I am interuppting this Natter to ask a Fringe question, as I don't know where we talk about it, and I am just in the middle of the Pilot on Hulu...

What does Joshua Jackson's father talk in a British accent?

Because books.

Because he's really Denethor?

They don't explain that, Sophia. I handwave it by taking into account how batshit crazy Walter is.

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

Maybe he's a Brit.

Hmm. I am still confused-- but I will be handwaving, I guess.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

His accent didn't catch my attention. Does is sound like any particular sort of British?

Actually, he sounds a lot like the woman in he English Department where I work who we all thought was British, but it turned out she was from Buffalo and just really affected!

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

Why does it require handwaving for him to be British?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just realized I'm annoyed with my vet. He was in two weeks ago and they sent away for a shitload of blood tests, and I haven't heard anything back, so I called today, and no call back! I'm assuming that means no problem, but still. Just freaking call!

I would wonder less in real life-- it just seems like on tee vee the accents usually mean something important, so they would mention it.

I bought a buttercup squash when I meant to buy a butternut squash. Whoops.
