Why would they just store away interesting things, and have no one working on them, seeing why and how they do what they do? That irritates me so much I might not be able to watch the show.

Well, I preface all of my comments with the fact that I'm watching the shows for the first time now. I wish I'd been around for the discussion.

The only thing that's ever truly bothered me about this show is when they go on and on about "the line they shouldn't cross." I mean, of course I think scientific advancement needs to be done morally, and that there are certain "lines we shouldn't cross," like thinking ourselves so smart as to play with the lives of…

I'M THE ONE WHO KNOCKS

I've just been chugging through the episodes in the past few weeks. They got so good at the end of last season, and the beginning half of this season. But I think the last few episodes have been sliding, sliding down the quality scale. I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the Nimoy voice in Olivia. It was so campy,…

I knew this really gruff, older gentleman in college. He was my boyfriend's fraternity's chef. He reveled in being a "man's man," whatever that really means. He loved booze, women, porn, smoking, etc. When we would go into the frat house, we could see what he was watching in the mirror. It was always Lifetime. He'd…

10 heads in a row does not mean the laws of the universe are breaking down. True random numbers have long strings of the same numbers in them, so people always think true random numbers don't look random.

So I might be watching Fringe pretty late for a discussion, but they helped (or "helped," since they all died in Earth-2) the other Cortexiphan kids, why couldn't they train Simon to control his powers? UGH, stuff like that kills me.

I dunno. I think even though Caputo is sleazy, he's not sleazy like Healy is. He's not sinister, he's not gunning to impose his morals on the women. It's nice to have a character that has power over these women that  is at least a little not evil.

I wonder where Healy gets his ideas of how people should be. The way he views the world, so black and white, so moralistically—I bet he's going to kill his mail order bride, and that's how they'll get a new counselor. He seems like the serial killer type, the type that thinks he's doing her a favor because she's…

She trades her antidepressants. Remember, she'd rather cry and be able to shit than stopped up and sleepy. Or something like that.

I think they did that on purpose, for a couple of reasons.

I think you put your finger right on the button, and I wasn't thinking in that way at all. I tried not to think about his weird lesbian obsession, and how he could have gotten a job as a counselor in a women's prison. So oddly moralistic, so…disgusted by what he sees. He really thinks the women in his care are…

Poussey and Tastee's friendship! Poussey is not getting enough love! She was funny and touching and kind and loyal and loving! Oh man.

Spoilers ahoy!

Ugh, Freud. Seriously? Saying that all a man wants in all relationships with women is to get close to a mother's love is degrading for both the men and women involved in the relationship.

I think it's 'formerly known as,' but I'm not 100% sure.
