I've been (work) busy for days, which is why I haven't posted to RAT
much this weekend. I'm giving two of my three final exams today, which
means I'll be grading for the next few days, but hopefully won't be busy cover-to-cover anymore... We'll see.
Anyway, I haven't watched much over the past 2 or 3 days:
soaps: DOOL - Wed to Fri's ep's. Philip's scheme to steal the drug for
Bo goes awry (aside: Philip's nerdy friend does seem familiar - like the
same actor was on the show as a teen years ago...). When Xander finds
out, he threatens to kill Philip. Meh. 'Cos we know he won't... Alex
wants to publish Stephanie's trashy manuscript... then they have sex.
(Quelle surprise!) They claim to Marlena that they've found John (off- screen) - then Susan Banks has a dark premonition. [roll]
  GH - Thur's & Fri's ep's. Three main thrusts here. One: Carly and Willow prepare for the coming custody hearing - Sonny is appalled when
he hears about Carly's scheme gone awry, and he goes to Willow to try to negotiate a deal. Two: Curtis has figured out that Drew is blackmailing Portia - first he tells Nina (who secretly already knows!) about it,
then goes to confront Drew, while Ava pleads with Portia to come clean
before it's too late. (Can't wait for Portia's life to fall apart soon!) Three: Lulu lets Cody in on her "Gio is Brook Lynn's son (and Brook Lynn knows it [she doesn't!!])" theory, and then they both try to prove it...
Oh, and Alexis (and, separately, Lucky) try to track down the wreckage
of Ric's totalled car, but Ava and Ric are seven steps ahead of them!
golf - Anticlimactic. Jonathan Vegas led after Day 2 of the US Open, but Scottie Scheffler took over the lead on Day 3, and never looked back. Scheffler led the entire way (most of the time, by a lot!) on the final
day - even upon bogeying the final hole, Scheffler still won by 5 strokes!
  Anyone else who tried to challenge seemed to quickly fall apart -
the LIV tour guys really don't seem to be competitive anymore!
  This is Scheffler's third major win. He really has been dominating
golf the last 2 or 3 years.
And that was pretty much all I've been able to watch.

The glyphs in this episode spell "Reveal".
Astrid Farnsworth: All right, so what am I looking for?
Dr. Walter Bishop: Anything that looks like it doesn't belong.
Astrid Farnsworth: I think this qualifies. Richard Nixon on a silver
dollar.
Dr. Walter Bishop: That's disturbing.
No scenes were actually filmed in Jacksonville, Florida despite the name
of the episode.
Fringe S2E16 'Peter'. Walter has 1985 flashbacks while justifying inter-universe kidnapping to Olivia.
Despite being named after his character, this is the first episode to
not feature Joshua Jackson, apart for a small clip from a previous episode.
The glyphs from this episode spell out: Peters
The episode's opening titles have been redone as though it were a show
from 1985, complete with an '80s version of the theme tune and decade- specific fringe science topics such as "stealth technology", "virtual reality", and "in-vitro fertilization".
When the movie theatre from the alternate universe is seen, it is
showing "Back to the Future: starring Eric Stoltz". In fact, Stoltz did
play Marty McFly in Back to the Future (1985) for a few weeks. Michael
J. Fox was originally unavailable, so Stoltz did some filming, but
realized that the part was not right for him. By that time, Fox had
become available and did the movie.

Well, now that Buffy is back Xander and Willow will have to stop
slumming it on soaps and move to New Sunndydale. ;-)
And that was pretty much all I've been able to watch.
What did you watch?
I watched:
Found - "Missing While Dying" - Series finale. They pretty much wrapped everything up, but doing it in a way that they can quickly undo it if
the show comes back for a new season...
That reminds me - I left "Suits LA" (I'm pretty sure it was the finale)
and then "Watson" (also the finale?) on as background noise while I
graded last night. And during "Suits LA" I had to leave the sound turned
up to cover noisy people down at the pool, so I kind of "watched it"
watched it.
I was amazed that they actually seemed to wrap up all major storylines
up in the "Suits LA" finale. Yes, they easily could come back for
another season of this. But maybe outside of Amell's love triangle, they >wrapped pretty much everything else up. So one cancelled show actually
ends up with an acceptable finale. (Netflix, take note!!

So that's how they think time travel works.

I thought I was quoting the episode, but I remembered it wrong, or I was >thinking of a different show.
I'm still convinced they retconned The Observers in later seasons.
