Best of 2009

As 2009 comes to a close, I thought that I’d compile a top 10 list (totally original, I know) in recognition of another year on the Fringe! After some deliberating I settled on my 10 most fascinating Fringe characters of 2009. I’ve gone for “fascinating” over “best” because I feel that it describes the journey that the Fringies have taken over the past 12 months. I’ve decided to compile this list in order of the 10 characters who have intrigued me the most (none of this “alphabetical order” cop-out stuff) along with a few reasons why.

See if you agree or disagree with my choices below the jump.

Just the two of us

One of the areas Fringe excels most is with its characters. Our band of heroes (and villains) who – rain or shine, stand-alone or serialized – make Fringe such an addictive show, week-in week-out.

With that in mind, today we want to find out which relationship Fringe fans love the most? After the break we put the Fringies in pairs and open the floor for your votes.

NYCC:09 – Jasika, Kirk & Lance Interview

by Roco on February 13, 2009 · 0 comments

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKhG8efNgmM[/youtube]

An interview featuring Jasika Nicole, Kirk Acevedo and Lance Reddick. The audio isn’t the best but it’s well worth listening to — especially Lance Reddick’s interpretation of Broyles, his relationship with Olivia and whether or not his character is aware of the sides at play.

Connect Four and the Game at Hand

by Roco on February 7, 2009 · 4 comments

The disc holdersSomething that has intrigued me throughout the series so far, has been how the various groups and individuals link together. In many ways, the relationships between the characters and factions form a pattern of their own. Episode 1.13 gave us one of the most insightful offerings yet as to the overarching character connections.

Want to know what connects the Evelina Mendoza, Marshall Bowman, Daniel Hicks and John Scott? Continue after the jump for some musings.

1.12 "The No Brainer" - The Good and The Bad - Review

Here’s the FringeBloggers review for episode 1.12 “The No Brainer”.

The Good

  • The “What’s That Noise?” opening. As usual Fringe delivers with the high concept hook. The subliminal messages and the cyber hand were way cool, and the whole thing reminds me of The Ring, amongst other pop-culture references.
  • Both Peter and Walter came out of the episode with a lot of credit. Peter was very over-protective towards his father but it’s endearing and understandable. Walter was very compassionate towards Jessica Warren, in a scene which stole many hearts. This episode did a subtle job of showing the growth in the father/son relationship, and it’s all thanks to Olivia. Seriously, isn’t she just the bestest FBI agent/relationship councillor/sister/auntie you ever did saw?
  • Joshua Jackson was very enjoyable to watch in this episode. His portrayal of the over-protective son/love interest was very believable. I’ll tell you why this is important for me; I wasn’t a Dawson’s Creek fan and I wasn’t blown away by his performance in the Pilot episode. But since then he’s gotten progressively better and I couldn’t imagine another actor in his role. Well, I probably could, but you know what I mean; dude is doing a fine job.

BOUND Review - The Good & The Bad

Things like this used to happen in the Lab all the time…Makes me nostalgic! – Walter Bishop, 1.11 “Bound”.

Here’s the FB review for episode 1.11 “Bound”:

THE GOOD

  • Suspense, tension and action. There were a few moments in this episode when I could feel my heart pounding inside my chest. Olivia’s escape was predictable; but it was great to witness the sheer determination of the woman. Then there were the giant intestinal ‘slugs’, making the parasite from “The Equation” look like a weed by comparison. The Samantha/Olivia face-off was brilliant in it’s execution, and the whistling kettle really heightened tension. And what about the actual fight? Samantha may look frail but she sure can kick butt, as can Olivia, who laid the smack down like The Rock in his prime. What I loved most about that though, was the aftermath; Olivia’s little look to her left, where the bullet from Samantha’s gun narrowly missed her, serving as a chilling reminder of just how human she is. So daring is she, that sometimes I think that Olivia forgets that she’s mortal; flesh and bone. Then again, depending upon what Loeb injected into her spine, perhaps she’s not so human after all?

1.11 “Bound”

by Roco on January 20, 2009 · 4 comments

1.11 "Bound"Hurrah! Fringe is back at long last. How I’ve missed Walter and the gang, yes even that old cow, Gene.

Thoughts a-bound:

Looking back at the previous 10 episodes, my out and out favourites were those laced with mythology, action and a sense of urgency – The Arrival and Safe were two outstanding episodes. Everything just seemed to make sense, characters blended well, the story-line meshed and they had the “wow-factor” that “LOST” has on the regular.

Along the way Fringe has grown in confidence, it’s brash and it’s bold, with cool science (yes, science!) and thought provoking moments. Far from being just a clinical science-orientated show, it’s also warmed our hearts on occasions – the father/son relationship has been wonderful, and the Olivia/Broyles relationship (not given enough credit, in my opinion) has also been great to watch – especially when both of their guards are down. And let’s hear it for Olivia’s solitary tear as she saw John Scott’s melted body for the first time. Everyone forgets that tear because it was so long ago, but I still remember it, a very underrated tear. I would, however, love for them to introduce more spirituality and philosophy – the show is crying out for it. I’m not looking for “Lost 2.0″ (seriously, I’ve got that base covered), but I think Fringe would excel to the next level if they found a way to incorporate more of those, shall we say, ‘reflective’ elements. Just look at Walter in ‘Equation’ and ‘Dreamscape’. Who wasn’t moved by some of those scenes? I like bad-crazy-mad Walter, but redemptive Walter is the one I’m batting for.
