@Occula: You just named half of her total output. If fifty per cent of her films are good, then what you mean is that you didn't like Twilight.

@David Roden: Denouement is a good word for it - Watchmen goes out of its way to avoid a traditional climax. But anyway, here's the major difference between the two endings, because the other comments aren't quite getting at the core of the matter.

@Pants McCracky: Sitting upon his cobalt throne in his lair at Karnak, Eric Stoltz is angry at you. But he forgives you. Why? For the first time in 400 years, Eric Stoltz feels something.

This reminds me of a Christopher Priest novel, but I can't recall the title.

I really like the approach that Fringe has taken to showing us the other world. They tell good stories and let us get invested in the characters, with a minimum of infodump. And how rare is it to find a story in which the enemy is so thoroughly and generously humanized that it's simply not possible to regard them as

@Jesse Astle: I'm not sure you can judge the acting from these clips. It's mostly just screaming and running.

@Amuro: I'm embedding "just plain Carrot Top" in my vocabulary right now.

@Thorkel: Welcome to Zack Synder's brain.

@dermot: Agreed. 'Meh' is the sound of people substituting snark for engagement. When I hear people say 'meh' I stop listening, because they've already told me they're more interested in posturing than thinking.

@JohnnyZito: Not usually, but Locke and Key is a really good comic, so I'm ignoring the punnishness.

In some ways this episode reminded me of the pattern that Supernatural had established in season five - take a slightly silly premise, play it for laughs and then tie it into the main story arc for the last act ("Swap Meat" comes to mind, or the bizarre serial television spoof episode).

@Balmut: And she's so sassy.

@Willie Williams: Terriers is an excellent show, but is there a sci-fi element? I just started watching it and seems like a strange fit.

@mykalt45: Who is Henry on Fringe? Andre freakin' Royo, that's who. He played the cab driver from the season opener.

@Paganmoon: You're right. I had a memory glitch.

They should have had a flashback to President Martinez' childhood where he killed a bunch of aliens. That would have demonstrated his willingness to kill this bunch of aliens.

You missed the part where the episode was pretty terrible.

Unless I'm thoroughly confused, Sophia was being held at a facility in Alaska. Then how is it that Lee gets back and forth from meetings with Sophia in the course of a single evening? Did they relocate Washington to the Aleutians or something? Can President Martinez see Russia from his house now?

Now playing

This leads me to believe that the far future would do a lot better if Dalton were running things.

It's like I took a trip to 1989.
