I'm thinking they might use cortexiphan like the lemon pie to heal her. Maybe. Why only a B? That episode was the best one ever and heartbreaking. Poor Astrid. After all this time not in the spotlight she...

Heh you did catch who the bhisop was really supposed to represent right?  Anyway can't say as is a spoiler and some may not have watched BUT I agree with Jaw I would have given this an A.  Still the best scifi/fantasy show on television.

 Astrid must live! I was so excited to see her finally using her FBI training rather than playing able assistant to Walter - i'm betting that being a lab rat was not what she had in mind when she went into the acedamy. More Astrid!!!

Definitely deserves an A.  These last 2 episodes have had some really unexpected twists.  Has anyone ever asked why there are no female Observers? Even in the Letter of Transit episode.  There must be something behind that.

I've really enjoyed Fringe since day one. However, the writing has been a bit of a roller coaster. Anyone remember the cartoon episode(uhg)? Someone help me out..........Spoilers here>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

In the beginning of this episode, how do the patrons/victimes instantly surmize that by moving, they will die? That semed to be a huge assumption/conclusion for them to jump to.

Going to shutdown the satellites. Why do Olive and Peter have no backup? Not even a couple of extra agents/cops. Hell even Kirk would beam down some red shirts for fodder!

I can't wait to see the season finale!!

Xeno, the name of the episode LSD should be enough to explain the cartoon episode. Plus since it was the nineteenth episode it was going to be tradition to have a weird nineteenth episode - hence the cartoon.

Because if you're standing still and everybody that is falling is doing so while walking that's a pretty good hypothesis.

They could have had backup but what's the point if they weren't going to get there in time. They didn't know when the sun was going to burn throught the ground.

Anyone else notice the X' on the nanomachines and remember the LSD episode where the man in the blimp had and X on his shirt? And the man was supposed to be the an that kills Olivia. And The Watcher has said that Olivia will die in all universes.

 Am I the only one to think that the Fringe'verse has LOST all coherence? Seems like they are inventing things as they go along. Each episode is worst than the last one, and nonsense is becoming a common currency (Olivia telekinetically punching Moriarty? Gimme a break...). The guys writing this must have FIREFLY brains.

Oh, wait... I'm commenting the "Fringe" show from the other timeline, not this one. Sorry...

@MrJaw...I'll give you a couple of those points but, the beginning sequence and giant assumption that everyone is combusting because we're walking was lazy writing.

Fringe has lost its way a little bit since the first season. I really felt it was on track to replace X-Files but, it has ran into the ditch. Now, Fringe has done a good job of trying to get back on track. I have really liked this season so far. The show is at its best when the whole team is together, working on the same page with one another. Yes, it can be a bit incoherent and lazy but, it seems to be getting better. Now, what the hell is the deal with Bell?

How's it lazy writing? What would you peronally as a layperson would have thought if everybody that was moving was dying but you and everybody else you saw that standing still was fine? Did you want that lady to be like - "Hey! Were you on the escalator? MAYBE that's it!"

Come on Man!! Your walking through a lobby, full of other people walking and carrying on about their day. A guy walking next to you collapses. Then, a lady behind you. Another man falls to the ground. Your confused, excitment and fear begins to race through your veins. You start scanning the area looking for something odd or out of place. Like a man with a gun. There is no smoking gun. So, the only logical explenation is that we need to stop moving. Ok....whatever dude.

In reality. Everyone infected probably would have died. Fear and chaos would have taken over. Everyone there most likely would have panic at the sight of each other falling to the ground. Peoples natural fight or flight instincts would have taken over. Since there was no obvious threat to fight everyone would have fled. Result. Death.
