Fringe -- "Unleashed" -- 04/14/09

Fringe

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


An animal-rights organization's rescue mission at a laboratory backfires when it releases a vicious beast, almost mythological in appearance with a lion's body and eagle's talons, and Charlie is in danger of being its latest victim.



After last week's fiasco with Idol, I highly recommend padding this recording at least 5 minutes just in case.

With Galactica off the air and Lost 'kind of' in a holding pattern, Fringe is the best show on TV. Can't wait!

I just watched last weeks show to catch up and the ending was cut off due to FUCKING FOX letting Idol run over. God I loathe this network...

DAMN IT. I didn't pad tonight and I didn't pad. How long does it take to judge these shit songs and they gave half as much "judging" this week. This shit has got to stop.

Good episode; a welcome change of pace from all the supernatural stuff.

I don't know, I'll always love Fringe but the monster in the woods eps reeeeaaallly stretch things in an already stretched Fringe world. The Science and semi-paranormal stuff work better for me on this show than the Bio-monsters.

Anyway, it was an alright ep. I am interested in what Peter and the Sister are up too.

I can't believe FOX did it again! I can't pad this show, since I have shows to record at 10. If they would at least tell people this is going to happen, I'd have watched it live on my antenna.

Looks like next week I can pad, only one of my shows at 10 will be on, so lucky me.

Personally, to me, it's been a little dull the last few eps. Lots of talking but not alot being said. That's why I said 'kind of' in a holding pattern.

But....Fringe was good. Monster-of-the-week good, not overall-arc good.

I hate Fox. Can somebody summarize what happened in the overrun?

Fringe gets delegated to my backup VCR where I can add a long pad. My DVR has things to do at 10:00.

I haven't watched this yet but I know Hulu carries full episodes of fringe and you can watch just the ending. I did exactly that for last weeks show.

Just finished the ep on Hulu (my favorite place to catch up). Very enjoyable, wish they had shown the monster more, looked kind of like a variation of the "Relic". Walter's illustrations of other monster variations from his own experiments looked fun.

The paranormal/conspiracy/X-files stuff is OK, but I know that stuff will never be uncovered or fully revealed; it is designed to be dragged out and expanded forever and ever with no closure. This particular biomonster was fully understood and fully dealt with, for the most part. That's what I'm saying was refreshing about the episode.

Walter concocts the cure, injects agent-dude, everyone watches the ultrasound, wormies shrink, yay! "What now?" Walter sez "Now you crap them out!!" ... Sugary montage of everyone happy happy. Walter and son smile(happy happy). Recovering agent dude snuggles wife in bed (happy happy). Agent chick returns home, finds sister and neice asleep on couch (happy happy), crawls into bed, hears the wind at the window (apparently it spooks her a bit), turns on bedside light, closes her eyes to sleep(happy happy). The end. They showed previews for next week's ep.

That's my quick recollection. I'm bad with TV character names.

So, Walter saves the day, warm fuzzies all around. Thanks
(I could almost skip the part I did record. )

Some change of what we are used with Fringe, it was ok.

Biggest WTF moment of the show for my wife and me was watching Charlie and that he has a wife! We always thought of him as someone that was in love with Olivia, the friend that will always love her, etc.

Ok, fair enough. I wasn't criticizing your post BTW.

Good to read that we weren't alone on that. For some reason I started thinking that maybe she was her sister but then they went to bed...
