Yeah, I've seen an ad with Jeff Goldblum!

Is this the place for Fringe? I'm curious what others say about it, and am cross posting this here, since I just went off about Fringe in the Heroes thread.

Oh Walter. The dotty and petulant father side is kind of endearing. I like the way the Joshua Jackson character interacts with him (having never seen JJ or 90210 before, he's a pleasant surprise as an actor) but the grotty lab in the basement irritates me, as well as half their procedures. Yes! let's take irradiated people who have to be removed from a building in hazmat suits, then put them on a slab in the basement and examine them without even safety glasses! It's annoying, although I get over being annoyed quickly as they zip along with the rest of their improbable story lines. The cow has got to go at some point. For starters, it's bad for a cow to be standing around on concrete all day. Well, I assume that because it's true for horses. And as someone who mucked out a horse stall for many years of her life, and lived not far from a dairy farm, that cows makes a lot more of a mess than horses, and requires more care than a few shanks of hay on the floor every now and then. They could use that as a reason to move the cow away: it has to go to a dirt-floor over gravel (for drainage) shed and corral. It has to get some exercise and fresh air, right?

I'm enjoying the main character quite a bit. The actress has a really interesting face. Anna Torv. [link] I tried to analyze what makes her face watch-worthy, and I think a big part of it is that her faces *moves.* It's rather horrifying to realize that I've gotten so used to botox'd actors, or young actors who work really hard on not creating wrinkles, that a face with actual mobility is fascinating. She furrows her brow for starters. Go furrowed brow! (Sarah Shahi from Life shares the ability to wrinkle her brow.) Also, those creases that run from the nose to around the mouth? whatever they're called? hers are not symmetrical. The one on her left/stage right is a bit higher than the other one. Also, she reminds me of Liv Ullmann, and who doesn't love Liv Ullmann? [link]

edited to remove the part I didn't research and was wrong about.

Fringe is sci fi, so it's been discussed in Boxed Set.

New Bones:

Gosh, could the foreshadowing have a brighter light behind it? I'm wishing for a fast forward button.

We were having a thunderstorm during Bones, and the cable signal kept hanging up, so I missed key dialogue. But now I can't remember what I was going to ask about.

Oh, and I want Hogins and Angela back together.

Re Bones: the reveal about Angela's bisexuality was actually less painful than I'd imagined, given how her character has played thus far this season.

Also - loved the reveal about Sweets and the latest failed Zack replacement. The ass grab was a nice touch (so to speak).

given how her character has played thus far this season.

Yeah, way back in the first season, when the hot delivery girl hit on Angela, Angela seemed open to the idea. That's what I like about this show, very few things come out of left field. And villains are rarely completely villainous. Kabuki Woman's line of "So would I" was such a lovely, simple way of adding that third dimension to a character.

I can't believe that no one mentioned the Erik Estrada cameo on Life! Hilarious!

Hee.

My tivo had to cut-off the very end of Bones - ummm, Sweets and the Zack replacement had finished kissing and were walking away when it stopped. Did I miss anything?

A little convo between Booth and Bones about whether it would last. Bones said they have nothing in common and it can't last. Booth said you didn't need to have anything in common. Lingering look from Booth to Bones.
