geebsEven more TV commentary:
Fringe continues to intrigue/confuse me with the Massive Dynamic involvement in all this. So is it that there are "bad guys" behind this pattern, and Broyles is part of a government/corporate group trying to stop it, but Nina and/or Massive Dynamic have their own agenda? I mean, it seems like a lot of the cases so far have tied to them, but since they're trying to figure things out also, they're not actually involved. But what confuses me further, is that she/MD has a separate agenda from the rest of the group, but then Broyles is going straight to her with stuff. So that would imply they were still on the same side- but then Broyles is complaining about Nina trying to poach Olivia.
And why her, what has she actually done, it seems like the Bishops are the ones doing all the real work. Speaking of, so they've made Pacey more mysterious with some guy following him and vague hints of some people he was supposed to check in with, as if he were actually really a spy or something. As for his father, I'm curious if Walter wasn't currently a nutcase, if he'd actually be a bad guy. I mean, most of the times, he's an amusingly crazy old man, but whenever he starts getting more coherent he's like one of those mad scientists who cares more about results than things like morals. Its times like that he gets scary. I'm also curious if the pattern people they've been investigating know he's out.
Oh, and who speaks Latin? I mean, Astrid majoring in it, that's fine. But when the guy on the phone was speaking Latin, I thought it was just an added level of "encryption" on the network. Like even though they thought no one can eavesdrop on them because they don't know that frequency exists, in the off chance someone did, it would slow down any eavesdroppers since they'd have to translate from Latin to whatever. But the DEA handler guy speaking English nixes that theory. So why was that one guy doing Latin?
Also, I might have to watch it again, but didn't Nina say she cooperated with the government on a similar incident a while ago in Prague when Olivia asked about the resin-gas? But then Broyles tells Olivia that crazy receiver guy pointed them to 3 incidents they weren't aware of, one of them in Prague. So was Nina lying?
On SVU, what's with the new format where they're showing more about the personal lives of the detectives- Stabler's daughter turning all slutty and going out with a thief, Liv's continued freak-out over her almost rape when she went undercover, Munch suddenly dropping references to his former partners (both on SVU and homicide) and bring up the whole bar thing he used to own, Fin wanting to get out, but can't because the transfer guy's ex-wife ha a thing for Fin. Of those, when did Stabler's daughter start dressing all slutty? I guess she's been in trouble before for driving under the influence. And what's with her saying her bf is being wrongfully accused? Its not like there were a couple of charges that Stabler was not aware of, and went overboard, the card was maxed out! So was she clueless, or has she turned bitchy and rebellious?
And the new ADA is Lindsey from OTH. I dunno how I feel about her yet. She's a little too "Let's all hang out and be friends!"
Wow, they've finally did a song from Spring Awakening that wasn't the "Mama Who Bore Me" Reprise. And not just the normal "Mama Who Bore Me", but "Bitch of Living" as well. And again, what's with a high school doing a play with a song like "Bitch of Living"? Like how did they handle the "Totally Fucked" song?
Heh, and I amused how they followed the super awkwardness of Annie asking her adoptive brother for the condom in his wallet, but then bumping into Ethan and him seeing her holding the condom. Like doesn't she have pockets?
Mebbe its my attraction to messed up girls, but is it me, or is Adrianna kinda hot? I guess I was confused before about the whole "having to pay the rent" pressures from the first or second ep, but if Adrianna was poor, how is she at West Beverly and friends with Naomi. Obviously not a scholarship kid. I guess I realize now she actually is a working actress, prolly made a bunch of money with various commercials and secondary roles in movies and guest spots on TV, but she and her mom are living beyond their means. And I guess her mom (ha, Spencer's mom from SoN!) is one of those crazy show biz moms living vicariously through her daughter, and the pressure her mom put on her is what's driving her to use drugs.
Given she's only been a guest star so far, I wonder if she's gonna end up burning out and OD-ing or killing herself. Then again, Summer, Taylor, and Kaitlyn were all once guest stars on the OC, and they got upgraded.
