First reaction :
AH, LSD.

The CG parts : how to spend less money to make an episode...
If it was mocap, it was bad. It that was animation, the animators should be fired - EXCEPT if it was done on purpose. I think it was.

It reminds me of all these zombie video games we're playing in class, or that short zombie "backward story" movie (Peter running with young Olivia reminded the father running with her daughter).
Lots of graphic and storyline references, like the cellshading style from some video games and movies, or the zombie Brandon thrown into the giant fan (from Indiana Jones and different zombies movies).

I loved that Peter was the one who found her. How cute.

And the man who's going to kill her.... I have an idea of who he could be.

I liked the view up towards the zeppelin; and Nina's squeal while falling down the elevator shaft. Broyles was pretty good too. Olivia was pretty matter of fact about the guy who's going to kill her too, as though that was something she and Peter had discussed.

This one was fun for the novelty of animation.

Grown Peter being able to find Olivia in the child Olivia was fun, but it's gets too close to an adult loving a child. It's very sexy in some circles and pornographic in other circles. Vampire lore deals with it! The old "Moonlight" show revolved around a vampire loving a small girl until she could grow up and see if she loved him or not. Even if she didn't love him, he kept an eye on her. It was all very hot. We just ignored the pedophile possiblities. Sorry!

Dealing with the child inside all of us. Boy. It's good to acknowledge that persona inside of us. But I also have to acknowledge the grown woman who has a much better handle on emotional stability. Being able to handle scary people, or situations. Remember that old book, "I'm Okay. You're Okay", the forerunner to The Self Help Book? We all have an inner child, and an inner adult. They have to get along. But if the inner child needs some attention, Don't ignore it.

How's that for Pop Psychology?

Pretty good. And I thought the same thing, choosing to show child Olivia taking Peter's hand was just weird. Lots of weird psyche things going on with the writers WRT Olivia, don't you think?

"WRT"?
