On business trips, business comes first. Whether I’m traveling on my dime or someone else’s, a business trip is for business purposes. Take care of business. But I also learned that it’s okay to get out of the hotel and enjoy the sights of a city while you’re there. I should have realized this by the behavior and encounters I’d had with my boss, but it took this encounter with Jim to help me fully realize it.

We are once again joined by frequent feedbacker Geoff (xforce11) for this episode as we discuss this absolutely incredible episode of Fringe, “The Firefly!” Listen in as we discuss how much we love Christopher Lloyd’s performance as Roscoe Joyce (keyboardist from Walter’s favorite band Violet Sedan Chair). We also reflect on the ties that this episode has to the season 3 finale’s cliffhanger as well as the themes of season 5.

In episode 44 I gave you a glimpse at the woman who would become my mother-in-law. She was wonderful on that day and she was a wonderful mother-in-law for the next 23 years. Last week was the two year anniversary of when we lost her. Today, I wanted to set aside this episode as a tribute to her. I’ve asked Dave, my father-in-law, my two brothers-in-law, Marc and Brian, and my wife, Kari, to send in contributions about her that share what they remember and miss most about her, what they want others to know about her, and what their grief process has been like.

I firmly believe we live in an age where it has never been easier to know the truth about God and his teaching, while also having never been easier to be deceived and led astray about God and his teaching. We hear something new, something that’s easier to swallow, less offensive, seems loving, or seems to bring a shiny new meaning to a passage that has been taught a certain way for generations. And too often we fall for it.

Joined by special guest co-host Pavla, we are so excited to be talking about this beautiful, Gothic, Frankenstein-esque horror story of a Fringe episode this week! We discuss some of the episode’s best scenes such as Olivia’s talk with Broyles when she returns to work, her breakdown in her apartment, and her incredible monologue at the end that should have (but, of course, didn’t) earn Anna at least an Emmy nomination if not a win.
