If I’m not mistaken — and I don’t think I am — the next episode of Fringe, December 2nd’s curtly titled “Safe,” is the last new episode we fans will be getting from FOX until the end of January next year.
Bummer! So, enjoy the latest paranormal adventure while you can, although repeats will air occasionally during the lull.
The central perplexing plotline this time around involves a string of bank robberies, hence the title, which also refers to the additional meaning of being out of harm’s way.
Of course, Team Olivia quickly determines the physics-defying thefts are related to the one …read more

Next on Fox’s Fringe — which is coming along quite nicely, although it’s nowhere near as good or intriguing as The X-Files — is tonight’s new episode “The Dreamscape.” Note that it starts at the special time of 9:08pm EST and ends at the awkward time of 10:07pm.
After a Massive Dynamic employee takes a flying leap out of a window because he believes butterflies are on the attack, Olivia decides it’s time for another trip to that tank, and you know which one I’m talking about if you watch the show.
Her reason is to finally get her allegedly dead …read more

“The Equation,” the November 18 episode of Fox’s Fringe, spotlight’s the show’s most entertaining character by far: John Noble’s Walter Bishop, of course.
When a kidnapper’s latest victim is discovered to be a young music prodigy, a clue from the abduction — flashing lights — leads Walter to investigate its relationship to a fellow patient he knew at St. Claire’s Hospital.

Fox is airing a repeat of Fringe (“The Same Old Story”) this Tuesday, October 28, and the following Tuesday is the all-important Election Day here in the United States. That means the next fresh installment for Team Olivia is November 11th’s “In Which We Meet Mr. Jones.”
During the episode, a deadly parasite with — what else? — Pattern overtones forces Walter and his helpers to rush to find a cure after it afflicts a dying FBI agent. But, that’s not all … there’s more.
In addition, Olivia journeys all the way to Germany to gather information from a prisoner …read more

Episode: Power HungryOriginal Air Date: October 14, 2008
The main plot of the “Power Hungry” episode of Fringe concerns a dorky guy with the power to control electricity. As fantastic as that sounds, the episode belongs to FBI Agent Olivia Dunham, or more precisely, her presumed-dead former partner and lover John Scott. I cannot tell you how happy that makes me since we’re talking major, major Mark Valley fan here; I was struck with grief when his character died in the pilot, and nothing thrills me more than having him back, hallucination or not.
I also love the way …read more

The October 21st Fringe is called “The Cure,” so it’s no surprise the episode is all about a deadly disease.
More specifically, a missing woman shows up in Massachusetts, which would normally be good news. But, in this case, everyone the woman encounters ends up dying … painfully. Team Olivia investigates and unearths more weirdness for the Pattern archives involving radiation and illegal human drug trials.
And, for fans yearning to know more about the show’s lead character — FBI Agent Dunham, of course — there’s supposed to be a surprising revelation about her past, too.
We have almost two weeks …read more

Original Air Date: September 23, 2008
“The Ghost Network” is another twisty episode that’s not at all what it initially seems to be about. On the plus side, it begins and ends with Olivia’s supposedly dead former partner and lover John Scott; I’m glad to see he still figures into the underlying conspiracy story.
On the minus side — and call me picky, but this is an increasingly sorer point for me — the jarring backdrops that look nothing like Boston whatsoever are beginning to pull me out of the story at the worst possible moments.
A mysterious bad-guy meet-up at South …read more

The day we’ve been waiting for is finally here. Tonight at 8pm EST, the highly and roundly anticipated J.J. Abrams co-creation Fringe will premiere on Fox.
Take a look at the first three minutes of the special 95-minute pilot episode in the video following the jump, courtesy of IGN. Talk about super freaky!
Now I’m more ready than ever to behold what many are predicting will be this season’s massive breakout hit. That wouldn’t bother me one bit if the series manages to live up to all of the hype.

We’ve already seen the cast of Fox’s highly anticipated paranormal FBI drama Fringe in the first gallery of photos released back in June. Now take a look at the members again in a second set of snaps that are artsier, darker, and way spookier. I like very much!
