Fringe follows up on its pilot with a story about a guy who murders prostitutes - to remove their pituitary glands! The episode consists of fast-aging, viewing images from the retina of a corpse (on your right), and an overdose on anesthesia.I felt Anna Torv has become more comfortable in her character since the pilot. John Noble was even better than in the pilot - he deals the dramatic and comedic punches perfectly in this episode.
We see Walter forget what happened in the pilot - I think we might see him forget a lot more at some point. Also a different side of him is shown when he snaps at Olivia and Peter seems like he knows more than he is letting on about his father's condition. Peter may also be related to the mythology in some way - he might turn out to be a test or some kind of experiment - where's his mother? I liked Peter and Walter's short moment at the end - some nice sentimentality.
A decent episode, with a good ending - still, I expect better, and the way things are going, an exceptional episode may be right around the corner.
