Review: Finger (The Bishop Revival)

First off, I'd like to leave this open letter to Time Warner Cable...

Dear TWC,

I've come to the realization that you either (a) hate me or (b) just suck. Lately, for some bizarre reason, random slots on my guide come up as "To Be Announced" and more importantly, they seem to be in the slots of shows I have on series record. So why am I paying $10/month for a DVR service and $8.50/month for a box that can't function properly. I might as well get rid of it entirely and just watch all of the shows online for free the next day because you sure aren't doing your part.

In conclusion, I think Johnny Carson put it best when he said "Fuck you."

Sincerely,
Fuck You

Okay...now that we've gotten that out of the way, here's my review of last night's episode of Fringe.

I'm starting to like these one-offs better than the episodes that concentrate on the major storylines. The best part is how subtle they actually tied into Bishop Jr. not being from this plane. (Oh crap, I just gave away a spoiler. Well from here on out you'll have to highlight the text that are spoilers if you want to read them.) Maybe I'm the only one who noticed it but why isn't anyone questioning why Walter was affected by the toxin, but not Peter? I'm guessing this is something that was best left alone to work on one of the other bigger questions. How the hell did the Nazi guy live that long? I guess we'll never know. Personally, as much as I'm not a big fan of art involving the Nazis, I liked the collage pieces. They were pretty well done even if they were totally creepy.

All in all, I'd like to say that this was one of the best episodes of the season. Especially considering that I'm sick of the father-son exploration this show somehow tries to shove in to every episode. I also couldn't believe that Walter totally killed that guy. That was totally impressive.

Note: You may be wondering why I'm writing this review like someone in middle school who spends more time making ball point pen art on denim notebooks than someone with the semblance of intelligence even if rudimentary. It's because I'm tired. And frankly, I've been more entertained by you tube lately than writing. So for the hell of it, here is a sample of mental retardation I've been experiencing. Enjoy.

  2. I just fired the TWC DVR and brought back my old friend TIVO, got so fed up with out of date software that TWC never seems to be in a hurry to update and fix.
