Last night’s Fringe episode – Snakehead
Another non-pattern event – this was just some whack job herbalist that was implanting a worm into immigrants.
Yes it was neat to see the Alien like emergence, and sure Walter getting lost in Chinatown was fun…
But overall a weak episode, for which we haven’t got much of a review cause it wasn’t much of an episode was it?
Next stop: Cancellation.

Dollhouse Cancelled. FOX Fraks SciFi Fans AGAIN. November 11, 2009

It’s official. FOX is cancelling Dollhouse.
Is anyone surprised?
This is FOX after all, they canceled Firefly and from the very first episode (which was awesome), we knew the FRAKKERS at FOX had their fingers on the button to kill this show.
It’s bad enough the show is on hiatus for the whole month of November too, but the plan is have the full 13 episode second season.
Yeaah we’re pissed.
Then again, Joss Whedon kinda screwed us all over with Season Two so far hasn’t he?
Where is Alpha??? what the frak happened btwn the last episode of Season One and the Season Two episodes. Sure as standalone episode a few of them have been great, but continuity is a problem.
Maybe we’re wrong for blaming FOX, maybe we should blame Joss for not executing on the full vision and giving us the show his fans deserve.
Fringe – the Cosmonaut and the sandman November 6, 2009

Great to have Fringe back, and another fine episode.
So now we know the CIA and Russians have a play in the pattern too.
Somehow the cosmonaut that Broils shot is still alive and now in space somewhere with the ‘shadow’ with him – a really neat idea overall.
Is the Shadow related to the watcher? We’ll see.
Also really neat to see Broils on the family side, he always comes off as such a hard a$$, good to know he might not always have been that way.

What a great episode – Belonging
No that party was freaky and disturbing.
When they returned her to the creep, I though ok this is a sad sack ending. But then having Prija/Sierra kick the dudes butt? That was great.
How/why Sierra ended back in the dollhouse after that is a little bit iffy though. I mean why not just set her free? Then again she’s probably not equipped to live in society anymore – at not until Topher can set her totally free.
Overall a brilliantly written, plotted, acted and directed episode that had a great mix of flashback and current action. We were on the edge of our seat until the end. BRAVO!

Fox cancels Dollhouse from November schedule October 22, 2009

No it’s not a full cancellation of Dollhouse – but FOX is still messing things up.
Season Two has barely started and now FOX has pulled the show out of the November line-up . Technically it’s not a cancellation, it’s worse.
FOX is putting Echo and the rest of the Dollhouse…
IN THE ATTIC.
Joss Whedon however is still officially optimistic, but then again he was optmistic at one point that Firefly would return to FOX and we know how that worked out.
Here’s what Joss wrote.
Howzabout that schedule? Well, I’m not as depressed as everyone else. We weren’t about to rock sweeps anyway, and though there’s a chilly November, December is CRAZY. It’s like an Advent calendar of episodes! We get November to try to spread the word (which I’ll be leaning on Fox to do, though it’s hard to imagine them doing as good a job as the WhyIWatch guy) and then December is pure gluttony. Plus the episodes line up extremely well in these pairs, and we’ll have an absurdly appropriate lead-in.
Fringe Season Finale Shocker, Peter is really dead May 14, 2009

Alright not a spoiler anymore the show was on tuesday night…
Peter is really dead. How about that!! Walter had to pull him over from an alternate reality…but doesn’t that mean that someone else is missing Peter?
Neat to see Leonard Nimoy – albeit briefly and kind of eerie to have his office in the World Trade Center.
But hey we know this show has been renewed so in a few short months we’ll know what the frak is going on!

Last night’s episode of Fringe, The Road Not Taken
got rid of Olivia’s closest enemy agent Harris.
We had him pegged for being a douche but we didn’t see it coming that he was ZFT.
The whole firestarter thing was really cool too, i wonder if Olivia can do the same thing? Notice how in the room where they ignited the twin there was one of those light boards that ZFT uses to test recruits…so we’ll have to see
And nice shout out to Spock / Star Trek in this episode too…next episode Nimoy himself will finally appear.
Not sure how the Watcher fits in..but clearly Walter was expecting him.

Without a doubt Fringe is the best new SciFi show of the past year. The characters are interesting, deep and entertaining. The plots are well constructed and full of twists.
The pacing of the shows is great, without too much dead weight or prancing around.
We all love Walter and Olivia is well she’s just awesome.
Now Fox has officially announced that they have renewed Fringe for a second season..which is great news.
Fringe is not Sarah Connor Chronicle which isn’t a good show and likely will get cancelled by Fox.
Dollhouse on the other end is an excellent show and we here at ShowMeSciFi have our fingers crossed that Fox sees the light and doesn’t destroy another Joss Whedon production.

So ZFT is run by William Bell? RLY??
That was the big revelation in last night’s episode Midnight
, but another fine freak’ish scientific mix too.
The only cure for the vampire is spinal fluid..that’s one that i hadn’t heard off before.
Clearly this show is headed toward one massive season finale.

