1.06 “The Cure” - Walter Bishop’s Lab Notes
Walter Bishop’s lab notes for 1.06 The Cure have been released (click image to read).
Walter is as stunned as Jack Shepherd over the viability of the Red Sox. He considers the possibility that he’s been transported into an alternate reality during his time in St. Claire’s, such is his shock that people actually expected the [...]
Who Polices The Policemen?
Fringe is not all about fringe science, electro-men and exploding heads. It taps into an idea that corporations govern the direction of the world and make decisions on who lives, who dies and who is expendable - all in the name of science, all because they can. This arrogance was most recently brought into focus when [...]
The Devil Wears Peter
Peter made a deal with the devil - promising Massive Dynamic a favour in return for the location of INtRPUS’ secret research facility. All because he wanted to pay Olivia back for looking out for him and Walter. But did he really do it for that reason, could there yet be more in this tale than [...]
1.06 “The Cure” - The Good, The Bad - Review
The Good
1) Excitement, tension and much more danger.
2) The character development of Olivia. We’ve always been fans of Agent Dunham, but adding these personal layers make her worth caring about.
3) INtREPUS. Adding another organisation to rival Massive Dynamic was a master-stroke. It’s good to have another name to add to the list of dubious corporations. More importantly, [...]
Who Can She Trust? Who Can’t She Trust
Five episodes in and one thing that we do know about Olivia is that she has trust issues - or she should have. You kinda get the feeling that when John Scott told her that he loved her, she hadn’t heard those words for a long time. Clearly, when it came to John, she felt [...]
Jasika Nicole on Astrid’s Return, William Bell and More!
Spoiler Alert!
Jasika Nicole who portrays Astrid (what’s my name?) Farnsworth on the show, has been speaking to TV Guide about Fringe.
It’s a nice interview, among the things she talks about: how good it is working with John Noble, how Astrid might be having a meatier role in future episodes, her thoughts on who the elusive [...]
What Happens Off-Screen, Stay’s Off-Screen?
The episodic format of Fringe is rather frustrating as it means that we can’t always expect to have events from the previous episodes referenced in the current episode. In recent episodes we’ve witnessed potentially important events, which have so far failed to be acknowledged or referenced in the episodes that follow.
Like, what happened to John Mosely’s (Rouge) pulse [...]
1.05 Power Hungry Easteregg & Clues Round-Up
Here’s our easteregg and clues round-up for episode 1.05 - “Power Hungry”.
I’ll Be Watching You
The Observer kept up his record of appearing in every episode so far when he stepped out of the elevator just before Joseph Meegar entered. Notice how he’s eyeing up Joseph, indicating that he knows Joseph is the source of the [...]
JJ Abrams Sweet Romance?
It seems we’re not the only ones talking about Olivia’s relationship troubles - Digital Spy have a piece on the broader relationship trends which are common throughout JJ Abrams productions:
There’s nothing like a bit of tender romance to warm your cockles in the midst of a hard-edged sci-fi and action strewn story. JJ Abrams certainly has [...]
Can Olivia Ever Really Trust John Scott Again?
“Power Hungry” confirmed my speculation regarding how the very dead John Scott was very much alive in Olivia’s head - the synaptic transfer that the pair went through in the pilot episode left a permanent imprint on Olivia’s mind, giving him access to her consciousness and presumably allowing her access to his.
But this is Fringe and very rarely [...]
