Fringe - Some Thoughts On Season Four - Part One By A.D.Harris

(originally posted on spoilertv.com)
Folks of STV,

I've been very pressed for time over the past few months, and sadly the Fringe reviews of last season haven't materialised.

It's not through lack of trying, but as they have built up and up it reached the point where I decided they were more redundant than interesting. I sometimes have felt a little guilty when I think about the fact that I should be reporting on cross-universe dramas of the highest order. I somehow feel that even though Walternate hasn't had the time to give his thoughts on 'Novation', the rise of Lincoln Lee or the Observer's haunting words, perhaps he could be forgiven seeing as he is saving worlds. I on the other hand, am simply working hard at a routine job, celebrating Christmas and making sure I eat, sleep and am generally living a healthy life.

Fringe S4 Preview 3/3 - Where Is Peter Bishop & The Actual Big Mystery

Previously on Adam's S4 Preview -

December: "You were right. They don't remember Peter."
The Observer: "How could they? He never existed. He served his purpose."

If your jaws were not on the floor before, they were now. If your jaws were already on the floor, they should have detached from your body and been running around the room.

Peter is gone. He doesn't exist. What. The. Fuck. Happens. Now.

That is supposedly the all important question looking ahead to season 4. Where exactly are we going? Where is Peter Bishop? Is he alive, dead, gone, hidden or something else entirely? The season finale of Fringe threw up the largest of cliffhangers by seemingly wiping out the existence of the stories most important catalyst. Without Peter's illness all those years ago then Walter simply would not have had to break the wall between universes, meaning all the destruction that has happened from that point forward would not have happened. Correct?

Fringe S4 Preview 2/3 -3.22 The Day We Died Review

Picking up where Fringe left us at the end of "The Last Sam Weiss, Peter entered the machine and found himself transported to the future. The year 2026 to be precise, where all shit is hitting all sorts of fans worldwide. The earth is being destroyed not only by the very fabric of nature collapsing, but also a rogue terrorist group known as the "End of Days" who are intent of bringing about the end of the world. It's a very bleak place, in utter chaos and hanging on by the slenderest of threads, and one thing which season finale "The Day We Died" manages is to perfectly visualise and create a new environment and world in its short forty minute lifespan. It's no easy feat to get so much into so little time, and the fact that the future reality we are presented with feels fully fleshed out is testament to the quality of the writing.

Fringe S4 Preview 1/3 - 3.21 The Last Sam Weiss Review

For any who have followed my reviews of Fringe over the past year, you will know that this has been a long time coming. A hectic schedule led to a delayed write-up and had me preparing this review of Fringe's final two episodes almost a month after they had aired. Instead of releasing the reviews at a time where Fringe fans would be happily lounging by the side of a pool or crying in a darkened room, (depending on how they choose to deal with a hiatus) I figured best to wait until just before the season four premiere before unleashing them. That way I could turn it into a bit of a preview of the up and coming season as well as looking back at where we last were. The first part of my three part review/preview of Fringe S3/S4 is focused on "The Last Sam Weiss," tomorrow will focus on "The Day We Died" and then on Wednesday I will preview S4. Time to start getting excited.

Fringe - My Interview With John Noble

(Taken from SpoilerTV)
Hey Guys,

Just a few minutes ago I finished up a conference call with John Noble and a few of our Fringe friends from across the web, and I'm delighted to say that I managed to get some air-time with John and ask him a couple of questions.

Fringe - 3.20 6:02AM E.S.T Review

Talk about a set-up.
Everything about Fringe's three-to-go finale was there to send your tease-buds crazy but not give you anything juicy... yet. It had Sam Weiss, Machines turning operational, Peter's (not so successful) moment of heroism, Walternate reminding us he's evil and Walter's confession yet it was always throwing us bones and then not letting us fetch them. That's not to say I wasn't a fan of the episode, it certainly had me on the edge of my seat. (or at least the lying in bed equivalent)

Fringe - 3.19 Lysergic Acid Diethylamide Review

Continuing from yesterday on my Fringe review catchup, I turn my attention to last weeks episode, perhaps the most crazy and unique Fringe episode to air so far. And yes, I say that whilst also considering the musical, cult detective trip that was Brown Betty.

Fringe - 3.18 Bloodline Review

This has been a long time in the making, and I can only apologise for the tardiness of my review of Fringe's 18th episode of it's third season; Bloodline. The fantastic news of Fringe's renewal for season four around the time that the show took a trip over there to delve deeper into the mythology of Fauxlivia and her new baby bump saw all the fans take a huge sigh of relief and sit back and watch the action unfold fear-free.

