Um, what the heck is a "chat-and-cut"?

I sort of have a fundamental problem with this show that starts with the premise.

Which is why I DON'T (don't, don't, don't) want to see a Reese-Shaw romance because it would be like Reese dating himself.  Ew.

Really…that episode was ROOT and then everyone else.  And they even managed to sneak a surprise in there (for me anyway) when she referred to the Machine as a "She."  I kind of thought Root had a strictly hetero machine-crush going on there, but apparently she sees the Machine as… her best friend?  Herself?  ("God is

The episode itself was meh, kind of like the first week of school after summer, where nothing actually happens in class except the handing out of book lists and needed supplies.  And also when you realize you'll be stuck sitting next to someone you hate all year, which is how I feel about Sarah Shahi's character.

As far as I'm concerned, this show is basically just a John Noble delivery system…

Kind of like what they did with ALIAS? not.

Don't you mean the Pacey and Joey show?  Joshua Jackson's theft of this show from James Van Der Beek is legendary.

Also: shirtless Ichabod Crane playing with modern technology.  (Yes, Fox actually has advertised this for tomorrow's episode.)

If John Noble's character doesn't shoot lightning out from his eyeballs, I will cut a bitch.

I've watched Breaking Bad (fell away from it for a bit, but will finish it eventually) and think it's a really good show.  That said, the hyperbole over it is going into overdrive, which I suppose is understandable, but I heard all sorts of rapturous rhapsodizing about the big shootout at the end of the episode last

Well, I saw a clip of him popping pills, so maybe it's for the agoraphobia

Chances for that are pretty good.  Didn't you catch the Asimov references in Fringe?

No, JJ Abrams is not suitable to be masturbated over - that's what Joss Whedon is for.  However, Abrams does have a fairly decent track record with executive producing various television series.  Some hits, some misses.  The hits tend to be very memorable.

Actually, I'm more jazzed about Jonathan Nolan being involved.  He has done wonders with Person of Interest.

Every bald guy who ever appeared on Fringe probably is on the phone with their agent right now.

I'm guessing his name is Bobby, i.e. Robert, after Lincoln's partner who was murdered by the shapeshifters.  Lincoln was awfully broke up when his partner died.

I sort of agree, except I don't think they dragged anything out in the first 2 seasons as you say.  All of the excitement and momentum that people liked about Seasons 1-3 had to do with them throwing out their playbook (the alt-U wasn't supposed to show up till Season 6!) and picking up the pace.  However, that had

It's probably the only real specific question raised by the finale.  You can handwave it away, but that's a pretty big handwave.
