OK, so the first episode of the season was like a drink of cool water to someone walking out of the desert, or a good toke to a crack head; take your pick.
I was right there all they way. Olivia flying through the windshield was some serious stunt coolness. The idea of someone sticking a picture hanging hook in your mouth (you can get them at Lowes) and re-arranging their face is more than worthy of the X-Files episode running in the background. I would like to have learned a little bit more about the trip to Alternate Universe X74-J (or whatever they’ll eventually call it), but Abrams is a shameless tease so I’ll get over it.
What I don’t appreciate is being treated like I’m stupid. The first thing I thought when Peter and the lady cop went rushing in to find Charlie Francis in the basement of the hospital was, “Charlie, open your mouth!” Peter Bishop is a lot (a whole lot) smarter than I am and it would have (should have) been the first thing out of his mouth. I’m all for using literary license to further a plot, but this was just ham-fisted viewer abuse. Abrams should be ashamed of himself and the marketing whores at Fox should be horsewhipped, since they’re usually the final arbiters of artistic excellence - their mantra being, “Can we make money on this episode?”
If this is a preview of what to expect from the new season, we’re in trouble. I’m hoping it’s just a case of really bad judgment and not a growing case of viewer contempt. I guess we’ll see.
I’m wondering if the most recent episode is a nod to Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child’s book, “Still Life With Crows”?
There are some amazing similarities.
Season 2 Ep 2. As Olivia is walking into bowling alley there is a song playing on the alley music system. Someone, please tell me the group and song. I swear it is driving me crazy. I have spent sooooooo much time, trying to pick up just enough lyrics to do a search. Please help.
Agent Francis is an amazing character, and when I saw him laying in that trash can…my heart sank. WE LOVE CHARLIE!
And my question is-
How in the heck did that shapeshifter kill him? Charlie is strong, willing, and brave. The morpher was in the form of a nurse. How was she (he, it, whatever…) able to kill a full grown hunk of FBI muscle? It puzzles me. Yes, I understand her being able to attack Oliva in her almost-dead state, but CHARLIE?
If anyone thinks they have the answer, please tell me. /And even if I get the answer I’ll still be sad about poor Charlie……*grumble*/
I love this show!
A combination of great and i mean Great! actors! Not to mention that i have a crush on Olivia, lol.
This is my #1 show since prison break went off the air.
Keep up the good work! and Anna Torv, if you’re reading this. I think you are a great!!!! actress and would love to meet you some day!
hi i looking for the name of the song in the season 1 episode 18 that we heared when the guys go in the club at the begining of the show
thanks really appreciated
Still sad about Charlie. But now I have an even better question.
Why did you guys kill Charile? This isn’t because I’m whining again, it’s because when you kill a character, it’s for a reason. Take Kutner from ‘House’ for example. They had him commit suicide because the actor found a much better job with the government. Yay him. But what happened that made you kill him? Really? I’m itching to know.
