What at first seems to be a relatively simple corporate espionage kidnapping and extortion scheme turns out to be a brilliantly intricate tale of family deception. Paralleling the lie that Walter Bishop and his son are living, James Carson, a top Massive Dynamic scientist, has been telling his son an alternate version of the truth.… Read More Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 7: Of Human Action
Fringe is back, and back with quite a bang; a monster-of-the-week episode featuring an entity that will make you watch the episode with your back to a wall, just to make sure nothing creeps up on you. Hey, you never know. The overarching plot is simple enough. It starts with a Russian cosmonaut who went… Read More Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 6: Earthling
I’m liking Fringe more and more. And no, it’s not a case of me trying to delude myself into making the task of reviewing it less tedious. Quite the contrary in fact — reviewing Fringe is becoming more and more fun. Wouldn’t Walter be proud. I have to admit that, during the first minute or… Read More Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 5: Dream Logic
It’s very satisfying to watch a show slowly grow into its full potential. Fringe’s first season was slow, and many stopped watching for various reasons.

I’m certain that during the coming season, I will click as to the real significance of a previous occurrence and feel totally ridiculous because of how long it took me to get it. Such… Read More Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 1: ‘A New Day in the Old Town’
Fox has done it: I’m officially a Fringe fan. I have been very wary of the show; the beginning of the season was intriguing enough that I kept watching even if Anna Torv (the actress playing Olivia Dunham) only seemed to be able to emote one thing (which would have been, at the time, nothing),… Read More And the voice inside my head welcomed me back to the crazy world of obsessive sci-fi fandom
I have a confession to make: I totally forgot about Volume 4 of Heroes starting this week. . I know – how shocking is that? I thought that maybe it meant that I was over the show, that it wouldn’t suck me right back in – but it did. Everyone together, on Aretha Franklin’s I… Read More Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 14, a.k.a. Volume 4, Episode 1 (this could get confusing)
