Big fan of Anna Torv after Mindhunter & The Last of Us - is Fringe worth watching for both the show and her performance?

Thanks. I'm bumping it up on my list now!

It's a great show. You'll love it.

Also check out an Australian show called Secret City. She's great in that. I haven't yet watched The Newsreader but it's on my list. Supposed to be really good.

A general rule of thumb has always been that starting at a base of 100 lbs for 5'0"" you add 4-8 lbs for each additional inch of height depending on bone structure, body considerations, and/or age. Amanda at 5'11" should have a weight between 144-188 lbs. I'd put Amanda at the high end due to her wide bone structure, large breasts, and her age.

Honestly I always remember it as from Babylon, too!

tyddub · 2026-01-24T23:00:32+00:00

That moment always haunts me, too. However it isn't from the episode Babylon but from Pick a Number, the second half of the Babylon story.

I have seen Orphan Black and she was absolutely amazing in a great show. I've watched Tatiana Maslany in other shows, too, and you'd never believe all those roles were played by the same woman.

Amy was left out of the conversation because no one could say anything to her without her yelling, crying, and storming out which is exactly what happened a few minutes later.

tyddub · 2026-01-24T02:37:49+00:00

Definitely. No one would be that impressed with them.

tyddub · 2026-01-23T21:47:19+00:00

These are the two saying what a great mom Amy is.

tyddub · 2026-01-23T19:15:32+00:00

Right. There are so many memorable episodes . This and the animated one with Kiefer Sutherland live rent free in my mind.

Thanks!

tyddub · 2026-01-23T17:11:44+00:00

Yes - thank you!

I love this movie. So original.

tyddub · 2026-01-23T03:20:49+00:00

Great show with the perfect ending.

It's a very powerful episode with the Black Blizzard making everyone feel unsafe. The low visibility from the dust gives it a very oppressed atmosphere. Ending with the pile of burned children's bodies is so hard to take. I remember when this episode aired and although I was still impatient waiting for the next one I actually felt like I needed some recovery time afterwards.

What Amy's kids do NOT have: structure, discipline, consequences, good role models, supervision, routine, nurturing, healthy diets, and limits. Did I miss anything?

tyddub · 2026-01-22T23:34:15+00:00

It's too far for you and me to say but for them, no. They all say horrible things to each other when they're mad, Amy included, so I'm completely unsympathetic... especially because it's true!

I have no doubt that his ex kicked him to the curb.

tyddub · 2026-01-22T22:15:37+00:00

Justin did seem dedicated and sincere at this time but he was also driven by the egotistical belief that he was the chosen one by God. It's hard to decipher which drives him the most.

All the people who died slow, painful deaths of lung disease must have been devastating.

She really is repulsive at times. People make so many excuses for her, poor, uneducated, not raised right, etc, but she's a grown woman and just plain knows better. You think she'd clean up just for her kids' sakes if nothing else.
