Fringe aired on the Fox Network in the US from 2008-2013. Two of the guest stars in this episode appeared on "The Wire", Gbenga Akinnagbe and Chris Bauer.

When I was watching Fringe the first time, and you know how it usually starts, when I saw an episode title like this I'd think "Oh no, something gross with brains this time"

This one and its plot very much reminds me of cyberpunk novels by William Gibson, the father of the genre.

I love that yiu're doing this show. I think from what I know of you from your Buffy reactions, you're really going to gel with this show and will get a lot out of it. Enjoy the journey.

Oh, favorite parts from this episode: (I think this didn't make your edit ...) The car salesman whose coworker just died, trying to sell Olivia a car. And, "Oh come on. He can not possibly be that stupid." "He's 19." Plus any episode with Ella in it is an awesome episode.

Good luck with everything.

Fringe raises the bar so high that what is an good episode for the standards of other TV Shows it is barely average for Fringe, you haven't gotten to the best part of season 1 yet (the weakest of all Fringe seasons) but soon you'll get there.

The end season 2 and season 3 is fringe at is best.
