Fringe: OMG LOOK AT THIS.

[beccatoria]

Okay, I have super ambivalent feelings about Fringe right now, but, if this isn't just some onset prop error, this is KIND OF AWESOME:

Watch the lights behind Olivia when she's looking a bit stressed out by Walter's ranting. THEY ALL FLICKER.

Hee. Fringe is great with the details.

I love the 1985 intro. Personal computer! In vitro fertilization! DNA profiling! Hahaha. I like that the show has one look at the details like that. :-)

Yes! I love those crazy little details. Like the Observer, he really did show up in every episode before we got to understand why. Or misspelling Manhatan Over There.

Ooh, I don't know those details! This is fun! Like Easter eggs. Was it revealed about the Observer in season 3? Oh, don't tell me! This is fun. :-)

Is he really in every episode? Wow! Now I have this need to rewatch everything! I won't but it's a fun idea. :-)

Nah, it was revealed reasonably early in season one, actually. But yes, he is in every episode at some point, in the background somewhere. The creepy glyphs that you get at commercial breaks? They are a code that spells out a short word that's relevant to the episode somehow too. Usually it's a fairly obvious thematic one, but for instance the S2 finale code was "WEISS" - a reference to Sam Weiss, the creepy bowling alley mentor that Olivia has? There was a phrase written on a blackboard in the S2 finale that was an anagram of "Don't trust Sam Weiss" which was apparently an easter egg, and recently we found out he knows way more than he ought to and wrote one of the weird prophetic-type books they found. Though we don't know why exactly not to trust him yet.

Anyway. Yes. It does well at the easter eggs. Here's hoping it does well at the actual story too since I'm still...nervous about that.

SET PETER ON FIRE WITH YOUR MIND, OLIVIA. WE KNOW YOU CAN DO IT.

(I am basically never going to use any other icon ever again).

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SHE DIDN'T DO THAT LIKE SEVENTEEN TIMES ALREADY OMGS.

(Also other icons are for the weak.)

Oooh nice catch. I would have never noticed that.

Alas, I can't claim credit - the wilds of the interwebs educated me, but yes, it's pretty nifty, right? :D

SO VERY AWESOME! :D
