    What did you watch?

    Yesterday, I had to get back to some work, so I punted on "Andor" (I'll
    get back to it soon). All I watched was:

    soaps: DOOL - Really awkward episode. We're back to the "John is dying
    stuff", except (Fake!) John isn't even in this episode, he's just
    "off-screen" and talked about!... Meanwhile, NuSophia meets with Melinda
    Trask to potentially hire Melinda as Sophia's lawyer for the adoption -
    first, Sophia's mom runs across this, and Melinda has to talk Sophia's
    mom down from going over the moon; then Tate shows up and blows his
    stack over Melinda's role in the saga of Nicole's baby stealing. I was
    unclear after all of this as to whether NuSophia would stick with hiring Melinda or not. Meanwhile, crazy NuGabi is right for once - her
    daughter's behavior in disappearing overnight (to secretly boff Doug
    II!) is deplorable, but Arianna lies and acts like the injured party -
    is Arianna going to turn out to be a villainess?! I think nothing else
    of importance happened this episode.
    GH - Brook Lynn's showdown with Lois over the Gio revelation; later,
    she tries to explain what happened with the adoption to Dante.
    Meanwhile, Tracy comes across Gio (and dumb Emma) trying to "escape" the
    Q Mansion, and Gio fills her in on the revelation that he is Tracy's great-grandson, and then Tracy won't let him leave. At the end, Brook
    Lynn and Dante show up. Meanwhile, Cody expresses his regret for his
    part in this whole mess to Lulu. And Nina pleads with Sonny to intervene
    with NuMichael to push a compromise, but Sonny tells her that there can
    be no compromise as long as stupid Willow is with Drew (true!). Willow
    and Drew go to Mac and the cops about Jason "kidnapping" her daughter,
    but I think Mac is going to tell them that fathers can't "kidnap" their
    own daughters.

    Murder in Nashville (recorded off Lifetime months ago, though this also
    reaired on LMN within the past week or so): I didn't care much for this
    one, though it did manage a OK-to-decent ending. But you could pretty
    much tell who the "villains" were from the get-go, so there really
    wasn't much "suspense" in this one aside from whether the dumb heroine
    (Sarah Zanotti, whom I've never seen before) would get herself murdered
    like the last girl did.

    Fringe S3E07 'The Abducted'

    A Redverse episode. The Candy Man kidnapped Broyles' son four years
    ago, returning him blind and with other physical deficiencies. Now he's kidnapped another child named Max.

    The glyphs for this episode spell out: ESCAPE

    Alternate Phillip Broyles: The FBI ceased to exist over a decade ago. At
    least on this side, it did. You know who you are, don't you?
    Olivia Dunham: What happens now?
    Alternate Phillip Broyles: Now... I'm going home.

    In this episode Ronald Reagan stars in the alternate universe version of Casablanca (1942). In an earlier episode Cary Grant is said to have starred.

    When the agents are in Max's room, a book can be seen by the title "The
    Burlap Bear." This is presumably the other side's version of "The
    Velveteen Rabbit."

    The voice of the news reporter on the radio when Olivia gets into the
    cab is Steve Langford, news reporter for The Howard Stern Show.

    Ronald Reagan was the male star of Casablanca (1942) in the alternate
    universe. In real life, Warner Brothers did plant a press release in the January 5, 1942, "Hollywood Reporter" announcing that Reagan was slated
    to appear in Casablanca, but internal Warner Brothers memos indicate
    that he was never under serious consideration for the movie.



    Fringe S3E08 'Entrada'

    Back in Blue (why am I reminded of AC/DC?) "Peter grapples with the
    aftermath of recent events as Olivia desperately searches for an ally. Meanwhile, the Fringe Team discovers a critical device that communicates between universes." sez IMDb.

    The glyphs for this episode spell out: CROSS

    Dr. Walter Bishop: It's all because of that temptress; she tricked my
    son with her carnal manipulations, and he fell right into her vagenda.
    Astrid Farnsworth: "Vagenda"?
    Dr. Walter Bishop: Like Mata Hari using her feminine wiles to accomplish
    her evil ends. And I too fell prey. She used my stomach to get through
    to my heart.

    Olivia Dunham (as Fauxlivia): I want you to know that this started out
    as an assignment, but it became...
    Peter Bishop: Something more. That would be so much easier to believe if
    you weren't in handcuffs right now.

    First episode to have opening credits in both blue and red.

    The brief glimpse of the exterior of Penn Station shows that, in the alternative universe, it has been renamed for New Jersey-born singer
    Bruce Springsteen.

    When Olivia in the Alternate Universe goes to Walternate's lab at
    Harvard, the isolation tank she gets into is nearly identical to that
    depicted in Ken Russel's 1980 film Altered States starring William Hurt.
