Fringe

[shipperx]

I noticed last week that BtVS's David Fury was now listed as an executive producer of Fringe.  And this week Fury was listed as the episode's writer.   Overall the ep was :shrug:  but the end with Walter?  ::shudder::  Oh Walter. ::shudder::

Still on S2, but yes, David Fury is definitely show-runner of Fringe now. He tweeted about it - when Terra Nova aired.

"I had nothing to do with Terra Nova, despite what the credits state. But I hope you are loving Fringe!" (or something to that effect. I don't follow twitter, but someone else who does posted it on my lj last week.)

Not so sure you'll want him as a show-runner though, look what he did to 24 (in its last two seasons).

He also once insulted her personally on a public forum! Seriously, that's the first thing I think about whenever I see his name, even now.

Heh. Yeah. There is that.

But I try to not remember it.

Do agree that his years on 24 kinda sucked though. (Well, the first year he was there it was awesome. Thereafter it sucked. I don't know that it was just his fault though).

his board posting style however... the worst.

Show runner? Are Orci and the other guy out? (Admittedly, I don't watch the credits all that closely. I just noticed Fury's name popping up last week).

I haven't seen the show, its DVR'd, because I'm still wading through S2.
So about a season and a half behind.

All I know is Fury has jumped on to Fringe, which isn't bad...he's actually a better writer than the guys already on it. And he's quite good at middle-aged male horror/angst. He'll like Walter, great character played by great character actor, much like he probably love Locke on Lost. In some respects Fringe may be a better fit for Fury than Buffy was.

Generally I think he's fine. There was nothing wrong with the episode. And I definitely saw (rather immediately) what he was shooting for with the young kid's involvement with the MOTW being something that evoked Peter for Walter and Walter's history with Peter. Though the final bit with Walter (which I went OMG, Walter is going to _________! the scene before it happened) sort of overshadowed everything else. That will no doubt be what that episode is remember for because -- yikes!

So far this appears to be the theme in every MOTW in S1 and S2, nice to know they are consistent.

Well, there's a twist to it this season, but I won't spoil it. :)

Eh, overall, I like Fury. (When it comes down to it, I think he got Spike better than Joss did.)

I haven't watched this episode but I'm going to hold out hope it's going to work out.

I don't think the ep was bad. Actually wasn't meaning it as any criticism of Fury. Just... you have to see the Walter scene. Once you do, you'll get the visceral shudder.

I just watched the episode question, and I now totally get what you were saying about Fury. Ouch and ugh. Poor Walter.
