Fringe fans, settle into your favourite couch; it looks like, yet again, the writers are going to take their time developing the storyline, delving into each characters’ psyche and exploring the differences in them created by Peter’s absence. While some might not like the slower pace, this lends to resolving the main question at hand… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 4, Episode 2: “One Night in October”
With the ‘reset’ in the Fringe timeline, it almost feels like we are watching a new show, rather than one triumphantly entering its fourth season. Which is why this is the perfect time to ‘reset’ the way I review the show. As the executive producers of the show often say, Fringe is as much about… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 4, Episode 1: “Neither Here Nor There”
One of the best written dances between darkness and light in recent television is the comparison of the two universes in Fringe. While we might have wanted to remain in the relative ease of black versus white, the production team has added so many shades of grey that it makes a discussion about ethics, such… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 13: “Immortality” Part II
Cockroaches. I hate them. With a passion. And so, a very unusual something happened to me while watching this episode of Fringe: I closed my eyes. Thrice. Once when a cockroach came out of the first victim’s nostril (shudder), once when Altivia had cockroaches crawling all over her (double shudder) and again when Silva pulled… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 13: “Immortality” Part I
While I was disappointed this episode “6B” didn’t turn out to be a ghost story in the end, one of my favourite genres, I totally loved the way the Fringe production team managed, in its own way, to explore the concept. Just think about it: the setting was typical to a ghost story genre (an… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 14: “6B”
Amidst rumours of cancellation and a after a huge wave of panic amongst fans, Fringe delivered yet another fantastic episode; “Concentrate and Try Again” touched upon both the human drama at the heart of Fringe as well as upon the overarching plotline. I loved this episode for many reasons. For one, I always love an… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 12: Concentrate and Ask Again
This latest episode of Fringe drops more hints and clues, and plot twists that indicate that we are again in for a crazy end-of- season ride. For the sake of my poor readers, my editors and I have decided post the review in two parts. The first part is meant to be more plot oriented,… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 11: Reciprocity
The final episode of Fringe before the Christmas hiatus left us hanging, just like such an episode always does. And, true to form, it leaves us hanging both with purely sci-fi related questions as well as questions regarding the human drama at the heart of the show. On her first case back on the right… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 9: Marionette
The return of Fringe after the Christmas hiatus was much anticipated, as not only the two universes seem to be bound on a collision course, but the fate of star struck lovers Peter and Olivia… OK, fine, they are not quite the star struck lovers, nor are they really lovers at this point, but whatever… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 10: The Firefly
I just. I can’t even. It’s like… Wow. This is the first time in quite some time that an episode of Fringe has left me speechless. I stared at the screen for a good ten minutes before reaching over and hitting the replay button. Then I did it again – at the end of my… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 8: Entrada
