The No-Brainer

Résumé
"The No-Brainer" is the twelfth episode of the first season of the American science fiction drama television series Fringe. The episode was written by David H. Goodman and Brad Caleb Kane, and it was directed by John Polson. It first aired in the United States on January 27, 2009, on the Fox Broadcasting Company. The core trio of the Fringe department—Olivia, Walter, and Peter—investigate the death of a teenager whose brain has been liquefied after watching a video sent to his computer. A car salesman and a stepfather are targeted next and become part of the investigation. All of the victims are connected to a disgruntled high-level computer programmer (Chris Bauer) who has lost his job and whose whereabouts are unknown. The murderer then sends the video to Olivia's laptop and almost kills her niece Ella, but Olivia bursts into the apartment and is able to intervene. In order to catch the suspect, Olivia defies an order from Agent Harris; she allows the programmer's son to be released in order to track him. Broyles puts his friendship with Harris on the line to defend her. The episode was co-written by co-executive producer David H. Goodman and co-producer Brad Caleb Kane; it was Goodman's fourth of six episodes he wrote for the series, and Kane's second of three. It was directed by John Polson, his only directing credit for the series. To achieve the effect of the arm reaching through the computer monitor, an actor wore a green screen sleeve on his arm and reached through the computer monitor which had also been fitted with a green background. In post-production, visual effects supervisor Jay Worth replaced the green portions with a computer generated animated arm that interacted with the character on-screen. One crew member commented that rather than use all special effects, they wanted to "get the articulation of an actual arm. We get the physicality which is pretty hard to fake of a hand striking somebody, so that helps us sell that contact." "The No-Brainer" was first broadcast on the Fox network in the United States on January 27, 2009.
