First official rejection of the 2010-11 job season today. Not a surprise--the job was a long shot at best--and really, it's hard to take it personally when you're informed that there were over 350 applicants (of whom I'd bet fully 300 were well-qualified for the job, and at least 100 would have been quite excellent, if hired). Anyway, thinking more

I feel like Becka's comment below about the ship explained the puzzling I was continuing to have about people's Fringe reactions. Or rather, about why your reaction continues to be a bit ambivalent when everyone else on my flist seems to be loving it. (*squishes you*) Because I was getting all of this "OMG, it's AWESOME," but I knew that you were not so completely gung-ho, and, well, you and I tend to have similar tastes in these things.

I suspect my tolerance for the standalone eps will entirely depend on how much I like the characters, just generally. I tend to have a much higher tolerance for that kind of thing than you do when I like the characters. If it turns out, though, that I only care about Olivia or something, then I might have to start skipping stuff.

And considering that the guy from Dawson's Creek just sort of creeps me out a little bit, I don't know that I have particularly high hopes for shipping tendencies, but who knows! I do have a higher threshold for shipping, just generally, than you do. Either way, I probably will decide to check the show out.
