I'm halfway through the final season of Fringe, and I am trying so hard to reserve judgment until it's over, but I'm really disturbed by it. I just keep tilting my head to the side and frowning at the screen. :/

Anyway, the utmost serious business. House of Anubis: The Reawakening season three week one rewatch liveblog.

I was so baffled by the opening credits until I realized that they were alphabetical. Like, I was really worried at first that Joy was going to be the main character this season.

"Dad!" lol, Eddie and Sweets will never stop being the most adorably awkward family. Anyway, Eddie's hair's looking nice.

"Jerome!" Yuck. Or, as Eddie says, "Gross." I agree, Eddie, I agree so hard that hugging Mara must be disgusting.

Patricia hiding because she doesn't want to see Eddie. :( And then Alfie covering for her so she can make her way home without bumping into him. Awwww, Alfie. If Alfie weren't infatuated with Patricia's sister, I'd 'ship that.

"Oh, oh my lovelies, back again!" I know, Trudy, I felt the same way.

I am still so confused by Alfie and Amber and whether they're supposed to be together. This show generally lets you know what's going on, but they're acting so confusingly. The hug, and Amber wanting to know whether he'd missed her, but there's nothing stated for sure.

Amber says that fashion school was "fashionating." God, I love her.

Jerome is even skinnier than he used to be, I swear.

Patricia is wearing so much jewelry that she jangles when she shrugs.

Eddie had a daymare, kjaskdjasklda, best word since fashionating.

Victor is super psyched about the 9th of the month, but nothing happens.

I MISSED THIS THE FIRST TIME. Okay, when Alfie accused Patricia of hiding in the courtyard, she said, "I'm not hiding, I'm hanging." And then later, when Fabian says that Eddie was hiding, he says, "I wasn't hiding, I was hanging." WHY AREN'T YOU TWO STILL TOGETHER, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED BETWEEN OVER BREAK.

Amber's all, "If someone treated me like that, game over!" and Alfie laughs along with the others and then frowns. So they are together? jkalsdjklasjdklsa show, fuck, don't start being subtle now, I've become accustomed to having you spoon feed me everything.

Horrible writing/directing decision in this scene, imho. Jerome cares way, way too fucking much that Nina's not coming back. Considering she'd never been anything but shitty to him, I am perplexed that he cares. UNLESS. Unless he knows something, too, and is faking it for everyone else's benefit. But again, that's not the type of show this is, and the further down you scratch for meaning the more off-course you get.

Mr Sweets is all, "I thought we were going to have to put the new American girl down in the cellar," and Victor totally stone-cold Hotch-faces him. Not funny, Sweets, that's where we keep the ancient sorcery.

Hey, remember that time Victor was on Game of Thrones, only he was playing a nice guy who cared about other people.

Mara, if you want your suitcase carried properly, do it your damned self. Or at least pick a boy to do it who isn't emaciated.

Fabian crying. <3 He cried this one time in season two, when he thought Nina was dead, and now he's crying because she won't come back to England to be his gf, and kjasdkjsakl it's all bad.

Willow, LOL, I can't even. Is she as ditzy as she seems, or is she secretly trying to get in on the mysteries and treasure and such? We shall see. Also, haha, "Is it true that this place is, like, totally haunted?" and Mara looks at her like she's, well, ditzy, but the joke's on Mara because she is the only person living in the house who was too self-absorbed last term to notice that, yes, it is, like, totally haunted.

"I'm in a triple at the moment," Mara said, bitchily. Actually, that's her default adverb. I can't believe we lost chunks of cast and that loser's still around.

Meanwhile, Jerome, who used to be so infatuated with Mara, is tired of being yelled at about luggage and spends the remainder of these episodes stalking Eddie and Fabian instead.

God, I hope Joy gets a boyfriend this season, because I'm tired of her obsessing over other people's relationships. Jerome is entirely too amused by Eddie's pain in this scene, too. You hear him laugh in the background, then he coughs and they show him trying to hide his smile from Eddie. Oh, Jerome, how quickly you've forgotten the pain caused by fickle teenage girls.

Fabian's losing his shit. And Alfie and Jerome have the best body language on this couch. They're, like, fifteen minutes and a little drowsiness from playing footsie.

Oh hey there KT. I am sorry that your bad timing and Eddie's poor wording have made you the newest target of Patricia's wrath. Sorry that you're going to get something poured on you any day now. And it's sad, because Patricia makes a joke and everything before Eddie starts acting like a spaz, and they could have been friendly but Eddie accidentally sounds like he's hitting on her, and Trixie is not happy.

VICTOR SAYS IT IS TEN O'CLOCK AND YOU HAVE FINE MINUTES PRECISELY AND THEN HE WANTS TO HEAR A PIN... DROP. God, if I ever have kids, I am seriously doing this. Okay, not really.

Victor: "There has to be mail!"
Amber: "I know, right?!"
LOL, the one and only time these two have ever been united by anything. Also, Victor, did you not get delivery confirmation on your priceless relic? Gosh.

Alfie, unlike the others, really did not know it was her birthday. But they're maybe dating? I don't get these two, kajsdklsaj, ugh.

