Music and Fringe

Music has always been closely associated with Fringe.  During the first season of Fringe the show relied heavily on pop music to grab and hold viewer attention.  I have to admit I was never a big fan of Lady GaGa.  But that all changed when Olivia walked into the bar...

The Next Love Triangle on Fringe.

Many of you know I am not a big fan of romance on Fringe.  However,  I think that puts me in the distinct minority.  Just go over to tumblr.com and search out Fringe and you will be bombarded with Peter, Olivia and Fauxlivia romance posts. So recently I was over at...

Walter: World(s) Worst Father?

A happy Father's Day to everyone out there!  I was taking "Inter-dimensional Rover" for a walk today and musing over this post and what I wanted to write.  Naturally, it had to do with all things Fringe and specifically our beloved Walter.  To answer the question...

Observing the Observers

I was perusing the most recent issue of Scientific American which contained a nice article on "Quantum Entanglement"  (what Fringee doesn't get excited when they read those words?) when I happened upon a side box on "Observing the Observer".   (More Fringee...

Love Hurts. Is it Killing Fringe?

Remember the big hoo-hah over Fringe moving to a Friday night?  "No, it will kill the show!" cried the faithful.  Then the Fringe show-runners dropped a few nuggets about upping the romance between Peter and Olivia.  It seems the Friday night faithful that habituate...

Fringe Season 4 Promo Suggestion

This will be a short post...I was listening to Guster's newest album, "Easy Wonderful," on my way home from work today.  My favorite song on the album is "Hercules."  It struck me that the lyrics in the chorus of this song are so fitting to Peter and Olivia's story at...

Fringe Re-Watch Season 1 Episode 4 “The Arrival”

The episode "The Arrival" was the fourth episode of Fringe, a slot that I feel is quite important to any show. New viewers are only going to give a new show three or four episodes worth of opportunity (if that) to entice them into sticking around.  Shows from...

Olivia Dunham: Eyes Wide Shut

In the penultimate episode of season three of Fringe it was revealed how Olivia Dunham is inextricably linked with Peter in the operation of the Doomsday Machine.  Thanks to an ancient scroll "unearthed" in the museum,  we see a sketch of Olivia with her eyes closed...

Peter Bishop and “The Weight of the World”

A long time ago in a country far, far away there was an iconic photo taken of President John F. Kennedy.  At the time Kennedy was dealing with the heavy pressure of the cold war and the impending invasion of Cuba that culminated in the "Bay of Pigs" crisis not to...

Peter in the Astral Plane?

As a kid I was a fan of Sliders. Quinn, a young genius, had found a way to travel through universes. By accident, he and 3 other people end up traveling from one universe to the other, hoping to find their home universe some day. I remember one episode where Quinn...
