Yes my friends, the post title perfectly sums up the awesomeness that is Fringe!
Thoughts:
Walter's fascination with brains...uh yeah.
Astrid is not as squicked out about this Fringe stuff as she used to be.
Walter and Peter's Uterus-Noise Teddy Bear...say it with me...Awwwwww
Broyles goin' rogue and getting shot...that man is sexy and stoic. No CHJ this epi.
Nina - this bitch has the uncanny ability to switch emotional states like nobody's business. One minute she's gentle, encouraging and cajoling with Walter. The next she's cold and calculating when emailing 'Willem' about the collateral damage of one of their experiments or lying directly to the FBI agents' faces. She's lying to Broyles too, but I still say they're making the beast with two backs with aewsome CHJs!
BTW, we all know that they're not shutting down that 'Mind Control' experiment just because the kid with the Pez dispenser fucked up, made contact with his 'Mom' and killed a bunch a people.
Holy Fuck...how many 'Tylers' are there? It looked like at least 10 in the room where the doc was taking the sedated 'Tyler' at the end - I'm calling it the Hall O' Tylers!
I agree with walter...you were abducted...of course you need crepes!
Peter is fuckhawt!
Promo for next epi...There is more than one of everything???!!!! I can't fucking wait!
This fucking show pwns me!!!

Pacey Is 'One Of Them'!?
So...Fringe...Hands down one of the best shows on TV.
Let me just start by saying that for me this show absolutely fills the void left by the end of the X-Files and The Outer Limits! It is smart, witty, self-deprecating and entertaining as all hell.
I like the Mercury-infused Shapeshifters. Very Terminator-y. But look, a shot to the head will totally kill the host body! So can't Walter create a Mercury detector to aid the Team in weeding out these Metal spies? I mean since Mercury is a diamagnetic (it will be repulsed) can't they just create a discreet mercury-detector-meter?
Parallel Universe Charlie is dead. That brings The Sads. I liked the Charlie character; good or evil. Bye bye Kirk Acevedo. Is it horrible that I was feeling sorry for him as he scarfed down his mercury and glass combo in the car?
Walter and his damn (unethical but well meaning) experiments! Giving subjects massive amounts of hallucinogens so that they can 'see' people from another dimension after they trip the hell out? Check! Giving a subject pureed flatworms (wait for the strawberries next time Olivia)to stimulate and recall their memories? Check!
Ok, let's talk about those worms - the concept of the original experiment was that the worms that ingested the pureed worms recalled their (the pureed worms') memories. Therefore doesn't it stand to reason that Olivia would recall the pureed worms' memories NOT her own? Hmmm...ok invoking the 'Suspension Of Disbelief' clause.(hereafter referred to as the SoDC)
All epi I kept giggling and muttering 'Headhunter'. I mean seriously, they were breaking into Cryogenic labs looking for a specific head with the omega like symbol on the back of its head. That's the ultimate Headhunter*snicker*. Plus I was also thinking 'supposed one of those callously discarded frozen heads was Ted Williams? Do they have tracking devices to find the heads in case they were stolen like this?
So did anyone else get the whole mark of the beast symbolism? Yeah it wasn't that subtle. Also, I like that the symbol of the Leader of the First Wave is like an Omega - The Alpha (First) and the Omerga (Last?) PS Omega-guy is not cute... all potential beasts/anti-christs are supposed to be good-looking and charming; that's how they hook you. I guess it's okay though cause he totally looks like Voldemort. Evil but with a touch of 'doable' - cmon, you saw the shot of him on Platform 9 &3/4 in Armani, you would so fucking hit that.
Leonard Nimoy as William (or Willem) is fucking creepy...and Olivia (Livvy) is right not to completely trust him. There is so much more that he hasn't told her. I mean why not just email her and tell her all the shit that will go down if she totally fucks up her role as the Gatekeeper?
If we trust the woman who Walter hopped up on LSD, then she all but confirmed my theory of Peter being from the Parallel Universe when she saw him 'glow'. I prefer to think of it as an 'aura' cause you know Joshua is just heavenly and totally dreamy. Le Sigh...Dawson's Creek Flashback...please give me a moment...Okay, I'm back. So if Pacey, I mean Peter is really from the Parallel Universe, how is he being powered? Is he not a part of the First Wave? We haven't seen him ingesting mercury and christ we know he likes cheeseburgers! Plus he doesn't have a 'shifting device'. I'm so dying to find out Peter's back story. Also, this glow thing just made me wonder if one of the Fringe writers isn't a closeted Twi Hard; 'Squee I have an idea...let's make Peter sparkle in the sun!'. Stephenie Meyer is that you?!!
So, I want to trust Nina Sharp...but there's just something holding me back. Now that Charlie has been revealed as the shapeshifter, will Olivia truly trust Nina going forward?
Will Walter's LSD shapeshifter detector lady ever tell him about Peter's aura? Will she be part of the Team going forward. BTW, I don't trust her either. Looks like she can't wait for Walter to do her and methinks Walter is willing as long as it can be worked around his bus schedule.
