    Not really good

    Season 2 is starting very slow , except for the Charlie arc and William Bell appearence in ep 4.

    " Dream Logic" is once again a plot that make you thing to an X files plot ( "sleepless " Season 2 " via negativa" Season 8 ) Like the first scene is a clear copy to the first season of the episode " Folie a deux" from X files Season 5 I Hope Fringe will do some Standalone with their on plot someday... Not just copy an old TV show and adding some stupid science in it.

    I want so hard to be a fan of this show, and I was by the end of Season 1 but the standalone are so bad... Im afraid I will only be Interested into the main story soon and thats a shame.

    By example in the X files the standalone are just as fantastic as the main story... Hope Fringe will find a way to level up their Monster of the week stories "Dream Logic" 7/10.

    No Rules

    When there are no rules we are allowed to do anything. This show at times has no rules and we are taken off in strange pathways. Here, people in Seattle, are going nuts and attacking those around them viciously. It goes back to a dream specialist who with good intentions planted a device in the brain. It has been successful in modifying common sleep problems, but somehow he has imprinted his own crazy dreams on others and since those are nightmares, the results are violent. Some of the results are hard to explain, but it is still interesting. There is, of course, a little shot at the end that complicates things, setting up possible future episodes. Of course, the parallel universes are still to be dealt with.

    The Dream's Thief

    In an office, a man called Greg Leiter sees that his coworkers are demons and kills his chief with his briefcase. The Fringe Division goes to the hospital and Olivia and Peter interview Greg; out of the blue, he has an attack and dies with acute exhaustion and white hairs. While Dr. Bishop performs the autopsy of his body, Olivia and Peter visits Greg's wife and learns that he had sleep disorder but was under treatment. Meanwhile there is a similar incident and Dr. Bishop finds a chip connected to the thalamus in both corpses. The Fringe Division visits Dr. Nayak, who had implanted the chips, and suspects of his assistant Zach. But when Zach is found dead in his room and Dr. Nayak receives a note with an intimidation since he is collaborating with the FBI. But soon the Fringe Division believes that Dr. Nayak is addicted on the dreams of his patients.

    "Dream Logic" is an entertaining episode of "Fringe" with the storyline apparently not connected to the parallel universe. Peter's dream in the end of the show is the most intriguing part since he recalls when he was abducted by Walter. My vote is eight.

    • Trivia
      The Observer can be seen in the background, walking down the stairs of the Nayak clinic, when Olivia is suggesting contacting all local pharmacies.
    • Goofs
      When discussing whether Dr. Nayak's server could have been hacked, Agent Broyles says there was "no sign of a DDoS attack". A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is not a means of hacking into a server to alter data - it refers to flooding a web site with so many connections, through automated means, that legitimate visitors can't connect to it. It's a mode of attack that has no relevance to the situation they were discussing.

      Astrid Farnsworth: Walter, what's wrong?

      Dr. Walter Bishop: Either a green unicorn just raced across the lab, or I accidentally took some LSD.
