I want to watch it again. Walter was all kinds of heartbreaking in this one.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

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.

Oh, Fringe. I'm gonna want to listen to Yaz all week now.
OMG Yes!!! That kinda killed me, child of the 80s that I am.
And yes, Walter was all sorts of awesome.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, Observers don't breathe well with too much oxygen? Remember the bald feral child they found in season one? Who couldn't breathe when docs tried to give him oxygen? Hello, callback. I hope we get to see some version of that kid.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ooh, I only vaguely remember, but that's very cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
As far as Doctor Who goes, I'm okay with that. Despite his point of view, it isn't all about him. They got to be together for the rest of their lives, and it's sad they lost a friend, but they had each other, and presumably constructed rewarding lives, just somewhen else.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, it's about as happy an ending as could reasonably be hoped for.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I am agreeably non-traumatized.

A bit teary, but not traumatized. I think Moffat did well on that one.

I really hope they retire the Angels, at least for a while. They've totally broken their worldbuilding. The whole moving unseen shit is kerfucked. They were kinda creepy this time (as opposed to the two-parter which didn't really hit me that hard), but whenever I stopped to think, pieces fell apart much faster. Wibbly wobbly only gets you so far.

Really. Like Liberty could really wade though the harbor and the streets of Manhattan with no one looking at her?
