Defying Gravity, the creator is interviewed about where the series would have gone in the future:
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

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.

I just rewatched “The Horror of Fang Rock”, a Doctor Who serial from 1977. It’s nice to be reminded how awesome Leela was.

I so wish Leela could have met Sarah Jane. Leela even got to go to Gallifrey, and Sarah Jane didn't.

For Fringe fans, you should immediately go to the Fringe page on Fox on Demand and watch the Deep in the Lab clips. Walter, musing on random things as he putters around the lab.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Defying Gravity: It's good to have long term plans for your show, but I also think in this day and age of ephemery it's practical to have a good 13 episode mini arc. Doesn't sound like they were remotely going there. Everything sounded like the payoff was in the long haul. I think the show needed more quick wins--I got nothing against a long arc, but there have to be shorter, quicker beats in the story too.

Walter is very much the saving grace of Fringe. "Science should be fun!"

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I have one thing that has been bothering me about Fringe. It's Astrid. I love her and her raport with Walter, but wasn't she introduced as Olivia's assistant? She seems to have no problem with all the medical, scientific stuff. Where the hell did she get her mad skillz?

I think that they picked her to work with Walter because of her science background.

Yes, I remember something being said about her science degree(s). That said, I wish she'd get to go on investigations once in a while, and carry a gun, et cetera, because she certainly has the capability to do it.
