And we're back! Fringe kept us on the edge of our seats with a two-week hiatus, but things are moving along now that Peter's back in the equation. The theme running through this episode was "some things are not ours to tamper with," which was a famous quote from William Bell spoken to both Walter and Doctor Truss. Speaking of Bell, I'd love to know what led to his death in this version of the Read more
Friday night's episode of Fringe is arguably the best yet from season four. Not only do we see Walter's decline into madness and his attempt at redemption, but we're finally getting somewhere with this whole "Where Is Peter Bishop" business. On the downside, my new favorite character, Lincoln Lee, is totally MIA this episode, but there's plenty to sink your teeth in to. Talk about your favorite Read more
Good news Fringe fans — this season is shaping up to be the best yet. Not only have the past two episodes blended everything we've been missing (and loving) about this series all Summer — weird cases, alternate universes, and "Walterisms" — but now we finally get to see what happens when we ask the question" "Where is Peter Bishop?" This week's episode of Fringe brings the goods — Read more
Fringe is off to an amazing start! Last week we were introduced to a new (hot and geeky) Lincoln Lee, and this week we see a collaboration between the two Fringe Division teams on a case, forcing Olivia to work side by side (well, sort of) with Fauxlivia to solve a mysterious crime. I'm recapping my favorite moments in the slideshow — won't you join me? Photo courtesy of Fox Read more
Friday night welcomed the return of Fringe, but things just aren't right now that we're back in season four. Last season left us with the realization that Peter Bishop had been erased from everyone's memories (because he had been erased from time), but as we see in the premiere episode, he has left an imprint on time. Walter knows something is off, and you can feel it in the episode yourself. Read more
On this week's Fringe, we finally learn a little more about Olivia, whose private life has been mostly a big void until now. Also, a lot of living things explode, so if you haven't watched yet, I recommend you don't do so with food. Overall, I thought this was one of the stronger episodes of the series. Do you agree? To talk about it, just read more Read more
After a debate-related break, Fringe returned with an episode that falls somewhere between the first three installments and the especially eerie fourth episode. We're back to a mystery Walter can solve and a case with obvious implications — but there's enough creepy stuff going on with Olivia and Agent Scott, and enough hints about the greater story of the show, that it kept my interest. If Read more
Just when I was afraid Fringe was getting too formulaic — already — the show delivered an episode that broke the mold. The mystery isn't tidily wrapped up at the end, the good vs. evil of Massive Dynamic isn't even a subplot, and Peter Bishop's actually given a reason to stick around! I wonder if the powers that be just wanted to give us a few episodes to get used to everything, because Read more
The third episode of Fringe delivered a new mystery while nudging the overall story arc forward just a bit. I'm starting to get a handle on the basic structure of the show, and I'm not sure it's going to work for me long-term — it seems like in their efforts to deliver a less-confusing show, JJ Abrams and company might have made things too simple. Then again, maybe I'm just being lulled into Read more
After last week's super-sized premiere of Fringe, Tuesday's episode was the first chance to see what the show might look like on a weekly basis. Well, sort of. There was a lot of clunky recap in this episode, most of it crammed into the first 10 minutes. ("And now we're working with Walter Bishop, a scientist with questionable ethics who up until recently was institutionalized in a mental Read more
