I didn't find it utterly hilarious - I just thought it was cool :-) and she did a great imitation, she's really a talented actress.
This was a really weird episode. At the beginning I thought they were climbing and walking on the ceiling but things were really turned upside down. The blood floating up was cool. There was a lot about disability in this episode. I think the entire episode was great the beginning, ending and and several other points really caught the viewer's attention. I gave this "Os" episode 5 out of 5 stars. So Jason, that's what happens when you put mints in a soda? I was never big on science projects.

I am planning to wait for that one to come out on Netflix. I think I might see Battle: Los Angeles in the theater next weekend. I recorded a movie on SyFy last night called Battle of Los Angeles, which I'm halfway through and it seems very similar to the movie currently in theaters. :-/


No, because both have debuted in 2011. Battle of Los Angeles (I mistakenly used "for" instead of "of" in its title earlier) is billed as a spoof, though I'm not getting that vibe from it as I finish the second half now. I can't say it's been any better or worse than other SyFy original movies.

Which is why I didn't watch it, I despise mediocrity.

I recently finished watching the "V" TV series season one. I highly recommend it to sci-fi fans :-)

I don't think Fringe was on last Friday but it should be returning this week right? We're getting down to the final episodes of the season now :-)

:-) I still really liked V season one - a new show I'm addicted to. I'll have to look for season two online.

videobb.com is another good place to watch TV series online.

That was very helpful Jackie because it also shows how to watch Warehouse 13 season 2 :-) Now, I just need some free options for the current Supernatural season.

Good luck. I really hope you find Supernatural, I know how much you like it.

Well, try this then: http://www.bugmenot.com/view/videobb.com
Not sure if it works or not.
Dammit, they have to ruin everything.



Oh, he was still intense, but this time about the spirals in licorice instead of an FBI case.

I'm now working one day a week at a movie theater and I get to see unlimited free movies. My recent favorites include Hanna and Source Code - I highly recommend them both. All you alternate-reality fans will like Source Code - it'll mess with your head and make you think :-)

I def want to see Source Code, it's already on my list for DVD rentals. I get an email weekly for what's coming out and check against The List. It's helpful, otherwise I'd forget half the movies I want to see.
Did you see Tron Legacy? I'm not sure if it's worth seeing.

I wasn't that impressed with Source Code. It contained too much hand waving and too many logical contradictions. That part in Olivia's mind when all the people suddenly stopped, stared at Peter & Walter, and began chasing them reminded me very much of Inception. I think it was an homage to it. Tron Legacy is at the top of my Netflix queue.


Yes, I didn't care for Tron and felt it existed purely for special effects--there was no plot--but I've heard this one's different, so I'm willing to rent it to give it a try.

I haven't heard anything about it, so that's good to know.

I agree somewhat. I would have liked to see William Bell AKA Leonard Nimoy in person again rather than as a cartoon character or Anna Torv acting like him. I felt surprised when they opened that door in the movie and became cartoons, but they may have stayed in cartoon mode too long. I was glad when they switched out of cartoon mode in the house with the red door but then they switched back, oh well, it was fun :-)

It was all because they couldn't get Leonard to make another appearance. I thought it was a very clever way of dealing with the problem, though I'd prefer not to be watching an animated version of Fringe.

Yes, it was his voice.

So, he was okay with lending his voice to the show, recording in the studio, but he didn't want to lend his body? Geez! who does Bell think he is that he can take over someone's body anyway? He just shoves olivia out of the way and then decides he better go save her. Did Bell accomplish anything by coming back? Can't he just die? Loved those zombies btw :-) well, they looked like zombies to me anyway. It also looked like they had labcoats and blood on their hands and blood coming out of their mouths, so they could have just been some crazy doctors or scientists right Jason?
So, I'm guessing Leonard Nimoy is done doing Guest appearances on Fringe but I also guess that anything could happen :-)
Do we still get two more episodes before the May 6th finale? I hope so but I don't know the schedule.

Jason, I didn't intend to infer that you are a zombie or a crazy scientist with blood on your hands and blood coming out of your mouth - it just turned out that way :-) Just don't take me too seriously, okay? great. Thanks. See you later. Goodnight.

If he can do the voice, why couldn't he appear in person?

Because he doesn't have to come into the studio and act if all they need is his voice, as they could record that from him home or a sound studio, and it doesn't take as long as physically acting, because there aren't nearly as many takes to correct errors.

Ohhhhh, now I'm disappointed.

well, you should give HANNA a try. I think you'd like her. She's very logical :-)

I might like her, but the movie about her doesn't look very interesting to me. :-P

Try it, you'll like it. I was really impressed because the film is visually stunning, filled with action & surprises, and it's also humorous. I also liked the cool music that the action is set to :-) You can post your amazing thoughts after you watch Hanna okay? okay. great. you see it & I'll meet you back here. bye.

The one thing I really liked about Beastly was the role Mary Kate Olsen(Full House TV series) played. I haven't seen her in a while and she did awesome - I wish they would have ended by showing us her face one more time instead of just her high-heeled shoe.
