Walter Bishop Wishes You a Happy Fringemas

"We blew up a papaya/just like a girl's brain/and our formula stopped it/from happening again."

That's just one of many hilarious rhymes found in Fox's little holiday gift to us, a "Happy Fringemas" video narrated by Fringe's own Walter Bishop (who, incidentally, is holding his own right now in my Best New TV Character of 2008 poll). The video essentially retells the story of Fringe's first season so far — including some of the gory Pattern cases, so, uh, put that breakfast or lunch down before you watch — in the style of The Night Before Christmas, with plenty of Walter's trademark humor along the way.

It's a pretty clever little video, and it just got me excited all over again for Fringe's return in January — the show had a couple of strong episodes right before its hiatus, including a pretty big cliffhanger that I'm excited to see resolved on Jan. 20. In the meantime, to spread the Fringemas cheer, just read more.
