‘FRINGE’ Photo Recap: “The End of All Things”
Fringe is charging full-speed towards the season’s end, which means tons of teasing tidbits of backstory, high-stakes confrontations, emotional gut-punches, and dynamic fisticuffs. So why do I still feel so empty inside? Probably because this episode had a lot of Nina Sharp, and also Peter’s dream-walk down memory lane with September was more than a little soul-crushing (in a good way). I hope you’re up on your Princess Bride, Star Wars, and Say Anything references, because this week’s recap is chock full of ‘em. (Sorry if I got a little carried away.)
‘FRINGE’ Photo Recap: “A Better Human Being”
This season of Fringe is on a serious roll right now! It’s tough to keep the magic alive halfway through your fourth season, but Fringe is doing it hard core, and I am loving it! Let’s dive into this past week’s episode, shall we?
When we last left off, Olivia was trying to seduce Peter, who has been playing hard to get because he still isn’t sold on the fact that she has now merged consciousnesses with his Olivia. He seems understandably wary, like he thinks this might be a trap designed to test him, to see if he’ll just sleep with any Olivia that claims to remember all their time together. Afterwards, Olivia regressed to her normal rebooted self, and played it off like it was no big thing.

‘FRINGE’ Photo Recap: “Forced Perspective”
Olivia & Lincoln look for clues in the home of the man from a girl's vision of an impending catastrophe.
This was the first episode of Fringe in 2012 to focus only on the primary universe, which is to say, it was significantly lower on the “fun” scale than the previous two eps. But a lackluster episode of Fringe is still more exciting than a season finale of NCIS, so I’m not complaining. (As long as there is at least one Lincoln Lee in every episode, I consider it a fantastic hour of TV.) “Forced Perspective” centered around a girl who has visions of people’s deaths. It featured some disturbing developments on the Nina-is-evil front, and an unintentionally hilarious scene in which Lincoln crouched in a corner of the suspect’s apartment while sorting through papers on the floor. Let’s get the ball rolling on the photo breakdown of this week’s episode.
