That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I felt like I was supposed to get something philosophically from this episode that just did not work for me. Rory doesn't have faith in anything? Amy's faith in the Doctor can be done away with just like that?

For me, I kind of interpreted it as the faith that the minotaur needed was not the normal faith that we have in the people we love - but the larger faith that some people build their whole view of the world on.

Yeah, I guess that's what they were going for, but I'm not sure anybody sold it especially well, or explained it very well. I agree with JenP that it was an emotionally odd episode. As has often happened these past couple of seasons, the emotional stuff just didn't quite convince me.

I love that video, and I'm so excited for Fringe to start again. I just re-watched season 1 and 2 this past week.

Who, Me?

I think that the people chosen to feed the Minotaur probably had exceptionally strong faith in whatever it was they had faith in. So it wouldn't be so much that Rory had no faith in anything, he just didn't have it on par with Amy's faith in the Doctor. Likewise, the doctor did need to utterly destroy Amy's faith in him, he just needed to shake it a bit.

Well, now, THAT was an opening, Eureka.

Also, I think Jo is thinking about leaving Eureka.

Oh, it's that guy! Dave. Dave? From News Radio, right? ETA: Foley.
