Fringe S1 rewatch thoughts
Jan. 2nd, 2012 07:03 pmHappy new year! Wow, 2012. I feel so futuristic.

So, I just rewatched all of Fringe S1 in roughly a week. I kept coming up against episodes and five minutes into them going, "Oh, it's this one" (where "this one" means "brain liquifaction via computer virus" or something similarly disgusting), but I'm hunting clips for four different potential vids, so I had to watch them all. Plus there was sometimes a little nugget that relates to the mytharc. ( Spoiler ) But it all starts to come together in the latter half of the season, particularly with "Ability" and then "Bad Dreams" through the finale, and especially with the benefit of hindsight, you can see how everything is tying in to the larger plot and how the characters are putting the pieces together, and it's like those wonderful moments in music when a bunch of dissonant lines resolve into a chord.
Coupla specific thoughts:
( Spoilers through S4 )

In other news, lately I have found myself reeeeeally craving fic for old movies, to the point where I'm contemplating setting up a promptfest or perhaps even an exchange. Exchanges seem to actually produce fic, but promptfests are much less pressure, and I am all about my fannish life being as low-pressure as possible. Perhaps it could be something like, "Submit 3 prompts, then write one before you're allowed to submit 3 more," along with some very generous and relaxed deadlines for people who want them? I dunno. Thoughts, anyone?
