Review of Bloodline

Fringe: Bloodline (2011)
Season 3, Episode 18
6/10
A Bit of a Spy Thriller
28 March 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Again, another solid episode. This time we get to see some of the other side's character interactions, including: Olivia and her mom; Linc and Charlie (and Astrid); plus Walter and his assistant-over-there-but-is-Nina's-head-researcher-here. There is a kidnapping for nefarious undertones dealing with the pregnancy, a daring escape, a decent amount of screen time devoted to the cab driver from earlier in the season (the guy from The Wire), and a good resolution. Sure, there are questionable elements (nobody notices a shiny scalpel on the floor, or uses an IV instead of pills for guaranteed knock-out medication, or thinks to put guards outside the building) but they are fairly minor. More importantly they don't disrupt the story as totally out-of-bounds; they're believable enough. Everybody is a suspect up until Walternate talks to Lincoln halfway in, which is fine. This was a spy episode, not a whodunit. Enjoyable.
