Fringe, look at your life. Look at your choices. God's sake, who thought this was a good idea?OK, that did not at all play out the way I thought it was going to. I thought Fauxlivia would realize she's pregnant and then we've have an episode or two of her trying to hide it (have your standard shots of her puking into a toilet and people asking her if she's all right and her saying everything is fine and blah blah), and then something would happen where she'd need to get a blood test or somesuch(like the bug infection, actually, or Walternate would want to test her again), and then it would be revealed

= I do not understand why profession writers somehow turn into 15-year-olds writing fanfic when it comes to love triangles and romance. I don't get it. Maybe female writers just tend to get this urge to write romantic melodrama out of their systems at a younger age and are duely embarrassed about it when we get older? I want to understand this pattern because it needs to stop happening on shows I love.
= I'm pretty sure Fauxlivia was on Our Side for two months. Not sure where I'm getting that number, but I think someone mentioned it either on the show or in an interview. And I think the two sides experience time differently? (Lost flashbacks! We need to hit up Faraday to figure this timeline out, I think.) In short: no idea.
= It's so odd to me that people make Walter into a woobie since one of the things the show has consistently done well is not excusing Walter for his sins. Like Lance Reddick said in an interview, Walternate is frightening because he is Walter with all his faculties. I mean, I understand that Walter's lovable -

Dude, I know. I can't stop thinking about that scene in the ambulance, and then in the hospital. (And not in a good way.) I felt like I was watching a soap opera. I kept waiting for overly dramatic music to rise and then Frank to look desperately into the camera and say, "No. No puede ser verdad. Or something. It was ridiculous, and not a good-ridiculous.
This is also why I'd like to be a writer on a TV show - a good TV show. I want to stop this nonsense from happening. I think you and I could team up and wrestle Fringe back from the brink!
Though maybe American TV is where good writers go to die? You start out with the best of intentions and slowly, but surely, you succumb to the idiocy all around you until you yourself begin to believe that yes, cliches are fabulous and love-triangles really *are* the way to go. No one is safe.
*Speaking of shout-outs, this episode was all over Twin

That would be delightful. Or at least smack their knuckles with rulers when they start going down roads like this. NO ONE LIKES LOVE TRIANGLES. They are cheap and obnoxious and wreck good characters.
= I feel awful for Josh Jackson because you know he wishes people would ask him about anything else but the love triangle. He already finished Dawson's Creek! Let the poor man be a conman with an insane mad scientist father! That's all he wants!
And damn is he intelligent - throwing out references to Rube Goldberg machines and whatnot.Hahah, yeah. That said, I don’t quite agree with him; if Sam is any indication of what the First People were like, a Rube Goldberg machine seems right up their alley. But, at this point, I mainly want Peter and Sam to meet so we can get a better explanation of how that thing works. I refuse to believe that any civilization in the history of any world built a machine that creates and/or destroys universes because of who a dude wants to bone.
