Snakehead

After a cargo ship runs aground, the shoreline becomes littered with bodies hosting a giant squid-like creature. The Fringe team descends upon the scene to examine the bodies and discovers that the mysterious organisms are actually giant parasites. As the investigation unfolds, Walter heads back to the lab while Olivia, Peter and Broyles race against time when they realize the case has ties to a threatening organization in the all-new “Snakehead” episode of FRINGE airing Thursday, Dec. 3 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (FR-209) (TV-14 L, V)

This is kinda cool, but seriously – yuck!

This quote kind of sums up the whole show:
Peter: So how many are there? Is it bad?
Olivia: Did you eat?
Peter: Yeah.
Olivia: That’s unfortunate.

Now to some great Walter-logic:
Walter: I saw you, following the taxi in the Station Wagon.
Peter: I wasn’t following you Walter, we were coming to the same place.
Walter: You don’t trust me.
Naaw, an independent Walter. Haha.

Eww, yuck, eww…

This week’s story is actually one of the most believable so far imo. I mean, illegal Chinese immigrants used to smuggle drugs, medicine or other things like that, then killed once they get to the US. Definitely not hard to believe. The parasite is actually also a pretty believable thing, thoguh the size it grows to in just two weeks seems a little unlikely. lol. Well, Fringe isn’t really supposed to be realistic, but I actually like episodes that are so close to believable the most.

Uh oh, Walter and his big mouth. He trusts people way too much. :/ Did anyone ever think about giving Walter a phone? Geez. Poor guy. I love how he kept answering with “Hello, Peter, it’s me – Walter, you’re father.” That reminds me of what Linda, the other blogger on the site, used to say when she called even after more than a year of friendship – “Hi, it’s Linda… *last-name*… we’re in the same class.” LOL.

Walter implanted a tracking device in his own neck so Peter can know where he is all the time? That’s hilarious!

I really liked this episode! I think it was the fact that it was a fairly believable story that made me like it so much. It’s not the best of the season, but it’s up there.
