Walter Bishop - Losing My Religion

Walter Bishop - Losing My Religion

For the first time in what must surely be an age, Walter Bishop looked to faith to help facilitate the successful chariot of an exploration. If fringe science has a prophet, then it would surely be Walter. A man who literally speaks of the divinity of science, a man who has turned doubters and disbelievers (Olivia and Peter) [...]

Reality Bytes & Dream States

Reality Bytes & Dream States

“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 [...]

What Lurks Within Walter Bishop?

What Lurks Within Walter Bishop?

It is often stated that Walter Bishop is a man who lives purely for the rush of scientific endeavour and the pursuit of exploration. He’s a man who, before last nights episode, has given little consideration to the value of human life over his true calling. But much like Sylar in last Monday’s “Heroes”installment, we begin to see the [...]

Nina's Sharp, But She Has Her Flaws

Nina’s Sharp, But She Has Her Flaws

She is quite literally the woman with an iron fist, the result of a life-saving cancer operation, her bionic arm was created and implanted by the elusive Owner of Massive Dynamic, Dr. William Bell. She owes her life to “Bellie” and Massive Dynamic, in fact, some might argue that she is the very representation of [...]

Does The Observer Know He's Being Observed?

Does The Observer Know He’s Being Observed?

One thing that strikes me about the Observer is that he doesn’t seem to be very aware of himself. Whether it’s his lack of dignity in the diner, being captured on film at hundreds of Pattern-events, or being jumped from behind by Peter in the woods - he either lacks self-awareness of he doesn’t care that [...]

Counter Theory: Blue Flashes Before Your Eyes

Counter Theory: Blue Flashes Before Your Eyes

If you’ve been following this blog or the Fringe clues closely, then you’ll know that most of the episodes so far have featured a bright blue light that flashes at various intervals. Since it’s appearance in the Pilot episode I’ve wondered what these blue flashes could mean. Doc Arzt over at the Seeing Patterns blog has offered [...]

THEORY: Olivia Is Changing

THEORY: Olivia Is Changing “The Pattern”

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 [...]

Who Can She Trust? Who Can't She Trust

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 [...]

LOST's

LOST’s “Smokey” Has Opening Role in FRINGE!

Want to know what Smokey’s been up to during the long “LOST” hiatus? Well, if the our above image is to be believed then Smokey’s (B) snagged a starring role in the opening credits of Fringe (A). Notice the presence of smokeyesque billows just before the word “FRINGE” forms? More puffs of smoke can also be seen earlier [...]

Fringe ARG: Man-Made Tornadoes?

Fringe ARG: Man-Made Tornadoes?

The latest Fringe ARG update gave us a further understanding of the world that Fringe invites us to explore. The real-life tornado that ripped into Parkersburg, Iowa, earlier this year meshes nicely with other viral elements, such as the Sheep circles and the Comic book previews.
This is yet more evidence that we are looking at the idea that mankind [...]
