He's got a very impressive stage career.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

“Not dead yet!”
Whereas I'm always distracted by how bad Brian F. O'Byrne's American accent is. Couldn't they just have let him be Irish?
Yep. Me too. The Irish sneaks out at the beginning of any speech he makes before settling down into indeterminate blue collar. I think it would have made him more interesting if he had been Irish and been a U.S. Military vet as well. Would have made the loss of his daughter in some ways that much more poignant to me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Is "Sanctuary" on a really limited budget? That has to be the explanation for showing 2 of the main characters this week.

I finally watched V, since I wasn't getting ABC last week.
I want to know how a guy in a wheelchair managed to be a regular at a church with two flights of steps leading to the door. And why, at the end, he went through the effort of getting the wheelchair up the stairs just to reveal that he didn't need it any more.
It reminded me of Jericho. It's a scary vision of what the world would be like if everyone's IQ was halved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not the first time they did it--they limited it to Will and Magnus before, in the submarine episode when she was going crazy. Not sure if that negates budget concerns, but I thought I'd mention the precedent.
I'm just relieved there was an episode where I didn't have to see Kate, but the idea that Will would have a kid with her is quite icky. Especially since I thought they were going somewhere with her and Henry.

Not to mention their paranoia. When has any group of humans embraced anything new that quickly and uniformly? I don't care how many advance Visitors there were--we just don't work like that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
We would have suicide bombers/military/individuals who are armed through whatever means from several countries trying to take out these visitors. If this were depicting reality.
Thanks for the precedent, you are right. I think I saw that as a budget cutting move too!

Poor Henry. He needs some lovin'. Maybe not with Kate, but still. He'd probably have more screen time if he had a romantic subplot, and I like watching him.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Clearly Christopher Heyerdahl is willing to oblige with his half of such a subplot, so they might as well roll with it.

Peter's didn't get much to do on Fringe this week. But it was a Broyles-centric episode, so I'm willing to take the tradeoff as long as they give him more agency soon. Pacey was made for more than babysitting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The new Prisoner is pretty freaking awesome. Just FYI.
