Well, this will be easy to quit this show before it becomes hopelessly mired in seasons-long conspiracy theories. This latest episode completely put me off. Or maybe I just wasn't in the mood to watch some other women-as-prey/victims thing. Why exactly would this person need to kill young attractive women for something that's found in everyone? And why would he need to extract part of their brain while they were conscious for it? That's just sadistic torture right there, made no sense to the plot and so was completely gratuitous for shock value. And the guy said "he should have let me die" at the end (referring to the guy who created him) - um, if you wanted to die so bad, you could have refused to kill anyone. So the whole thing was gratuitous.

Bye, Fringe. Oh, and screw you. I really don't need to see this kind of shit.



On to lighter things...

Kenley? You really need to shut up now. But looks like she might be in trouble next week. Anyway, I don't have a whole lot to say other than I agree with kicking off Joe - it was a business suit from the 90s. And a really frumpy looking one at that. He obviously got stuck in thinking that if you're going for an interview, you need a suit. I also agree that Jerell should have won. I want to wear that outfit.



On to wackier things...

For some strange reason I dreamed I got my hands on a new DW episode - one where Ten, Rose and Donna were all traveling together. They got to a planet and Rose got infected with something that made her mute. And turned her hair black, turning her into a emo kid. Something like that. The Doctor was completely useless since he didn't really care about Rose when she was all emo and strange. Donna was at least concerned, looking out for Rose as she proceeded to dust the grand piano in the TARDIS. (She really liked doing that.)

Whatever it was finally wore off, Rose got her voice back and her hair turned blonde again. The Doctor was happy to hug her again after that. And Donna declared that she would be happy to put the Doctor and Rose's five kids to bed, which she did, not that she had to do anything since they were perfect little angels. You know, like kids are.

I then debated whether or not to post about the episode on LJ since I really didn't like it much, but decided that [livejournal.com profile] shinyopals would really want to know that they finally were going with the Doctor, Rose and Donna on the show. My first remark was to wonder how Rose could still look 22 and have 5 kids of varying ages. And then I woke up.

Totally agree on Fringe. Buh-bye. Not only for the reasons you state, but also that it's derivative of not one but two X-Files episodes (and perhaps more if I were to really put my thinking cap on), and for some reason that I spent a long time in the shower trying to figure out, the bullshit science in Fringe really irked me. Now, as an X-Phile andWhovian, BS science should not bother me. Yet in Fringe it really really did.

Um, easier to lure away? I guess he could seduce young attractive men...
And why would he need to extract part of their brain while they were conscious for it
Huh, no excuse for this one... and why am I trying to defend this badly done hi-tech rip-off of the X-files?? I'll give it one more episode in honor of my old crush on Joshua Jackson, but if that's as crappy as this one, bye bye Fringe.

FOR SERIOUS. Also, I don't understand someone who is all "I NEVER listen to Tim. Why the hell would I do THAT?" O_o

I kind of really want to see your dream as an episode. I'm sure it would be REALLY funny. :)

♥!

I think I could go either way on Fringe, I liked the first episode, but the second episode wasn't my cup of tea (though I did love the ending when what's his name sang "Row, row, row your boat")

That's an interesting dream.

The problem with DW dreams is that they don't always go quite the way you want them to. I think I actually had one where I (as Rose) snogged Jack when Ten wasn't looking. (Then I found Ten again, but still, it wasn't very nice of me, even if Jack had just saved my life.)

But LOL at emo!Rose.

BWAHAHAHA.

My reaction when I read this was something like: "Well it's fairly obvious that Rose has been affected by the Bad Wolf and is going to live for the same length of time as the D- HANG ON... did she just say she dreamed about posting on LJ to keep me up-to-date on DW?"

I don't *think* I've ever dreamed about posting on LJ. But then I usually am a character when I dream about Who! XD

This was the first episode of Fringe that I saw, and I was totally put off. An entire teaser that consists women screaming? Sadly, there's really very little that could've won me over after that, and Joshua Jackson just wasn't enough (he seemed to be the only consistantly good thing about the show).

(Plus, Abrahms apparently sucks at the continuity, and this really isn't a show where you can be lazy about that.)

The Doctor was completely useless since he didn't really care about Rose when she was all emo and strange.

Awww...maybe he was just afraid of catching the emo? I mean, we've seen what he's like with only mildly increased emo...enough emo to turn his hair black might destroy the world.

I am so done with Kenley. I want to give her a piece of my mind sometimes. I dunno, her head is just a little too big for my liking... plus, Tim Gunn is like God of Parsons, why wouldn't you listen to him? Aye yai yai.

*blinks*

I tried opening your brain to take a look inside, but I was repelled by all the singing munchkins.

Meh, I kept rolling my eyes during Fringe so many times I feared of becoming cross-eyed by the end of the episode. I don't think I'll be sticking with that for long either (though the father/son plotline interests me).

My main problem with that show is... it looks so artificial, in a way The X-Files didn't. Like they're saying, "Hi, look at us, we're so cool, you know we are, don't you? DON'T YOU?" It kind of makes an opposite effect and makes me want to run for the door.


And wtf at that dream. I guess the long break inbetween the episodes does that to you. o_O

Fringe is unbelievably boring. I ended up reading manga while listening to the second episode.

The only character remotely interesting is the mad and odd scientist.

first remark was to wonder how Rose could still look 22 and have 5 kids of varying ages. And then I woke up.

That is a truly awesome dream.
