Damn. We'll never know what happens when they run out of beer. I really liked a lot of the characters, particularly Andre Braugher, but I think it would have flown better if it had stuck to the evil president storyline and left out a lot of the island stuff.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Trust me, Matt. All I need to do with those pictures is chase down the highest possible resolution. Which is a pleasant lazy hobby of mine these days, swapping out sizes I used to think was adequate.
Bless google image search, bless them indeed...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Fringe: Okay, Peter is getting seriously creepy. I'm afraid Olivia is going to have to take him down in order to help him.
I also think that in terms of the structure of the season we'll probably only have one more episode of Observer!Peter before we move on to the final act.

Between Peter and Walter in this episode, I'm very worried about a no good very bad ending for the show.

I'm pretty confident that Wyman is a romantic at heart. He just wants to make sure we weep with gratitude when they actually do reach a good place.

Well, at least I won't have to watch Dichen Lachman try to look interested in that Navy SEAL anymore.
Pity: there's some potential there, but they really didn't seem to know what to do with it.

Last Resort: I think this was actually my favorite new show of the season, and I'm sorry to see it go. The cast was great, and I think they would have found their footing storyline wise soon enough.

Haven: Did Nathan sleep with her in the past? Is the implication he's the Colorado Kid's father? I couldn't tell if that was a "fade to black" or just a suggestion-free scene transition.
Fringe: Peter is giving up his humanity, and apparently now his hair, Walter gave up pieces of his brain--are we to consider that Olivia has given up Etta? Her childhood? What is her loss? And when's the last time they mentioned cortexiphan?

This was exactly my thought when Nathan got that arrested look on his face when Audrey mentioned that Sarah had a son.
Interesting.
It was nice to see Chief Warnos again. The entire series, I've been waiting for someone to drag that cooler out from some shed somewhere and reconstitute him.
I loved him on DaVinci's Inquest and Republic of Doyle. His appearances in the latter left me to think he had suffered a stroke of some sort, but I can't find any news to that effect. He looked a little rough in the most recent Haven, but at least he seemed healthy.
