THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH FRINGE!

Found via a rec from [livejournal.com profile] kiki_miserychic on twitter.



I wasn't lying when I said one of the awesome things about Fringe was how the main action hero is a girl. Because seriously, this isn't a selective slice of the show. I mean, she gets to do stuff other than fuck up people's shit, sure, cus she's the main character. She gets to do things like have awesome and confusing and pissed-off conversations with morally ambiguous middle-aged women with robot arms and Leonard Nimoy about how she may or may not be teh speshulz and destined to like, save the world or something. BUT ALSO SHE DOES STUFF LIKE THIS.

(For the spoilerphobic, to be honest, this isn't a narrative vid and most of the spoilers are so out of context you wouldn't understand them anyway. Though the framing device, such as it is, might spoil you for one of the major start-of-S2 plotlines. But like...WATCH IT ANYWAY. It's not like you'll really remember or anything. YOU WILL JUST REMEMBER THE ASS-KICKING.)

*loves* *loves again* Olivia is my favorite TV girlfriend currently on air...there can never be enough love for her and her badassery.

This is very effective recruitment. I haz season 1! I just keep...not watching it. I thought I was going to put it off for Babylon 5 and Susan Ivanova (sp?), but I keep not making it through the pilot of that show. So Fringe it is! Sometime! Soon. Ish. Because I have this weird thing with TV where I HAVE to start at the beginning, and then I keep putting it off and they keep making more show and it gets to be problematic.

Hmm. Fringe has tended to strike me as sort of an X-Files wannabe, which sort of made it not appeal. But I may have to give it a`shot after this!

ETA: That makes it sound like I didn't like XF, doesn't it? My Fringe skepticism has had more to do with worrying that it seemed like a pale imitation of XF, heavy on the things XF ended up doing really badly (conspiracy, omg!) and light on the things XF did fabulously (characters and chemistry--though I think my Fringe skepticism on this front is entirely Joshua Jackson, who does nothing for me). But the woman in the vid looks pretty awesome. Not that I have time to pick up a new show right now. But I shall have to add it to the list, anyway.

Anna was adorable at Comic-Con and I want to watch the show for her, but then... there is J.J. Having been burned by every single one of his other shows, I'm hesitant to get into another J.J. show that will end up fizzling into terribleness eventually. *ponders...*
