Fellow Fringe fan and my dear friend Monica was right; reviewing this episode was quite the trippy experience, for lack of a better word. Most of this episode was enhanced by Walter taking LSD giving this exploration of his guilt and fears a very unique taste typical of this sort of ‘special’ episode Fringe is… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 9: Black Blotter
More frustrating than looking for the pieces of a puzzle is having the pieces and not knowing what to do with them. This pretty much sums up the 10th episode of the fifth and final season of Fringe, as the team, having found the child Observer now known as Michael, tries to figure out how… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 10: Anomaly XB-6783746
As someone who writes, I am often asked which of my posts, short stories, or books are my favourite. I have to be honest – it’s a hard question. I usually answer that my favourite is the latest one, because it just happens to be akin to the sum of all my efforts throughout the… Read More Fringe‘s Executive Producers on “Entrada,” the Changes at Hand, and the Love Triangle – Part II
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
