Brown Betty: A Musical Mystery







Brown Betty has got to be my all time favorite episode of Fringe!  It was (get ready for my favorite word) AWESOME!!!!



First of all I just loved the style!  It was like a 40s/modern mix.  I loved the hair, make-up, clothes, hair, the colors, and, probably most of all, the electronics.  When I first saw Olivia on her cellphone I was perplexed.  Then I saw the laptops and stuff and was like, "this is soooo cool!!!"  I also really liked the polka dot cow....not gonna lie!




I really enjoyed the way they used the idea of a musical.  Since it was a story Walter was telling Ella (and he was all "brown betty-ed" up) it made sense that they would randomly burst into song.  I loved that it was not in a cheesy Glee/Once More With Feeling/legit musical way, but more of a Fringe/Walter way.


I also loved that the episode was pretty much a total stand-alone episode.  Some of my favorite episodes of Buffy are stand-alones (Superstar, Hush, Restless, Fool For Love, Tabula Rasa, etc.) but not every show can pull off a good stand-alone episode.  I felt this one was exceptional.




Lastly, I'm so glad that Peter was in this one and that he and Olivia were all flirty in Walter's story (I think he wants them to get together as much as I do! hahahaha)  I loved the little fight scene in the house Peter was staying in, and I LOVED the "For Once in My Life" performance by Olivia when Peter was dead for a little bit.  I'm so sad that Peter ran away...so sad!

So, that's all...I have to go to work now!  Ciao!
