THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH FRINGE!

Found via a rec from 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.)

I keep not making it through the pilot of that show

Uh, yeah. It's really not a bad idea to watch season 1 of B5 in the background while you're doing something else. Or while you're drinking. I swear the awfulness is worth it in the end, but season 1 is a VERY hard sell, I know.

Heh, I've tried that a few times, then I get about halfway through the first episode and realize I have no idea who anyone is, where they actually are, what their relationships are to each other, or what's going on because it just seems to slide through my head. I know the answer is to push through and figure it out later, which I will do eventually because I totally believe you. Someday!
