fringe_rewatchI don't have much to say about this episode except that the mysterious mute child does return, in season five, I believe. In time, all will become clear...
Writer: Brad Caleb Kane, Julie Cho
Director: Frederick E.O.Toye
Originally aired: April 7, 2009
Synopsis:
Just minutes before the building above him is going to be demolished, one of the workers takes one last look around and discovers a mysterious mute child. The child has been living alone underground; the authorities want to know when and how he got there, and how he survived. For reasons that are unclear to me, the Fringe team is called in to investigate. Olivia forms a special bound with him. Meanwhile, a gruesome serial killer resurfaces. Naturally Olivia joins this investigation, too. She's a very busy agent.
Most Memorable Quote:
"My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pies. No. That's the planets of the solar system... or at least was." - Walter (to himself, reciting a mnemonic device to remember the order of the planets from Mercury, outwards... then realizing Pluto is not considered a planet anymore.)

Date: 2014-06-03 12:43 am (UTC)I liked the child actor in this episode more than the one they used in season 5.
They really should have spent the whole episode exploring the Child Observer and Olivia's relationship, rather than mashing three different stories together.
I do love the way Walter constantly veers from hypercompetant and arrogant to oblivious and childlike.
"We found another one." How many kids did the Observer have?
I really wish we got more backstory on Broyles. Other government officials defer to him constantly.
That's all I really have to say - not one of my favorite episodes, but once again the relationships keep it from being totally forgettable.
