Oh and like everyone have already mentioned, it was very confusing to see a dead agent running around.
Once the popularity of the show increased, I believe they decided to air a "fail" episode they had put aside to cash in some extra $
It was the acting and the show's general atmosphere that made it watchable. It may not deserve the lowest 1 point I gave it but I don't like religion (with obvious agenda) being forced into shows where it doesn't belong, where it is a neutral element, not even a concern either under positive light or negative one!! But this episode moved the show out from the neutral zone and put a certain religion in the center of it in a way saying science is something within the context of this particular religion, not outside of it, this religion is still the dominant factor!
Unfortunately this episode was seriously a very low point of otherwise a great show!
This is just a quote for what it seems a strange jump in the story time line, hopefully this will help you understand why strange things happen in this episode that has no continuation with the others!
Apart from this... the episode is quite interesting, but I don't really understand the fear of the controversy. Let's see what happens on the next episode of Fringe.
Now here are the problems. This episode is not in sync with the episodes preceding and succeeding it. In fact, it has nothing to do with them whatsoever. It does not contribute to the overarching plot of the series one bit. Then comes the major inconsistency of a character that's supposed to be dead reappearing.
If that wasn't enough, a Christian thematic is played up in this episode to the point where the way characters act does not make sense and is not consistent with the rest of the series. It's done in a way that would've worked with The X-Files, which deal with all sorts of paranormal, as opposed to Fringe, whose name itself refers to Fringe SCIENCE.
If you, the reader, are for some reason reading this review before seeing the episode, don't watch it. It's easily the worst of the series, and by watching it all you'll do is waste 40 minutes of your time.
Creator said here's another mystery: is it an unaired episode from Season One, or is it from an alternate universe? we are waiting for new episode long time, but it is little disappointment.. what ? they need agent Charlie or he have got friend at court :) ?!?! Good guys never die even if another universe.......
bye the way it is a little detail, Observer walk by behind Olivia on the Cathedral steps. this observers observe every universe ?!
still, I found it enjoyable and interesting.

- TriviaThe glyphs in this episode spell "Avenge".
- GoofsBefore organs are removed from the donor, brain death must be verified (usually by two independent doctors with no prior connection to the patient), not the ventilator being switched off. The ventilation via endotracheal tube must continue until the aorta is cross-clamped, and only then be switched off. The first organ to be recovered is always the heart due its high oxygen demand, the last one the liver, not like it was shown here.

Dr. Walter Bishop: [in old film] My name is Dr. Walter Bishop, and this is test subject number 6.
Peter Bishop: [watching film] What happened to test subjects 1 through 5?
Dr. Walter Bishop: I believe the university settled with them out of court, and they probably never had to work again.
