First, there was ( Fringe 2.10 Grey Matters; spoilers for this and previous eps )

Okay, that last point got somewhat out of hand and manifesto-y. I admit, I've had Olivia/Peter on the brain after someone's Yuletide request sparked off an idea, which is very ironic, since I'm not actually participating in Yuletide this year. Hopefully I will have time to write my idea up after the damn thesis is finished, because I quite like it, and because I don't want all that rambling to be for naught. :)

I love the way this show consistently ties memory and the past into its episodes. History weighs everything down with its constant presence; more than anything, I think this is what gives Fringe its ghost-story tone. It can be a very somber show, for all of the delightful sci-fi shenanigans and mad-scientist humor and Casablanca references (<3).

Okay, I'm really done with Fringe now. On to ( Bones! )

And then there was ( 30 Rock 4.08 Secret Santa )

Man, if only I could put this kind of energy into writing my damn paper...

God, I'd forgotten how much fun I have with 30 Rock. it's one of those shows I frequently have to pause so I can laugh my ass off. Yay premiere season!

( spoilers for 30 Rock 4.01 )

Yes, very deep thoughts. :D
