Fringe - 1x18 - "Midnight"

[fembuck]

Two Singles Together?   LOL.  I love Olivia for being all ...



You know she was thinking, "Rachel and I love doing EVERYTHING together.  Especially naked."  Because she and Rachel continue to be stupidly couple-y.  Rachel invited over another PTA couple and Olivia was all like, "OMG, company?  I just got home from work!" about the whole thing.  Nodding while secretly looking at the clock.

Also, Olivia moved really fast on that getting a divorce attorney thing.  That makes her really eager (and in my non-dream world, a really great sister, cause she didn't even back down when Broyles gave her the hundred-yard stare)

Is it wrong that I kind of like the killer!lady because she has freaky Underworld vampire eyes?



Olivia is a really good sister-girlfriend.  I would want her to comfort me if my douchy almost ex-husband was trying to steal my child.  If her comforting words failed, I'm pretty sure she would shoot him.  And then probably come home and fix me dinner and snuggle with me.  Then I'd slowly take out her pony-tail until her luscious Serena van der Woodsen-esque hair cascaded around her shoulders and I'd lean forward and slowly ... *cough*   Uh, yeah ...

Syphilitic Spinal Fluid Vampires?  Eww.  I mean she is kinda hot, but ewwwwwww.

Aw, Walter and Syphilis!Doctor discussing the Mad Scientists burden.  Such a moving moment of  ... wait, stfu!  You make Syphilitic Spinal Fluid Vampires, you don't get to cry me a river.  Both of you are create-first-think-second assholes (good husband, but still...)

Major science fail, guys! 


And yes, I will chuckle at Walter (I mean, dude did order a The Clapper) but he is still a HUGE bastard.

Astrid, you have my respect for even trying at this point.  You talk sense, but you are surrounded by MADNESS!

"I think she liked you."  Hee.  Everyone likes Olivia.  She's like an Urban Fantasy heroine.  No one can resist her.  In other news, almost being strangled to death is a good look on Olivia.  It does wonderful things to her hair.

THERE HAS NOT BEEN ENOUGH NINA SHARP IN RECENT EPISODES.  Okay, the previews showed that she's going to be in the next episode so I am pacified ... for now ...

Also ... Hilary Duff, are you on Law and Order: SVU?  WUT?????  OMG, Hilary Duff are you acting, like in a way that's not completely embarassing?  WUT?  Also, "Well, get in there and get a confession before she remembers her favorite episode of Judge Judy and lawyers up,"  "And you're full of the usual,"  "What's next, the Black Plague?"  LOL.  I love you Cabot.  Also, you get better and better looking every time I see you.  Seriously, I would tap that like Fred Astaire, for serious.

My only question is, why was she crying in the first place when the divorce papers came? Living with Olivia > living with Greg.

Agrees much...

This actually was a pretty good episode, I do believe. I felt kind of bad for Olivia and Rachel and the whole "Two Singles Together" odd couple. I felt kind of uncomfortable, especially for Olivia.

I am really looking forward to next week's ep. I brought the frelling first three episodes on iTunes so I could get my Nina fix. I'm hoping Nina gets screen time that is indirectly proportional to that in all the other episodes...

Thanks for the review!

I like Fringe. It's my kind of show. A lot of same elements as in X-Files but the plot seems to go forward instead of being constantly stuck on "Truth is out there." I would probably watch just for Anna Torv and John Noble. I actually like all the characters in the show and the pseudo-science is done well: I can suspend my disbelief enough.

I actually even look forward even to the custody battle of Olivia's sis' kid. Which makes me chagrined of myself.

Olivia is a really good sister-girlfriend. I would want her to comfort me if my douchy almost ex-husband was trying to steal my child. If her comforting words failed, I'm pretty sure she would shoot him. And then probably come home and fix me dinner and snuggle with me.

ROFL. You should warn first before saying something like that so the reader can prevent shooting energy drink from his or her nose.

Because she and Rachel continue to be stupidly couple-y.

God yes, they are! Like, I know Anna Torv's straight and Olivia's *supposed* to be straight, but Anna Torv *never* looked at Mark Valley (who she's friggin' *engaged* to) like she looks at the chick playing Rachel!! So I'm going to continue to forget that they're playing sisters and maintain my delusion of them being two exes re-connecting and raising their little sprocket together. Sure, Rachel's a little wary because it was Olivia's addiction to getting blowjobs from strippers that broke them up in the first place but 'the Dunham' can NOT be denied.

"OMG, company? I just got home from work!"

... "And was totally planning to screw you on the kitchen table!"

Also, Olivia moved really fast on that getting a divorce attorney thing.

Ha, I love how she was all 'Phillip, could I have your divorce attorney's number so I don't have to killinate some bitches!'.

Such a moving moment of ... wait, stfu! You make Syphilitic Spinal Fluid Vampires, you don't get to cry me a river.

Seriously. Made Syphilitic Spinal Fluid AND experimented ON HIS WIFE!! And Walter, though I love him, doesn't get a free pass either. Someone who goes all 'mad scientist' on HIS OWN CHILD, let alone other people's children, doesn't get to be all 'boo-hoo, can I has redemption now?'. I can't *wait* for Olivia to realize it was Walter that experimented on her 'cuz SHIT'S GONNA BE ON!!

What I love most about the episode was probably Olivia in leather jacket~ Nyahaha.

You know she was thinking, "Rachel and I love doing EVERYTHING together. Especially naked." Because she and Rachel continue to be stupidly couple-y.
LOL. Totally. I heard a podcast today that said Rachel looked like she wants to make out with Olivia every time they're on screen together~ Olivia doesn't exactly help matters with the way she looks at her 'sister'...she doesn't even look at John Scott or Peter that way. And Rachel's SOS phone call when they were all preparing for a 'meeting' cracked me up. I'd so have her as my sister (if I can't have her as a gf, haha). Seriously, if they censor out the 'aunt' and 'sister' out of the script, I can totally imagine a gay household scenario.

But...I think there are some deeper stuff going on with the whole Rachel/Ella being introduced other than injecting some colour into Olivia's life. Rachel seems like she's hiding something. There were a couple of times where they were interrupted when she was trying to talk...I don't know what. Something like 'I'm not your sister'? Lol...as ideal as that would be, I wouldn't want them to be a part of the 'fringe' mythology. Just a normal part of Olivia's life to keep things grounded.

LOL love the post but i can't see the first pic. *whines*

<.< so... are you gonna write any Olivia/Rachel fic?

[lightbluenym.livejournal.com]

OMG I forgot Cabot came back!!!!!!! Are she and Olivia gaying it up?

*misses U.S. television*

"I think she liked you." Hee. Everyone likes Olivia. She's like an Urban Fantasy heroine. No one can resist her.

When Peter said this line I was LOL because I thought the girl attacked just guys but then she chose Olivia instead of Peter, how convenient.
Just the kind of convenient like they bringing Olivia's boyfriend in the first episode. Their way of saying "she's not gay OK? we have a boyfriend to prove it" *coughblakelivelycough* But we know better of course.

Also, with the whole experimenting thing Olivia had in her childhood, I still waiting for them to say that she's adopted so I can ship Rachel/Olivia properly :D lol
