Fringe went to Baghdad this season, to meet Mysterious Scarred Man.
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

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.

FF: I initially thought the CIA guy's testimony, that the Chinese were behind the blackout, was being strictly played for laughs. But, given that all the hitmen at the end seemed to be Chinese, I'm wondering if that angle is going to be pursued more. My current theory is that the CIA, or some other goverment people (maybe even President Coyote who made that phone call after the FBI guy blackmailed him) sent the hitmen partly as a way of advancing the CIA theory.

Art Crawl!!!
Jon, my thoughts exactly!
Did the people Noh and Benford investigating at the beginning of the series have something to do with Chinese gangs?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The FBI is federal. Also, CSIs don't carry guns and SVU is supposed to investigate sex crimes.

FF: the 'yellowcake' turned out to be a kind of marijuana.
I found SGU watchable again this week. Carlyle really manages to take the drama up a notch and drag the rest along with him.

“Not dead yet!”
I loved the look on Noh's face during the gunfight.
THUD
It was seriously hardcore.
And I'm definitely curious as to what particular favor President Coyote called in after the Chief's visit.
Also with ita on wishing they hadn't shown us that Coyote was president in the previews. The drama in the reveal would have been so much better.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I assumed he made Senator Bitchy the VP in exchange for her approving the funding for Mosaic. Do we think there was more to it than that?

ION, I kind of hate the use of music in this show. They haven't broken out the "Hallelujah" yet, but it's only a matter of time.

It's not un-possible he was responsible for the Chinese gangsters.