Ew, Jerome and Mara, stop touching.

Why does Alfie ever trust Jerome anymore, hahaha, bacon-flavored dental floss, this show is the best.

Miss Denby will be teaching history and business ed this year, and if business ed doesn't lead to some Jerome&Alfie scammy hijinks, I will be sorely disappointed.

Haha, Patricia won't let Joy clap for KT. Who is from Pennylvania, fyi, so she's automatically in my heart.

Family trees? That's not a horribly painful project for many people. It's not like everyone in this room has either dead or absentee parents. And Joy, of all people, is all, "Ooh!" but seriously, Joy, your own fucking father sold you out, how excited could you be about family?

"KT, do you happen to know Nina Martin?"
"Nina who?"
"Nina Martin. She's American, so..."
"You know America's huge, right?"
haha, thank you. I thought this earlier in the ep when Fabian asked whether Eddie say Nina at the airport. Like, which airport, at what time, you silly boy.

haha, when Fabian explains that Nina's not coming back, KT says, "Do you think that she might have, well...?" and Fabian's all exasperated and "Why is that the first thing everyone thinks of?!" (I get it, Fabian. If I'm grumpy at work, especially on a Monday morning, I have to deal with co-workers asking whether my boyfriend's dumped me yet. I just got it again this morning for failing to smile at seven a.m.)

By the way, I don't buy that these faux facebook messages are really from Nina, because they're not exactly articulate, either. idk. But I love how quickly KT rattles off these break-up lines. Makes me want to know more about her backstory.

Jerome spends half this episode leaning in doorways to harass Eddie, I swear. And Eddie spends half the episode calling him Jerry. But Jerome's all "Game on!" because he loves messing with people. Little prince of chaos. <3

Miss Denby says to be careful with her freeze-dried lover, don't you movers listen?! Disappointed that freeze-dried lover is neither Jason nor Rufus. Want even more stuff to come full-circle.

"No parcel, just more irritating students." haha, Victor, ilu.

Jerome just, like, making trouble to make trouble. I'm so glad that Mara hasn't totally broken his spirit yet. :')

I know, Sweets, I want to know why Patricia dumped Eddie, too.

Okay, the way that Sweets freaks out about the family tree project. Having seen the trailer for the rest of the season, I have a pretty good idea of why, but it makes me SO ANGRY that he's still being a lying little asshole to Eddie.

Fabian can tell the letter's fake because it's full of spelling mistakes, but if you pause and zoom in then it's actually totally fine. Formatting sucks, but the spelling's fine. Mildly disappointing, since this show's usually awesome with details.

"Patricia, when Joy went missing, and no one believed you, how did you feel?" That works on Patricia, which is good, because I said it before Fabian did and I like that I know these imaginary kids so well. :P

"Fabian's at the doctor, it's personal, I don't think I should say anymore." And now the entire history class thinks Fabian has an STI.

Victor, when are you going to make out with that nice Trudy already?

"Do you guys actually find this stuff interesting? I've had more fun cutting my toenails." But Patricia is scared of feets, which makes this either a perfect or a bizarre example.

MR SWEETS SAYS NO MORE FAMILY HISTORY, IDK WHY. I wonder whether she just picked a lame assignment, or if she actually knows and is trying to lead the kids to whatever Sweets doesn't want them to know. Hard to tell. Generally, though, I tend to assume that all the creepy adults are on the same side, so probably just that she's a boring teacher.

Eddie has Nina's locket. (Which you can't find a decent replica of online, btw.) Eddie and Nina have been emailing, and it sounds incriminating. And Patricia and Fabian lose it. But mostly Fabian.

"I refuse to get involved with politics on my birthday." ilu so hard, Amber. So Mara whines, gets her way about the room assignments, and now KT has to room with Patricia and Joy in the triple. But you know what, it's fine, because this way Mara will be even more out of the loop than usual.

Fabian's ready to murder Eddie. He's making murder rage face all over the place. And Jerome's there for all of it. All leaning in the doorway. And Amber does not even give a fuck, it is her birthday, okay, can we get back to the party now? And they all go, because if Fabian's gonna murder Eddie, well, that's just gonna happen, but there are presents to open in the meantime.

LOL, Victor gesturing with the crocodile. It is a very threatening taxidermied baby crocodile!

Well, at least Willow likes the headband Patricia bought Amber.

Nina, how the hell is the Osirian going to protect the Chosen One if the Chosen One is being all weird and staying away from the Osirian? Lame.

Victor, Sweets, just make out already. Keeping shit from each other isn't getting it accomplished any faster.

So, as everyone called half an hour ago, Amber ends up with Victor's priceless relic, and Alfie takes credit for getting it for her because he had a birthday fail.

Sweets is "The Seeker," and Victor is "The Great Enabler," whatever the hell that means. I can't wait until the kids totally pwn the grown-ups again. They do it without sounding half as dumb, too.

I want to read Nina's letter to Fabian.

Oh hey, Eddie's having more scary visions, good times. Shit's gonna go down this season, oh man. :D

Now, speaking of Hotch-face, I'm going to put on some Criminal Minds and clean my apartment at least a little bit.
