Tevee Report: Fringe and Babylon 5

Feb 06, 2010 18:43

You know, if I remembered to post when I actually have thoughts, this wouldn't be so damn long. It's hard enough just to keep this to Fringe and B5.

1. I'm a little sad I don't have anything to say about BSG these days. Which is my own fault.

( Leverage )

my new babylon 5 tag, fringe, leverage

Leverage! I miss Sophie. :( COME BACK SOPHIE! Has it been renewed for a S3 yet to you know ( ... )

Leverage has been picked up for a third season, last I'd heard. And Tara will be going away soon enough. (shooow, why can't you let me have Sophie, Tara, Parker and Maggie all at once? siiigh)

Why the universe doesn't align to make this happen, I have no idea.

\o/!!

I don't think that Maggie would work well as a regular but I do like it when she shows up and yes, I would totally love to see Tara and Sophie in the show at the same time. I mean, if I had to choose, I'd choose Sophie, but WHY THE CHOICE, SHOW? WHY? Dumb show, making their replacement cast member so much fun... :(

As Lyssie pointed out we do indeed get a season 3 of Leverage *parties HARD because, OMG, dude, so much love* And this is maybe why I'm completely zen about Tara, apart from loving her lots, because of course Sophie will return and it will be MAGICAL and make season 3 the bestest thing since everything else. :D?

Slightly tangential, but I'm sort of hoping this will be the show that sneakily eats fandom. It's practically tailored made for it and no show's perfect, but the fail is less with this one. And think of the VIDS. :)

I'm so happy there are like 4.5 people watching Fringe who are a bit 'meh' about Peter/Olivia! And I'm a little more charmed by Peter in a reluctant sort of way, but even with season 2 giving him more potential story, they haven't actually developed anything new that develops him or makes him more interesting as a character. There was a whole episode about dad angst and it STILL didn't tell me anything I hadn't already found out before ( ... )

Yes, indeed! Since I knew Sophie would be coming back I wasn't exactly anxious about it and Tara is a fun replacement, but I still miss her ( ... )

No, I don't think I'd call Leverage my forever show either, but it's got a lot going for it that I wish some of the apparently more mainstream fandoms did. (remind me to link you some interviews of Dean Devlin talking about fans and fanworks). And is it wrong that the first thing I thought of when you mentioned a Sophie vid was "That's Not My Name" by The Ting Tings, which would possibly work even better for Parker (or, um, a John Connor crack vid, but that's an entirely different story. o_O,probably Cameron after checking out the lyrics, actually)

it was just as random as when they tried it at S1, but worse, because it was more often and therefore more forced. And I think you've got the key thing there because they choose a kind of relevant that made him inherently more interesting to the mytharc, while not requiring him to DO anything, because he doesn't know. So Walter still gets any of the action from it and Peter gets more story time that isn't really earned or important yet ( ... )
