Have you missed these liveblogs? I sure have.
21:04: Despite knowing from last week’s preview that some poor schmuck gets stuck in the wall, I am still quietly horrified watching this.
21:06: Okay, I’m sorry, but all my comic book knowledge of phasing says that guy would have been dead the second the wall solidified around him. I DOTH PROTEST.
21:09: I feel extra bad for the actor who has to play the dead man stuck in the wall. That is a much harder position to hold than ‘lying still on a table.’
21:10: BALTIMORE.
21:11: Oh shit, everything is starting to come together! The man who pulled the apple out of the box, injections, Mr. Jones, this vaguely familiar British guy who I believe I’ve seen somewhere else…
21:15: I wonder how long it’s going to take Olivia to realize she was never in the marines, but Agent Scott was.
21:16: Oh snap. I guess the answer to that is “one minute.”
21:19: And NOW the poor actor has to hang there with his hand stuck in some sort of prosthetic stump arm.
21:21: Can WE see what’s in these boxes? Please? No? Well okay then. Also, I thought they could only read dead peoples’ minds for a finite amount of time after death – which, at least several weeks into the show’s timeline, is most certainly over.
21:22: Don’t high frequency vibrations in solid matter also cause friction to the point of lighting things (read: the people passing through it) on fire? The last time I took physics was in high school, but it was my best science.
21:24: Poor Astrid, she seems tired.
21:27: “There was nothing in any of his records.” “Yeah, that’s why I’m callin you.” Hey, at least you’re useful!
21:28: Poor lil’ guy has the shakes.
21:29: Thank you, Walter, for pointing out the simmering sexual tension between Olivia and Peter.
21:39: Don’t these Feds know how to shoot somebody in the le- oh, well done Olivia.
21:51: Joshua Jackson totally has a hand double.
21:52: Was it seriously easier for Walter to invent a time machine than it was to cure a rare disease? It would seem his skills in faux science greatly exceed those in biology.
21:53: Seriously, why does this woman go anywhere by herself? She’s dealing with highly radioactive people who walk through walls.
21:55: I’m sorry, Olivia, but sometimes the story’s need for tension and drama make you do stupid, stupid things.
21:56: Wait, he didn’t invent a time machine – he invented a TELEPORTER. Which is still somewhat excessive as compared to curing disease, but.
21:57: Can I just say I love the sort of shaky, beta tech nature of all the fringe science in this show? It is still absurd, but in a more endearing way than sleek, refined technology would be. Like a wobbly puppy!
