The Yankees just won so Fringe will be on tomorrow.

YAY I've been excited for this episode ever since we heard there was gonna be a Broyles centric one. Can't wait!

Thanks for starting the thread.

I'm really excited that we're getting a new episode.

I have missed this show so much.

It returns with a Broyels centric episode the day after I finish The Wire Season 4 which is going to be great. There was not enough Daniels in S4 and Lance Riddik is so good. I would love to see more of him here.

This episode was pretty good, i think I was expecting it to be more Broyles centric though, as in find out more about his past. I though this case was going to have more connection or meaning to him or something, I don't know. But I did enjoy it. I loved the scenes with the "Lab Rats" aka Astrid, Peter, and Walter. When Walter was trying to figure out the equation to the opera music, LOL. I liked the Liv/Broyles scenes too. He wasn't really her boss today, he was more of a friend and I really enjoyed that. I like how he told Olivia about his past too. I also thought the Walter/Peter scene in their house when they were building the 3D model of the formula. Walter seemed really proud that Peter did it, even though i had no doubt in him.

One of my favorite quotes of the night: "Titanium tetrachloride you sly temptress." BAHAHAH ohhhh Walter.

Next weeks episode looks mega good! Mind control! And it looks like whoever is behind it has Peter too, AHHH! Cannot wait!

Today episode was somewhat not so bad. Some of them really confuse me but other than that, it was okay. Not much active but not so bad either.

I was shocked when we got the outside of Broyles' life other than his job. He has kids?! Wow. I so didn't seen it coming considering whole season one and two he was busy doing his job, dangerous job to take over without a mention about his kids. I mean he would have said that if something happens to him, he would want his kids to be alright and all that, but that was random tonight when they said that, lol. But hey, I can't help it but hope they will show who his kids are and all that.

Walter must be beyond genius to spend all day writing up on the board, lol. And it was great to see Peter talk about science stuff to Astrid because half of them, I was like huh? What do you say again?

Like father, like son. Hee!

It was great to see Broyles talk about his life to Olivia as if she was his friend because apparently they are more than just boss and worker, they are good friends who worked a lot throughout their years together. I was glad to see that happening.

I am glad that in the end everything worked out and that the case is finally closed so Broyles can finally move on with his life and not have to deal with long term case at all. So awesome!

And the promo?! Wow that was intense!

I can't wait to see it next week! And to see the car flipped out and caught in the fire? Oooh, I am intrigued about that one! LOL!

I enjoyed it a lot (maybe more because we've been missing it for 2 weeks

), but still a 'good' Fringe ep is better than most other shows

Loved Broyles' direct approach to solving the problem

killed the lights · 11-06-2009, 08:11 AM

Yeah I loved how Broyles was like "Eff the CIA, this is my case!" LMAO.

**Violent Delights** · 11-06-2009, 01:16 PM

he knew that he wouldn't listen, too

and if in doubt, just shoot them in the head

galesgirl645 · 11-07-2009, 10:37 PM

loved the episode. I liked that we got to know more about Broyles

You should enjoy it, I have seen this a few times.

This is the one with the Tinker Toys from the Fan Art Thread.

kbcountry37 · 03-01-2014, 11:01 AM

Oh, now I remember it! Sad that one scene can make me remember a whole episode.

I think the science in this one is so almost plausible --- quite the premise of Fringe. And with the humanitarian aspect thrown in of the brother who can't abandon his brother.
