Fringe
I gotta say: after the sheer silliness, implausibility, bad science and you have got to be kidding me seriously bad science of a first season, in this third season, Fringe has finally become a pretty decent show. (One helpful factor: we are seeing far, far less of that cow.)
1. It has gotta suck being a New York souvenir seller so near the nexuses of two competing alternate universes. Just how many snowglobes did Olivia shatter there?
2. I have to admit, I found myself – ok, not crying, but maybe – maybe - misting up a little when one of the things that convinces RealOlivia that she is, well, RealOlivia is the missing Twin Towers.
3. Is anybody else amused that Olivia's completely imaginary Peter is so much more intelligent and insightful than the real Peter, whose supposed super genius is certainly not making itself known too frequently?
4. And how mean is it for AltOlivia to forget her adorable niece's birthday? BAD AltOlivia, BAD. I was all ok with you sleeping with Peter and all that, but then you had to go and do this.
(On that note, I don't think I discussed the previous episode, but, yes, I completely buy Peter sleeping with AltOlivia even after he's noticed issues with Fake-er, AltOlivia, because, well, let's face it, she's a gorgeous woman that he's been lusting after who is also merrily seducing him, so, yay, and also, see point three above. I will note, show, that if you want to continue with the frequently stated concept that Peter is some sort of super genius, you are going to have to work a bit harder on showing us this.)
5. On the assumption that in season 4 we are going back to a single universe again, let me just say right here and now that I am going to miss Charlie all over again, so, you know, maybe, show, you could think about bringing AltCharlie over to our universe? Just a thought.
6. How awesome and weird and gloriously convenient is it that the identical twin decided to keep the exact same haircut of the amber twin despite trying to convince everyone that yeah, well, I'm not really my identical twin because I hate my identical twin and, yay, steaks!
