Fringe/The Same Old Story/#2

I would totally use that device to look into peoples' minds up until 6 hours after death ALL the time.

Couldn't happen. It's supposed to be the last image seen. Also, they claimed the only reason it worked on the one woman was due to the injection she was given by the killer.

No, the thingy they used in the first episode. What allowed the main woman to go into the head of her boytoy and find the face of the man who made the labs explode in the garages. THAT can be used up to 6 hours after death.

Yep. Also, the Face of the Evil Corporation asked how long he had been dead at end of the episode. Upon hearing "five hours", her response was "Question him."

Yeah. When he died, I looked over at my roommate and said the good guys should question him. Then the bad guys decide to and I was like at least SOMEONE is going to question him...

One of the worst things I dislike in shows [and I don't know if it's going to happen in this show or not] is when they ignore past technologies for whatever reasons when it's plainly clear that using that past technology would benefit their cause greatly and probably make their jobs easier. BUT it frequently makes the story less dramatic or w/e...

One of the things that really bothered me about the ep was how

Spoiler

the baby kept growing after emerging from the mom. Where did that mass come from? It could just have aged rather than keep on growing.

Will continue watching if there's nothing else on, but overall it's still not a grabber.

This is what disappoints me a little about the show - it's science is not merely speculative - as I hoped - it is simply impossible.

It's not enough yet to make me stop watching the show - I like the characters, and the storyline might turn out to be interesting enough to entertain me despite the "non-science", but that remains to be seen.

I'm enjoying the show as I like the characters. The science is just goofy X-Files/science fiction (totally fiction) to me.

As others have mentioned, though, hopefully they don't forget things that happened in past episodes. Some modicum of consistency and continuity is vital, AFAIC.
