Fringe - rajamailla In Which We Meet Mr. Jones (2008–2013) Online

While having a meeting with Philip Broyles, Frankfurt based FBI Agent Mitchell Loeb apparently has a heart attack. He goes to the hospital and when the doctors open his chest, they find a weird creature wrapped around his heart. Agent Dunham, Peter and his father Dr. Bishop are summoned by Broyles and Dr. Bishop believes the creature is a parasite developed by man. Dunham travels to Frankfurt to interview a man called David Robert Jones, whose name was found in a Loeb's report, and is imprisoned by the German government. However the man imposes a condition to give the antidote to Loeb: to ask one question to his partner Joseph Smith in Massachussetts. But the problem is The FBI has just killed Smith in a raid. How can Dunham get the answer from a dead man?

"In Which We Meet Mr. Jones" is another strange episode of Fringe, with a weird parasite wrapped around a man's heart; communication with a dead man; and unsolved mysteries.As usual, Dr. Bishop steals the show with his desire for mint while researching an intriguing case. But the lead story is entertaining. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "In Which We Meet Mr. Jones"

The episode was OK but after seven episodes they are already re-using material.

Pilot: college almost dies after 'n attack. They manage to save the college by communicating with a comatose / dead patient but after saving the partner he turns out to be the bad guy.

Episode 7: college almost dies after 'n attack. They manage to save the college by communicating with a comatose / dead patient but after saving the partner he turns out to be the bad guy.

So the story was OK, the plot development was fine. But still a little to repetitive for me.

A good episode IMO, the show is getting better, I was hooked from the first episode, but after three episodes, it started to go down hill, the same repetitive stuff, less attention to the big story and more like an episodic show, but in this episode I felt like its building up, like the silence before a storm, the saying (from the movie The Prestige) "the secret impresses nobody, its what you use it for.." If they told us the big story just like that, it wouldn't be that intriguing, but giving us bits to work on makes it really interesting! I love the show and I hope it stays long enough to tell the tale to the full!

Opening up with a high octane opening Mitchell Loeb leads a SWAT team to a mysterious black van, supposedly carrying some sort of cargo. Once they open the back door, they see nothing but stuffed animals. Loeb tells Broyles about the mission and how they didn't find anything, but then Loeb goes into panic and starts coughing up blood. Broyles calls in help and Loeb is taken to a hospital. There they cut into his body to find some sort of large parasite wrapped around his heart. The Fringe team is called in, and Dr. Bishop demands that Loeb be taken to his lab at Harvard University, just because he feels he needs more tools which the hospital cannot provide at the moment. As they study Olivia meets Mitchell Leob's wife Jessica, concerned but Olivia assures her that he'll be fine very soon, she promises that. Broyles tells Olivia more about the parasite and who could've caused it, David Robert Jones, problem is that he isn't in the states, he's in Germany. Olivia takes off to Germany and goes to a prison where she meets an old friend of hers, Lucas, used to be in the military. It will be hard to speak to Mr. Jones at the moment, but Lucas is happy enough to invite Olivia to his house for a drink. There they catch up, and then Olivia is tempted to become more familiar with Ian, though her boyfriend is gone she then realizes that she has to move on, so they make out. Meanwehile at Dr. Bishop's lab the tests are not going well, the parasite is even starting to grow at a rapid rate. Broyles learns about a rumor going on about who could've given Loeb this parasite, since Jones is locked up in Germany. John Scott tells him they have a possible lead, Joseph Smith, who Loeb was telling Broyles about before he collapsed. Both Dr. Bishop and Jones needs him alive, but Broyles has already called in a SWAT team to hunt him down. Peter is informed by Olivia and derives off to Smith's home, where he informs Broyles, but he is too late, Smith has been shot in the head. There is a chance of him helping them out still, by Dr. Bishop's theory. Now they try to sort of redo the experiment that Olivia was apart of in the pilot episode, except they are shocking Smith until Peter( strapped to a chair) can hear his thoughts. It doesn't work for a few times, but it does work well the last few times. The final shock has Peter hear something so fast he needs to write it out, so he is handed a black marker and a small plastic board by Agent Astrid, he can't even make it out, but in the end they come up with "Little hill." Olivia also has a discussion with Jones which results into the curiosity of them both. There is also a very nice twist at the end, won't give that away.

I don't think this was the best upside of the season so far but it does develop the character of Olivia, and shows aside to Broyles that we haven't seen yet. And of course Peter's dialog is getting even more witty. This episode also felt like in the lines of the pilot in terms of essence.

If I am to criticize this upside then my only complaint would be that the parasite inside of Loeb's chest looked a little too fake and nothing special, it looked like some kind of Chinese dragon toy, nothing scaly or interesting to look at.

All in all, a good episode.

7/10.

Chance Kelly (The Bad guy from Bruce Willis' "Unbreakable") is Mitchell Leob - A personal friend of Broyles.

Who gets infected somehow with a kind of Plant organism around his heart, during an FBI Raid that went bad. His wife is played by Trini Alvarado from Pete Jackson's "The Frighteners."

As a personal favour to Broyles, Olivia has Walter look at the Organism. A manhunt ensues, as two names had popped up: Joseph Smith and David Robert Jones. Smith is Local, but Jones is in prison in Germany.

And so Olivia travels to Germany to "meet" Mr. Jones - It seems that Jones had been expecting her visit. It would appear that Jones is the titular "Head" of the ZFT - Which means "Destruction through The Advancement of Technology" - An Organisation which is using a particular text as a Bible. This is the earliest of Fringe episodes that has anything to do with with ZFT: And it's relation to "The Pattern."

But that we do not learn these things in this episode, only the Name and the name of Jones - They are kind of "slipped under the door" in this episode: Hinted at, but never fully revealed.

Jones knows how to cure Leob but will not tell Olivia unless he can talk to Smith - Who unfortunately is Dead.

The interesting thing here is how Walter is able to gain access to a dead guy's brain. But even Walter has difficulty reading a brain that has been scrambled like so many eggs by a bullet.

In a way - The Medical Condition, Flying Out of Country, the race against Time for the cure, is similar to the Pilot Ep. But that is where the similarity Ends. This episode has one and one purpose only: "In Which We Meet Mr. Jones."

Who will be a Thorn in the Bishop's Side, and also William Bell's side — in Season 1 and Season 4.

This guy Leob - What is his agenda? We get to find out later in the season.
