Countdown to Goodbye...

***Spoiler Alert***

If you have not seen the first episode of season 5 of Fringe then please leave now…thanks…

Just watched Fringe’s first episode of their final season. It was spectacular, but I expect nothing less. I have been on pins and needles waiting for this episode. I was so glad we were getting a season 5, that the fans were given a few episodes to wrap up storylines we have dedicated our time to and that we would be allowed to say goodbye.

During the summer I heard that most (if not all) of season five would take place in 2036 (like the episode 4x19 letters of transit), I was glad to hear that because after that episode I became concerned that the future with the Observers Hostile takeover would never be explained or resolved.

I know that Walter will remember the plan September put in his head (at some point, I mean he has too, right The Observers can't win). I am on pins and needles waiting for the next episode.

Overall-

Things I loved:

Peter and Olivia’s reaction to their daughter and finding one another

How much the actress who plays Etta looks like Olivia.

Walter…enough said.

Things I didn’t love

Not enough Astrid and Walter love

The creepy guy Markham using Olivia as a coffee table

How would I rate this episode? 4 out f five stars. Why not five? I am not sure, I guess because I have seen better Fringe episodes. Though let me reiterate, I was not disappointed in this episode. I think we have an action packed season ahead of us…buckle up guys…

Digging up Bones and Fringe benefits....

Lame Title...huh?

It’s been a  minute since I have posted. I was plagued with a husband who is traveling and toothache that I was sure would kill me. The husband is still traveling but the toothache has lessened so now I am ready to give my two cents on the finales of Bones and Fringe. Only read the following if you have watched both finales .

SPOILER ALERT!

Let’s start with Bones. I loved the finale of Bones but I have loved this whole season. Some fans seem to find the addition of baby Christine as unnecessary or have even claimed it takes away from the awesomeness of the show. I find that bizarre. I think motherhood brings out some really wonderful things  in the character of Temperance Brennan. It has softened her a little but not too much. She is still highly analytical and extremely driven. She is still our beloved Bones. As for Booth, I don’t believe the birth of his second child has changed him much, but it has changed their relationship for the better.

The episode itself left us with a delightfully painful cliffhanger. The events leading up to this delightful cliffhanger kept me on the edge of my seat and caused me to bite my poor nails down to the quick (Thanks for that Hart Hansen!). Emily Deshanel is still on top of her game despite her maternity leave and David Boreanez never disappoints but I think the actor who impressed me the most was Tamara Taylor (Dr. Camille Saroyan) who was torn between her loyalty and love for Temperance Brennan and her duty the law and integrity of the Jeffersonian. She really had me on the verge of hysterics when she made the choice to do the right thing. Ryan O’Neal was also doing his thing and laying it down (so to speak) with a performance that was so very in character.

I am waiting…as patiently as I can…for season 8. Hmmm….
