Fringe: Jacksonville

[mariness]

Can I just say I heartily approve of any person whose first response to an upcoming earthquake and major dimensional shift is to protect his coffee?

I shall be silent about the insane stupidity of the non-science of the week. Well. No, I won't. If the parallel universes need to balance out with equal masses, which, er, but moving on, wouldn't that mass ALSO INCLUDE the things in the building, like, not at random, people, and their luggage, which means that all of those people running out of the building carrying things would change the mass of the building and make the parallel universe just munch on another building? BUT WHATEVER. This was actually considerably above the virus and bacteria stuff this show has been subjecting me to recently so I shall shut up. For now. I shall also be sort of silent about the way this show managed to up the grossness factor without the use of blood and guts, but still. Ugh.

Otherwise, I have to say that this was my favorite Fringe episode so far, and I say that as someone who was not particularly eager to have any sort of relationship between Olivia and Peter develop. But, to counter this, I LOVED that she dropped him and went off to save the world. YAY OLIVIA and your priorities. Drinks can wait. That was great. And the "it's just drinks" stuff later was also good. I now like these two. Which of course means they are heading for Deep Terrible Tragedy.

And the "Don't tell him, please." Walter. Olivia, not very good with the lying. I am warning you.
