FRINGEY TIME!

"Hey Joe, get in here; somebody cut this guy's heart out!"

*guy wakes up, asks for help*

*gaping hole in chest where heart should be*

Umm, what?

 

[CajoleJuice]

Shit, forgot there was a new ep tonight.

 

[KibblesBits]

Olivia tells Broyles about his alternate. I wonder if she'll inform everyone else how they were...

 

[HeySeuss]

Damn he put that together pretty fast.

 

[Zoe]

Everything's not fine

 

[heliosRAzi]

You can just hear that she is hurt while she is saying all of that

 

[HeySeuss]

Here comes several episodes of awkwardness.

 

[KibblesBits]

Reharvesting organs that were donated.

 

[Solo]

Man, that was rough. Poor Olivia
She was obviously devastated but in classic Olivia fashion, rationalized away Peter's actions.

 

[KibblesBits]

Ugh, she didn't even finish the laundry before she went back to her universe. How annoying.

 

[Solo]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Dat eyeless head

 

[HeySeuss]

My what pretty eyes you have...

Did Walter screw up Astrid's name twice in that scene between them? I coulda sworn he first called her Astor, then when she left he referred to her as Astral :lol

He's only gotten her name right once, and it was so shocking that she actually told him he got it right.

 

[KibblesBits]

Expensive product placement phone. Nice.
WTF, he knows what concrete and cherrywood tastes like.

 

[Jay Shadow]

Most epic product placement this side of Chuck Subway sandwiches.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Wow, that is... so f*cked up. Puppetry gone horribly wrong.

 

[Zoe]

Ooooookay, that's just a tad but freaky.

 

[mre]

Holy what the fuck... that is truly bizarre...

 

[Solo]

Well that was creepy as fuck. For a show that routinely delves into the creepiness, that might have been the farthest step yet.

 

[Ducarmel]

this dude is the ultimate creeper

 

[chimster]

Well that was creepy as fuck

ditto, how am I going to sleep tonight

 

[HeySeuss]

This is quite possibly the creepiest scene of this show I've ever seen. I like it.

He must be a Miyamoto fanboy. He took his idea of a marionette game to extremes.

 

[Jay Shadow]

Well, at least that guy erased the image of the eyeless guy from my brain...

 

[KibblesBits]

Nice.

 

[Solo]

Re-animation has been in the opening titles for a while. Nice to see them tackle it!

 

[KibblesBits]

Oh, not nice.

 

[Ducarmel]

so she is a zombie no brain whatsoever

 

[Yaweee]

Is that the house they used for The Dead Zone's exterior?

 

[Zoe]

 

[The Elite]

Fringe continues its hot streak. Really, this is the best show on TV for me right now. Fantastic stuff! Love how they are handling the Peter/Olivia story.

 

[heliosRAzi]

=( Poor Olivia.

 

[mre]

Gah, what happened? My cable cut out with 10 minutes to go? Last thing I saw she had her eyes open but was looking around like a caged animal.

 

[HeySeuss]

I'm not sure who I feel more sorry for. Both of them are hurt badly. Great execution.

And observers/first people ftw!

For a sci-fi show that is steeped in fantasy, her reaction felt real. Anna Torv did a tremendous job this week.

 

[Solo]

Another winner for me! Far from the best of the season and definitely a come-down from last week, but that was completely expected. I thought the MOTW was a pretty neat take on Dr. Frankenstein and the parellels drawn between the case and Olivia's journey were quite nice. I thought Anna Torv was wonderful in this again. 9/9 this season.

Also, I must say that I really loved the shot near the end with Peter sitting alone outside with two empty chairs in the frame.

 

[HeySeuss]

Gah, what happened? My cable cut out with 10 minutes to go? Last thing I saw she had her eyes open but was looking around like a caged animal.

She wasn't herself and attacked him and bit his throat out.

Nah, she lived for about 5 minutes and died in a chair. Kind of anti-climatic actually.

 

[Guardian Bob]

Fridays. Is that bad?

Good episode. Finally, we have some emotion about what's been happening. I can really feel for Olivia, and she totally has a right to ask "why didn't you know it wasn't me?"

 

[Solo]

Fridays. Is that bad?

Long term? Yes. Short term? Won't effect anything for the remainder of S3.

I don't think it is as bad as we think. FOX knows this show has a sustainable, albeit low, audience and I think Friday night might be the best night for it on their lineup. I'm confident it will stick around until the end of next season at least.

 

[Jay Shadow]

Fridays. Is that bad?

Well, Fox's logic is that 45% of their audience DVRs it so it really doesn't matter what day it's on. Get used to more Sprint product placement.

On the bright side, they're the only show that I watch that actually bothered to have a promo telling me exactly when it's coming back next year, so they're at least putting some effort into it.

Hah, thanks. What happened with Olivia at the end?

 

[Zoe]

Hah, thanks. What happened with Olivia at the end?

The guy was instantly able to tell it wasn't the girl. Peter couldn't do the same.

 

[heliosRAzi]

Hah, thanks. What happened with Olivia at the end?

She freaked out because some lady from another universe lived in her apartment, wore her clothes, and took her boyfriend.

 

[The Elite]

Long term? Yes. Short term? Won't effect anything for the remainder of S3.

At a certain point FOX has got to start asking themselves "How many times can we switch up the shows on Friday thinking we are going to get a winner?" Truth is, if everything fails on Friday night, you might as well stick with something for a while. I just hope they have the good sense to come to the realization that they should stick FRINGE for the foreseeable future.

 

[Solo]

Hah, thanks. What happened with Olivia at the end?

She was upset over something Dr. Frankenstein said which paralleled her situation ("I looked into her eyes and I knew it wasn't her") and she finally cracked and told Peter basically that she couldn't handle it, and was quite sad that he wasn't able to tell he wasn't with Olivia. Anna Torv sold the shit out of it.

 

[DarthWoo]

Wait, does Broyles usually call himself Colonel Broyles on the phone like that? I know he asked a politician during some testimony to call him that in the first season, but that he's technically retired from the military. Just sort of threw me off a bit, but I might not have been paying attention.

 

[BlueTsunami]

I love the way they're handling the Olivia Peter situation. They could have just wrapped it up but its more interesting seeing them trying to work this out.

Also the preview for the return after the break is just nuts

The episode in general was definitely very good for a MOTW. The premise isn't new but it was done with style and the whole dead ballerina scene was disturbing as hell.
