Electricity? Orchestras?

The frustrating thing, too, is that killing Windmark would have been justifiable and awesome, like assassinating Himmler. I feel like we're being punished as viewers for wanting that.

If it ends in a church, I'm suing JJ Abrams.

Olivia said to Peter: "She saved my life today. With the bullet she brought to us. She's alive inside us." So she does feel in some way that Etta is guiding her, and that's something she can't attribute to science.

If August and September could experience love and emotion despite having the Observer tech, why couldn't Peter? I was hoping he would prove that you can have both.

But it wasn't "empathy" that rescued her from the bounty hunters. She went from believing in science to believing that Etta's presence saved her life. I call that a 180.

Sure, but in the Fringe universe the moral person must retail awe and humility in the face of science. Walter is constantly verging on the brink of "hubristic ambition that engulfs the soul" because his science allows him to do that, and he has to cling to a moral centre, not to Etta's benevolent ghost. This is the…

The argument is that all children have latent powers that they lose as they grow up, and cortexiphan can harness those powers. So whether you argue that Water "gave" Olivia her powers, or just enabled them, is semantics.

Actually, I get the impression that the hospital was standing by her. No official complaint was made by the royal family. I could be wrong, but I don't think she was going to be fired. I think the hospital took responsibility for having no protocol in place for such an unusual circumstance (a princess in the ward),…

As others have said, he's not claiming the drug turned him gay, just that it led him to seek sexual encounters with other men, as well as other things he'd never done before like cross-dressing and exposing himself online. It's not inconceivable, if you think about how certain drugs can alter sex and gender, increase…

I find it really disturbing that anyone would let an older man (who is not a qualified therapist) "mentor" a teenage girl in his own home, inside or outside a religion. I would have thought Orthodox Judaism had rules about that sort of thing, to avoid even the appearance of scandal. I guess the rules mostly apply to…

Okay, let's both just get a burger.

Sure, I guess that's why nobody got your stellar joke.

I have a lair, and I'm hardly evil at all.

The Kim dynasty doesn't have a sense of humour. And no one in North Korea has the internet.

Once you've read an account of someone dying of a bowel obstruction because they've been eating indigestible leaves and bark, you never forget.

"Love to kick around," what are you talking about? Read a book.

Those little non-paws just danced all my troubles away.

Bah, humbug!

Seriously? I think the "Gah-dammit; I gotta go do hero stuff now" attitude is lame and cliched, along with the whole "I don't have time to care, dammit" schtick and "I'm tough on the outside but oh-so-soft on the inside, dammit" routine. Billy Burke was better in this episode than any of the others, but his expression…
