Fringe: 6955 kHz

April 12, 2015 1:50 AM - Season 3, Episode 6

"It's starting." Lost time and lost memory. Breakfast in bed. Walter spits the dummy. Numbers stations are totally a thing. The floating cube. Interesting use for a wa-wa pedal. Peter spits the dummy. The First People. Fauxlivia spits the dummy. Astrid figures it out. Initiate Phase Two.

You wanted to know more about numbers stations, didn't you? Not even a leetle bit?

"Time is just a matter of semantics" ~ Sam Weiss

We are not late to this or any Fringe fanfare post

We do not divide time between Six Nations, Rugby World Cup, ODIs, house moves, or unfortunate obsessions with BBC quiz shows like Pointless.

We are not elsewhere.

We are here.

We are always.

Love from FAKERSFIELD! and Faux-ny Jim

So we're playing catch up right now, going through past threads because LINEAR TIME HAS ONCE AGAIN BETRAYED US!!!!

We'll try keep up with season 3 even though we are also watching season 2 but this is all terribly appropriate considering.

Ha! She knitted a jumper which she doesn't recognise because the Numbers Station told her to. I told you it was all about Etsy.

I love the idea that the numbers were out there all along and that we only just discovered them. It's so creepy.

Oh, that Fauxlivia's a minx. Naughty, naughty alternate personality.

The First People/Sam Weiss is probably my favorite storyline from this show.

Also, I should have realised I was using an Australianism with my repeated "X spits the dummy". Hopefully you all worked out what it meant. Dummy = baby pacifier in Australian slang, so spitting the dummy means when a kid is having a tantrum and refuses to be soothed. I find it a very useful expression.

Some more cracks in Fauxlivia's facade.

Oh, Fauxlivia: you should never have nixed Newton. He had a much better handle on the mission than you. Classic bad managerial decision there.
