Fringe! I think I have to watch twice.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

So, just watched Fringe for the first time. Really enjoyed it. Very X-Files, but a lot more snarky. Was this typical? Obviously, I'm behind on the show (and missing the total significance of what happened with Kirk A's character - I'm guessing this will be like what happened with Sydney's BFF on Alias).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
CHARLIE DOESN'T LIKE COFFEE ICE CREAM.
Very X-Files, but a lot more snarky. Was this typical?
The episode itself was a bit atypical in its structure, obviously, but it's definitely got an XF vibe (notice that the first victim was watching XF?) with some snark, yes.
I assume Jessup is going to be a recurring character. I wonder who gave her the password to get into the Fringe Division files. And what she was doing with those Bible quotes. I was expecting the book to be revealed as the ZFT. (Also, how was she butchering Shakespeare? By not including "Horatio"?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My mind is not blown wrt to Charlie, like they said. My ass is chapped.
Very X-Files, but a lot more snarky.
I wouldn't say it was snarkier, because XF could get pretty snarky, and outside of Walter this isn't the funniest show (well, other than the XF clip, which had me howling). However, Walter is a hoot and a half--it's very concentrated.
Yeah, Charlie is her devoted but not USTy partner, so making him eevol is grr.
I missed Joshua Jackson. God bless Pacey and god bless Peter Bishop. And I missed wacky druggy Walter and patient AsterixAstrid and even mostly stoic Olivia. Let me not speak of missing Charlie, because this will continue.

You know, after I posted that I started remembering just how snarky XF could be. I think it's a case of me blocking out so much of that show because how it ended up tainted everything retroactively for me (certain stand-alones excepted).

Lenora Crichlow is beautiful. Looking forward to s2 - that's a fun show.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

You know, as a guy with big ears, I gotta say...OW!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Eureka: I was totally hoping for the punchline to be "Eat a muffin, whitey."
