Short Attention Span Review: "Fringe" 1/27

YouTube WILL KILL YOU! That's apparently the message of the latest installment of Fox's runaway cousin of the X-Files. The doughy detective from True Blood is visiting Boston this time, spreading warmth, cheer, and a viral audio/video file that turns brains to goo. Also, we get a rather satisfying B-plot about Walter and the lab assistant who died years ago.

I only had one real peeve this episode: In the climactic sequence, when Olivia's off to tackle Detective Viral, she KNOWS where she's going, she KNOWS the man's secret weapon uses a computer, and, presumably, she KNOWS computers require electricity. She should've called "a friend in the power company" to turn off that part of the grid until she nabbed him!
