Pajiba

Those Walter quotes are great! If it were just the Walter show, I'd probably watch it. But for me, it has too much Pacey, & that lead chick stinks up the place, at least in the 1st few episodes. Some of the larger plot twists sound pretty cool, though.

Consensus among fans is that the lead chick "Anna Torv" has really turned it around, and I totally agree. I also thought she was pretty mediocre the first few episodes, but she has been very good lately, and knocked the most recent episode out of the park.

I agree that Anna Torv has greatly improved, and has really gotten her American accent under control.

I would like Walter to be my dad.

I will watch The Walter Show for as long as it is on the air. Thanks for that collection of quotes, SLW.

I don't want Walter as my dad, but I'd love for his lab to be in my basement.

Not that I mind, but I suspect that my husband is watching more for The Olivia Show, though he'd never admit it.

Based on the above, I think Walter is an Eloquent who never posts on Pajiba. Instead, he lets his eloquence out into the air, like a butterfly or the Ebola virus.

Oh yeah, Broyles is the shit. He's so damn cool, he doesn't have to try. He just looks at you (ie, a perp or subordinate) and you're all like, "Yes, sir, whatever you say, you da fuckin' man!"

And I kinda dig Blair Brown in this, too. It's interesting to see a nefarious corporate type as a woman for a change.

Dude, Denethor is hilarious on this show. #1 reason to keep watching.

Also Salter could easily bed Astrid. They're flirting like no one's business. Seriously check it, it'll blow your mind.

I a-goddamn-dore this show. Walter is glorious, of course, but the rest aren't too bad either. Anna Torv is one of those people like William Hurt whose faces don't seem to conform to regular human expressions. It's hard to explain, and very interesting to watch, but it's like they were kept in isolation growing up and never learned that, for example, when you're happy the sides of your mouth go up, or that your eyebrows furrow together when you're confused. Joshua Jackson does that one often enough for both of them, though.

I love that it's both The X-Files and the complete opposite of The X-Files at the same time. On X-Files it was always monsters, and on Fringe it's never monsters but some form of scarily advanced future science. But there are still monsters. On one episode a dude turned into a Werewolf/Porcupine kind of thing on a plane, and it was because of science. On at least two occasions the bad guys were growing monsters inside people that proceeded to claw their way out of the people's faces, and it was still because of science. No matter how bizarre things get Walter always explains it, and I'm absolutely smitten with it.
