I don't know if anyone here watches or cares about Fringe. I used to watch it sparingly because my mom was into it. Only a few random episodes ever caught my attention, but this season has got me hooked. Peter disappeared from reality and a third of the way through this season he pops up again. No one knows who he is, no one trusts him, Walter hates him...
Well, anyway, I'm not here for a recap. This past Friday's episode didn't weight heavily on my mind as I sat throught it. People killed in accidents and their counterparts killed by what appear to be the same accidents due to "retuning"...
It wasn't until I sat down and turned on the internet this afternoon that Fridge Logic set in. In the case of the first guy, we learn his counterpart was killed in a plane crash. Okay.
In the case of the girl in the taxi accident, we learn from her counterpart in the store that the taxi went into a river. How do we know this before setting eyes on the soaked taxi..? Because the room begins coughing up unexplainable amounts of water from god-knows-where.
Here's where I get miffed: Aside from the broken bones and organ trauma, there was no indication that the first guy died in a plane crash. Why then does this woman cough up sea water? Why not just suffer the symptoms of a person who is drowning? One might say the reason is because DRD is still perfecting this device and this experiment showed greater success than the last. But then why does the water only emit from her insides? Why isn't her whole body soaked in sea water as you would expect her counterpart had been based on the amount of water this one coughed up?
The fact is that the director or the writers screwed up on this scene. They shouldn't have included actual water being coughed up. Fringe isn't supposed to be trying to copy the X-Files. Sadly, it was just badly done.
That's my opinion... anybody have something to say on the matter (Fringe in general)?
