Lexxi must GO AWAY.
Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder if she's here to make us not mind Zane so much. Damn.

As long as they keep Zane away from Jo, I think I can bear him, even like him.
But Lexxi? no matter who she's with she's annoying. And I'm sorry, but how does everyone at GD know and love her? And why? I can't buy that without having witnessed her being winsome and charming and just plain likeable.
So glad that Carter did give her a bit of a smackdown.

I REALLY would love to find out she somehow got into some kind of pheromone thing or something. Because that was by far the most annoying thing about this episode. It was like they were doing product placement for her character. Feh.

Does anyone have any advance info on the new "Sanctuary" series that Sci-Fi has been advertising? Is it worth watching?

Talk about "show, don't tell". FAIL.
I did like Allison freaking out over losing Carter as well as his keeping his response light.
And loved that Henry, Jack and Allison were all made privy to the fact that Eva is investigation this installation, and yet the mystery is still there. That was a mighty chilling "No" at the end there.
I *was* disappointed that more wasn't done with Zane and the kids being trapped. Nothing illuminating or interesting or just silly, or hey, maybe a little more dire (how about beginning stages of asphyxiation?)

You know, whenever there is one of these phase machines, I always want to know -- how do you keep from sinking through the floor?

Same way Spike could sit on furniture as a ghost. The magic of TeeVee and massive application of handwavium.

It's well known that gravity has a weak effect on phase shifting! Sheesh!
If Vincent is an incurable gossip, surely every eligible male in town has heard about Lexxi's Dr. Who, so the flocking behavior is even more inexplicable.

I wonder how many times "they exchange meaningful/significant looks" was in the script for Fringe. I mean, yes, it was nice to not have people expositing, and I appreciate that they trust the actors to convey emotions, and trust the audience to Get It. But you don't need to do that in every freaking scene. Watching people stare at each other meaningfully all the time was giving me Carnivale flashbacks.
I kinda felt the same way about the direction. It certainly is a pretty show. But again: yes, TV tends to have a lot of medium shots, so I can understand wanting to break from that and having more wide shots & close-ups. But seriously, two-shots are useful sometimes. And it should not be hard to follow what's happening in a car chase.
To end on a positive note: I am very excited that Joshua Jackson is getting crow's feet, because I firmly believe he is transforming into George Clooney.
