Official 2.02 "Night of Desirable Objects" Discussion Thread

I'm sure this has already been brought up and probably nothing, but was the Penn. house in Episode 2.2 the same house from the movie "Signs"?

Peter felt very Pacey Witter a lot of this episode. Not something I've really seen on Fringe before.

I didn't see that connection, but, then again, its been a while since I've seen Dawson's Creek.

They had some really great moments thrown into this episode. For me, the superbaby storyline took a backseat to shapeshifter Charlie, Liv's recovery from returning from the alter-world, and just how all the characters interacted with each other. I think you were able to see just how much they've grown in one season. Peter definitely wouldn't have told Walter that story last year. And if Liv shot at Peter, say, in the Pilot, I doubt he would've stuck around very long.

Agreed!

Walter and Peter in a boat on a little lake--and the Loch Ness monster in the background, texting to Gene...

LOL!!!

Walter was so emotional, first with Olivia in the lab and then with Peter. How sad he didn't know that Peter was referring to him about the fishing trip.

Olivia's super hearing is a nice touch. I wonder what Peter's ability will be.

NotCharlie (that's what I'm calling him) was looking pretty bad when he went to typing class. I love that prop. He is so much more interesting now that's he's really an evil alien. I wonder how long the alien can live inside his body.

I wasn't crazy about this episode, it reminded me too much of an old Xfile episode. I give it a 6.

I read a discussion somewhere that posited Walter's sad reaction ("I don't know what I would have done") being really him talking about his dead son...I think there is a lot more to come out when we finally get that story.

I have to say I really loved this episode actually, preferred it to the premiere episode which I was majorly dissapointed with to be honest, I thought the show got it's groove back a little here and with Liv on the verge of maybe discovering more about her trip to see William Bell, I'm starting to feel a little bit more comfortable with where the season is going. Also, I loved the X Files vibe. I have a feeling the house used in the episode was the same one featured from the infamous season four episode Home.

Can I also just remark, the scene at the end between Peter and Walter was fantastic, the type of acting on television that ought to win Emmy's if you ask me.
