darchildreSo, okay, I'm rewatching Fringe with Mom and we are in the middle of season two. Which is fun, because sometimes I notice things that I didn't the first time.
Tonight, we watched Grey Matters, and yeah, the first time I watched it I noticed Stuart Gordon but mostly I thought, "Oh, well, it's a coincidence". But this time I also noticed that one of the hospitals was in Dunwich (you miss things like that if you don't actually look at the screen all the time), and that there was a Dr West and another patient whose last name was Crampton, and I put that together with the premise of the episode, which is very Shadow Out of Time, only the people making people suddenly insane/sane again are shape-shifting soldiers from another universe, rather than cone-shaped aliens from the distant past.
So, basically, the first half of the episode is a ginormous random Lovecraft joke. It doesn't go anywhere or do anything or culminate in anything important - it's just there. That is hilarious and wonderful.
I love this show so much, you guys.
Also, now I have the Darkest of the Hillside Thickets singing Some Things Man Was Not Meant to Know running through my head.
