I liked the tidbit about how Siobhan was on medication for paranoia. Maybe she's actually legit insane and that's part of why she set up this whole elaborate ruse. That would be cool.

Also, apparently next week's episode isn't called "What Are You Doing Here, Ho-Bag?" anymore.

The Gemma reveal this week gives me the feeling that the people behind this show have some semblance of self-awareness. The fact that she was revealed very early in the episode (was it before the opening credits? I don't remember), at least gives the impression that the writers didn't think they were fooling anyone…

I only watched this episode because I saw the description in the What's On Tonight? article and thought it sounded interesting. I haven't watched Family Guy in years.

KILLING SPREE

I've absolutely hated Family Guy for years. I loved this episode. Kudos, and I'll stop watching again now.

In case nobody's mentioned it yet:

Oh my goodness, I would go on a killing spree.

Also, as for the "FoTW plots are in a rut" thing - I disagree. I'll ask the same question that Noel asks in his first stray observation: "Coincidence or theme?"

There isn't really a connection there. The nature of the time bubbles from this week and Olivia/Peter's time loops are different in nature, and as Peter mentions at the end of the episode to Broyles, his existence in the Amberverse is having effects. The time jumping that Olivia and Peter do are likely part of it, and…

This episode was wonderful. Easily the best, or perhaps close second best, of the season. It was a little like White Tulip, which is no bad thing. I love this show's ability to work its plot and character arcs are really thoughtful and emotional sci-fi standalone stories like this one.

Oh, my bad, I misread that. I thought you meant that they thought Adult Peter died at the end of Season 3, which would be all kinds of wrong.

That's not what's happening on Fringe! They didn't think he was dead.

I think I've figured out how to predict how good an episode will be. By simply reading the title and gauging it for its potential to lead to/be a part of/come after a bitch-slap should tell you whether it'll be worth watching.

Yeah, that's how I interpret it. Watch the video for this season premiere's "We Got the Beat", imagining that everybody singing was actually terrible, and you'll see how much more sense it makes.

Free Agents wasn't taken off the air because of the lack of will-they/won't-they. It was taken off the air because it was goddamn awful.

My god, the writers of this show have serious delusions about high school and how they treat art students. Ryan Murphy must've spent many-a-night crying over the mean mean jocks in his high school years, because the depiction of high school in this show is exaggerated past the point of satire and into just complete…

Hahaha. Race purists.

The thought definitely occurred to me, but with Leonard Nimoy having retired from acting, I don't think he's likely to be the villain, unless he's entirely in an offscreen role. Or cartoon again.

Love it. Strangely though whenever I try to think of it, the only version I can actually play in my head is the 80s one. I guess it's catchier?
