yeah, that's what i said in a recent comment. no sign of creativity. but this trailer looks really good, doesn't it?

i am so very sorry to say that, as much as i love Fringe, the current season strikes me as creatively flat and uninspired. i wish it weren't so, and hope the creative team will surprise us with something magnificent.

it would be really cool if this time around (pun intended), Peter is the Peter from our universe. Saved, not drowned. that would so amazingly cool.

wow, you dont even need a joint.

yeah, i was completely bored out of my mind for the first 2/3 of the show. glad Peter is back

was anyone else bored out of their minds for the first 30 minutes of tonight's Fringe?

please tell me there isn't a written test about what this all means. yikes.

i had to avert my eyes. Isaac Newton actually performed optical experiments by inserting a sewing needle into his eyes. Ewwwww....

so a faster-than-light superhero might travel via those extra dimensions. avoiding the relative (no pun intended) slow lane of our main four dimensions.

my favorite moment was when Craig's son says his first word, "Doctor"

i thought the most interesting bit was the two Olivia's each thinking it was the other side who had concocted all the troublesome fringey things. that opens the possibility for a third party who's really behind it all. any ideas?

i was at a doctor's office during Loma Preita, and the floor buckled like the Fun Hose at the Carnival (or Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk). so, i was unable to gauge that one. except, yeah, BIG BLEEPING QUAKE. no damage at home, and just one can fell off a shelf. didn't even lose power.

i used to play this game by myself. living in the SF Bay Area, whenever an earthquake struck that i could feel, i tried to guess the magnitude and direction. i'd think something like "Hollister, 4.5." and, after experiencing a few quakes, i was pretty accurate. you can feel the direction of the wave(s), though…

good call on Jinksy, i think

right, the editor fixed it. higher pressure inside makes perfect sense. except for when the power goes out and the smoke (and other stuff) can re-enter.

exactly.

that may be, but it really does not seem to be what the article says, "Inside emergency stair wells, the air will be kept at a lower pressure than the outside air." that clearly says emergency stair wells are at lower pressure. how do you read that as the reverse?

betcha the politics there are not as screwed up as they are here on Terra Firma. that would violate some Law of Physics...

right, like the CDC does with its Level-4 containment labs. and, that raises the further question of what happens to that higher pressure when the power goes out? smoke, that's what

this seems counter-intuitive to me: "Inside emergency stair wells, the air will be kept at a lower pressure than the outside air to keep them clear of smoke in the event of a fire." shouldn't the pressure be higher inside to keep smoke out?
