Opinion: Fringe – “Night of Desirable Objects”

25 Sep 2009 17:52:49 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Season Premiere: Fringe – “A New Day in the Old Town”

18 Sep 2009 11:49:17 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Same Old Scene: A Tear in the Veil on the Season Premiere of FOX's "Fringe"

18 Sep 2009 03:59:42 PDT

Written by Jace(jace@televisionaryblog.com)
Oh, Fringe, I've missed you. I've had a sometimes thwarted love affair with FOX's sci-fi drama Fringe over the course of its bumpy first season but last night's second season premiere ("A New Day in the Old Town"), written by J.J. Abrams and Akiva Goldsman and directed by Akiva Goldsman, poin...

Written 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.

Opinion: Fringe - "Ability"

12 Feb 2009 06:00:17 PST

Written by Myles
Ultimately, “Ability” is trying to do the same for Olivia Dunham, giving her a reason to be so intricately linked to this mysterious scientific conspiracy that is currently unfolding. Catapulting the mysterious and creepy Mr. Jones back into our main narrative, we learn some very import...

Fringe Episode Review: The Transformation

04 Feb 2009 09:00:00 PST

Written 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...

Fringe Episode Review: Bound

21 Jan 2009 20:29:00 PST

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Adam Morgan)
Dunham Done ‘em Overall, this was a huge breakthrough for the show. Almost like a second pilot. I’ve enjoyed Fringe from the beginning, but was waiting for an episode to launch the story into the stratosphere with the greats like Lost and The Prisoner.

Opinion: The 2008 Television Time Capsule: Fringe - "The Equation"

02 Jan 2009 05:00:42 PST

Written by Myles
I’ve written a lot about Fringe, primarily because there was a lot of misconceptions going in and a lot of misconceptions as it aired. This show isn’t Lost, having more in common with Abrams’ work on Alias than anything on his more recent series. The show has been dangerously procedural, lar...

Opinion: Fringe - “The Equation”

18 Nov 2008 19:54:00 PST

Written by Myles
Yes, the show still feels a bit like a low stakes Alias at points, but this episode combined some of the most interesting qualities of Alias’ mythology while focusing on the dramatic pathos of the right character at the right time. I’m not quite ready to see it as a trend, perhaps, but I was enr...

Our good friend Amy from FilmingInBrooklyn.com was at the New York TV Festival screening of Fringe. Since the screening was scheduled after the season premiere, they showed Fringe Episode 2 - The Same Old Story. Amy also happened to be in Brooklyn while they were filming this very episode.

Review: Fringe questions strange phenomena

28 Oct 2008 20:15:36 PDT

Written by tube talk girl(noreply@blogger.com)
Fringe Premiere Date: September 9, 2008Airs: Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on FOX I didn’t fall in love with Fringe immediately after watching the pilot, like I did other Abrams' shows Felicity and Lost. But, Fringe is definitely worth investing in for a second look. The cast alone packs a mighty punch.

TV REVIEW: Fringe: "The Cure"

23 Oct 2008 03:31:00 PDT

In "The Cure," our heroes, the Bishops (Walter and Peter) and FBI agent Olivia Dunham, investigate the strange case of a woman in Milford, Massachusetts who has been mysteriously but effectively "weaponized;" her brain transformed into a microwave generator that can "fry" innocent b...

Opinion: House & Fringe: The personal vs. the professional

22 Oct 2008 10:23:00 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: J.J. Abrams: Fringe proudly and squarely exists in the science fiction world.

17 Oct 2008 21:40:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Edward)
J.J. Abrams talked to Starwars.com about Fringe (and Star Wars). Did you have any other obstacles with Fringe that you hadn't come across being a TV show veteran? How has your experience working on this show differed than that of something like Alias or Lost?

TV REVIEW: Fringe: "Power Hungry"

17 Oct 2008 03:45:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (John Kenneth Muir)
3. The case is related to the myth-arc, or as Fringe terms it, "The Pattern." We know this is so, because the Observer is present at the elevator incident. And also because John Scott -- the dead agent played by Mark Valley -- was researching the case before he died. And that's another cliche too:...

Opinion: Could This Year Be The End Of Science Fiction On TV?

25 Sep 2008 14:57:04 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Fringe - “The Ghost Network”

23 Sep 2008 19:19:55 PDT

Written 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. I think that the series is struggling to find its own identity, dealing with a struggle to both represent a procedural drama regarding paranormal activity outside of the norm a...

Opinion: io9 Talks To John Noble About Playing Science Fiction's Weirdest New Character

15 Sep 2008 08:20:00 PDT

Written 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.

Opinion: 'Fringe' has disappointing debut; '90210′ ratings drop in Week 2

11 Sep 2008 09:54:39 PDT

Written by msartwel@lohud.com
Fringe," the latest sci-fi extravaganza from TV genius J.J. Abrams, debuted Tuesday night to a disappointing 9 million viewers. In my opinion, this is a shame—and a shocker, considering that "Fringe" also got great reviews (including one from yours truly!).

As for the cast, it's pretty solid. The main players are the aforementioned Walter Bishop (John Noble), Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson), Phillip Broyles (Lance Reddick), and Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv). The female lead (and overall "main character") is Dunham, who has a Kate-esque quality...

Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind is something else. Yeah, it’s an established property, at least in Chicago, homebase of its creators, the Neo-Futurists. (Think the Groundlings, except less obsessed with getting on Saturday Night Live.) The hometown show been up and running for at le...
