EPISODE'S BEST QUOTES

  • "Walter, remember that conversation we had about personal space?"
    "I'm bored. No cadavers at this crime scene. Or food." - Peter, Walter

  • "Chicken. You serious?"
    "Just a hypothesis. What do you think, more like pork?"
    "Truthfully, I don't really spend a lot of time thinking about what human brains would taste like."
    "Then why did you ask?" - Astrid, Walter
  • "This is exciting. You think the FBI will ever give me a gun?" - Walter
  • "All commands will come through the headphones. Once you're given the order to put on the headphones, do not remove them under any circumstances. If you do, you may die a gruesome and horrible death. Thank you for your attention and have a nice day." - Walter
  • "That was quick thinking. You always prove to be more resourceful than I give you credit for."
    "Is that supposed to be some sort of compliment? - Walter, Peter
  • "How many do you want?"
    "I'm not hungry. I don't need any crepes."
    "Oh, don't be ridiculous. You were abducted. Of course you need crepes." - Walter, Peter
OMG! MOMENTS

  • We realize that the kidnappers weren't the one's conducting the mind control -- it's 15 year old Tyler!
  • At the end of the episode, we realize there are a series of Tylers. Dr. Carson is seen walking down a hallway with children behind glass on both sides, presumably Massive Dynamic experiments.
EPISODE TRIVIA

  • The glyphs spell ARRIVE.
  • The Observer can be glimpsed outside the parking garage, screen right behind a silver car, as the police arrive.
  • Producers cleverly placed "The Simpsons" Easter Eggs in this episode to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons. One reference is the Simpsons PEZ dispenser that Tyler was eating from.

Like all Sci-fi type shows there are somethings that you just have to let go and give up to creative license. Knowing that, there are some things that are grounded in reality and should always be constant. I enjoyed this episode like all the other; however, I had a %@(%*@ moment that I just couldnt Ignore. To not spoil it, I will just say in an socket with alternating current you dont get shocked unless the loop is closed. This is a J. J. Abrams prduction not some Ron Hall B movie.
