Stargate Universe and Fringe

To answer a few questions sent in by email, the reason you haven't been getting any snarky comments from me on Stargate as it careens to its conclusion tonight is that the Syfy channel in its infinite wisdom has decided not to put up episodes of an already cancelled show/franchise on its site or Hulu until a month after initial broadcast, and while I in my little wisdom have decided that Game of Thrones is absolutely worth a trip to a nearby apartment especially because pizza is included, Stargate: Universe is most definitely not. If more recent episodes do pop up on Hulu after tonight, or if I allow myself to get Neflix in June/July (I'm saving it as a reward) then I might try to finish out the season, since I've invested this much time and am vaguely interested in how the show will fail to wrap itself up. Otherwise, eh.

Which – after a small digression to note that yes, I'm planning to write something up about that enjoyable popcorn flick, Thor – brings us to Fringe, which greatly cheered me up by providing an entire finale episode WITHOUT THE COW, and then proceeded to ruin that moment by further polluting an entirely innocent river. Oh, show. Sniffle. ( Cut for slightly more specific spoilers about the ending and other non-cow talk, and spoilers for Buffy: Season 5 )
