Fringe: When In Doubt, Nazis.
Call us cynical, but as we understand it, the Germans of the 1930s were all about the cutting edge of technology. We're pretty sure that should this fastidious and brilliant Nazi scientist still be around, frozen in his aging process, he'd be using the very latest available cleanest most flawless music format available. Pretty sure he'd not use a scratchy old copy of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, but a fantastic clean version, full of the glory and drama where every note is clear.
More about this week's Fringe after the jump!
So. The apple doesn't fall far from the demented but brilliant scientist tree, we find out. Young Walter Bishop was just following in his Dad's footsteps, which is actually sort of sweet. Working with the Nazis, less so. In a sabotagy way 'cause he was actually secretly working for the Allies, somewhat better. Though given the success of his formula to poison people based on specific genetic markers...we have to wonder if Robert Bishop shared Walter's tendency to follow the information and it's possibilities without considering the implications or moral connotations. Or maybe his friend has been working on it for the last 70 years on his own? And why exactly is it that when they looked at the photograph of Dear Old Grandad at the end of the ep that that didn't recognize the recently eliminated adversary?
This week's X-files shout out: Old B&W photo of dear old dad who was involved in complex conspiracy standing next to The Bad Guy From This Week's Episode.
