Unfortunately, next week’s episode is going to be the last one before the show goes on winter break. I would like to take the opportunity to remind FOX that "winter" ends on March 21, and not on April 1, which is the date of Fringe’s return (and no April Fool’s jokes, I promise). It seems like we are going to have to wait a little longer for Fringe to confirm its commitment to awesomeness.
"A sinister cabal of superior writers."

Again sorry to be this late, it's like for your last review. Plus, I'm ill!
Anyway, very interesting episode indeed. For a TV Show about science like "Fringe" it feels natural to make an episode about the nazis scientific experiments.
It was nicely done. The ehtical issue and the danger of putting some formulas into the wrong hands were well adressed.
Walter killing the mad Scientist was a jaw droping scene and I can't believe that the writers minimized this act like that. Neither Broyles or Olivia seem particularly shocked. Is it really okay to use this formula if the target is not an innocent? One might think that Walter's action here has nothing to envy to the Mad Scientist ones.
It was nice to learn more about the Bishops. What a family!
Yes, where did the mad Scientist got the formula? By the picture at the end we might think that he was one of the Nazis sicentist that discovered it. That's why he knew robert Bishop and was able to say that Walter looked like him.
It is getting more and more intriguing.
The hiatus is gonna be a very long one, I'm afraid.

You're ill!!! That's terrible - I'm really sorry to hear that. I do hope your schedule has become a little lighter, and you have time to rest?
You're right regarding the surprising lack of reaction from Olivia and Broyles - or even from Peter. If there had been no other choice, i.e. had there been no other way to identify him, I would have understood taking that path. However, they still had time, and they had located the man. Killing him was pure revenge, and a disturbing return, yet again, to the pre-brain surgery Walter.
There are three really important clues to swho he is. First, the reaction of the lady at the wedding; she had been at the concentration camp where the MS had worked, and recognised him just seconds before she died. Second, Walter finding out that the MS' cell decomposition is akin to that of a cell over 100 years old; and third, that he was in the picture. So most probably he had stumbled upon the fountain of youth and hadn't aged a whit since the second world war.
And yes, the hiatus... omg, it's going to be rough!!!
