Since Fox are re-airing “Brown Betty” tonight we thought it would be worth posting a “Brown Betty” replay thread in case anyone wants to discuss the episode for the first time, or re-submerge themselves in the haze.

Feeling the Lowatus strain? Tired by the run of the mill? Hankering for some nostalgia? Then you need “Brown Betty”!

Just one dose of “Brown Betty” will leave your head spinning, eyes rolling, and may even induce a course or two of restrained laughter. Tempted? Well you’re in luck ladies and gentle ben, because “Brown Betty” is returning to Fox this Friday, April 8th. To celebrate the occasion, the network has re-aired the classic trailer.

Fairy tales, Singing Corpses, Ass-kicking Observers, Robot Peters, Creepy Walters, Animated Bellies, Alternate Endings. “Brown Betty” entered our world like a beacon of possibility without doing too much damage to the fabric of Fringe. But who, in this fractured mind of Walter Bishop, was your Fringie of the Week?

Fringe slipped 5% in last Thursday’s “Brown Betty” airing, scoring a 2.0 adults 18-49 rating. Not good. At all.
It’s difficult to say exactly how much of the drop was down to FOX airing a musical episode of Fringe, but I imagine that it had something to do with it. Many people tune into Fringe to watch a specific brand of entertainment, so the thought of watching a ‘musical’ must have been a bit of a turn off for some.
Don’t get me wrong, “Brown Betty” was alright by me in the end, but we have to find a way to plug the hole in the universe Fringe ratings. (Where’s Walter’s universal sealant when you need it?). Hopefully the episodes leading up to the finale will give us the uptick we crave. Meanwhile, head past the jump for the graphical break down.

Welcome to the FB review of Fringe season 2 episode 19 – “Brown Betty“. In this review I present my honest opinions on both the good and bad aspects of the episode. I also take a look at the answers and unresolved mysteries, before sharing my thoughts on other aspects which may have been overlooked.
Note: In some instances I use the term “Waltercal” (as in Walter/Musical Episode) to help distinguish between the Walter from the musical fairytale and Walter the narrator.

It’s getting to the stage where almost nothing surprises me about what Fringe could pull next. We’ve had Twittersodes, special airings of unaired episodes from last season smack bang in the middle of season 2, and tonight, we’re going to get an all-singing, all-dancing musical installment. What’s next – a live broadcast of Fringe from the moon? Not quite, but there is suggestion of an animated Fringe episode.
I feel like I need a Bart Simpson quote, or something, to greet this news.
Head past the jump for more on that, tonight’s musical episode and why we’re going to need to keep our eyes peeled in the finale for a secret season 3 clue.
