Another week, another human testing case. That opening scene was more gore than I was expecting. Seeing people bleed to death and then that poor woman lose her head (literally) was something I'd expect from a horror movie or something on a premium channel and not Fox. Olivia was unusually tense in "The Cure" and we would eventually learn it had to do with her birthday. When she was a child, she shot but did not kill her abusive father. ... Read More

This week's episode of Fringe took a step away from the conspiracy theories surrounding Massive Dynamic and what they may be up to. Instead, the person at the center of the mystery was just a nobody, made by someone with known ties to anyone else. It frankly reminded me of CBS's Eleventh Hour. After seeing Olivia have those visions of John in the previous episode, I was looking forward to seeing how the writers would continue with them and offer up ... Read More

I hate it when I don't keep up with my reviews, but it's been a busy two weeks around here and sadly Fringe got put on the back burner until I cleared up most of my queue. Fringe has been a really intriguing show to watch. Each episode has brought forth a new mystery which seems to be tied to a certain corporation now owned by Walter's former research associate. I'm a big fan of conspiracies and the corporation ... Read More

When people are trapped in a silicone-like substance on a bus, Walter, Peter, and Olivia are brought in to investigate. That was one of the most intriguing setups I've seen in a while. When I saw the man let the gas out of the canister, I expected to see the passengers collapse and die, I didn't expect them to appear as though they were bugs caught in amber, as suggested by Walter. It was only a matter of time until a ... Read More

When I previewed Fringe's pilot, I believe I made it pretty clear how excited I was about this show. It's not just the intriguing stories I know will come into play every week, but the casting was very well done. Of all the major characters, I feel every one of them was well cast, particularly Joshua Jackson as Peter Bishop and John Noble as Dr. Walter Bishop. In "The Same Old Story," we had an interesting story about a man who ... Read More

When the networks do their upfronts each year, there is always a show or two that catches my eye, either because it sounds like something I'll like or it's something I know has no chance of being successful. Along with Dollhouse, Fringe caught my eye this year. (I'm sure there were a few others, but those are the two that come to mind.) It promised to be a science-fiction thriller. The science-fiction genre has a little bit of everything in ... Read More
