Got my contributor copies of Lilith Unbound (not sure why it has Stephen Sullivan as the sole author) and the August 2008 Scifaikuest in the mail this week. Shiny!

Everything Else

Anybody else watching Fringe? My DVR failed to record the last 20 minutes of Tuesday's episode, so if anyone can tell me what happened with good ole Roy, I'd be much obliged.

Grats on contributor copies!

Can't help with Fringe. I only caught the first episode.

Amazon.com lets you submit up to 10 names for anthology contributors. For some reason, they've been hopping randomly around the list. So far three authors have been credited. If the pattern continues, it's only a matter of time before everyone gets his moment in the sun.

Oy gevalt.

I'm not sure which bits of Fringe you missed, but after Peter and Olivia recovered Walter's uh, brain probe thing from his old house in Cambridge, they drilled a few holes in Roy's head and zapped his brain a few times until he could hear the "ghost network" instead of seeing it.

They found out that someone was using the "network" to set up some sort of drop off at a train station. The transmissions in Roy's head are in Latin and Astrid translates something to the effect of "it was on her the whole time" and gets the location of the drop.

Olivia gets to the station and sees two men passing a brief case. One of them is the DEA agent who identified the body at the beginning of the episode and I don't think we've seen the other guy before.

The DEA agent gets shot and killed by the guy he passed the case to and Mysterious Bad Guy #2 steps in front of a bus to avoid getting apprehended by Olivia (after a chase scene, of course)

They find a small plastic disk on the dead bad guy and Olivia realizes that the DEA agent actually cut this out of the woman's palm when he was mourning her at the beginning of the episode.

Walter has no idea what the plastic disk is, Roy is relieved that the bad guys have stopped broadcasting on the compromised network in his head and the episode ends with Broyles passing the disk to the woman from Massive Dynamics.

The lab guys at Massive say something about using the disk to break the encryption and they show the dead agent from the first episode in some sort of chamber and they're downloading (uploading?) something to or from another little plastic disk.

I hope that made at least a tiny bit of sense.

Ah, thank you!!!!! They were just starting to zap Roy when my DVR cut out.

I figured there was something fishy with the DEA guy -- the camera spent a little too much time on him holding the dead agent's hand.

I just hope they don't spend the whole season being manipulated by Massive Dynamics. I think that will get old fast.

You know you can watch full episodes on Fox.com? My wife is addicted to Biggest Loser, so that's the only way I get to watch Fringe.

I hate watching things on the computer. Unless it's very short, there's always a lag that makes me want to chuck the whole darn thing out the window.
