‘FRINGE’ Photo Recap: “Brave New World – Part 1″
Do you ever wonder if the Fringe writers have like a checklist in the writers’ room so they can make sure that each episode elicits all of the various reactions within the range of human emotion that you can possibly fit into an hour of television? Based on this episode, I worked up a list, complete with emoticons (which I imagine is how the pros do it). See if you can guess what scenes match the responses:
- “Holy s**t that was awesome!!!”
- “WTF?!”
- [Adorbs overload]
- “LOLz!”
- [Swoon]
- “Wait, am I watching Lost?”
- [Fringe nostalgia]
- “MY HEART WILL NEVER BE WHOLE AGAIN”
- [Plaidgasm]
- “Seriously though. What just happened?”
- [Jaw = floor]
- “I’m hungry…”
- “I CAN’T HANDLE ALL THESE FEELINGS THAT I’M FEELING”
- [Emotional grab bag]
…Okay, so I just wanted an excuse to use the black sheep emoticon. Also, since when is “pizza” an emotion? I’m just saying, it was on the long list of emoticons that I had way too much fun researching for the purposes of this highly scientific chart. But anyway, the point is, this show always makes me feel like I’ve been slapped in the face repeatedly. This episode definitely set the stage for next week. And apparently that stage involves a very not-dead William Bell, which begs the question, what the hell is going on?! Come with me on a magical journey of discovery through this episode, and watch me try to make sense of it by making nonsense of it.

‘FRINGE’ Photo Recap: “Worlds Apart”
Okay, I’ll just come out and say it. I know we’re all thinking it, so let’s put it out there: my new favorite pairing on this show is Peter and plaid. Seriously, how had I never noticed before how amazing he looks in plaid? It goes so well with his rugged Canadian handsomeness. He looks like a scientist who raided a lumberjack’s closet. And how fortunate that we had plenty of plaid to distract us from all the sadness of this week’s episode.

‘Fringe’ Renewed for a Fifth and Final Season; In Related News, I Believe It Is Possible to Die of Happiness
My full reaction to this amazing news is forthcoming, but for now, suffice it to say, HOLY BALLS YOU GUYS WE DID IT THIS IS HAPPENING THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND WE WILL GET TO SEE A FIFTH SEASON OF FRINGE SDJGHIUGRWE!?>!#
Whoops, sorry, I got a little carried away there. Anyway, I don’t want to make a big deal out of it or anything, but it’s pretty much the best news since this happened. Fringe is getting a miraculous fifth season run of 13 episodes, which will bring the total number of episodes to 100. If you haven’t read about it yet, check out Entertainment Weekly‘s announcement, along with a teaser trailer for season 5. REJOICE, fellow Fringe fans! And a big group hug/high-five/drum circle/conga line of awesomeness for the entire Fringe fandom. You guys are wonderful! Thanks for taking this ride with me. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to find another box of tissues and fry some bacon for my celebratory peanut-butter and bacon sandwich.

‘FRINGE’ Photo Recap: “Letters of Transit”
Here’s the thing about Fringe: There’s only so many times they can crank up the level of epic-ness before we run out of words in the English language to describe it. At this point I feel like I need to make up a word to describe the mind-blowing, jaw-dropping, heart-stopping, earth-shattering awesomeness of this show. So here it is: extrasplendinifferous. That’s my new word. This season of Fringe has been extrasplendinifferous. And this week’s balls-to-the-wall future-set episode was no exception. “Letters of Transit” could easily have been the first part of an epic sci-fi movie. Or a spin-off series. Or a graphic novel companion series. Or an amusement park ride. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS. That’s another great thing about Fringe—just when you think, “What could they possibly do that they haven’t already done? We’ve got multiple universes, rebooted timelines, flying porcupines… Where else can they take this?” they pull something huge out of their magic hat of fantastic ideas. You thought David Robert Jones was a problem? WRONG. The Observers taking over the world, now THAT’S a problem. I’m sorry Fox, but how are you gonna watch that episode and not give Fringe a fifth season? HOW, I ASK YOU.

‘Fringe’ as ‘Star Wars’
Happy Fringe Friday everyone! Since I had so much fun dressing the cast up as the Wizard of Oz crew last week, I figured I’d try putting a Fringe spin on one of the most beloved sci-fi legacies of all time: Star Wars! Because the world could always use more Fringe crossover fun and I have no life. Let’s do a quick character rundown of who’s who…
