    After a not-so-arduous workout, I watched:

    Nothing.

    Fringe S4E06 'Subject 9'

    IMDb sez: "The Fringe Division begins to wonder if Peter or his presence
    is behind a series of time displacements between 2007 and 2011. Walter
    imposes a self-exile to his bedroom."

    The glyphs for this episode spell out: LIVING

    Stephen Root and Romy Rosemont, who play husband and wife Raymond and
    Kate in this episode, are also married in their off-screen lives.

    In the lab, Water comes out to make a baloney sandwich. As he heads
    back, he takes "Carroll's Cosmology" from Peter. This is an actual book
    by Sean Caroll, a renowned cosmologist.

    Phillip Broyles: [referring to Peter] We need to get him back to the
    lab. I want Dr. Bishop to run those tests immediately.
    Olivia Dunham: Walter is refusing to do ANYTHING that involves him.
    Phillip Broyles: Dr. Bishop doesn't get to choose which cases he works
    and which he doesn't. It's his job to investigate fringe events, and
    until something suggests otherwise, HE is a fringe event.

    Dr. Walter Bishop: Astrid! I need a computer battery - and a spool of
    copper wire! And a climbing harness! And-and-and some rubber cement.
    I'b... ib... I think it's in my Spiderman fanny pack.

    Astrid Farnsworth: This goes into your neck.
    Peter Bishop: 'Course it does.

    Sorry. Got distracted today by errands and such.

    Yesterday, I watched:

    soaps: DOOL - Wed's ep(?). We were spared John stuff today. Instead,
    they shifted back focus to the "teens". Doug III tries to keep Ari and
    Holly from finding out that he boffed the former and is sweet on the
    latter. (They act like Ari and Holly know each other well, but I don't
    think we've ever seen them as children onscreen together!) Later, Doug
    III goes to Leo Stark for help with his necklace and illicit loan
    payback troubles. And apparently Rafe is back (they didn't write him
    out!) - he will be working for the FBI out of Salem!?!

    Incidentally, as I'm off "going into the office" work right now, I have
    been watching the CBS soaps - B&B, Y&R and Beyond the Gates ("BtG"?!?) -
    some too ("live"!). "Beyond the Gates" isn't bad, though with a definite AA-character focus. B&B is the same ridiculousness. Y&R is still dragged
    down by Victor and Nikki, and is now missing Summer.

    School Spirits (Pee+) - Ep's #2.5 & 2.6.
    First, the living gang has "dinner" with "Maddie" (really Janet
    Hamilton in Maddie's body) and Maddie's mom - it doesn't go great, and
    it goes worse when Simon overtly confront Janet. So they decide to
    kidnap her!!
    Ghost Maddie is all bummed out that Janet is living Maddie's life
    better than Maddie did.
    Mr. Martin has taken over the body of Mr. Anderson, which means Mr. Anderson is now exiled with Maddie and the ghosts.
    After kidnapping Janet-as-Maddie, Simon eventually convinces Janet
    to give up Maddie's body. But then Mr. Martin-as-Mr. Anderson shows up
    to confront Janet when the others are distracted!
    Meanwhile, when "Maddie" disappears again, Maddie's mom falls off
    the wagon.

    Sins of My Husband (LMN) - This new 2025 flick opens with Juliette Hawk
    (teen actress who's been in other Lifetime flicks) being held captive by
    a serial killer. But she manages to escape, around the same time that
    her mother (Alaina Huffman) and dad figure out who the serial killer is. Upshot: The cops kill the serial killer, and the girl is free.
    Now, because this all happens in the first 15 minutes, and because
    the focus shifts to the killer's beaten down wife (Hayley Sales) who
    claims to have known nothing about her husband's serial killing, we know
    there is more going on here!
    At first, Alaina Huffman's character seems sympathetic to the serial killer's wife, who is being persecuted by the rest of the town. But,
    again - there wouldn't be a movie here unless there was more going on.
    And it doesn't take a genius to figure out what's really going on.
    So, this was OK. But it was pretty obvious where it was going from
    the get-go, so there really was no suspense here.
