SPOILER ALERT
Maybe it's just that I don't care for parasite-based sci-fi but this one was worse than most. Yes, Fringe requires a complete suspension of disbelief but a huge parasite like this goes unnoticed until the guy has what looks like a heart attack? Sorry, no.
Mostly my issue was the zinger scene at the end of the episode with the guy who had the parasite clamped to his heart (and who would have died outright except for heroic efforts by our Fringe team), says to his wife "did our plan work?" You know, the plan that would most certainly have culminated in his death except for the hope that a crazy scientist in a lab in Harvard might figure out a way to save him.
Super lame.
John Nobel salvaged the ep through sheer acting brilliance.