What happened to the NY FBI Agent Jessup from the premiere?? I guess she was brought in to eventually take Charlie's place?
Colonel/Special Agent Philip Broyles is totally bringing the sexy every episode. I love how he remains stoic, unflappable and unphased while he says some of the cheesiest dialog every week. I present to you: "Why are shapeshifting soldiers from another universe stealing frozen heads?" Bravo Sir. Disbelief Suspended indeed. I still can't help but think of him and Nina Sharp and those awesome HJs she has to be giving him! *Snicker*
Astrid - 'Walter Bishop Deli'. Fucking. Hilarious. BTW, what kind of FBI agents are they that none of them could determine that the spinning rendered image on the Massive Dynamic FTP server was Charlie?
Until next epi...remember lovvies, Physics Is A Bitch! I am so getting that on a t-shirt!

Fringe - The Return Of Excellent TV!
Holy Hell, I love this show!
I watched this show from it's first episode for one reason and one reason only- Pacey - I mean Joshua Jackson! What? I'm a child of the 90s, what can I say. I grew up watching The Twilight Zone, The X-Files and The Outer Limits and Fringe is like a happy smorgasbord of all three of these shows.
I watched the entire first season of Fringe and was thoroughly intrigued, impressed, scared out of my freaking mind and completely tuned in! I have to admit that I could not stand Olivia the first few epis, but finally I 'got' her. Love Walter, he's the epitome of the 'mad scientist'. There is so much we don't know about Peter, but at heart he is loyal, compassionate, stubborn, smart and sexy as all hell! Broyles is scheming, duplictious, deceitful but dammit he is doing all he can to protect us!
So, let's talk about the Season 2 premiere - Holy Shit!
The things I loved:
Homage to the X-Files! If you blinked you missed the clip on the TV showing our favorite X investigators. Fox Mulder, I miss you. Le sigh.
Second homage to the X-Files is when the Senator mentioned it and Fringe in the same breath at the Senate Committee hearings as divisions operating at great expense but getting little to no results.
We can connect to a Parallel Universe using a very old 'two-way' manual typewriter (hey, like Peter says, nothing is too weird to believe anymore).
The Shapeshifter machine?? WTF? Yes, please! Where can I get my own?
The Charlie is now a Parallel Universer twist! I so called this! As soon as Charlie went down to the basement I said to the BF, 'Fuck, the Shapeshifter's gonna get Charlie!' Now let's see how long it takes before Olivia realizes that he is a poseur! Did anyone else think that basement scene was very X-Files?
The subtle nuances of the Nina Sharp/Philip Broyles dynamic; who works for whom? Who calls the shots?
I had two orgasms watching this show:
1. Colonel/Special Agent Philip Broyles' speech at the Senate Committee's inquiry into Fringe Division. Swoon.
2. Peter's speech at the end about them (Fringe Division) being in charge now. Swoon.
Questions:
Is Peter from the Parallel Universe with the real Peter having died when he was younger (the grave which Walter visited at the end of last season)?
Why is Agent Jessup so interested in Fringe Division and why is she connecting the cases to the Bible? I swear if this turns into some sort of DaVinci Code-esque thing I will lose my shit!
Who gave Agent Jessup the password to access Fringe Division files?
Nina Sharp and Colonel/Special Agent Philip Broyles?? There was a subtle hint of this last season and me likey! He's a lovah and a fighter! She must give him awesome HJs with her cybernetic hand! *Snicker*
Is Colonel/Special Agent Philip Broyles a rogue Parallel Universer?
What is hidden and where is it hidden? C'mon Walter, create some electro-shock thingey to jog Olivia's memory!
Is Olivia/Olive a Parallel Universer, or was she one of the subjects that Walter and Bell got to 'see' the Parallel Universe by administering the drug cocktail?
Are there more of these Selectric 251 manual typewriter portals?
Does Nina Sharp travel back and forth between the Current and Parallel Universe? Does William Bell?
Is the Parallel Universe older than the Current Universe? Is that why they are so technologically advanced?
Is that how William Bell made Massive Dynamic into the top global technology companies because of this (alien?) technology?
Is the Parallel Universe populated by an Alien Race?
Is there no war in the Parallel Universe? Is this why the WTC still exists?
What brought the LOLz:
When Olivia wakes up in the hospital and she starts screaming at Peter in Greek, I swear to God I screamed at my TV, 'Fuck, not another Maenad!' (Those of you who know how much I loathed the Maryann/Maenad character on True Blood will undoubtedly understand and empathize with my reaction)
Walter's child-like excitement at being allowed to ride in the back of the van with the body and then his utter dejection when Peter warns him to stay out of the medications.
That damn cow in Walter's Lab.
The fact that they are making Peter's birthday custard in the Lab.
Astrid mixing the batter while leaning in to see the body as it's being autopsied.
Hey Walter, I too, love custard and abhor Flan, I feel your pain!
The 'surprise' birthday party in the Lab for Peter; special invited guests Walter, Astrid and that damn cow.
Love this show. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but like the X-Files, the Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, it makes you think 'Hmm, what if?' But that's why I love it and the term 'suspension of disbelief' was truly invented for this show.
