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 [...]

The Fringemunks and David Wu are back with a brand new parady song for episode 1.04 ‘The Arrival’. The ‘munks get fresh to death with Mr. innovation himself, Kanye West, as they recap ‘Arrival’ with their version of his “Gold Digger” smash hit.
Drop the beat, here come the ‘munks!:

On Friday, JJ Abrams completed his live webchat with Guardian UK readers. He gave some interesting and inspiring insights into Fringe, LOST, Star Trek, Cloverfield and writing in general. Below are some of the questions posed to him, and his answers:
To you, is there an upcoming episode that you are especially proud of and you [...]

The Arrival gave us a good opportunity to get up close and personal with Mr. Personality himself, The Observer. Some have speculated that he is an alien, others have suggested robot or cyborg connections, whilst others are unsure.

The dear Dr. Bishop has posted his latest lab notes post episode 4 - The Arrival (click on image to read).
Whoever writes these notes is getting better at being more mystical and cryptic, but this weeks notes are a lot of fun to read, with much with which to speculate.
Walter focuses on his bald friend - The Observer, as [...]

In The Arrival you may have picked up on the fact that the Fringe creators gave the Popular Mechanic writers a shout-out (here for image). This seems to have done the trick, as even Popular Mechanics struggle to debunk the scientific credibility of this weeks episode. In all fairness, credit to the Fringe creators for being [...]

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 [...]

Fringe improved on last weeks ratings as it received 10.4 million viewers and won all of the target viewer groups for it’s hour:
House dominated the evening in terms of the youth demos, and Fringe won the demos for its hour and was second in demo performance only to House, though the House lead-in is definitely [...]
