FRINGE Episode 8 "The Equation" Discussion
Tonight's episode of Fringe "The Equation" was not my cup of tea.
The story was sort of boring. Watching Walter go back to the asylum was not very interesting and looked to me as if it was just an excuse for setting up a future plot line where the asylum director takes custody of Walter. (Yeah sorry but it is kind of obvious that they are setting up the season finale here)
I did like the moment when, after ineffectively talking with a mentally unstable patient friend, Walter asked Peter if that's how it was to talk to him. Funny.
Overall, I don't see what is the big deal with Fringe. If we took JJ Abrams out of the equation, there is really not much behind it. If this was cancelled, I wouldn't feel exceptionally bad. Do you guys agree? Leave a comment to let me know what you think.

Hey, I don't fully agree with everything you said.. I like the show, its different than the rest of them. I do agree that sometimes it is transparent and corny and lame but usually, it keeps my attention. Last nights episode was OK... I thought it was building up to something much more revealing, but my real problem with last nights episode is that THE ENDING MADE NO sense to me! I mean the part with the apple in the safe.. He put in an apple, then pulled out an apple. How clever? Will you explain it to me please? Thanks!
The Episode was fine , maybe your setting your expectations too high and getting disapointed. The part with the apple i think the fomula the episode was based on, made the mans hand and also the apple to pass directly through solid matter ( the safe wall in this case ). so in a future episode we may see say a person walk directly through a wall to infiltrate some facility, and this would of explained why it was possible. and maybe the seahorse at the end will be a clue to a future episode, like this is not the 1st time we have seen the image of an apple before, i thought the apple was representing something else maybe it still does.
i just hope they find a better way to connect all the information proper to each episode of the show at the end, unlike jj abrams's Lost, which has already sunken into deep sh*t.. wtf is the pattern anyway? fringe science my ass..
I agree, this episode was not at the same caliber that I have come to expect from the show. I would be upset if the show was canceled. Personally, the first few episodes gave me a very x files vibe, but the last few seem to stray away from that to a more hellish conspiracy theory. I do think the episode was just one big set up, and hopefully next week picks up the crazy science plot that flew through the first few.
