Spoiler central: Cas is back and looking a little worn. Bobby obviously took that deal...and Sam asks the questions that everybody else is too polite to ask. I love the whole scene...brilliant. I bet Jim and Mark had a blast with that...hahaha

Fair enough!

Oddly, I like your description of Fringe more than I like Fringe itself. I'm the opposite of you, I guess. I can take Supernatural's Angst but not Fringe's...but, that might have to do with different plot-styles.

I wasn't able to get into fringe. I could see why people could like it, but it didn't hook me. But then I kept hearing that a recent episode really knocked it out of the park- not even for fringe, just as an episode of television- so I checked it out. And you know, it was good. As were the next few episodes after it.

At least with the storyline they are playing with now, there's very little angst IMO, even though it might sound like there is. It's all done as tragedy. There's very little 'woe is me' and self-pity on Walter's part. He just accepts that he deserves it, which he totally and completely does. In a way, it's an old fashioned redemption story, in which it's not about forgiving himself. It's not about being able to accept forgiveness. It's about...him owning his sins without excuses or hope for redemption... and, (I think) totally undeserved mercy. Classical tragedy crossed with a tale of redemption. It's interesting.
