I doubt it for some reason. Why would they all be hairless and look so similar if it was JUST tech?

Lol'd.

Neil didn't exactly have the ability to move around through time and space like that one Observer we saw. They never really made it clear what, exactly, the stick does for the Observers, because they seem to have a whole heck of a lot of power without them.

Loved it. Loved Jasika, and I hope she sees a somewhat increased role over the course of the season. I also loved all the stuff with Walter and Fauxlivia; they're adorable together. Who wants to start shipping??

No mention that tonight's Fringe seems to be at least somewhat Astrid-centric? We LOVE Astrid!

Fuck my friends indeed. They laugh at me for watching Buffy too. God dammit people, vampires =/= terrible tween shit.

I want to watch this show. It sounds like everything I'd love. But my friends. They will laugh and point.

I didn't watch this! Yes! Maybe I'm finally free!

REVENGE! sounds great, I plan to watch it…at some point. I'm sure it'll only make me want to sigh in the general direction of Ringer even more.

Well, Much Ado will be out soon, so there's that.

I don't know anymore. I will probably keep watching this show for as long as it's on the air, but other than being strangely compelled to turn it on every Tuesday ("Ringer hostages" was actually pretty apt), I have no real attachment to it. If only it was crazy fun. Why can't it be crazy fun?

I rather enjoyed the Madonna episode, despite not liking Madonna.

I'm trying to go cold turkey with Glee, starting tonight. I have no attachment to Michael Jackson and I'm about 95% certain that a tribute episode to him will be awful, so I have no desire to watch tonight, and hopefully I'll just slowly forget about it entirely.

I actually thought the actress was pretty awful. At least Azura Skye could read her lines like a hu-man.

This reminded me a lot of Help from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, right down to the death-predicting teenage girl with a prominent jawline and five year old voice.

No, that's all fair; I'm definitely not calling you unreasonable, and I'm not so crazy that I would think a "B+" means you didn't think it was a good episode. I was just curious.

@avclub-d301bce59916e4713089b7b3c335635a:disqus Not B-, B-grade. As in, in the B range.

I don't know if they *need* to, it's just in interviews conducted by various websites. In any event, they're far lower profile than Darlton ever were, which alone gives me confidence that they're not letting it get to their heads as much.

B/B+ or B-/B is more splitting hairs to me. The difference between a B+/A- is the difference between a B-grade episode and an A-grade episode. Even if it's only one step up it says a lot, and I think this was an A-grade episode.

RE: The payoff of the Amberverse…after Damon and Carlton I told myself I'd never believe the words that come out of showrunners' mouths again, but something about Wyman & Pinkner's insistence that it will pay off and that they have no intention of cheating the viewers really sparks some optimism from me. Of course,…
