Welp, in the book, the virus didnt kill you, it forced your brain to reboot to its “base language” and you could be controlled.  I was disapointed with this episode.  with my knowledge of computers, i can assure you that hard drive they showed was beyond reading 1 bit off of it.  It would also be imposible to fry a hard drive like that without physicaly holding a torch to it.  There was no connection between finding data on the drive, and finding where a file was routed.  However, the insane doc’s explenation of how a computer could fry a brain did make sense, but only if the brain is found to have certain neural network similarities, wich currently is not known.  I think the writers of Fringe need to do a lot more research on their scripts.  Even the sitcom “Big Bang Theory” checks up on themselves.  The whiteboards in the living room have real equations on them.
