TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 19 : Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, Part I

June 12, 2013
Fringe

The 19th episode of the Fringe‘s third season is, as the name implies, quite a trip. Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) is a powerful hallucinogenic semi-synthetic drug that induces psychotic symptoms similar to schizophrenic episodes.  It is no coincidence that this drug is the choice for Walter and Bell’s experiments. The drug is a perfect cast… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 19 : Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, Part I

TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 8: The Human Kind

January 3, 2013
Fringe

It is becoming harder and harder for me to review episodes of Fringe, knowing that the end is nigh. I realise that the writers are doing a good job with the time limit they have. But I worry that I will be so disappointed by the finale, scheduled to air on 18 January, that it… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 8: The Human Kind

TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 7: Five-Twenty-Ten

November 30, 2012
Fringe

Only in Fringe would two beacons, a silent bald kid, a toxin that hideously melts flesh, and another one that horrifically closes all orifices all have in common the future of humanity. In this, the seventh episode of the fifth and final season of the award-winning show, we continue following Walter, Olivia, Peter and Astrid… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 7: Five-Twenty-Ten

TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 6: Through The Looking Glass And What Walter Found There

November 17, 2012
Fringe

The sixth episode of the fifth and last season of Fringe seems to mark a return to the show’s roots. We were treated to an episode that seemed to finish only mere minutes after it began, a distinct sign of a great hour of storytelling. In sharp contrast to the previous episodes, there was not… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 6: Through The Looking Glass And What Walter Found There

TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 5: An Origin Story

November 10, 2012
Fringe

And voilà: Fringe seems to have bounced back. I hate to admit it, but Etta’s death last episode did seem to bring a je ne sais quoi back to the show that had been a little lacking in the last couple of episodes. My friend Monica is completely right in saying that with Etta’s death,… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 5: An Origin Story

TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 4: The Bullet that Saved the World

November 3, 2012
Fringe

I took a bit longer than anticipated to watch last week’s episode of Fringe, “The Bullet that Saved the World”. An avid Twitter user, I understood from the tweets of fellow Fringe fans that something bad would happen, and I wanted to delay the inevitable. Etta’s death, while adding a layer of emotional complexity to… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 4: The Bullet that Saved the World

TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 3: The Recordist

October 27, 2012

Regularly throughout the television season, fans are pushed to the side to fulfill the needs of sports geeks. This left Fringe fans hanging last week, but while many were not happy to be given a week off from the show, I was quite happy to have an extra week (and a couple of rewatches) to… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 3: The Recordist

TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 2: In Absentia

October 10, 2012

The thrilling ride that is going to be Season 5, as humanity continues to fight the rule of the Observers (and, hopefully, win), continues in this, only the second episode of the season. I say “only” because so much has happened in the span of a mere three episodes – “Letters of Transit” from Season… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 2: In Absentia

TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 1: Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11

October 6, 2012

Welcome to the future. And I agree with Walter: it doesn’t look all that good. The fifth and unfortunately final season of Fringe opens in 2036, a future caught in the ruling fist of the Observers, who have turned out to be anything but passive. I have to be honest; while Season 4’s episode “Letters… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 1: Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11

TV Review: Fringe, Season 4, Episode 6: “And Those We’ve Left Behind”

December 18, 2011

Stephen Root and Romy Rosemont, real-life spouses, star as on-screen husband and wife Raymond and Kate in the sixth episode of Fringe’s fourth season, very reminiscent of last season’s 14th episode, “6B”. In both episodes, a grieving spouse is reaching out to their other half, mindless of the consequences of their actions, intent on reestablishing… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 4, Episode 6: “And Those We’ve Left Behind”
