This one goes out to the nerds...



Sooo much happened in this week's Fringe and it is definitely a better watch than it will be read, but here:

Now half the FBI is on the case to figure out what connection Alexander Graham Bell has to ZFT, which does not make Agent Harris happy. Harris is a meanie mean face who I think sexyly harrissed (ha) Olivia once and now is out to get her because he got detention for it. And because he is a part of ZFT and is trying to "activate" all the Cortexophan kids to see if they can take the heat (HA). See, that one is punny because those who cannot [use pyrokinesis to set others on fire], end up self-combusting.

One lady set herself on fire and died, and Olivia's double vision - a helpful side-effect to "the tests" and apparently related to Ezra's (read: Daniel Faraday's) time-space continuum theory from Lost - told her the lady was a long-lost twin. After her major fail, her twin was kidnapped by a Dr. Winters for activation by an Agent Harris. Harris locks Olivia and the twinny in a room so they will both esplode too when this twin combusts, but Olivia encourages her to control her powers and pyrotechnic Harris instead.

Awww, Joshyyy!! I'm kvelling! Joshy got lots of lines this eppy. Most were wasted on him pretending to be a Trekkie for the sake of JJ's "it's not product placement, I just like it" scheme. Aw but Clint Howard played the crazy that thought he was Spock, but also accurately described William Bell's child testing and war preparing. Awww, and Joshy invented this kewl electron microscope turntable for his paps, which he used to do stuff to learn stuff we already talked about.

Abaddon confronts Nina Sharp, seemingly the only person who works at Massive Dynamic, about Alex Graham Cracker. Nina was defensive at first, but then she got a phone call about something (Alien Baldy?) and went to Abaddon's house to dish. Thank you, Nina, and now we will no longer be in need of your services. When she went back to work, she was shot (and killed?) by some gaiz.

Walt shows Joshy the typewriter that typed the ZFT manifesto and says it was Bell's. He also says he doesn't think Bell would've intended bad things to be done with the manifesto and desperately tries to find the referenced Code of Ethics chapter. He finds it among his old records, but has no time to read it because Alien Baldy comes to take him away!

Now go watch so you can actually appreciate this eppy. Next week's the finale, but yay, it got picked up for another season!
