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

Fringe Spoiler is reporting that none other than Spock – Leonard Nimoy will play William Bell, founder of Massive Dynamics and Walter’s original lab partner.
Cool.

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.

So Mr. Jones survived the teleporter but now he’s something..
Unimaginable
What is that all about what did he become?
and how did Olivia actually shut off the lights? Was it a trick or is she now a part of the Pattern?
We don’t know and that’s just fine. It’s the fact that this show keeps us guessing throwing us some weird curves..but not too weird such that a normal human can’t follow along.
Though the full season 1 isn’t yet out on DVD (it’s a new show after all) Amazon has all the episodes avail now so you can catch up if you want ..get your Fringe episodes
Fringe – John Scott is Not a Traitor February 3, 2009

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.
Fringe – The Comic Book? January 29, 2009

Regular ShowMeSciFi.com readers know we’re big fans of Fringe here – apparently there is now a comic book out too!
It’s a prequel of sorts digging into the early work that Walter did prior to him going nuts. Apparently it’s a licensed tie-in and will reveal some secrets that also tie-in with the founding of massive dynamics by William Bell.
In an interview with CBR writer Mike Johnson said:
Walter is an interesting character to write because in the “Fringe” comic stories, he’s a “different guy” than the one we see on the show. “He’s young, he’s just starting his career, and most importantly he’s not crazy,” offered Johnson. “At least not in the conventional way, but we put hints in there that all will not end up well in his world.
Sounds neat, but wouldn’t this also be great as a direct to DVD or made for TV prequel?

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.
Fringe – Bound. This is one great show January 20, 2009

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.

I did not see that one coming – first of all . Walter is the root of all technology in the show – good or bad. It’s a neat concept but what that is really starting to get very tired.
So he built a teleporter – not a time machine – that took the ‘gentleman’ to the little hill.
neat.
Bad guys passing through wall – like the phase inverter that stranded one of Riker’s ships on Star Trek (remember the show with the Teleporter..). Ok maybe not a totally unique idea. but still fun.
A fun episode overall though – and it will be interesting to see how AGent Dunham is rescued and by whom – i’ll put an early guess that it will be Massive!
Fringe – The Equation Solves What? November 20, 2008

Did I miss something? Last night’s Fringe Episode – The Equation was a gripping story ..and it was great to see Walter go back to the asylum -just to see what would happen.
But was he hallucinating when he saw himself?
AND what was the final solution to the equation? Was it a teleportation devices? I couldn’t tell it was just kinda – there.
It also seemed very odd that the ‘woman’ wasn’t discussed further in some way at the end – she gets shot but we don’t know how or why she rigged the machine to get the boy to see his dead mom – and we don’t know why she doesn’t age.
A mystery wrapped inside a mystery wrapped inside an enigma.

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.

But the good people at FOX are giving us a little gift – a YouTube clip about the Wonderful World of Walter.
Enjoy! (We did!!).

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…
