Oh, man, there was a new Fringe on last night. Thank God for Hulu because I couldn’t watch it until today. As Fringe episodes go, it was pretty solid. It didn’t contribute much to the overall story arc, but it wasn’t a throwaway episode by any means. There was a lot of character development going on for Broyles last night which really fit well in the case to be solved. I dug it.
Man, I love this show. It’s annoying being a Fringe fan, though, which I may have mentioned before, because there is this sense that the show could be way, way better than it is. I blame the studio system or whatever it is for limiting the story. As I’ve said at times, I wish mini-series were more vogue – or that networks were more willing to throw down for one season of a really great show. It would be great if Fringe could be in a format like that so it doesn’t seem to be attempting X-Files type shows. There’s a lot I’ve read stating it was designed to be more of a weekly procedural – and if that’s the case, I would probably still watch it. But if that’s the case, then don’t start a big season long arc. Especially not one as juicy as war with an alternate universe. I don’t need that kind of stress.
Anyway. I’m still at 0 words for NaNoWriMo, so I don’t think it’s happening. On the plus side, lots of school work has been done. Woot!
