he saw the Observer at the airport when Olivia first met up with Lucas. I wasn't paying attention, did anyone else see him?

**killed the lights** · 11-12-2008, 04:26 PM

^ I didn't see him either =/. But I wasn't really looking LOL. He probably was there because I know a few other people saw him.

*tear* Such a great scene. Peter/Josh was so great this past episode. At first I thought he didn't care, but I rewound and watched again and realized that he was trying to push it aside to save Mitchell's life. He was such a trooper last episode<3

JoshandChristinaCursed · 11-12-2008, 04:33 PM

I agree with Josh's performance in that moment. Actually, I loved it when Walter
injected him and he went from pain to laughing

I also thought it was cool that Peter found out the answer. Finally showed him as a smart guy.

Overall, I liked the episode, it had me on edge. Did anyone curse the screen whenever they cut from Peter to Olivia and her ex? I mean no disrespect to Olivia, Anna and the actor but I wanted to know what happened with Peter.

I felt exactly the same way! Totally on edge. And I also loved that Peter's call interrupted Olivia and Lucas' "moment". Peter's got some kind of subliminal connection with Olivia!

Just a question: I am about half way through the episode and they're in Germany right now. So they speak German. Did you guys have subtitles for that? Or does anyone want me to translate those tiny parts?
Although, I will admit that their German is pretty bad

But it was in the pilot as well

**killed the lights** · 11-13-2008, 10:42 PM

No there was no subtitles. I'd love for you to translate, Lynn! That'd be awesome! By bad you mean, their grammar is bad, or their accents are bad?

Little_Stewie · 11-13-2008, 11:15 PM

I could translate it if you want, but I don't have the epi here with me. The only true native speakers were the prison guard and the chief of the prison. Olivia and her friend actually spoke horrible, horrible German, LOL.

What I found funny was 'Befragungsraum'. That's what they put on the door of the interrogation room. It's a literal translation, but I have never ever heard anyone use that word in Germany. It's an impressively long word though.

It was a solid episode, IMO. Not the best this season, but good.
