I'm watching, Torque. Only caught the 2nd half tonight because I was caught up in inaugural stuff.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.
Willow ,'First Date'
Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

Bad Wolf
I'm just wondering if anyone played "Where's Waldo" with the observer tonight and won.
I lost.

Tonight's Fringe was pretty good, minus the recap dialogue plaguing the first fifteen or so minutes.
Love the twist that the seeming one of many bad guys may be working on the side of good. I believed him, at least. Took me awhile to remember who the heck he was (took until seeing the wife).

Ditto on the wife thing.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Best part for me: Olivia. I've never said that about "Fringe" before. Which is sad, as she's the star, but really, she's upstaged regularly by Walter and Not!Pacey.
But here, she was firing on all cylinders. She freed herself from her abductors before anyone else could do something to save her, figured out who her abductor was, she lived through the suburban housewife's shoddy assassination and was great at the end with the FBI agent/double agent/wait, maybe he was a good guy after all.
Sometimes, she gets a bit lost in the movement of the show. Good to see her take center stage, and show us why the character gets such high regard.
...
But for the love of Zeus, don't saddle her with an adorable tyke. It would be wrong.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Me too. Although "good" may be relative. His "Don't you know the RULES?" reminded me of the Charles Widmore/Benjamin Linus pissing match on Lost.
I agree with victor that Olivia was great this episode for all those reasons.
Putting decongestant on a giant cold virus makes NO SENSE AT ALL, though.

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

It doesn't seem like a genius thing to do, but it's certainly a crazy person thing to do. And he is both.

True that. I can give it a pass since it was played more as a nutty thing than something that actually worked.

I still want to know what happened to the caterpillar on LSD!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
so, how can he be a good guy if he asked his wife to kill her?
I don't get that at all.