Fringe - 3.17 Stowaway Review

Once again, there are grumblings of Fringe not surviving past this May, probably prompted by the series' all time low ratings this Friday leading to a Twitter rumour that the show has already began packing up for good. The good news is that the show hasn't even begun filming the second half of this years finale so it is pretty much wrong that sets would be being disposed of at this point. I'm still of the belief that Fringe will get one more season, and so we all should have a few more Freaky Fridays before we say goodbye to Olivia and co. But for now, let's focus on what we do have; a very bizarre, not completely convincing episode and one that I'm sure will be viewed in a more positive light once the end of the season has played out.

Fringe - 3.16 Os Review

It's been a while since Fringe aired, two weeks is a lifetime to any Fringe fanatic and so to open the return of Freaky Fridays with Jorge Garcia on my TV screen in a mystery drama was perfection; based on the Fringe scale it's been an eternity since that happened.

Fringe - 3.15 Subject 13 Review

As I didn't write a Fringe review for last seasons flashback bonanza episode 'Peter' I want to start by saying just how awesome the title credits are for the episodes where we head back into the past. It's a genius touch that really gets you into the mindset for the episode and definitely makes it feel more of an event than usual episodes are. Also, these episodes are very cleverly shot to appear quite hazy, almost as if the test of time has made some things a little unclear and distant.
As for the retro music, that adds classic 80's suspense to the scenes and is another touch of genius; It's music you just don't hear any more on screen and so the fact that Fringe is brave enough and smart enough to throw it at you is refreshing and a lot of fun.

Fringe - 3.14 6B Review

It was all a love story; for all of this weeks vortexes, world collisions, shattering glass and smashed up corpses at the heart of it was a couple of love stories, of two people who were separated after years of time together and of two people needing reminding of the fact that they have the chance to be something.

Fringe - 3.13 Immortality Review

The week that people had been waiting for has come. After speculation began to mount a few weeks ago on the potentially head-scratching/mouth-watering (depending on your own personal opinion) plot that Fauxlivia may just be carrying Bishop Jr Jr. everyone was marking the return to Over There as the week that all would be revealed.
Aside from that particular plot point, I was really looking forward to heading over there as the last few weeks in our world had gotten a little disjointed and lacked the solid structure of the episodes we got before Christmas. A fresh change to let the definitive Sci-Fi of current TV re-adjust itself and begin to build some end-of-season momentum.

Fringe - 3.12 Concentrate & Ask Again Review

You may recall last week I said this in my review of the previous episode, Reciprocity: "I hope we get some time to let things develop in a character perspective for a couple of weeks before we throw ourselves back into the thick of it [The Main Mythology}. Over complication and too fast story progression is not always a good thing all the time, and I'm beginning to feel the drag and loose narrative cracking through."

Fringe - 3.11 - Reciprocity Review

Fringe is now two weeks into it's new home on FOX friday, and it's looking relatively stable for a return next season, two solid ratings which have led its timeslot are positive despite the lack of competition from CSI: New York & Supernatural which both return next week. That being said, if Fringe can maintain a strong challenge for CSI: New York I see it making it into a fourth season within the next month. However if the returning shows push the ratings down then it'll be a nail biter...
In terms of the eleventh episode of the season, Reciprocity, I have very mixed emotions. Since I watched it yesterday I've been swaying from loving it to thinking it was a little weak; Fringe has always been so strong in maintaining characters and I have to announce that Peter took a hit yesterday. I still feel I need more understanding on this 'Weaponisation' that Peter went through with the Doomsday Machine before I can calm the fluttering nerves that they may just be damaging Bishop Jr. a bit too much this season.

Fringe - 3.10 - The Firefly Review

It' been a long month for Fringe fans. Not only were we waiting with bated breath to find out exactly what was going to happen next, but the worries over the 'Fringe Friday' move and whether the show will last on it's new, and traditionally less successful timeslot. It is perhaps fitting that in our world and the world of the show, things look very dark, gloomy and foreboding; a nice and perhaps not unintended shout out to a previously Friday-Cancelled show 'Firefly' in the title of Fringe's returning episode.

Fringe - 3.09 - Marionette Review

After all that shit that hit that fan last week, with the mega episode that was 'Entrada', I was expecting a very transitional episode as Fringe moved into it's mid season storyline. I'd also expected this to be a bit of a teaser for what was to come; a set up to lure us all to head to Fringe's new Friday Time-slot, which as time goes on grows in confidence amongst Fringe fans. It may, just may, be a good thing.
'Marionette' was exactly what I had expected for a post-world-swapping episode, but it was actually a lot better than I thought it was going to be as well. I really really enjoyed it, and it made me think that the show actually has got a whole lot better at the 'story-of-the-week' episodes that used littered season one.

Fringe - 3.08 - Entrada Review

After last weeks set-up episode, getting all the characters exactly where they need to be, it became clear over the two week break, (whether it was the hype or the cast interviews circulating) that 'Entrada' was going to be something special. And so it was.
