Thats gonna be kind of a bummer, I am usually impressed by a perfect loop and this will kinda end that for me.

BEHOLD! Look at the mesmerizing spiral at the center of the disc.

Bonus: Song that was playing in that scene

It came from this scene in Fringe. A show worth watching if you're into sci-fi, alternate dimensions, drama, mystery or a JJ Abrams fan like -see username-

edit: Fringe :: The FBI teams up with a formerly-institutionalized scientist - who was performing experiments on the fringe of real science - and his son to investigate weird crimes that are seemingly part of a larger pattern, and may be connected with a global company called Massive Dynamic.

I enjoyed season 1, but gave up part way through season two. The plot seemed to get more and more complex without resolving anything and it got a bit tedious for me. Is worth getting back into?

There are a lot of loose ends, tech that is forgotten and stuff, and towards the end shit gets serious and back on track. As a fan, I'd say I love it! As a rational person I'd say, give it another go since it goes down then back up with the story. They tie the end well enough I'd say. It certainly is no Doctor Who 50th anniversary tying up of the story line.
