Fringe: Bloodlines
Mar. 29th, 2011 08:12 pmFour word Fringe review: I didn't hate it!
Also I'd meant to get these things out a bit quicker than I have been recently. I think it's because either I haven't been as enthused or my thoughts (as last week, as, to a small extent, this week) have run somewhat tangentially to the actual episode and have thus taken me more time to get in order.
Basically, in some ways, I think the wound in my soul left by BSG has finally done some...good in that I was so afraid of Fringe falling down the rabbithole of 4.5-level suck because it had suddenly "gone there" on a romance I narratively feared, and had introduced babiez, that my minimised expectations - the fact I'd reached the bargaining stage of grief for a storyline we may yet get but I suspect not (the epic, permanent breakup of Peter and Olivia), - this was a vaguely pleasant surprise.
( Things Which Did Not Happen! )
( Bloodlines vs Immortality; Altlivia vs Olivia; Daft Plots vs Better Emotions. )
( Science vs Nature; Fringe vs BSG; Standalone vs Standalone. )
So, back to the episode.
( No, not really, we're actually going back to Stuff I Hope Happens before the end of the series and Stuff I Don't Know how they can resolve. )
( NOW we're going back to the episode! Four final thoughts. )
Thus concludes the most pointlessly rambly review I've written in a long while... ;)
