‘A Better Human Being’ is a very character driven episode of Fringe, after a season where this kind of story telling alternated with action-scenes it is pleasant to finally see progression in the characters. The relationship between Olivia and Peter is the main driving force behind the character development but it certainly also affects Walter Bishop, his character is a lot more focused in this episode and even chastises Peter for what he believes to be a bad influence on Olivia. There is of course and episode specific story arc, this week it is a Doctor Franks who has experimented with...

Friday’s episode of Fringe is called ‘Forced Perspective’ and sees the return of the Observers who warn Olivia of her impending death.

Fear not, the title says ‘almost’ cancelled that doesn’t mean it hasn’t. At this time of the year there is always a lot of buzz going on which shows gets renewed and which get cancelled.

Various suggestions have been put forth but first they...

Last week’s episode of Fringe entitled Wallflower was the last episode before the shows brief hiatus that lasts until january 13th. sadly, because of the baseball competition a couple of weeks back Fringe didn’t have the proper cliffhanger ending that was needed, indeed the last episode though good ended a bit disapointing. Here’s hoping viewers won’t tune out completely… As far as the next episode is concerned, there are as of yet no stills available but there is a promo video. And here is an older press release (with dates that no longer apply)… In the Fall Finale, Olivia and...

Well, after 7 episodes ending with this weeks ‘Wallflower’ Fringe will take a hiatus and won’t be back until january. Which is strange as this season has only just starting to get interesting. Fringe’s creative team however should use the hiatus to try and rethink their aproach to this season because so far it has been a tad dull.

While Olivia copes with migraines, she and her team investigate an invisible...
