The Shadow Knows: Ashes to Ashes on "Fringe"
Original at Televisionary
• Fri, Nov 6
By Jace(jace@televisionaryblog.com) Now that's what I call a fantastic episode of Fringe. While I've been pushing the series' producers to shift towards a sleeker serialized format for the series since its inception, last night's episode of Fringe ("Earthling"), written by J.H. Wyman and Jeff Vlaming and directed by Jon Cass...

Review: Fringe - Earthling
Original at TV Squad
• Thu, Nov 5
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 Jane Boursaw It appears that the Russians have fringe science, too. Tonight's episode of Fringe, "Earthling," ups the creep factor with an old case of Agent Broyles' that's come back to haunt him. The story centers on a cosmonaut who goes to outer space and brings something mysterious back with him that...

By Bob Sassone But among the list of shows are a few that I didn't think were in danger, including Gossip Girl and Fringe.

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...
