What I also hate about the show is how they sometimes dumb things down for the audience, how how un interesting some of the hardware looks. I would be more convinced if they used BIG hardware (think: LHC) to travel through time or Universe-hop, but I am nitpicking.

By far the coolest things about the show is the relationships between the characters, their quirks, and the jokes (Dr. Bishop loves his LSD!). The father-son interplay good and quite touching.

I don't know why, but a scene near the end of the second season where Agent Dunham (Anna Torv) realizes the true origin of Peter Bishop (where he "flickers") is just - .. wow - chilling - scary - perfectly acted and directed - Just - wow.


The visual style of the show is great too, but I miss the JJ Abrams Lens Flare of the first season.

Oh, and how cool is this: The "Observer" is seen not only in every single episode in the first season (far in the background, on the street, passing by), but also in other Fox shows including fox sports, leading up to Fringe. Smart.


Yay, Fringe!
I didn't realize that she was (at one point) married to Mark Valley (also from Human Target).
