SYNOPSIS:

In attempt to recall a plan to defeat the Observers, Walter takes an LSD trip down memory lane. Meanwhile, Peter and Olivia trace a mysterious signal to the woods, where they come upon a grisly scene.

I really liked this episode. The scene at the end with Walter was fantastic. Noble continues to surprise me.

Mr E

I thought it was really superb. The Black Umbrella Monty Python animation was very cool and that last scene with the flashback (projected on the walls) was very clever (and Noble was fantastic as usual).

I'm going to miss this show when it's finished.

That was one trippy but excellent episode.

The worst part is that this doesn't feel like an series coming in to it's end days and there's only one episode left before the three part finale

5.09, brought to you by the 2am Pyjama Appreciation Society.

Signal thing was a bit lame - lifted from Lost.

So, the next time you struggle to remember a password, drop acid, aight. Cracking Pythonesque scene.

Not a brilliant episode, but one for Noble's Emmy reel, surely.

Excellent episode and a big step up from last week.

I'm wondering how Walter's story is going to end as he continually moves towards being Evil Walter again. It's not looking good.

Any thoughts on whether Sam Weiss being active in the resistance is of significance?

And is possible for Michael to become September?

Was the creepy Observer child in an earlier season that I can't remember, from the orginal timeline?

Great episode, going to miss it when its gone.

Nevermind, found it and rewatched it. Season 1 Episode 15. Should probably rewatch the entire show once it ends, there are loads of episodes from season 1 I have forgotten and they are all linked. They actually seem like they had a basic storyline planned out unlike Lost and they have linked it together so much better instead of making a load of stuff up as they go along.

I've completely forgotten, but how did the Observer child come to exist?

Rewatching the season 1 episode yesterday, it wasn't explained, they find the kid in the underground of an old building that is about to be demolished, Walter says he might have been there for 70 years but hasn't aged. He is an empath and helps the team find a serial killer, at the end he is being driven off to a foster home and he sees September who he seems to recognise. That was the last heard of him until this season.

That was a pretty brave episode for American TV. They show Walter taking an illegal class A drug without any negative side effects, which seems to be the norm for a lot of shows. In fact, after watching it, I also want to drop acid!

Excellent episode! The Monty Python trip scene was just wonderful!

Probably nothing to it, but isn't September played by someone called Michael?

Loved that episode.

My theory that Walter or some version of him is the first observer is coming to fruition. He definitely created the observer tech in either case.

i wonder what they are gonna do with the observer kid, also did anyone find it odd that they mentioned sam weiss out of nowhere, i wonder if its gonna be relevant,

it will be very interesting to see what happens to walter in the next few episodes, i think its inevitable that he will turn into the walter of old, but yet again seeing that what he is capable of is not a power any one person should ever be allowed possess,


i think this season has been fairly good so far, but the lack of budget really shows here and there, and is kind of off-putting when your watching the episodes, especially week to week, like the last episode when olivia was kidnapped there simply was no need to strech that out for an entire episode, or even to do it in the first place, other that the fact it was so easy/cheap to go out to farm for a day and half and shoot the episode, id say it will be great to able to plow through this season when i eventually rewatch it,

next week is the last episode before the 3 part finale, so it should be interesting to see whats gonna happen,
