Fringe

[scarlet]

I liked last night's episode a lot (and it did really well in the ratings with House as the lead-in). The Peter/Walter dynamic is the most interesting/fun to me. Lot of secrets there, but I love some of the little jabs Peter takes (like the "friend of yours?" line) and how he's taking his caretaker role more seriously.

I like Olivia. I do think she's a bit cold right now, but considering all she's been through of late, that's kind of understandable. Hopefully, as the season goes on, she'll relax a bit more.

I thought the moment when Peter touched Olivia's hand last night was a little, erm, heavy handed...

Wow I liked this episode too. Any eye stuff has me peeking through my fingers. Eww! Also, from conception to death in 4 hours? No wonder the nurses and doctors were screaming I mean how big was that baby when they did the cesarean?

I am so happy that Joshua Jackson is on a good TV series that might stick around for a while. I missed seeing him on TV and I'm glad he has work.

Now, I didn't watch that much X-Files, but wasn't there one guy that could print out images that he had in his head? Like some sort of precog?

[x-files geek]Yup. He didn't know he could do it though, his thoughts got imprinted on film and when it got developed one could see what was going on in his head. Of course he was a psycho so it wasn't pretty. The episode is from the 4th season and is called Unruhe. [/x-files geek] They used some very similar imagery for the photo process in Fringe, with the distortions and weird colors.

What weirded me out about last was wondering how aware, if at all, the old man baby was. Having some kind of consciousness being in a situation like that would be really freaking scary.

The eye imprint stuff didn't work for me, but other than that, I like how all the relationships are shaping up. Really liked the scene of Walter and Astrid snacking while chaos erupted in the warehouse. "Walter, it's Peter on the phone..."

Yeah, me too. But I'm certainly curious about this "medical history" that Walter mentioned to Olivia in regards to Peter.

Really liked the scene of Walter and Astrid snacking while chaos erupted in the warehouse.

Best scene! "Do you have cocaine?" I loved how Peter was so genuinely thrilled and happy when he got that woman's heart beating again. The cuteness made up for yet more women getting tortured on primetime TV, which I am really frakking sick of.

Loved the "Row row row your boat" ending too! Josh Jackson is really growing on me.

Joshua Jackson is gorgeous. I never watched Dawson's Creek, so this is my first real exposure. He is crazy sexy on this show too - very funny.

As much as I love Charlie Pacey Joshua Jackson, nothing will be able to top his shirtless/pantless scene last night, so I feel confident in bowing out of this show, now. haha. It's really ridiculous. Plus, I added four minutes on to the end of the recording and it STILL cut off before the damned show was over. I hate you, FOX.

I think Fringe may be my favorite show out of the new ones. The intricacies and details of the science goes straight over my head, but the show really sucks me in every week. The Crazy Dad with his nonexistent morality chip makes me laugh ("Do I have to keep him alive?" and I like the interactions between the various lesser characters, as well as the originality of the plot lines each week.

I can sense though that I'm soon going to become tired of the puzzle with the woman who is 2nd in command of the Bill Gates-type company, and the FBI's Boyles. I hope they don't drag that out forever as JJ Abrams did with his Lost mysteries, but since it *is* a JJ Abrams' show, I suspect I'm going to be disappointed.

That made me chuckle too! And the "important" blueberry pancakes.

That was a really cool episode - I am so loving this show. Still hating the opening credits and the big distracting letters for various locations, but everything else is awesome.

I hope they get to explore this "pattern" thingie a little further before FOX pulls the plug. What is Creepy Lady trying to get out of John - is he really dead or what? And what's the deal with Dunham's boss and his "plans" for her? Scary stuff, I'm sure.
