Rewatching Fringe - 1st season

Fringe is the most incredible series that anyone could made!  And rewatching it is so great than the first time I saw, but a little bit cooler 'cause now I can see things that I didn't see before.
I could make a review about the episodes, but I won't, because I know nobody will read this, so whatever! I will put here some topics that summarize the season and the feelings by rewatching this season... some question didn't asnwered in 1st season and I can't remember if all of them are answered until the 4th season, so I will put them here, too. If anybody read this: have spoilers!

- So, after all, John didn't betrayed Olivia or FBI, in fact he's working in a secret case to get Conrad (the biogeneticist that made the other agents, who working with John, transform in monsters). *It's so cool the last name of Conrad be Moreau! Moreau is a scientist, from the book 'The Island of Dr. Moreau', that transform animals into humans (or something likely humans)... I am reading this book right now and don't know that this name appeared in Fringe. This made this show so much cooler to me, cause I love the H. G. Wells' books!*
- When John dies, he says to Olivia asks to herself why Broyles choose her for that job, that investigation from the fly 627. Broyles don't says anything about that until the final season.
- When Jones ~ activates ~ Olivia is so cool, and discover about the drugs tests by Bell and Walter, the Cortexikids, that Olivia was one of them, the appearing of Nick and the twins who burn... amazing!
- ZFT, and all the stuff about soldiers and the reasons to activate the Cortexikids and all the stuff about the alternative universe that is talked about in the last two episodes... awesome!
- Fringe is amazing, cause all the episodes links with the main story... the equation that goes to the equipment to cross walls, then the walls crossed to get parts of the teletransport equipment that teletransported Jones from Germany's prison to Boston, to talk to Olivia and activate her. 
- The explication of deja vù.
- The season finishes with Olivia in the alternative universe talking to Bell... and despite I watched before and know what happened in the main story until the 4th season, I wanna watch the 2nd season as soon as possible, cause I wanna see the details the same way I can see in the 1st season right now. 

This text is a mess, and I will come back to write my impressions in it and, maybe some quotes, but this all for now.
Cheers.

TV series

One of the things that I love the most is watch TV series. 
I think I watched series my whole life... Not to mention the children's series like Mundo da Lua and Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum, I remember to watch, when I was a kid, Full House, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Malcom in the Middle, Friends and, of course, Chaves. So my love to TV series started early, but, in this age, I watched some episodes in television, I didn't see the whole season and the story about the series. 
The first series that I watched the whole season was Supernatural. I watched the first season and loved that, but, I don't know why, the exhibition was stopped. Some time after, they exhibited the whole first four seasons, so I watched all the episodes and I couldn't wait for the next season (it didn't debut, yet). Supernatural was my first favorite series, but only until the fifth season, because this was the last season for real, for the whole story, but the producers made more seasons... the sixth was good, but very bad compared to the first fives, the seventh was bad, each episode alone was good enough to made me watch them, but the story from this season was bored and sloppy and they're making the eighth... I really don't know what expect for it, but I will watch. Summarizing I can say that Supernatural until the fifth season is one of my favorite series (the sixth ahead screwed up it). But, of course, that is only my opinion.
I've already watched many series and I could talk about them, or even about my favorites, but, I started this post thinking about my favorite series of all: Fringe. It was renewed to its fifth and final season... this is sad and beautiful in the same time, because, unfortunately, Fringe didn't have a big audience in the fourth season and because of this, the series almost was cancelled. It wasn't cancelled because of the fans of the whole world that, requesting for a new season, help to increase the audience over hashtags on twitter in each new episode, and as a gift get a new season. This fifth season will be smaller than the other four, but it was very well received by the fans, because we will have a true final, like the producers want to... it's so sad when you watch a series and it was cancelled without a final (like FlashForward *cry*), so we, big Fringe fans, are very, very happy for this smaller season: it will be smaller, but it exists!
The fifth and final season will started on September, 28th. Thus, I will try rewatch all the episodes until there... I don't know if I will be able, but I'll try to post here something about the episodes or, maybe, the seasons... I don't have much subject to talk here and I wanna go forward with this blog where I write and think in English, so I think this topic about Fringe (the episodes rewatched and the new episodes when they start) will be nice.

Cheers.

Introducing myself

Hello! My name is Michelle, I'm 21, I'm Brazilian and I'm studying Chemistry at UFABC since 2010. I have this dream about travel the whole world, so I have to learn languages! 
I have a level intermediate in English and I'm learning a little bit of basic Spanish. Besides, I will start a German course next week. I really wanna talk with people in English, but I can't do that very well, yet, because it's difficult think fast in another language... can you imagine how difficult should think fast in German? I thought that I can't do that! 
So, today I saw a video where a guy speaking about his experience with other languages. He's thinking that he never could speak Spanish (he's Irish and he's living in Spain), but one day, after studying in courses, reading books, studying alone and can't speak, he decides speak, even if he speaks almost every word wrong. And using this method he learned how to speak and then he learn about grammar and today he can speak a lot of languages. 
So I decide to try some similar. My English is poor, yet, and I think that is, mainly, because I can't think in English fast (as I already said). I can read very well, but writing is a little bit more difficult, because the words to use doesn't come to my mind... to speak the problem is the same, but writing I don't have problems if I delay.
I don't know if anyone will read this, but I will try to keep blogging to try to improve my writing and accelerate my thoughts. Besides I improve my vocabulary, right? And I hope this improve my speaking skills, too. I know the text is full of mistakes, wrong words and wrong grammar, but it doesn't matter, now. I'll do my best here. And if you read until here and you wanna improve your speaking, too, please let me know, we can talk together and if you have English as your mother language (I don't know if this is right to say, lol) and you wanna learn Portuguese, let me know, too, we could teach one to another. 


Cheers.
