One curiosity was that at the start of the show, with its typical weird opening, they introduced a character called Jessica Holt, played by Rebecca Mader. I really do hope they don’t write Jasika Nicole out of the series, because she’s at the very heart of the show, and without her Walter’s insanity would be much less amusing or touching. For once, she actually complained he got her name wrong, which Walter explained away as ‘I was on a roll’. They’re like an wonderful long-married couple, where the failings of each, or really Walter, is something that actually bonds them together. Where the episode really worked for this reviewer was in the dialogue they gave to John Noble, and the scenes between Walter and Astrid. In many respects his demotion and death in this story rather undermined all we’ve ever known about him, as he was just another minion and not the mastermind after all. Quite why he turned to dust so dramatically, I’ve really no idea, but it looked creepy enough. In the end the demise of Dr Jones was both enigmatic and poignant, as he realised that the chess ‘Bishop’ that Bell talked of sacrificing wasn’t Peter, but himself. Is it the Bell from this dimension or the other, because surely the alternate was killed in a car accident? That actually contributed to making his arrival, and part in the Dr Jones saga even more shocking, although in hindsight who else could have convinced the alternate Nina to be so dedicated to this cause.
