    The final Potter film will be truer to the source material than the other films? Pfft. If there is ANY of the books that could use a little pruning, it's the final one. I mean, come on; it's two and a half hours of bitchy teens camping out in drizzly woods.

    @Smeagol92055: "... it's two and a half hours of bitchy teens camping out in drizzly woods."

    I've already seen that once and hated it in "The Blair Witch Project." No need to see it again.

    Ok, I've never actually watched Smallville - SPACE (Canada's SyFy) shows repeats of the current episodes at 6am on Mondays (when I'm usually at the gym.)

    I've gotta ask - does that fellow (Oliver? from the sub-titles) actually OWN a shirt?

    A Supernatural episode titled "My Bloody Valentine." I love that this show and the actors are willing to make fun of themselves.

    @EdificeComplex: I just love this show in general. So far the only thing I have whined about was what they did with the Trickster. I would have liked it better if he had really been Loki.

    @LittleDragon: The whole Loki thing didn't bother me too much. The way they dealt with who he actually was fits with the show's established mythology, I think. So far, IIRC, all the demi-god level characters have been from the Christian mythos. Although if they did open up the show to deities from other religious pantheons, it would allow for some great new story-lines. Potential Season 6???

    @EdificeComplex: I am for any thing that gets us a season 6. The five demi-gods that I can think of are the harvest scary crow, the winter time human eaters, the fan eater, and the trickster. Where do the other four fit into christian mythos? I am not arguing, I just don't know. Can't remember enough of my sunday school.

    Oh, you're right. Scratch what I said in my previous post then. It's been a while since I watched the previous seasons, and I tend to wipe anything with Paris Hilton from my memory. Time to break out the DVD sets again.

    @EdificeComplex: I thought was missing some connections. Semi-photographic memories come in handy when obsessing about a favorite tv show. I would have glazed the PH as well but there were some good Dean/Sam moments. Some may think its sacrilege, but I thought it was great when Gandhi attacks Sam.

    I've noticed that they have been hiding not only Observers in every episode but, lately, glyphs as well.
    lab where the worm monsters were being extracted from the bodies last week. There were several on the graffiti wall where Olivia and fake Charlie were fighting at.) This week there was a butterfly on the glass window of the mental hospital's activity room.

    And once again, Abrams managed to slip in a Star Wars reference with Olivia's license place of 1C3PO1.

    The most heartbreaking scene for me was during the slide show when Walter was asked what he thought when he looked at certain pictures.

    Picture of a kid on the beach.
    WALTER: Peter!
    Picture of pudding.
    WALTER: (giggling) Peter!
    Picture of a casket.
    WALTER: (tearing up.) ....Peter...

    It reminds you just how much Walter thinks of his son.

    I noticed Astrid was carrying a sidearm (a Glock I think, same as Olivia, and currently FBI issue IIRC) when she was in Walter's old house. So she's not just a technician.

    @Chip Overclock: She's always been called Agent Farnsworth so I assume she's been through the FBI academy. I bet the weapon's usually nearby when she's in the lab (not near enough last week though).

    @Ghost_in_the_Machine: There's a difference, I think (I'm not an expert on these things, I'm just unfocused) between "Agent" and "Special Agent". The latter are the ones that have had the tactical training.

    Then again, it is television, and I like Astrid. So I'm going with it.

    @Chip Overclock: All FBI agents are "Special Agents" (IIRC it was a PR gimmick by Hoover). But like you said, it's the TV FBI so Astrid is an agent instead of a non-agent FBI employee.

    Right. So I saw an excerpt from last week's episode that showed an Observer and I can't find the Observer from this week's episode. Somebody wanna point it out to me?

    @Rocketknight: When Peter, Olivia and the rest of the FBI unit are charging down into the subway to find Walter via the GPS signal, right on the street, way in the background is the Observer standing right behind a white car with a yellow wall behind him. He is blurry but it's hard to mistake the pale guy in a suit with a Fedora for anyone else.
