I think we've reached a consensus.

LOL @ this latest exchange.

Just caught up w/ this show using the helpful season 1 playlist from the Lost thread - at its best, it is really, really good. Great S2 finale.

someone tell me which episodes I can skip. I have a feeling this show is probably good but I watched the first two last night and had the same reaction everyone did.

Somebody posted a list of the season 1 episodes you should watch. I think it is upthread but I'm starting to wonder if it was elsewhere.

orakle-krake (Gukbe), Thursday, 15 July 2010 13:53 (2 years ago) Permalink

watch these
Season 1: 1 (pilot), 4, 5, 7, end of ep 8, 10, 14, 17, 19, 20
season 2: 1, 4, maybe 7, 8, 10, maybe 14, end of 15, 16 (Peter), 17, 18, 22, 23

great! I'll try that. I'm seriously on the fence about whether catching up with these is even worth it. I should probably go watch all the seasons of the Wire that I missed or something.

akm, Thursday, 15 July 2010 18:17 (2 years ago) Permalink

Man, the run from Season 2 from ep 15 onwards was easily the best they've done - it would be great if they could keep that up for a whole season but I guess that's kind of unlikely.

Simon H., Thursday, 15 July 2010 18:32 (2 years ago) Permalink

This is weirdly a show whose "mythology" episodes don't really suffer if you haven't seen previous installments.

Anyone read Fringe producer @ Comic Con say, essentially, lol science?

I think this whole season will go back and forth from cases at one universe to cases at the other

Walter had some great quotes this episode

not thrilled with the whole ancient tech/Rimbaldi device part II turn they've taken, but otherwise this season is going well. am really going to hate Peter's character if they don't make him smart enough to notice that it's the wrong Olivia sometime pretty soon - i mean, he picked up on it within seconds in the alternate universe, so uh...

only just recently noticed on youtube that there are a quite a few clips of the Observer guy showing up randomly in the background of other tv broadcasts like NFL, Nascar and American Idol. i guess not many people noticed? but if they are for real, it was a pretty genius gimmick!

Kim, Sunday, 10 October 2010 17:16 (2 years ago) Permalink

Damn good episode. Unusually good direction -- best use of split-screen on tv I'm betting, plus the cold open was beautifully shot. Also, the doubled image of Olivia in the beveled mirror == hello symbolism.

Getting a lot of The Wire vibes, too. Daniels of course, then Bubs. Now, we get a guy named Milo Stanfield. All that plus making Agent Charlie and Agent Pizzaface seem like genuinely good guys while it's the bosses who are doing dirt is VERY David Simon.

Daria Law (Leee), Sunday, 10 October 2010 21:49 (2 years ago) Permalink

another good episode i thought!

why aren't more people watching this!?

Kim, Friday, 15 October 2010 15:47 (2 years ago) Permalink

I think they are? And they're just not posting?

Yeah, I am quite impressed with this season, esp. the last two episodes, "A+++ would watch again" caliber.

Daria Law (Leee), Saturday, 16 October 2010 17:12 (2 years ago) Permalink

One point when Peter looked at Folivia you could see him struggling with eye contact. I felt like I saw fear in his face too but I'm not as sure. That's something I would look for if I watched that episode again. This season has been very good. It's impossible for an episode to be only 'freak of the week' with so much other stuff going on

watched this season's eps last night for the first time. i'm really enjoying it. the show is much more consistent now that they are covering both universes. i hope at some point they bring the main story more in line with the shape shifters because that still feels way out there to me.

nitsuh enbb (jeff), Saturday, 16 October 2010 19:13 (2 years ago) Permalink

Speaking of the shapeshifters -- wouldn't it have been obvious that Newton wasn't human when he was on ice?

Daria Law (Leee), Saturday, 16 October 2010 20:49 (2 years ago) Permalink

I continue to be impressed with the fact that the awesome:dull ratio has improved immensely over three seasons. Agreed that the long-term B plots are so much more compelling than 'weird shit of the day'.

Since Pete was a con man for so long and survived through Sherlockian observation, he must have tipped pretty quickly to the fact that it's 'the wrong Olivia' and is playing this out to see what her plan is on his side? He can't let her know he knows, his only choice is to play it out. (haven't finished the last ep yet, may be speaking too soon)

Could they be planning to combine Olivias into somebody who functions simultaneously with awareness across universes? (In space, like Dr Manhattan across time: 'I'm sorry, I'm talking to Laurie ten minutes ago ...')

Brakhage, Sunday, 17 October 2010 21:01 (2 years ago) Permalink

Though actually thinking about it now the show is setting up that a. Pete is becoming aware, though not convinced, and b. the false Olivia knows that the more contact he has with her her chances of being discovered are greater, since if anyone's going to notice her fakeness it's going to be him.

Brakhage, Sunday, 17 October 2010 21:09 (2 years ago) Permalink

My opinion is that peter is at least 90% aware and he's just trying to play it cool because he will probably need fake Olivia to get the real one back.

popular music is destroying our youth (CaptainLorax), Sunday, 17 October 2010 21:15 (2 years ago) Permalink

Yeah, absolutely

Brakhage, Sunday, 17 October 2010 21:18 (2 years ago) Permalink

I hope you guys are right -- the gradual realization thing is boring and cliche, but I think that's the way they're going right now.

Walter eating animal crackers solely in honor of William Bell was the lolziest thing ever.

And Nov. 4 is almost here! Just would like to say that the worst thing about the two Olives is that I hate her new haircut. Her bangs = bleh.

I kind of like the last minute twists they pull sometimes. Like tonight. Otherwise it just felt a little filler-y to me? Like the bad guy was creepy and stuff but they didn't invest him with anything but the most vague hint of a personality.
