Yay, Becca's Fringe posts! (And your tags are hilarious. ;-)) This is almost better than watching the show. :-)
he's Pacey with angst pasted on and I don't really care much. Gosh, so much word here. You know how I feel so just . . . word.
But I kind of don't care and love him anyway. I think because half the time the random shit he says really is kind of funny and I haven't watched enough of it yet for him to become a parody of himself. And because as derivative as it might be in concept, their execution of him as the mad scientist who is alternately harmless and really fucking creepy is quite good. For which I credit the actor because, really, Denethor from Lord of the Rings but going from that dark, brooding mode to vulnerable and confused and all to easy to laugh at and then back is quite a compelling cocktail on screen. Um, how does it feel to be in DB's brain, hmm? It's exactly what I think but you put it all into the words that I can't. :-) Oh, and John Noble is awesome.
Olivia . . . jury's still out for me. But I loved the almost-nuclear family thing too! Ella waking Olivia up was gold. Those actresses totally nailed those moments.
Asterisk! I missed that one. I did guiltily laugh when he called her Astro the other day, though. She and Walter need another ep in the field where they solve the case all on their own. Maybe there has been one in season 3?
I still know nothing about Nina Sharpe and I'm glad about that! She's not just evil, I think! And not just good. Ooh, I have to watch her more closely . . .
1) about three seasons in it will go off the rails. It's 14 eps into season 3. What do you think so far?
