I forgot we met The Observer this early! West Virginia's own Michael Cerveris: a prolific stage actor. He played Sweeney Todd in the 2005 Broadway revival.
Yes, a Rootbeer Float is pop with ice cream. It has been a nice cool summer drink/dessert for around 130 years. When I first saw the Observer, I thought of Marvel Comics The Watcher.
Early Fringe opened up so many questions. Its actually crazy how much they set up even and how it will all get answered. They dont make shows like this anymore. Man I miss those times! Supernatural, Fringe, Person of Interest... so many shows had a real plan and were great at raising questions, forshadoing and Setup-Payoff storytelling. Good old times.
Root beer floats (root beer with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in it) are really really good. I had them often as a child and still like them a lot. You should try it!
I love that you mentioned Roswell because I love Roswell ❤ In general I'm enjoying you getting to know the characters! I think pointing out that Olivia is guarded is very accurate. (She feels different to me than JJ Abrams other badass female lead of Alias, but I might be deluding myself...)
@@Smido83 His names and all names like his are something usually represented by a number in our day to day life, if you replace the name by the corresponding number and take into account the "11" thing he asked you got the answer
The not feeling super connected with Olivia is on purpose. Her character is supposed to be a little stoic and keeping her emotions close to her chest. for now Also Charmed, Roswell , Buffy, Angel, Supernatural. All of my favorite shows are yours too? And now Fringe will hopefully do that. I do love the entirety of the show ❤ Have you seen 12 Monkeys?
For your info, each picture before the commercial is a code that spells out a common theme to each episode. You can research that on your own time if interested!
Without spoiling much, that bald guy might come back here and there in the future. Also "Yes", Root Beer and Coke floats are/were big things in the USA.
When McDonalds spread in the UK in the 80s, they served root beer and floats, they might be the first things they dropped from the menu, so I guess they dont have as much appeal here
Based on the reaction videos I've seen, Europeans seem to hate the flavor of root beer. I suppose they don't like it just as much as Americans don't like ginger beer. IMO, the best root beer floats use vanilla ice cream, A&W root beer, and a frosted glass mug. (A&W is heavy on the vanilla flavoring, so it really accentuates the vanilla ice cream.)
@@axebeard6085Root beer, and cream soda. At this point, it’s a bit of a meme. But I totally understand it. If you haven’t had it before, it probably would seem a bit strange.
Fyi, everyone told you about the Observers appearances, but just so you know, the bizarre images of apples, hands, frogs, butterflies,... with the yellow dot in different spots was a cryptic code back in the days, with a website involved.
Instant pause, straight to the comments hoping 99% of them are about that ice cream pop comment dakara just said because it broke my american hopped up on floats brain.
It doesnt sound like youve had a rootbeer float. Something happens when you add rootbeer to vanilla icecream. It creates this foamy creamy concoction. I dont k ow if its a reaction or a tempeture difference but it creates a new texture and creamy sweet taste. I hear that Rootbeer isnt as popular in a lot of EU countries as its a similar flavour to cold medicines (in the us, cherry and grape are used for those purposes) but im not sure if that applies to the UK and im not sure that flavour stays after whatever happens when you combine it with vanilla ice cream.
For me it tastes like a particular brand of toothpaste. Meridol, which doesn't taste minty like most other toothpastes but... well, like rootbeer apparently. 😅
@Nemshee oddly enough, my friend visits grandparents in Japan and he's mentioned that he's heard that specific thing a few times over there (that a good few people dont like it cause it tastes like toothpaste) leading to it being not as popular in parts of Japan either. It's funny how taste associations work ^.^
Holy crap. Just when I thought I knew all the cultural differences. I get that you don't do pb&j cause you have weird jelly but to learn that you don't have floats?!? Root beer float is the gold standard for summer treats. If you put it in a blender you get a black cow. You can do a coke float or other variation (orange soda works pretty well) but you can't beat a root beer float with A&W or Dad's root beer.
Most of those things are unavailable in the United Kingdom. They have Coke, obviously. And orange soda, but it’s a pretty recent thing. Floats are a pretty exclusively American and Canadian thing. Also, they don’t have “weird jelly”. Though I understand why you would think that. Most of what they eat (from I was told by fiends in Britain) is actually the American version of jelly, but they just call everything “jam” now. America had a strong canning at home culture, and they preserved the distinction between jelly, jam, and preserves. It’s just called “jam” everywhere else. Maybe we’re the weird ones. ;)
@@AKCFTWfloats aren't an exclusively American/ Canadian thing. They're super common in Australia too (usually called Spiders, but exactly the same). I would guess lots of people in varying countries grew up with them.
@@rhiannonlee7063 I knew they were a thing in some of the rest of the Anglophone world… I knew about Australia and New Zealand, but I honestly didn’t think they were very big there. It’s a cultural fixture here. But I stand corrected. I guess my point was that they’re not remotely a thing in the United Kingdom, or Ireland.
I usually defend the British pronunciation of words when Americans give them a hard time. I feel that it is we Americans that have bastardized the language. But aluminum is different. Aluminum was discovered and named by an American. When a British (English?) academic became aware of the discovery he thought it should rhyme with some of the other elements, so he changed the pronunciation. So, the American pronunciation is the original, and therefore the correct pronunciation. Now it's time for cookies and french fries.
Aluminum was not discovered by an American. The first production of it was by a German chemist, the first industrial production was by a French chemist, and the first large-scale production was developed in parallel between a French and an American engineer. Then an Austrian chemist improved the method of production. The first person to name it was a British chemist, Humphry Davy, who wanted to name it "alumium". A Swedish chemist said it should be called "aluminium", and in response, Davy suggested "aluminum". So, no, the Brits picked both names, and because they couldn't definitively pick one, one name came to America and the other stayed more prevalent in the UK. Who is the American you thought discovered aluminum?

Just so you're aware Dak. There is an Observer in EVERY episode. Can you find them all?
The real Fringe are the Observers we spot along the way.
Welcome to everyone's favorite Fringe game. Spot the Observer.
I didn't want to post it before because it is very easily considered a spoiler. Now that the introduction has been made... it's all good!
It's like 'where's Waldo'. Just spookier.
Does anyone want to try an explain to her the opening image code yet?
@@BassBumbassor “Where’s Wally?”, for the UK crowd.
Root beer is a soda. A root beer *float* is a root beer with ice cream floating in it, and it's delicious 😁
Good to know!
I forgot we met The Observer this early! West Virginia's own Michael Cerveris: a prolific stage actor. He played Sweeney Todd in the 2005 Broadway revival.
Seeing him at sporting events, before I saw this show, was ridiculously funny (in hindsight), and intrigued the hell out of me. The marketing worked.

Fan fact: The Observer appears in each and every episode of Fringe. So also in the first three. It is a fun game when you spot him.

I have watched this show start to finish 7 times. I have never caught that before!! Well done!

Have you seen 12 Monkeys?
Not seen 12 monkeys but it sounds like we have very similar taste so I might have to check it out
@@DakaraJayne 12 Monkeys is pretty cool.
12 monkeys is the best time travel series ever made.
It’s a perfect show imo. That and Black Sails are 4 seasons of masterful storytelling
Oh my god , i love you.... 12 monkeys is the most underrated tv show ever created... i wish it can make a comeback somehow
I am loving your reactions to this show so far.
Love that you're loving em 😄
Fringe Fringe Fringe 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Yeah I laughed a bit at what you said early on about Walter and Astrid's relationship, knowing what was happening soon in this episode 😂

Ice cream in pop is a float. It's very good. Mainly an American concoction that other countries find strange.
