It was rather amusing, watching this episode of Fringe and simultaneously reading the reactions of viewers on online forums and in chat rooms.

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 TV Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 6: Earthling
