Chicken Wings and the Radioactive Jerk

After a very long delay and a hiccup last week where Fox aired a repeat episode unexpectedly (forcing us to eat chicken wings and pudding for no reason), we actually managed to watch a new episode of Fringe.

As Walter mentioned chicken wings in the last episode, that's what we had -- boneless chicken wings that one of our members actually refused to eat this time around. There was some debate as to whether this was permissible, but since she ate a couple last time, we decided to let it slide.

We also had some butterscotch pudding, because Walter was seen eating some. You wouldn't think chicken wings and butterscotch pudding would go together, but, shockingly, you'd be wrong.

This week's episode involved a teenage girl who was declared brain-dead and woke up mid-organ-harvest, just after I was done eating my chicken. (I swear they time these things on purpose.) Even weirder, she starts repeating numbers and letters, which turn out to be someone's military ID and some classified launch codes.

Both the ID and the codes turn out to belong to some Navy guy who has gone missing, and further investigation shows that he was involved in a reactor accident that resulted in him being irradiated. He was given some highly experimental anti-radiation treatment that resulted in him 1) not dying, right away at least, and 2) acquiring the ability to possess teenage girls.

He's also not very nice, resulting in the teenage girl talking in a deep threatening manner and nearly setting a Russian brunette on fire (do not try this at home).

The only thing that Walter explicitly mentioned this week was a beverage, not a food, but Peter and Olivia did share a meal together, so we'll be taking next week's food cue from them.
