Quick Thoughts – Fringe Episode 120: There’s More Than One of Everything

Fringe had their season finale, and it definately has moved into the top spot of my television watching… well second behind the new Doctor Who, but I have no idea when I will get to see that again.

And they got me… It takes a lot to deliver a twist that I don’t see coming… No, not the alternative universe, and not the twin towers image…

Only bad thing is that there weren’t many great Walter quotes… oh well, can’t have everything

WATF: Fringe – Episode 102: The Same Old Story

My “Well After The Fact” (or WATF) reviews are my personal analysis of content. Usually this means that I purchase wrestling dvds, graphic novels/trade paperbacks, and television episodes of genre entertainment on the cheap, through ebay or other means. And then I review them.

When it comes to television shows, you can count on several things. The first, is that the episode after the initial pilot will be a fairly straightforward ‘easy’ story, that further establishes the characters and re-emphasizes the general premise, without major trauma to the characters.

The second, is that eventually all sci-fi/genre television shows hit the same cliched plotlines. And filed right in-between the ‘amnesia’ episode and the alternate reality episode is the investigating a baby that becomes older (or dies an old man) quickly.

And here Fringe does it, in Episode 102: The Same Old Story

Quick Thoughts – Fringe Episode 111: Bound

Fringe came back on the air, after their holiday hiatus.  I will do a review later, but these are my quicky thoughts about the episode.  (These are late quick thoughts, as I don’t like kicking my wife out of the room, just cause she doesn’t want to watch something ‘creepy’) 

And I’ve thrown in my favorite quotes from the episode, mostly from Walter…. what fun!

WALTER: Things like this used to happen in the lab all the time. Makes me nostalgic. Spirited, isn’t it?

WATF Review: Battlestar Galactica: The Hand of God (110)

My “Well After The Fact” (or WATF) reviews are my personal analysis of content. Usually this means that I purchase wrestling dvds, graphic novels/trade paperbacks, and television episodes of genre entertainment on the cheap, through ebay or other means. And then I review them.

I really enjoyed this episode. For me, one of the strongest episodes of the reimagined BSG, with all of the key characters: Apollo, Starbuck, Tigh, Adama… all acting within their characters, but also excelling in their own skills.   A fine bit of acting, good plot progression, and good character development.

Once again, I watched this several months ago, and am catching up to the Season 2.0

Quick LOST Thoughts

Okay, I saw the first two episodes of the new season (“Because You Left” and “The Lie”)… Let’s break it down…  what I liked and didn’t like.

Lost Questions… (2008)

I am a huge fan of the television show Lost…  Tonight is the beginning of Season 5.   So to celebrate, let me give my top 10 questions that have not been answered…

This is not some all-encompasing list, this is just a list of 10 questions that I would like answered before the show goes off the air next year.  Some are typical, but many are not.

WATF: Doctor Who – Episode 401: Partners in Crime (401)

My “Well After The Fact” (or WATF) reviews are my personal analysis of content. Usually this means that I purchase wrestling dvds, graphic novels/trade paperbacks, and television episodes of genre entertainment on the cheap, through ebay or other means. And then I review them.

Once again, I started this a while ago. And then I got bored with blogging. But I’m back and wanting to catch up and take inventory. Even if no one else is paying attention.

I started with the new series of Doctor Who, back when it debuted on Sci Fi. I had been a fan of the original since the early 80s. But it was cancelled, and really didn’t age well for me. But I was enough of a fan to start watching in 2005 (I think).

It started off slow, but started to gain ground with me. By the time the episode Dalek and the two parter The Empty Child. I was hooked again. And amazingly enough, my wife has suddenly started to like the show.

Anyway, onto the first episode of the fourth season. A harmless episode that brings Donna Noble as the new companion of the Doctor.

WATF: Fringe – Episode 101: Pilot

My “Well After The Fact” (or WATF) reviews are my personal analysis of content. Usually this means that I purchase wrestling dvds, graphic novels/trade paperbacks, and television episodes of genre entertainment on the cheap, through ebay or other means. And then I review them.

This is my first review of the television show, Fringe.  I have been enjoying this since it debuted in September.  It is the fourth television series developed by JJ Abrams and the Bad Robot production company.  And I loved Alias and Lost, so Fringe was a no brainer.

Onto the review of the pilot episode of Fringe, originally broadcast on 09/09/2008:

The End… (Just When It Was Getting Good Too)

As a fan of comic books, you have to sit back and bask in the sunlight that is the current scene in cinema today.  You can hear it.  All of the comic book readers who were scorned back when they were teens are crying out in triumph.  As if the success of The Dark Knight has redeemed their obsessions. 

There is an inward comic book geek who does feel that way.  So I feel the elation.  There is something nice that an icon, like Batman, is going to achieve such notoriety, such financial gain… it’s a shame that it spells the beginning of the end.

WATF Review: Battlestar Galactica: Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down (109)

My “Well After The Fact” (or WATF) reviews are my personal analysis of content. Usually this means that I purchase wrestling dvds, graphic novels/trade paperbacks, and television episodes of genre entertainment on the cheap, through ebay or other means. And then I review them.

I return back to the BSG franchise after a long absence.  Back to reviewing BSG… This is a long delay for the review of this episode… Mostly because I got sick of typing and busy at work.  Plus I didn’t really like this episode.
