The Trailer Park

That'll teach me to ask more than one question at a time...

Edit: or rather, not to...

It was a series that was also released in cinemas as feature length films (and you can binge watch a series of films).

ah

Now if you'll forgive the accidental poetry...

I shall now begin my binge
of Fringe.


I've got a backlog of 50 episodes recorded so I'm sure my TV box will be delighted to see at least one getting deleted tonight.

Edit: Hmm, I never realised how many fake lens flares were in that show. Clearly JJ was doing that trick long before his Star Trek movies.

But was he doing it long before you?
Fringe was a good show, but I can't recall if I got to see all of it... Did it, like, have a proper and understandable ending?

That was my thought too when watching last night. They really did look as fake as the ones I paint. Unlike the nice yet overused CGI things in the Star Trek films these just looked like a bit of stock footage on a Colour Dodge layer. I've obviously got better at noticing these things over the years.

As far as I can recall the show did have a proper ending but it does get ever more convoluted in the later seasons with all the parallel universes.
In my memory the first season was the best before the show settled into the more serialized format but I may change my mind during this second viewing.

In my memory they might have only discovered the possibility of parallel universes.... I'm guessing it's yet another series they never "finished" on Swedish telly... Or I just plain missed it...

Fringe began in 2008, the Video Copilot Optical Flares plugin for After Effects wasn't released until 2010.

I suddenly feel like Banj has previously written a thesis on the history of lens flares and why they're bad.

And in my memory (which may be wrong) the parallel universe reveal was in the finale of season one when Mr Spock appeared.

... Prior to Easy Rider, lens flares were frowned upon and...
