It's a Freak Baby!

The opener to this episode is great. It's very disturbing and horrific. The ultimate reveal of what was inside her is totally nuts! You can't help but watch on to find the answers.

I can totally see this story working in the X-Files. Growing soldiers using pituitary gland technology.

I had a lot more fun watching this episode than I did watching the pilot. The characters are coming into their own, especially the dynamic between the Bishop father and son. I love how they provide natural comic relief. I'm loving Joshua Jackson in this role; he's adorable.

I love how we are already getting more answers about the Pattern and starting to explore mysteries that were raised in the pilot episode. I was worried things might be left hanging for too long.

Strikes a great tone between sci fi, horror, mystery, comedy and crime drama. Really fun watch.

I'm even more excited now to see where this goes. Also, the hint about Peter Bishop's birth that we are given is tantalising!
