Fringe, book lists, music criticism, geekery

[wishfulclicking]

Fringe continued its strong streak so far. As good as these episodes have been, I'm still anxious for the main team to be united; Fauxlivia distresses me, especially after she executed that guy, but I'm also curious what shaped her. I knew the B-universe was vastly different but wow, Real Olivia would not execute someone like that. Sure, main Walter is unhinged but then so is Walternate just in a different manner.

Now with Walter inheriting Massive Dynamic, I wonder how that is going to play out. Obviously there should be more Nina Sharp, but maybe somehow Astrid can fit in there too.

NYRB Classics and Oxford World Classics. I love lists and growing to-be-read piles so I'm going to tackle these two over an extended period of time.

Piece discussing the need for female music critics. Slowly I've been reading on criticism and fleshing out my thoughts on it. Someday I'll make a post on it all, but for now I'll share the link.

So excited for the code push on Sunday! Definitely changing the layout and playing with the new features.

Do you catch up with Fringe via Hulu?

Yes! The show is going so well but I'm desperate for the main team to get back together, though it is nice to see Charlie again.

CHARLIE!!!!!!!!

oh, DVRs, nice. We don't have one of those so I hit up hulu usually.

Who do you think is going to notice Fake Olivia first?

[doctor_jasley]

my dad had to spring for dvr when my mom gained too many shows to watch each night and when she worked(s) the night shift

I don't really know(I'd like it to be Peter but I don't think that's going to happen)....maybe Astrid????though it would be interesting if it was Nina or someone like that

I really hope they'll make more use of Nina and Astrid. Massive Dynamic would be a great way to do it.

Fauxolivia distresses me to, and I wonder what will become of Real Olivia in the other world. I hope she'll snap back to her senses soon.

That article about female music critics was awesome!

I think by midseason Real Olivia should be back and then the second half of the season will deal with her adjusting to being back and really thinking about the two worlds. I do expect to see more of B-universe and probably start sympathizing with some of the alternate people.

I want either Nina and Astrid to pick up on it first too.
