Is There More Than One Final Episode For Fringe?
In last night's season finale of Fringe, there were some reality-splitting revelations and at least one crazy-ass Abrams lens flare moment. And it was awesome, but confusing to the uninitiated. Allow me to explain. Spoilers!

Spinal Fluid With A Side of Syphillis, on Fringe
Nothing like a little recreational spine-severing, Syphillis-engineering, and more hints about a secret underground science society known as ZFT. That's why last night's Fringe made us feel all grody-happy inside. Spoilers! More »

A Monster That's Half-Snake, Half-Bat, and Half-Tank on Fringe
Fringe never lets me down. In last night's episode there was a giant monster that defied all laws of science and made me think of the Trogdor song from Homestar Runner. Spoilers ahead! More »

Fringe Is All About Drugs and Chainsaws
Last night was the last episode of mad science melodrama Fringe until January, and we're going to miss all those gory human experiments and underground, drug-taking researchers. I skipped Fringing out last week, so here's the only clip you need to see from that episode: Walter explaining what is best in life to Olivia. Last night brought some awesome Walter one-liners too.

Walter and Peter Do Some Badass Bonding on Fringe
I know I'm in danger of becoming a rampant apologist for Fringe, but goddamn it I really like this blood-soaked, dorky show. It's like a horror comic that I can't put down because just when the dialog or plot get completely preposterous, the writers throw in an exploding brain or conspiracy parasite or a kid in a mind-control helmet watching his mother rot while he invents a teleportation machine. Even though last night's episode had that kind of good stuff, the best part was watching mad scientist Walter and his rakish son Peter get all badass - and emotionally schmoopy. Spoilers ahead.

Shocking Brains and Revelations on Fringe
Last night on JJ Abrams' series Fringe, we discovered that reanimating the damaged brain in a dead human body is a good way to explore family relationships. There have been hints all season that mad scientist Walter actually built emo son Peter as an experiment, and now thanks to a big old overshare (see clip) we know more about that. Did he really need to use a car battery when he had a giant lab with fancy crap in it? Spoilers ahead! More »

Fringe Gives Us a Bloody Birthday Present This Week
If I'd had any doubts about Fringe becoming my new guilty pleasure, this week erased them. I am now officially a watcher of Fringe, rather than a sampler of it. Last night's episode "The Cure" gave us a healthy dose of WTF back story on several of our main characters — Agent Olivia and Mad Scientist Spawn Peter — as well as some frankly awesome exploding heads. It was the first time that the show really gelled, and I'll tell you why. Spoilers ahead! More »

The Not-So-Secret Fantasy of Every Fringe Fan
This week on Fringe, a hopeless dork who lives with his mom and has a dead-end job finds himself made into something "special" by science. Though this kind of plot crops up in nearly every Fringe episode, last night's "Power Hungry" gave it a unique (and funny) twist. And in the process it revealed what I think is probably one of the most powerful fantasy-lures that keeps people coming back to this show. Spoilers ahead, you maniacs. More »

Fringe Tries Its Hand At Torture Porn
This week on The Walter Bishop Show, we follow the mad scientist himself on his quest for a root beer float, almost meet some more Bishop relatives, shoot pushy guns and watch Peter grow. But mostly, "The Arrival" marked the Fringe's journey into the deep dark world of torture porn — and on another positive note, this episode was happily piano-free. More »

Fringe: The U.S. Government is Using Psychics to Tap the Ghost Network
I know there are going to be Fringe haters out there the whole season, but I have to admit the show sort of won my heart last night. Maybe it was the moment mad scientist Walter Bishop started singing the words "when I was in a mental institution," or maybe it was the pro-homebrew drug agenda, or maybe it was the scene where an office drone freaks out and does cheesy comic book art in his cubicle. The weirdo dark comedy tone in the show really came together in last night's episode, "The Ghost Network," which was all about wiretapping the spirit world. OMG DEA FBI! Spoilers ahead! More »
