Trivia
The glyphs for this episode spell out: WOUND

Goofs
At around 26:20 as Walter rolls down the window at the checkpoint you can clearly see there's no key in the ignition. Not only shouldn't the car be running, but you would not be able to steer either as the steering wheel would be locked without the key.

Quotes
Henrietta Bishop: [about a complex physics formula retrieved from a secret location] Will you be able to figure it out?
Dr. Walter Bishop: [Frustrated] Don't you understand, this is Greek to me! Except I read Greek. This is Aramaic to me! Not the western dialect, I do speak that.

An Emotional Story of Love

After collecting gas in a car, Peter sees a necklace in a pawnshop and decides to buy to Etta. However an Observer tries to read his mind and Peter succeeds to flee. Walter finds another partially damaged tape with Astrid but he recalls he hid documents in a highly protected subway station in Manhattan. They plot a plan using a chemical developed by David Robert Jones and succeed to retrieve the documents. But The Observers and the Loyalists arrive and Captain Windmark catches Etta with tragic consequences.

"The Bullet That Saved the World" is a heartbreaking episode of 'Fringe" with an emotional story of love. The unexpected fate of Etta will certainly affect the behavior of the characters on the next episodes. My vote is nine.
