Grey Matters

Posted by Nona on December 12, 2009 under Fringe | Be the First to Comment

A Fringe investigation is triggered when a patient at a mental institution undergoes an impromptu brain surgery that unexpectedly leaves his brain exposed. Despite the unthinkable circumstances, the patient’s condition and sanity miraculously improves before the Fringe team arrives. While Agent Dunham and Peter scan surveillance tapes (and Walter enjoys his pudding), Olivia recognizes a familiar face as Thomas Jerome Newton (guest star Sebastian Roche), the leader of the “shape-shifters.” As similar cases stack up, the Fringe team heads back to the lab to determine exactly how patients are being cured. Walter’s brains are put to the test and William Bell (guest star Leonard Nimoy) resurfaces in the all-new “Grey Matters” episode of FRINGE airing Thursday, Dec. 10 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (FR-210) (TV-14 L, V)

Guest Cast: Leonard Nimoy as William Bell; Sebastian Roche as Thomas Jerome Newton; Roger Cross as Smith.

Ew, that’s disgusting. He’s seriously taking something out from inside this dudes brain? Ew!

lol, they’re just gonna leave him with his head open like that? That’s insane!

Mr Slater: Help me.
Nooo, you don’t say. What, they’re just gonna leave you there with your head cut open and yur brain breathing fresh air? lol. I don’t think so.

Peter: So, basically, two guys broke in, cut a big hole in his head, and did what? Drove him sane?

Peter: Frozen heads don’t just get up and walk in to places. I mean the dead don’t just rise up from their graves and perform midnight brain surgery.
Olivia: No… I know they don’t…. but, this one did. Thomas Jerome newton.
Walter: Wow.

OMG, Walter might be insane due to someone putting something inside his brain? That’s just crazy. Does that mean he’ll be normal if they remove it? It that case I hope they don’t lol. I love crazy-Walter. Or has it already been removed?

Oh, it might be Walters brain in those other persons. Hm, I can go for that. It would be harder to restore. Yeah, I’m only thinking about myself and how I want Walter to stay the same. lol.

lol, Peter’s ranting worse than Walter does.

Walter’s back… for now…

Uh oh, he told them how to create a door. Eh, that’s actually worse then it sounds. lol.

Oh, look. Another one of those silver-bleeding guys!

That was not good. “Now I know how weak you are” – That dude’s gonna do something really bad to someone that Olivia loves to get the information and things he need.

Walter: Peter, I have a terrible headache, and a sudden craving for chicken-wings.

I completely agree with the whole “it was the right thing to save Walter and let him go” speech. Definitely rational, ’cause, like Broyles said, they’ll need him later on.

Initial reaction when Bell showed up on the screen: What the…? William Bell was involved with taking parts of Walters brain out (or some other really bad thing done to him)?! That sucks. I was actually starting to think that Bell had some sort of plan that was good, not evil. This makes me doubt it again.

Reaction after the scene was over: Hmm, well I still don’t trust him. He’s on the other side now and he brought Olivia there and back, so, somehow he must have kept some of Walter’s memories to himself, or in someway stolen that information from him. If it so dangerous, why would he do that after what he made Walter go through? And why didn’t he tell Olivia when he spoke about how dangerous these men were and how they could never find out how to create a door? I mean, since they were the once he hired to take the memories from Walter in the first place, wouldn’t that “tiny bit of information” be a little too big to fail to mention? No, I don’t trust him. He’s acting way too strange!
