no way there are 24 hours in this thing

Argh, here goes yet another week where I think that it's a shame I haven't posted today, but busy and there's always tomorrow AND THEN IT IS FRIDAY.  Anyway.  Baby steps, y'all.  I'm clearing through open tabs this weekend.

THINGS I HAD THOUGHTS ON WEEKS AGO

As usual we are of one mind. I didn't hate the Doctor Who finale or anything, but it was just so...I don't know, small compared to the last one, which was epic and beautiful and managed to "cheat" the cliffhanger without it being a cheat at all whereas this one felt like a big cheat and also made no sense the more I thought about it. Oh well, I suppose lightning can't always be caught twice or...whatever that saying is. But I...feel a sense of quiet loss for the love I once had for season five.

And as to Fringe, yes! Peter came back and I was like, no, wait, what, already? That's just not fair! I want to know more about why Olivia hasn't been tested and reactivated yet and why NINA FREAKING SHARP has been parenting her! And and and, just everything that's got nothing to do with Peter! And it's unfair of me but I just...this show is so much more interesting when it's not pretending he's anything other than a plot device, but...I fear his return heralds their fifteenth attempt to make him compelling. Blah. I guess we'll see

Yeah, I enjoyed a lot of the finale and this last season generally, but eh. Fairly underwhelmed by all the larger arc stuff, even if I've come around to River Song=Melody Pond. For me, I really think it just feels anti-climactic, which it might not have if the whole thing hadn't built up to the Doctor tricking his own death.

Fringe! My love for these recent eps has been wary since it does feel like they were placeholding until Peter's return. After season 3 though, I'm pretty wary of Fringe doing epic plot things anyway, so it was still nice to explore the things that've changed. In my perfect TV world there would have been more cooperating between universes + Rachel and Ella, but still. Nice.

Also is it wrong that in the three scenes or whatever they've had together, I ship Olivia and OurLincoln more than I have ever in my entire life shipped Olivia and Peter?Well I still manage to ship AltLincoln and Ourlivia past the name confusion, so no

WHY DO THEY TEASE US? But Fringe does love its flashbacks so MAYBE THERE WILL BE MORE. Because I'll be sad if there isn't is a totally compelling reason, Fringe creators!
