Tonight’s episode – Midnight
For my money, the best part about this show is John Noble’s brilliant performance as the socially addled super genius mad scientist Dr. Walter Bishop. It’s his off-the-wall zaniness that is the perfect counter-point to the very serious and dour and often very gruesome things that happen on the show. Walter Bishop is one of my favorite new characters from this season of television. I can’t help it, the guy just makes me laugh.

Woot! early much.
Conor, I 100% agree with you about Bishop.
His presence is also what distinguishes Fringe from X-Files.
@odino1: Definitely. X-FILES could, at times, be opressive.
Bishop definitely has the mad science thing going on…but the thing that I like most about him is that he’s funny
*grumble*AMERICAN IDOL*grumble*
ahh…this guy aint gonna last long
Although it was kind of worth it to see Ryan Seacrest sputter out at the end there.
Fringe in HD!
That looks like the most unfun club ever.
was that one of the creepy bald dudes that just walked by in the background?
There he goes
These are not good extras that they hired!
someone is gonna get it
"Nice apartment. Lots of… space."
Wow.
And that’ll teach you not to cheat while your girlfriend is in Portland.
mmm…chewy
This girl looks like a cross between the main character from Ginger Snaps and Paul Atreides
these pro-windows commercials do nothing but piss me off horrendously
I’m a block away from Applebees who wants a Real Burger?
@Heroville actually, what I’d really like is a Fake Burger
"Two Singles Together" would leave me and my girlfriend with no friends at all
Hurm. Adult conversation.
someone is snacking on spines
Andrew Kreisberg!
@CaptainPrimate: Well, spinal fluid is tasty…
The two most reoccuring characters in fiction: Dracula and Sherlock Holmes
I think the father-son point/counterpoint is pretty amusing
Aaaaaaawkward.
Do people normally keep their divorce attorney’s numbers on them?
that is decidedly un-divorce attorney-like music
The killer is Al Capone!
did you know that the word "syphallus" is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful words in the english language…true story
@CaptainPrimate His attorney was Matt Murdock
Man the CDC’s busy as hell this week. Maybe this is the cause of that magic pig disease?
Just once it would be interesting to see the guy from the CDC cast has ruggedly handsome and not super nerdy.
ahhh, man, I didn’t need to see that
Who funds ZFT? Probably Massive Dynamic.
"Reveal unto us the mysterious maleficient source of the evil in this series!"
@conor same goes for all of the show’s scientists…nerdy McNerdy pants
@conor or Veridian Dynamics…or Lexcorp
@Heroville Veridian Dynamics is my favorite awesome fictional crazy ass company
@CaptainPrimate: Well, Josh Jackson is *kinda* like a scientist…
@conor if by "kinda" you mean he faked his PhD, then you would be right!
@conor then again, he probably did better than most people with a real PhD (shhhhh…we’re crazy)
@CaptainPrimate: Is it the degree or the knowledge that’s more important?
Chinese restaurant as a front for evil? MY GOD!
Well, this is more exposed spines than I expcted to see this Tuesday.
Where’s Jack Shepherd when you need him?
I’ve known of chinese food restaurants as fronts for counterfeit handbag sales and also as a place to illegally buy cheap booze, but nothing involving exposed spines, as far as I know.
"I will hit a man in a wheelchair, don’t think I won’t."
The only exposed spines are on the rabbits in the windows
@conor well, if you claim to be a professor, a PhD is kinda important
Well done with the hot wife, Mr. Scientist.
uh oh…that dude’s evening isn’t going to end well
Oh, fuck!
pepsi throwback? seriously, is that a joke?
So the fluid in the vials is alien dna. She’s part Venom now.
"We found something very interesting on the tape. It comes right after the recorded sex which, I’ll be honest, was awkward for everyone."
news flash – all nerdy scientists have hot wives
its a creepy catch phrase "The more I gave, the more she craved"
"Why would they create this? BECAUSE THEY’RE EVIL"
AWESOME "I also have a cow"
Showing his lab off with mad scientist pride.
Super-Pnuemonia? Alright these people are definitely behind the magic pig disease
@conor Mad Scientist pride or mad Scientist pride?
mad scientist envy
@Heroville: The beauty is, they both work.
"Founder of Massive Dynamic, richest man in the world, and half Vulcan."
Was that title just floating in the middle of the air?
@Heroville: They usually are, aren’t they?
Major Tom (Coming Home) is an awesome song…even if its a cover on a shitty car commercial
@conor: I thought it was a piece of scenery
what body guy DOESN’T want a cookie…seriously
She’s not a vampire she’s a succubus
clap on, clap off, clap on, clap off…the clapper
back to the sucky club
These people look like their at a junior high dance not a hot nightclub
@Heroville: I blame Canada for these lifeless extras!
my wife just turned to me and asked…."ahhh, how did he get spinal fuid out of himself?" good question
Everytime they say Farnsworth I think Futurama. Good news everyone! Spinal fluid for everyone!
If you’re the guy walking out of the club and a bunch of guys with what look like guns come at you… don’t you stop walking?
@conor: It just confirms everything my friends at BU have said about Boston being boring
"She’s going to be out for hours" usually means she’s going to wake up at any moment.
And there it is.
@conor dude, don’t blame us…only the pilot was shot in TO….they moved down to NY after (apparently)
@CaptainPrimate: They’ve moved back to Canada since; wear your shame!
Shit now swine flu’s coming at me from both sides
I bet the scientist is secretly hoping that after she’s cured, his wife will continue to dress like that.
Or, he’s not hoping anything.
Cause he’s dead
SPOOOOOOOOOCK! How could you fund ZFT?
Ohmygod, a Spock reference! That’s either too much or too awesome. And the bald guy!
wow…thats some serious nerd fanservice…son of Sarek indeed
WHAAAT?
