I liked this episode, but i seriously hope that even with our peter back with his emotions he will be able to preserve observers's abilities because i found it really cool and could be really useful to end walter's plan. The point is peter removed the tech from his head too easly for my tastes and, since josh said that peter will go throught other different transformations until the end of the season, i think there's more to come next episodes.

Speaking of Josh's new avatar, why did he choose a red background? I have strange feelings about that...

Bringing forward for the re-watch. The gifs on one of the entries is giving me a headache.

Ugh. Yea. Those are really hard to look at.

EDIT - Just started this one at :48

Pressed play - just on the re-cap.

This is a little creepy (The Observers just arrived at Peter's - wherever he's doing this.)

EDIT - Now THAT is a Peter picture I need to get - that look in his eyes as he's looking up at the window

Peter is in Etta's apartment.

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure.

Walter's conversation with Peter -

At least we know that Peter still cares - he warned them not to go to Etta's apartment.

The next thing you know, Peter's going to start eating jalepeno peppers.

I think that Astrid thought that Walter wanted to put the tech in her brain for a moment, until he mentioned porcupine man.

Edit: Peter better mind he doesn't get drunk on water.

I think he actually did want to put it in Astrid's brain - until she said something.

EDIT - this is such a curiously contradictory society. The humans are mostly living on the edge - with very little in the way of technology or even creature comforts - yet the junk yard has a holograph.

Poor Astrid, she has so much to put up with and she isn't even family, even though they are the only family she has left.

Computer playing up - or maybe

Sorry - I got caught up doing a hangman.

Another very poignant Walter/Peter conversation. I really hope we get the real Peter back (don't tell me!)

He still looks so hot. I won't give anything away.

That woman's suit looks like she made it out of old curtains - I wonder if Maria from the sound of music made it for her?

You go, Olivia! Nobody keeps her for very long!
