‘FRINGE’ Photo Recap: “Brave New World – Part 2″
Physically, I may be sitting in a hotel room typing this on my laptop while listening to the Prince of Egypt soundtrack, but mentally and spiritually I’m still dancing in an imaginary conga line with the rest of the Fringe fandom because THAT WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER. (I know I say that a lot, but I think you know that this time I’m not exaggerating.) The season finale of Fringe was wondrous, magnificent, and all the other synonyms that are listed under “awesome” in the thesaurus. (I’m too lazy to type them all here.) It reminded me of this book I once read, where this guy had to save the world by dying and coming back to life, and this other guy built a huge boat for him and a bunch of animals to live on, and this other guy had a magical technicolor pea dream coat. That’s right, ya’ll. I’m talking about the Bible. This season was like one big long walk through the Old Testament, and the final episode marked the transition to the New Testament with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, AKA Olivia Dunham.
If you had asked me back in season one what the perfect finale episode would be, I probably would have described exactly what happened in “Brave New World, Part 2”: the whole team together, smiling and eating Red Vines, and Peter and Olivia HAVING A BABY TOGETHER. Of course, now that I’ve seen all the magical things Fringe has to offer, I would have to amend that vision to include Lincoln Lee (shirtless of course), Henry the cab driver, a musical number, Broyles on LSD, and AltLincoln and Altlivia riding a horse together in the background. (What can I say? I dream big.) But this finale was damn near perfect. And it certainly had more closure that I’m used to in my Fringe finales. Let’s get this party started!
‘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…
‘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.
