Fringe: The Equation

November 19th 2008 04:37


Well, Walter continues to get the absolute best lines of the whole cast. While that is very true, this episode John Noble shows a much wider acting range than just being humorous. It was written that way and he did not disappoint.

While this episode did not have the intensity of the last it was still very exciting with a compelling mystery woven in. The chick fight between Olivia and the supposedly dead girl was really cool and was a nice touch.


Also, once again, we get a big reveal at the end. I'm beginning to think that they are putting those reveals in to simply show what all the trouble was for. We the audience get to see the out come of the mystery, but Olivia and the rest of the team don't because, well, they saved the person they set out to save. Now that I look back they have done that several times, like last episode when the husband and wife talk about getting the answer of "little hill", from Mr. Jones, or in "The Ghost Network" when Broyles gives that disk, that was cut out of that Agent's hand after they died, to Nina Sharp.

Anyway, this episode was just about as good as the last one, it was just missing a little bit more intensity.

Fringe: In Which We Meet Mr. Jones

November 12th 2008 04:45


Well this episode is going down as the best one so far, in the series, in my opinion. So far, in the show, there hasn't been as much of an intensity or excitement that should be there. This episode changes that. There was a genuine intensity that really had me on the edge of my seat. The direction of this episode was just superb. It had great timing on everything, with perfect placement of the humor. The great editing also played a big part in making this episode much more thrilling than the others.


Also, it was subtle, but we get a big reveal on Peter's past when he remembers that his father used to do some experiments on him. I think that has something to do with what Walter said about Peter's medical history to Olivia. Now that I think about it, there was a lot of subtly in this episode. If you read my other posts on the other shows I review, you'll notice i use the word subtly a lot. I'm just a big fan of when a show does more showing, than telling.

And I kinda guessed the twist at the very end, but it was a lot bigger than i thought it would be. It was crazy, but it added a whole lot more intrigue to the show's over all plot.

Fringe: The Cure

October 22nd 2008 03:35


This show has a lot going for it. It has a compelling premise, strong, likable characters and great writing. Even though it has all of those elements it seem like, each episode falls just short of exiting enough.

That was still true for this episode, but at least it is heading in the right direction. This episode was a little more exiting than what the show usually is and there is a pretty intense scene toward the end. I was surprised to find myself on the edge of my seat for a few moments.

There is a great scene with Nina Sharp and Peter which, adds more mystery and intrigue to both characters. While I'm on that subject we also get some character development with Olivia and her past. It explains a lot about her character and what kind of person it made her.

Fringe: Power Hungry

October 15th 2008 03:55


Well this episode get a big fat MEH, from me. I still like this show a lot over all, but this episode was pretty lackluster. The premise for the episode was promising enough, but I thought it got a little silly when they brought the pigeons on. The end was very good though, after the case had been resolved. I think that redeemed the episode from going from lackluster to dull. The over arcing character story lines need to get more in depth, in my opinion, if they want solidify their fan base

Fringe: The Arrival

October 1st 2008 03:45


Every time I start watching a new show I wait for the episode that presents the audience with something that really roots their interest in the show. Something that makes you say "Things just got interesting" I believe this was that episode for Fringe. It was for me anyway

Fringe:The Ghost Network

September 24th 2008 04:00
The team investigates some more crazy stuff


I was hoping for a little bit more progress with the underlying story and character arcs, that have already been presented to us the audience, but this episode is pretty self contained. However we do get a little of info on Agent Scott's fate at the end. We're also teased a little bit on what kind of relationship Broyles has with Nina Sharp and Massive Dynamics. They're obviously working together, but to what end, we aren't told. This episode tossed out a lot of questions

Fringe: The Same Old Story

September 17th 2008 03:47


Compared to last week's explosive premier I though the follow up was a little slow. However I do think that this episode does a better job of showing the audience what the show is really going to be like

Fringe Series Premier

Just say no to drugs


I was lucky enough to stumble across an advanced screening of the pilot episode of Fringe. It was one of the strongest pilot episodes I've ever seen. It's basic premise deals with Fringe Science, stuff that is on the verge of break-through. It's not just dealing with fantastical science but science that could become reality very soon
