Season One Episode 3 “The Ghost Network” – Review
Score 90/100
Fringe seems to be a show that will be a hit for a long time. Based on the first 3 episodes, there are a lot of things to be revealed which gives the show legs. In this particular episode, “The Ghost Network,” focuses on what seems to be some type of terrorist attack. A public bus is bombed with a silicon based aerosol that freezes everyone on the bus like “mosquitoes in amber.” The team’s only lead is a man named Roy McComb. Roy has, for the last 9 months, drawn or constructed the horrible events that have been happening and the bus incident was no exception. That brings us to this episode’s fringe science called… The Ghost Network. Using metallic particles in the blood as transmitters, persons can communicate to each other similar to telepathy. Roy can only communicate his thoughts visually however. With some “minor” brain surgery, Doc Bishop and crew let Roy communicate audibly so Olivia can hunt down the terrorist.
Flight 627 from episode 1
This episode had many twists and turns and led to more questions that I can’t wait to see the answer to. The relationship between Peter and Walter is awkward and it should be because Walter is awkward. I also want to know what the relationship between Sharp and Broyles will lead to. The female characters are very plain and uninteresting with the exception of Nina Sharp.
It’s sad that I want to know more about Roy, a filler character, than I do about Olivia. I would love Olivia to have something more to her and it would be nice if they gave Agent Fransworth something to do other than be Walter’s helper. The show does have me intrigued and I can’t what to see who…
on train watching Olivia
…this guy is.
