This week’s episode of Fringe, “A Better Human Being,” was fast-paced an intense. Old Olivia returned (sort of), and Walter bonded with a mental patient (Of course!). Read my review at Badass Digest.

Lots of wonderful, crazy shit went down on last Friday’s episode of Fringe. It was one of the best hours of genre TV I’ve seen all year. Head on over to Badass Digest to read my review of the ep, “Welcome to Westfield.”
Alt-Astrid hopped universes and came face-to-face with her double on this week’s episode of Fringe. Check out my review of the episode at Badass Digest and dig on the awesome Astrid fan art above from the talented artist Natalie Nourigat.
Hey there, Fellow Fringies! Still watching the show? Of course you are! I thought last week’s episode, “Forced Perspective,” was just … OK. I loved watching Peter and Walter work together again, but Olivia’s reclusiveness is kinda getting tiresome, and the case-of-the-week felt a little too by-the-numbers. Want to read more of my unsolicited and poorly articulated opinions about the show? Check out my latest Fringe episode review at Badass Digest.
Badass Digest just posted my latest Fringe episode review. Enjoy, fellow Fringies:
This week’s episode of Fringe, the ninth one set in the alternate timeline, reminded us that Peter Bishop is the heart of the show. Peter is the force that brings the characters together, helps them get over their issues, and unites them for a greater purpose. Read more at Badass Digest.

This is a thing you want to do. I can tell.
I finally caught up with the fourth season of Fringe. I’m not sure what took me so long to start watching this great show again; viewing these first seven episodes back-to-back was a truly engrossing and satisfying experience. I’m enjoying the emotional and complex stories this new universe has to offer, and I’m growing more and more impressed with the main cast members, who are rising to the challenge of playing yet another version of the team we’ve come to know and love.
I figured this was a good time to write down a few quick thoughts about season four, now that the show is on break until the next year. (Next year! Ugh.) So let’s start by addressing one of the big questions of the season: Where the hell in the space-time continuum are we?
Remember how Peter looked all dazed and confused after he woke up in the future in last week’s episode? Well, that’s exactly how I looked as this incredibly compelling, if somewhat maddening, ‘Fringe’ season finale came to a close.
A million questions flooded my mind as the minutes ticked on. Questions like, “Why doesn’t Peter remember that he traveled through time?” and “How is it that the machine sent him 15 years into the future?”
I don’t think we got one straight answer to any of these questions before the episode was over. ‘The Day We Died,’ with its sad, stunning ending and its fuzzy “First People” plot resolution, only brought up more questions that won’t be answered until season four. Read the rest @ TV Squad.
First, there was mind reading, then inter-dimensional chaos, and now we’re time travelling to a post-apocalyptic future! Man, I love this show.
During season 3, ‘Fringe’ has truly grown from an ambitious mystery-of-the-week show to an epic and engaging sci-fi saga.
The events of this week’s episode solidified what the show has been hinting at from the very beginning: These characters are special, and they were brought together for a very important purpose. We’re still a little shaky on the details, but we’re certain of one thing: The fates of Peter, Olivia (and maybe even Walter) are undeniably tied to the survival, and maybe even the inception, of the world(s). Why else would the ancient machine only work for Peter? And why else would Olivia be the only one who could disable the machine’s force field? Read the rest @ TV Squad.
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel … tense.
This week’s episode of ‘Fringe’ gave us a lot to ponder as the team hopped out of Olivia’s head and back into the warring universes plot.
With only two episodes left this season, one big question still remains unanswered: Which universe will perish and which will prevail? Or — to add another question to the pile — is it possible for both worlds to somehow coexist without bringing harm to each other? Read the rest @ TV Squad.
