I liked the turn to dust effect, they did a really nice job with that. Especially when the fly landed on the person's face in the hospital bed and when the fan blew the guy away when he was on the phone. the preview of the episode ruined an otherwise potentially tense moment with the little girl at the end, because our commercials showed the little girl saying that there was a 'shadow man', so you knew that she didn't get dusted. It was a good stand alone episode with a little back story for Broyles character.
And Olivia's accent slipped a bit at the beginning of the episode, she asked something like "were there any soynes of a struggle". Other than that, I don't think I've ever heard her Australian accent peek through.

I thought it was awesome that Lance Reddick got so much screen time. Broyles is a great character, and a badass.

I think the actual plot specifics dragged a little (kidnap a girl because he "loves her"...awww, the Observers can *feel*....blech...no interest there) but what it meant for the overall mythology was astounding. Multiple Observers, throughout history, important events, Timecops, essentially...sort of. Then at the end "She looks so happy. It's a shame things are about to get so hard for her." (paraphrasing). Great stuff.

It was odd Walter gave the observer the solution to saving the girl. Also odd that she would become important because she was responsible for the death of an observer. That would only be important to observer history. The rest of the world doesn't know, the wounded observer was driven away. I don't see why this saved her. If the observers travel in time do they know how they will die? If they can show up to observe events they know will happen, they sure didn't see this coming.

I guess if they have a non-liner view of spacetime, they can "see" events before they happen, but I still don't get why only one Observer was able to see the timeline where the girl became "important". I know it was because of the Observer's eventual death, but whyfor was he the only one able to see that potentiality?

I guess they can "see" when events will occur, but they have be there to observe? be ready to change things? prevent change from happening? Maybe they're waiting for time travel to be invented, to make sure they continue to exist?
I got the feeling that somehow Walter knew what would happen when he told the observer about making the girl important, the gentleness and a bit of sadness when he told him.

Also: "Joshua Jackson is taking his ongoing fight against extra-terrestrial freaky fringe science to the movie screen. The Fringe star has signed on to headline the big screen version of 1970s British series UFO. Jackson, who despite his Fringe smirks and long dramatic pauses will always be Pacey from Dawson's Creek to me, will play Paul Foster, a pilot who joins SHADO (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense Organization) to combat an alien plan to harvest human body parts in the new feature version of Gerry Anderson's awesome series. The movie will be the directing debut of Iron Man's visual effects supervisor, Matthew Gratzner, and hopefully launch a new craze for purple hair, which was always one of the best things about the show" io9.com/5410880/fringes-jackson-to-save-earth-from-ufos
