    From Dimensional Traveler@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 3 09:12:43 2025
    Fringe S1E13 'The Transformation'. IMDb sez "A man undergoes a painful
    and ultimately fatal transformation aboard a plane. Meanwhile, Nina
    Sharp and Broyles reveal more information about John Scott to Olivia."
    The glyphs spell "Avian".

    Agent Olivia Dunham: Cut open his hand.
    Peter Bishop: What?
    Agent Olivia Dunham: I want to see if there's a disc in it. Like Bowman's.
    Dr. Walter Bishop: [gets on his feet] I like cutting.

    dirty old man.

    Long workday, long work week.

    So just soaps - DOOL (Thur's ep - not worth commenting on).
    And Y&R: Still catching up with a selection of episodes - I've saved
    the episodes where they're going to write out Alison Lanier's Summer for
    the weekend. I'm actually quite pissed at the development, and the news
    that they don't even intend to recast the role. That's at least 3 or 4 important children of main characters who are now "off-screen" and
    unavailable to appear for deeply sketchy reasons.

    I miss this show.

    What Did You Watch?



    I watched:

    Law & Order: SVU - "Shock Collar" - Team SVU springs into action to save
    a kidnapped young girl who is being tortured by the kidnappers who are
    also streaming it online for paying customers. I think Ice-T was
    missing from this episode, but Kelli Giddish was back. I wish they'd
    figure out what they are doing with her character. When she first left
    I couldn't find an answer, but I tried googling it again and this time I
    found articles that said the departing was not her choice. If so, I'm a
    little surprised that she keeps agreeing to come back for guest spots.


    9-1-1 - "The Last Alarm" - They killed off one of the main characters
    last week, this episode has the aftermath with the character's funeral.
    I once again turned to google to see if the actor's departing was a
    mutual decision, and according to what I found, the show runner fired
    the actor so they could add drama to the show and let the audience know
    anyone could die. That is stupid! I know it's a TV show. They don't
    have to kill off the main characters to keep me interested. That's a
    way to make me disinterested! See also, "The Walking Dead" and "The
    Last of Us" for examples of killing off main characters upsetting
    audiences.


    Found - "Missing While Independent" Sir's psycho sister is attacking
    people the agency previous found.
