Fringe: Still Terrible
So I'm watching Fringe after a pretty shitty evening.
It's still terribly written. It's like after they came back from season 1 hiatus, they had this entire flashback via exposition thing going on. It was poorly executed. Really poorly executed.
This one starts out with the main character is dead. It lasts for like 15 minutes. Each one is excruciating, because there's no advancement of plot, only mourning, and it's like--we know she's not dead. She's the main character. Cut the crap. Start the episode.
Cut to now, 25 minutes in, and they're doing expositional dialogue. For the entire show.
They literally introduced a new character as an excuse to explain the whole show. No joke. A NEWCOMER. THE AUDIENCE'S EYES. And they're explaining shit that never needed an introduction: "We work here in this basement because Walter says he can't work anywhere else." Except it's more poorly written. And delivered with an entire paragraph of exposition. WTFRAK FRINGE.
This is the worst possible way to start the season. How about starting where you left off? INTENSE. BROODING. ALTERNATE UNIVERSE.
That's all. But let me note--the main character's leg is currently broken. I'm assuming magically, next week, it won't be anymore. Because broken legs heal in a week guyz. Right?
I'm just going to keep updating as I watch.
This episode is terribly boring. The head FBI dude is currently in a government hearing. Back in its heyday, Stargate smartly did these episodes HOLY FRAK BROYLES KISSING NINA WE'RE IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE THAT'S THE TWIST I'M CALLING IT NOW.
Anyways, Stargate used to do these filler episodes in the middle. To set up further episodes. NOT AT THE BEGINNING. AND NOT WITH EXPOSITION.
Also, this new character, really frakking annoying. Her voice, her attitude, annoying. This better not be a season regular.
Wow, Peter just got Olivia the most ugly flowers. They look like they came out of a gigantic overgrown field.
CHARLIE NOOOO I KNEW THEY FIRED YOU
