TV Review: Fringe, Season 4, Episode 5: “Novation”

Uncomfortable moments: those are the two words I would use to describe the current season of Fringe. We are at about a quarter of the way through the fourth season of the show, and yet I still find it equally fascinating and uncomfortable to watch.  It is as if I had found the most beautiful,… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 4, Episode 5: “Novation”

TV Review: Fringe, Season 4, Episode 4: “Subject 9″

Season 4 of Fringe is, at the same time, a fascinating study of the personality of characters we have come to care about, and a frustrating game of trying to figure out what happened to Peter Bishop. Thankfully, the wait is over – at least with regards to where Peter is. How he got there… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 4, Episode 4: “Subject 9″

TV Review: Fringe, Season 4, Episode 3: “Alone in the World”

The episode “Alone in the World”, the third of Fringe’s fourth season, is mostly a study on this timeline’s Walter, bringing out aspects of his personality previously explored in both of the previous timelines’ universes (wow, all these timelines and universes are really complicating things!). But, typical of this show, light is shed very differently… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 4, Episode 3: “Alone in the World”

TV Review: Fringe, Season 4, Episode 2: “One Night in October”

Fringe fans, settle into your favourite couch; it looks like, yet again, the writers are going to take their time developing the storyline, delving into each characters’ psyche and exploring the differences in them created by Peter’s absence. While some might not like the slower pace, this lends to resolving the main question at hand… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 4, Episode 2: “One Night in October”

TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 13: “Immortality” Part II

One of the best written dances between darkness and light in recent television is the comparison of the two universes in Fringe. While we might have wanted to remain in the relative ease of black versus white, the production team has added so many shades of grey that it makes a discussion about ethics, such… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 13: “Immortality” Part II

TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 14: “6B”

While I was disappointed this episode “6B” didn’t turn out to be a ghost story in the end, one of my favourite genres, I totally loved the way the Fringe production team managed, in its own way, to explore the concept. Just think about it: the setting was typical to a ghost story genre (an… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 14: “6B”

TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 12: Concentrate and Ask Again

Amidst rumours of cancellation and a after a huge wave of panic amongst fans, Fringe delivered yet another fantastic episode; “Concentrate and Try Again” touched upon both the human drama at the heart of Fringe as well as upon the overarching plotline. I loved this episode for many reasons. For one, I always love an… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 12: Concentrate and Ask Again

TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 11: Reciprocity

This latest episode of Fringe drops more hints and clues, and plot twists that indicate that we are again in for a crazy end-of- season ride. For the sake of my poor readers, my editors and I have decided post the review in two parts. The first part is meant to be more plot oriented,… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 11: Reciprocity

TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 10: The Firefly

The return of Fringe after the Christmas hiatus was much anticipated, as not only the two universes seem to be bound on a collision course, but the fate of star struck lovers Peter and Olivia… OK, fine, they are not quite the star struck lovers, nor are they really lovers at this point, but whatever… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 10: The Firefly

TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 7: The Abducted

Wyman and Pinkner, the executive producers of Fringe, always say that at the heart of their show is a human drama. And it’s episodes like this one that put the emphasis on the importance of the human factor of the show. For Olivia (Anna Torv) to have a way out of the alternate universe, she… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 7: The Abducted
