icepixieI did watch Nashville this week, but can't bring myself to bother commenting much on it. It was more coherent than last week, but that's not saying much. I still only really care about Juliette's storyline, which continues to shock me, and rather wish that Avery, Scarlett, and Gunnar would all move to Austin and get off my screen. (P.S. Avery's OMG-so-attention-whorey guitar line? Totally the best part of that song.) I keep thinking that this has to get better, because the pilot was so good, but it keeps dragging along. Maybe once they finally get Rayna and Juliette in some scenes together? It has to happen at some point, right?

That...that was actually quite good. It was! It was creepy and science-fictiony and heartwarming (in creepy and science fiction-y ways) and focused on the characters and mostly ignored the dystopian elements, and it felt very much like Fringe of yore! Well, okay, Astrid was criminally underused, but this is not exactly new.
I was so hoping Walter had disappeared to Redverse in that apartment, but the pocket universe was pretty cool in its own right. And it came with bonus baby!Observer, whom I figured we would never see again, so yay! Of course, now they just have to find him. And probably do something awesome and morally gray with him. Poor kid. I really want to know what that radio is supposed to receive.
Poor Cecil really didn't get to do much before he died, did he? Aww. I had a hard time taking him seriously because the actor played this very funny stoner on Robson Arms, and since Cecil didn't really get a personality, I just superimposed Hal's onto him, and...yeah. (Hal and Walter would have the best time. Okay, Walter would have a great time and Hal would be confused and horrified before warming up to him. Still.) Anyway, I guess Cecil was just there to illustrate Walter heading toward Walternate territory. I must confess I don't remember him getting the pieces of his brain back; last I recall that being addressed was back near the beginning of S2, and he got them removed again. Maybe this happened in the part of S4 I wasn't paying very close attention to.
And ohhhhh, Peter. Don't you know that keeping secrets from Olivia is always a terrible idea?! Well, okay, that plotline where he was murdering shapeshifters and whatnot in S3 was kind of erased from existence and thus really carried no consequences, so maybe he doesn't know. BUT HE REALLY SHOULD. Anyway, now he has super-strength, super-speed (the disappearing--unless he's wandering through universes when he does that), and I think they implied mind-reading skillz, because he was never actually told Cecil was a thief, but he seemed to know anyway.
Obviously this will not end well.
