Ugh. This episode pissed me off, except for the Chloe/Grier scene.

@ElimGarak: "The purpose of these "shadows" was to give Destiny a brand new shuttle. The end."

@Wolfsheim: Heh. Had to think about that one for a minute.

Hey, why all the hate? This could be OK and new Buffy to watch, that's something to—fuck it. I can't even convince myself.

@99TelepodProblems: I think I once drunkenly worshipped that thing.

@bookwench: Please continue. I was going to express a similar sentiment but you put it so much more eloquently.

@BrontëSaurus: An interesting notion.

@darue.keller: Damn straight! And bring back Spock's mom! Really my only criticism of the previous movie was: Not Enough Spock's Mom! More Winonna Ryder, please.

@Nivenus: I always thought TMP would have been a much better film if the crew actually got to fight V'ger in an honest-to-christ space battle.

I want a steak that can crawl out of the BBQ and onto my plate all by itself!

@99TelepodProblems: Is that a pic of the Lava Lounge in LA?

Do we know when the winners are going to be announced?

When a show reaches its creative peak as Fringe has done lately it's a rare and wonderful thing.

@Missing_link: Yes. Very, very wrong.

@oldmac31310: "You will also notice the shirt I'm wearing, which can also be favored by the Satanists as a portal to a Lovecraftian hellscape."

@SAThorn: I was OK with Olympos.

It's a testament to the quality storytelling of this show that it almost convinced me that going after the handcuffed redneck dude was a rational decision instead of the most bib-droolingly stupid thing anyone ever did.

@josecanUC: That observation is 100% correct.
