Fringe writers are at it again. Close calls happened throughout the episode; did Peter know? Or didn’t he? Until the very last second of the episode, we didn’t quite know; but methinks Peter doesn’t know, or, at the very least, what doubts he had were blown to bits by Altivia’s, erm, ‘intervention’.

One of the main themes in Fringe… Read More Creating a New Mind with a little help from Dana Scully and Peter Bishop
This is the most impossible review I have had to do in a long while. After last week’s interview with Fringe’s executive producers, Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman, I have become the most paranoid of fans.
