On the Viewer - Fringe (Episode 13 - "The Transformation")
 by Fëanor

Does anything good ever happen on an airplane in this show?

Woah, is this dude the Hulk, or what? Did he get injected with super soldier serum?

Aw, man, that may be my favorite opening yet. So awesome. Super werewolf hedgehog man!

Woah, Olivia's niece looks a little like the Joker in all that makeup. Btw, I can't believe her sister and her niece still want to stay with her, or that she's still letting them stay with her. She is not safe to be around!!

Uh oh, the magic John memory thing is resurfacing again. That's creepy, but very handy!

Man, even Broyles looks freaked out by the disturbing black box recording.

Good old Charlie. His face always says, "That's totally insane," but all his mouth ever says is, "Okay."

Heh, heh. Pete answers his phone, "Bishops' house of horrors."

Man, Olivia is hardcore. No, don't sedate the guy turning into a monster until he gives us a name! Ha!

Walter's got a watermelon as a control group. And he's eating it! God, I love him. Will the antidote be ready in time to stop this guy from turning into a beast? Eh, probably not.

Ooh, Olivia wants to dig up John Scott's body. That'll cause trouble, seeing as John Scott's body is in Massive Dynamic's secret lab!

Oh, crap! He's actually taking her to the secret lab! I'll be damned.

Oh, Olivia. Back in the tank? Not a good idea.

This is very weird. She's seeing one of her rendezvous with John. Except - shouldn't she be seeing herself making out with John from John's perspective? So it'd be like she's making out with herself? That'd be some hot TV right there. I'm just saying is all.

Oh, man, this was Olivia's worst trip in the tank yet. Not only did the John-memory-thing see her, he talked to her, and she shot him!! That just can't be good.

So John was maybe a good guy after all? Man! Or is he doubly evil and trying to manipulate Olivia from beyond the grave?

Walter: "An experiment? How exhilirating!"

Hicks: "You trusted John Scott, didn't you? Then trust me." That's not exactly a ringing endorsement!

"Who's he?" the guy asks of Peter. Olivia responds, "Who are they?" pointing at the guy's bodyguards. Touche!

I have the bad feeling that the antidote Bishop gave Hicks is going to wear off at an extremely inopportune moment.

And, yes, I was right about that! Hoo boy.

Whew! That was a close one. Good show, Olivia! And Peter, of course.

Oh my God, she's going back in the tank again?!?

I think she's engaged to the memory patterns of a dead guy now.

Great, great episode. One of my favorites so far. Very clever and imaginative, very exciting, very funny, and even rather moving at the end. But of course, I'm a sucker for a super soldier serum.
