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: “Welcome to Westfield”
You know how you can tell that this was a fantastic episode of Fringe? Because Lincoln Lee wasn’t in it at all, and it didn’t even occur to me until the very end of the episode. “Welcome to Westfield” was like a throwback to classic Fringe, with the core three characters together on a potentially deadly adventure, which started out as a quest for a dessert item. Between Walter’s renewed passion for food, and Olivia’s flashes of memories from what seems to be the original timeline, it was almost like the real team was back together! Let’s go over some of the finer points of this week’s episode, in which the opening scene alone was enough to make it one of my favorite episodes of the season…
‘FRINGE’ Photo Recap: “Making Angels”
Paging Jasika Nicole to the Emmy desk. I thought I couldn’t possibly be more disgruntled about the lack of Emmy love for this show, but after seeing Jasika Nicole’s performances as both Astrids in this week’s episode, I’m already preparing my rage-filled diatribe for when she is inevitably overlooked come Emmy season, just as her costars have been for the past three seasons. She was so great in this episode that I didn’t even mind that Lincoln Lee was hardly in it at all. Let’s break it down through another highly analytical photo recap.
‘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.
‘Fringe’ Photo Recap: “Back to Where You’ve Never Been”
Fringe is back from hiatus! And this week’s episode “Back to Where You’ve Never Been” was full of action, excitement, and homoerotic undertones. In an attempt to break down the rich complexities of Fringe, I’ve boiled it down into a photo recap. I was inspired by the absolutely hilarious Vampire Diaries photo recaps by Price Peterson at TV.com. And thanks to FringeFiles.com for providing all the screen caps. Enjoy!
