Fringe

By Alan Sepinwall(asepinwall@starledger.com) I want to like "Fringe" more than I do. John Noble is wonderful, Joshua Jackson plays off him well, and the mix of obsolete technology and 21st century filmmaking techniques has led to a lot of memorably creepy images. But I never quite feel as attached to the show as I want to. When the standalon...

By Dennis(dennis@fringetelevision.com) Happy Fringeday! It's time for another LIVE Fringe chat from 9:00 PM to 12:00 PM ET, if you want to talk with other Fringe fans during or after the show. We'll try to get there a little early if anyone has questions they want answered. To discuss this or any other Fringe episode, head over to the F...

By Dennis(dennis@fringetelevision.com) Variety is reporting that Fox has launched a major campaign this week to promote the Observer-centric Fringe episode "August": Observer Week," as the campaign is dubbed internally, includes placing multiple actors playing "observers" in the crowd at live Fox telecasts -- Sunday's N...

By Jane Boursaw What struck me most about this episode in terms of relationships is how broken up Walter was over the loss of his son. As mentioned in my other reviews this season, Walter is like the kid and Peter is the parent. John Noble does a fantastic job of portraying a scared kid who's lost his dad in a depa...

By orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com) We have a bevy of TV updates tonight: First up, it appears that J.J. Abrams is in talks to direct the pilot of his newest series on NBC, a spy drama entitled Undercovers. We previously reported the fact that he was developing the show, and that it seemed to be strikingly similar to Mr. and Mrs. Smith....

By Jane Boursaw I said in my preview earlier today that I hoped this episode of Fringe wouldn't be a stand-alone creature feature. Unfortunately, that's exactly what it was. No William Bell. No Nina Sharp. No Pattern. No alternate universe. And no Observer. At least, not front and center. Did anyone see him?

By Myles Cultural Observations The Walter/Peter stuff was lacking in grace this week – the “a child’s grave with no child” note was all sorts of clumsy, and the final fishing note came up really suddenly and never really felt connected to the rest of the episode for me.My money is still on Other Unive...

By Lauren Davis Gene the cow put on her best party hat for last night's Fringe season premiere, an episode that brought us shapeshifters, transdimensional typewriters, a new team member, custard, and a kiss that revealed an unexpected alliance. Spoilers below...

By Myles And to be honest, I think “A New Day in the Old Town” is probably a far better episode than I’m about to give it credit for, as its ‘big twist’ fundamentally took me out of the episode and right back into feeling as if this is Alias: Part Two for Abrams, in some respects. While parts of the episode r...

By Jason the TVaholic Fringe (FOX): Season Premiere. Peter is in a race against time and an ominous force as he attempts to investigate Olivia’s trip to a parallel universe. After the way last season ended, I’ve been anxiously awaiting the new season. Can’t wait to see where they go from there.

By TV Guide MICKEY: We posed this question to Blair Brown, who plays the cybernetic corporate shark Nina Sharp, and she thinks that's pretty much accurate. There are two realities, after all. But here's a question: How can Dr. Bell live over there? Why hasn't he bumped into his other self? We have no idea...

HOME VIDEO – Out on DVD this week:Fringe: The Complete First Season. Fox's new sci-fi series started out with a ton of buzz, and overall lived up to it. Though some of the conspiracy convolutions got hard to follow, the show's daring and the contrast between the always-collected Anna Torv an...

The finale resolves many storylines set up this season, but it gives a great deal of potential for season 2. With decent pacing and intriguing cases, the show is something sci-fi fans will eat up. With the competent backing of JJ Abrams, “Fringe” seems ...

By Annalee Newitz And Peter helps out by looking rakish and telling Walter a story about how he used to make pancakes when Peter was a kid. That reminds Walter of how he lost "something precious" when Peter was young and sick (though interestingly Peter doesn't remember being sick). And how he thought he could...

By noreply@blogger.com (Adam Morgan) I'm still a little iffy on the dreamlike tank sequences. I like the idea; it's cool when Olivia watches herself in the past. But the logic is a little funny. When John interacts with her, what exactly is happening? Is a part of John still alive inside Olivia's brain? Is it only possible because o...

By asepinwall@starledger.com (Alan Sepinwall) And, yes, we need to on some level be invested in Olivia if we're going to care about the show. We've learned a fair amount about Walter and Peter's backstory already, so it seems only fair to do it with the other lead. I just continue to find both Olivia and Anna Torv to be flat and uncompelling, w...

By Charlie Jane Anders Sadly, Fringe had the weakest debut of any Abrams show since Felicity. The second episode did better thanks to the House premiere, and then the third episode dropped again. But the third episode scored better than the first, and as long as House remains reasonably popular, Fringe may be abl...

By Myles After last week’s review of Fringe was viewed as quite harsh, I want to clarify one thing: I don’t dislike Fringe.

By Meredith Woerner What do you think about Walter? He's slowly becoming a fan favorite out of the Fringe series. So are you saying that Science is the bad guy in Fringe? How are you going to top the "I just pissed myself" line? That was my favorite part of the pilot for Fringe.

The premiere of "Fringe" might have raised a lot of questions, it being the latest complicated mystery from J.J. Abrams, creator of "Alias" and "Lost." After "Lost" gained what he called "a certain reputation for being a very complicated show and one you have to watch every episode," "Fring...

By Scott Thill In the Star Wars multiverse, there are few narratives as familiar as the one that plays out in The Clone Wars, the animated TV series that debuts, at last, Oct. 3 on Cartoon Network.
