This episode was bad and a terrible way to set the series up for a mini-break while the baseball season plays out over the next few weeks. After last weeks terrific episode this episode felt like a massive dosage of filler. The case of the week was silly and it seemed like the good Dr. Dream was the perpetrator the entire time.
Let me get one thing straight though. William Bell pulled Olivia from a moving car through an inter dimensional portal to inform her not to loose one specific head to the enemy and she failed to do it. So obviously she wants to head out to Seattle for a completely unrelated case. Makes perfect sense.
On a brighter note, I was happy with the way Olivia was dealing with the loss of Charlie. The bowling guru still seems like he could be a super interesting character and I enjoy the business card fetch quest he sent Olivia on. It was pretty neat how the message she needed to hear was the first words Charlie ever spoke to her. Of course that all may be for naught as I am still hoping we get doppleganger Charlie from dimension "X" back by the end of this season.
Continuing along the bright side Peter's encounter with Dr. Dream seems to have awoken some childhood nightmares which most likely are the key to remembering that Walter has been lying to him since the age of eight. Creepy.
Where is Olivia's sister and niece? Did the writers simply drop them out of the story as quickly as they were dropped into it? Speaking of the writers, I recently found out the two of the three co-creators of Fringe were responsible for writing this summers "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen". I am wondering if that knowledge has so discolored my opinion of the series that I will never again love a single episode as much as I loved last week's (before I knew they were responsible for the worst summer movie turd ever).