Last night’s episode Bad Dreams
So we know that Olivia (or should we call her Olive?) was experimented on as a child..now we know it was Walter and Leonard Nimoy who were directly involved!
Amazing how everything comes back to Walter in this show? It’s actually a little annoying at this point.
How can the whole be pattern be about Walter?
Then again Walter is a whack job…and a character that we all love.
Great to hear the voice of Leonard Nimoy in this episode too...soon enough we’ll see him as William Bell founder of massive dynamics

Last night’s episode of Fringe, titled the Inner Child
oh and great to have the show back after its two month hiatus too.
So who was the boy? Is he a ‘little watcher’? Guess we’ll find out..but clearly he’s part of the pattern.
And Walter…oh Walter in fine form. He had so many good lines in this episode ..perhaps the funniest…
I’m sure agent Dunham has seen a penis before.

Tonight’s Fringe was yet another awesome episode. And it was an episode that was completely different than last week’s No Brainer episode –
Olivia ends back in the Tank! its kinda like taking a bath for her..
But the biggest revelation of course is that John Scott is still not in the ground (we kinda knew that) and more importantly he wasn’t a traitor. Was this Conrad guy the same one that was responsible for the bio-weapon that ended up in the first episode of Fringe (i think so).
Is John Scott actually dead?
Well….we’ll see won’t we..but somehow I don’t think this is the last we’ll see of John Scott.

Can a computer program liquify your brain?
On Fringe it can!
Neat concept and another solid episode…not sure how that first into the pattern…other than perhaps Mr. Dempsey has sold the program to someone connected to the pattern.
The parallel plot with Walter meeting the mother of his dead lab assistant was a nice touch too.
And what’s going on between Olivia’s sister and Peter? Looked like some sexual tension to me…only a matter of time till the two of them hook up.

Tonight’s episode was awesome wasn’t it?
Olivia escapes her captors with nothing more than a glass of water, kill a fellow agent’s wife and somehow figures how everything fits together.
Sure this show can be a little weird – but it does make sense in the end. Without a doubt Agent Dunham is the key character in this show and she’s one tough cookie.

So we get another dead guy that Walter wants to mind read. Wait a sec didn’t we do that in the first episode of this show too? Was’t there another method?
Also this show is great – but starting to get a little too predictable at this point.
Here’s a Pattern for you.
If someone is dying of a strange ailment – they’re part of the pattern (Agent Scott or otherwise) and somehow are conspiring against the FBI to get the G-men to do their dirty work for them.

This episode was interesting in some ways and lame in others.
The electrified dude that can generate power was a neat idea….
Getting the carrier pidgeons to find the dude based on his EMF signal also a neat idea…but wouldn’t it have just been easier to us a spy satellite or some other kind of radio antenna to identify where the sign could be?
The reappearance of Olivia’s beau, Agent John Scott (Mark Valley)is kind of neat. Is he just an echo in her mind?
I dunno…how did she find his secret lab?
Fringe 1×04 The Arrival- Is The Pattern All About Aliens? October 1, 2008

So four episodes into Fringe and we see a key actor in the Pattern – the bald headed jalepno eating man – (not to be confused with X-Files smoking man). The bald man saved both Dr. Baldwin and his son as well as bee the “observer” the watches for the arrival of the cylindar and other pattern related objects.
The dude was writing in an alien language clearly and likely isn’t of the Earth.
So…back to X-Files .. a neat show about paranormal events that all eventually led to alien DNA – will Fringe degenerate into the same nonsense?
Don’t get me wrong – so far this is a great show – i just hope that the answer to what is the pattern? isn’t just a – oh it’s aliens – answer.

A ‘ghost’ network for transmitting information, and more conspiracies into the pattern.
Neat episode and great twist at the end – not sure who is the bad guy and who isn’t are we?
Now the piano playing part – that’s a little cheesy – but hey a minor thing in a show that seems to be picking up the pace and maturing nicely into a must see TV show.

Just watched the premiere of J.J Abrams Fringe and I’m reasonably impressed. The core group of characters are excellent and this is not just an X-Files remake.
Though Fringe does borrow from other popular SciFi doesn’t it?
Take for example the ‘vulcan mind meld’ in a vat of liquid that looked surprisingly like the hybrid Cylon in Battlestar Galactica.
Having the “john’ boyfriend character be the bad guy – was an awesome twist that I never saw coming. If Fringe can keep up that kind of dynamic plot week in and week out we’re in for a treat.
The big mystery for Fringe – clearly will be – What is the pattern?
Is it an alien lifeform? Is it a cabal? A global conspiracy?
Whatever it is I’m sure that Abrams will stretch this out for the life of the show and we’ll find out little bits as it goes on.
Just a word about the location for Fringe – clearly this show was shot in Toronto – with the Royal Ontario Museum as one key set as was the University of Toronto (with the final scene clearly in front of University College). Just a neat thing to point out…

We’re only about half an hour away at posting time from the season finale of Sarah Connor Chronicles.
So far FOX has NOT RENEWED the series, they have NOT stated that they were planning on Season 2 and that really REALLY SUCKS.
Maybe they’re waiting to see how the rating are for the 2 hour show tonight (SO WATCH THE SHOW ON EVERY TV IN YOUR HOUSE AND GET YOUR NEIGHBORS TO DO THE SAME).
Sure the Writer’s strike messed up planning but still, they could show a bit more respect for the show’s fans. Make no mistake about is Sarah Connor Chronicles has fans..and we here at ShowMeSciFi.com are proud to be numbered among them.
So here’s hoping that SCC WILL BE BACK FOR SEASON 2!!
(don’t screw this up FOX, you killed Firefly don’t kill Sarah Connor Chronicles!)
