Sep 28, 2011 19:51

Ack, the problem with watching ALL THE THINGS is now there are too many awesome things to talk about.

But this was nibbling at me most, so...FRINGE YES LET'S TALK ABOUT FRINGE CAN WE HUH CAN WE?? :D

( some comments on Fringe 4.01, with visual meta on the use of color and my wacky theories about what it means )

My response to this episode has pretty much been "LEE LEE LEE OMG LEEEEEEE" so I commend your thoughtful meta! XD Very pretty pictures too.

LEEEEE! :D I LOVE ALL THE LEES WE HAVE EVER HAD.

Sometimes I think I've got a handle on what's going on here -- and then I give up and go ooooh, pretty colors! *g*

*covers eyes* I can't look because I haven't seen the ep yet. Do you know of any link that would *ahem* change that? :O)

I don't, sorry. There must be a Fringe comm for that somewhere tho...

I have finally be able to watch the episode! Pretty picspam is pretty. &hearts
It did feel like a pilot, not only because Lincoln was new to everything Fringe related, but also because things weren't quite what we were used to. But with Fringe you're never on solid footage! Walter just breaks my heart. :(

I like having more of the other version of Lincoln, I hope we get to keep him - it's funny that his character is the only one (I think) that we knew from Over There before Over Here.

I have converted a friend to Fringe! I told him about it about a month ago, and yesterday I had him on the phone and he said that he'd watched until mid-season 3. :D

It was interesting why and how they used Lincoln. Now I get why they moved him to a regular on the show -- in addition to him being talented and adorable, I mean. But they needed an audience pov character and someone who wasn't a regular lab team person, an outsider who was also familiar to audiences.

Walter is heartbreaking. Watch 4.02!

Yay, another one hooked. :D

I LOVE this. I love the way you've presented the pics also. (I am So going to try this. I hope it's just a matter of putting the URL into the box.)

Great observations. I do enjoy Fringe. :D

Yay, I'm really glad you liked the picspam.

It's a show that's very pleasurable to picspam, with its visual style and it goes for the over color saturation. As does H50 I've noticed and now I'm wondering is that a filter? Something they do in post-production? Do they enhance and control color the way we do on screen cap editing? From SPN fandom I learned to watch for color and not every show does a color theme thing, and then some it really seems purposeful and symbolic.

They absolutely mess around with the colour post production. It always amazing me how different footage looks that hasn't been through post production messing around. Sometimes you can see it on the gag reel footage, or deleted scenes. Footage never looks as nice.

Though, the colour ideas have to be there to start with. SPN purposefully places light and objects in their shots. Looks like they do the same with Fringe. I just love that kind of pre-thought.
