Notes

(A-) The cold open was pretty cool. I liked that it was more than just some people getting ill. There was some creepy guy causing it? Nice teaser.

I thought overall it was a very good episode. There is obviously something deeper to the story of grandpa Bishop (or Bishoff) than was explained in this episode. The big question is how did that Nazi scientist not age?

The show has been heavily about the Bishops of late, which is fine, because it was Olivia-centric early in the season. I would like to see some more Peter and Olivia moments. The writers are obviously dancing around the possibility of attraction between the two as you would expect, however, it would be nice to toy with that idea a little more than just talking about it.

I am not saying that they should full-on start a relationship now, but something. It might also be nice to have an Asterid-based episode.

That is not to say that I am not enjoying the way the season is progressing so far. The central relationship in this show has always been Peter and Walter, father and son. It is the emotional core of the show. I suspect that Peter will find out that he is really alt-Peter near the end of this season. The writers continuously drop hints about how Walter would do anything for his family and to not loose Peter again.

That certainly will be an interesting thing for alt-Peter to except.
