“The Equation” provided yet more evidence of technology hybridizing realities and dreams, hopes and fears, obsessions and possessions. In a poignant scene, Dashiell tells Walter “it was all a bad dream!”, when referring to the experiences the ‘woman’ (Joanne Ostler) implanted into his mind. Throughout the episode we see the same thing happen to young Ben, tantalizing [...]

The other day I was watching “Heroes”, and I realised why I’ve fallen out of love with that once great show. It’s not just because they opened the Pandora’s box that is time-travel without due care and diligence, but also because the are no consequences of being a Hero (or a Villain) for anyone without powers. [...]

A couple of days ago I received an email asking for my thoughts on why The Observer wasn’t at Holly’s diner in the last episode, when Emily Kramer and the patrons met their gruesome end. My initial thought was that maybe he doesn’t like the onion soup that they cook up, perhaps it’s not hot enough for him? [...]

When Olivia took down INtREPUS and it’s bigwig David Esterbrook, she not only changed the fortunes of Massive Dynamic who profited financially from their demise, but she also changed “The Pattern” itself. In fact, it could be argued that Olivia and her task-force (Walter, Peter, Astrid etc) have been changing the Pattern since they arrested Richard [...]

 
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 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, [...]

“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 [...]

Here’s our round-up of the clues and eastereggs from episode 1.04 “The Arrival”.
UNLOCK YOUR HIDDEN..

In the opening scene there is a poster plastered on a signpost (A, B). Partially (and intentionally) obscured by the location titles the poster says: “UNLOCK YOUR HIDDEN POTENTIAL”, followed by what appears to be “BETTER HEADING” (certainly the letters HEA can [...]

There couldn’t have been a more fitting title for episode 4 - after 48 fantastic minutes of “The Arrival”, Fringe well and truly arrived. Even the opening “previously on Fringe” voice-over was a bit special, especially for those of us who thrive on the details. The opening scene set the tone - episodes of “LOST” that [...]

Here’s our Fringe easteregg and clues round-up for episode 1.03 The Ghost Network. 
R.I.P. Ethics

At the funeral of John Scott, the only discernible name on any of the grave stones is that of “Steneck”. Considering the way in which Massive Dynamic are prodding and probing his mind, this could be a shout-out to Dr. Nicholas Steneck, [...]
