Fringe: Take the Long Way Home

10 random thoughts and questions about last night's Fringe, "The Abducted":
  1. One of the Candyman's victims is alt.Broyle's son? How convenient!
  2. Fringe Division been working this case for years, but only Olivia can crack it? How convenient!
  3. Candyman isn't a serial killer, more of a serial... drainer?
  4. Why do all serial killers and kidnappers have a second full apartment hidden behind a closet of the the apartment they live in?
  5. The joining-of-the-dots between the Candyman's speech then the church, then the Candyman's lab and the minister require big leaps of logic.
  6. If all the bad guys are after is life-force from children, why does the minster attack the alt.Broyles family?
  7. Of course Olivia saves the alt.Broyles family in order to set up that alt.Broyles will save her from Walternate in an upcoming episode. I wish the the writers weren't so heavy-handed with the foreshadowing.
  8. Why does Henry the taxi driver help Olivia a second time? She's never paid him for the very long cab ride she had when she first met him. He seems too altruistic, without justification. Hmm, maybe this is subtle foreshadowing...
  9. Having been to the DOD lab only under supervised conditions, Olivia knows how to set up the sensory deprivation tanks, and find the right drugs to administer to herself, all in the space of five minutes? I know she has a photographic memory and high intelligence, but the other times she was at the lab, surely she wasn't privy to the settings of the tank or the combination of drugs administered. Yeah, yeah, dramatic expediency...
  10. Fauxlivia: busted! Peter, sleeping with her: disgusted!
