'Beneath You'
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.
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.
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.

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.

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!
so, how can he be a good guy if he asked his wife to kill her?
I don't get that at all.
Haven't caught up with Fringe yet - watched MSNBC all night for the bits where the Obamas would pop in - dance and then leave.
But - did you see the post where someone suggests that the Kara who came back is a "head" Kara that everyone sees? I was going to protest that she has too much agency but then I remembered the episode (first half season 4 - can't remember which one) where Head!Six lifts up Baltar to get him to stand up to a guard that's beating his little cult and you see him standing with no one behind him but looking like he's being held up.
In that case, is her viper also a mass hallucination?
