TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 4: Do Shapeshifters Dream of Electric Sheep?

Fringe writers are at it again. Close calls happened throughout the episode; did Peter know? Or didn’t he? Until the very last second of the episode, we didn’t quite know; but methinks Peter doesn’t know, or, at the very least, what doubts he had were blown to bits by Altivia’s, erm, ‘intervention’. Quick recap: Senator… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 4: Do Shapeshifters Dream of Electric Sheep?
