I looked at this vid again last night after months away from it and was like "You know, I think this thing is pretty awesome. I know I still see problems with it, and I could probably tinker at it for more years, but it's good enough." So vid amnesty on a vid I started a year and a half ago. (Also, a trial for using dailymotion, since vimeo now seems to have song checking copyright crap that I don't want to deal with, and I'm going to need streaming hosting for festivids) Thanks to kass and thirdblindmouse for betaing- mistakes that remain were probably pointed out by them and ignored.

Argh, okay, am reading the sanguinity thread and MUST SHARE. Not sure if this is the right venue or if sanguinity's thread is, or somewhere else: I am choosing here because it seems like a better place to put spoilers. (The ep titles refer to my early-season-3 reactions to your discussion about them, and not necessarily to the actual episode.)

Pilot:
-Nina Sharp's hand! Seeing that come back in "Peter" was SO COOL I MAY HAVE FLAILED AROUND QUITE A LOT
-Perfect Peter: I never minded Peter that much, although I could see him annoying me if Olivia wasn't so awesome. I really like him now.

Someplace a couple eps later:
-Olivia's magic hair, hee.
-ASTRID, WHY DIDN'T THEY DO MORE WITH ASTRID. Although I adore alt!Astrid. I want to be alt!Astrid.
-Oh, Stargate Universe. I have such a love/hate relationship with that show!

"The Cure":
-Speaking from the perspective of Season 3, why does John Noble not have an Emmy???? (All of them, really. But mostly John Noble.)

"The No-Brainer":
-CHARLIE HE WAS MY FAVORITE WAH. That being said, it took me a while to warm up to alt!Charlie, because he wasn't MY Charlie, but now I really like him. He better not die. I also like Lincoln. I have been warned that he dies, because this is the kind of thing I HAVE TO KNOW NOW, so at least I can prepare myself for that.
-I love Broyles. Both of them.
-Yep, this is where I started to get hooked too. (ase linked me to an ep recap where I actually ended up skipping many of the eps in between, which I think was a good move.)
-I was also really, really worried about Charlie betraying Olivia. If he had, I would have ragequit the show right there.
-have I mentioned: CHARLIE. ase had to put up with a lot of my "I LOVE CHARLIE SO MUCH" at this point. I just... platonic utterly-bedrock-trust partnerships are my THING, okay? And there's so little of it in TV!

"Unleashed"
-Usually it would be the girl getting tortured by parasites and the guy riding in to save the day (hi X-files! hi SGU!) -- I just loved that it was reversed in this ep. ALSO CHARLIE

"Dream Logic"
-I too am not at all happy about Amy Jessup just... fading away!

And, randomly, a couple of nitpicky things that bug me about Fringe:
-YOU DON'T EAT IN CHEM LAB, WALTER. Apparently none of the incredibly random bio and chem gets on my nerves, but this? UPSETS ME EVERY TIME.
-Harvard... is... not made out of stone. Just saying.
-In one of the eps I just watched (I think 3x03): NO, THE PROBABILITY IS NOT IDENTICALLY ZERO, ASTRID. You know I love you, alt!Astrid! But no.

CHARLIE.

ALSO MPREG CHARLIE.

ALSO CHARLIE.

CHARLIE.

...and it makes me evilly happy that there are protocols that you can't let go. (I cannot stop chortling about your outrage about eating in chem lab!) This show irritated me so goddamn much on some professional-knowledge fronts.
