Fringe: The Plateau  Season 3, Ep 3

In the red universe, a Rube Goldberg-esque series of events causes someone to die. Turns out, it's not for the first time and Fringe get called in to investigate. Olivia seems to be working well with her team, all the craziness behind her. So why does she sometimes see things that aren't there? Meanwhile Walternate reassures Broyles that he has nothing to worry about with blue-world Olivia acting as a Fringe agent, and why. [more inside]

Fringe: The Box  Rewatch   Season 3, Ep 2

In the blue universe, Fauxlivia does some homework with Newton to make her impersonation more plausible—nothing gives away the fact you're from an alternate universe like saying "Bone-o". Her studies are interrupted by a case, which turns out to be the same as the first job she's given Newton: retrieving a box. This must be a rather special box, because the men who were sent to retrieve it both died—yet the box has disappeared. Meanwhile, William Bell's last will and testament is read and turns out to contain a few surprises as well. [more inside]

Fringe: The Man From The Other Side  Season 2, Ep 18

A well-ordered mind is reflected in its well-ordered surroundings, which is maybe why Walter's lab is a mess. The Fringe team gets called into a murder victim, who has three puncture wounds in the soft palate. Peter unboxes an interesting find, and Walter goes chasing cars. Olivia goes to Verona, and Astrid sadly doesn't get to put her linguistic skills to work. Finally, an old adversary becomes a bridge-builder.

Fringe: White Tulip  Rewatch   Season 2, Ep 17

There's been an incident on a train (and we all know how much Walter loves trains). Looks like collective (contagious?) heart failure, since everyone is dead in their seats at the same time. All except for the the man who walked off the train. Peter has noticed that Walter has been evasive and distant, even for him. Astrid predicts the future, Broyles humblebrags about the FBIs capabilities, and Olivia
And Water writes a long letter to Peter. [more inside]

Fringe: Jacksonville   Season 2, Ep 14

Real coffee comes from a secret stash, and quakes are linked to global warming, while someone familiar works on a Pentagon annex - in New York. A quantum tectonic event, maybe, and a man dies twice.

Fringe: The Bishop Revival  Rewatch   Season 2, Ep 13

Fringe: Unearthed  Rewatch   Season 2, Ep 11

This episode was filmed during S1 but aired just prior to "Johari Window". For those of you following on DVD, it can be found as a special feature on Disc 6. Netflix streaming lists it as episode 21. A girl regains consciousness in a hospital, but will have some interesting scars. Peter asks the obvious and shows off his linguistic skill. Again. Walter has a theory. Charlie makes an anachronistic appearance, and later gets a fun chase scene. We find out what happened to test subjects 1 through 5. Walter has another theory. The Tibetan Book of the Dead is used as a coaster. Lightning fails to strike. Walter has a third theory. The priest has a theory. Olivia has a theory. She's also a friend who is a girl, and who carries a gun. Walter's final theory sounds a lot like the priest's. Occam's razor triumphs in the end, guess it's not Tuesday. Peter gets a hug. Olivia gets a warning. We get an ending, of sorts. [more inside]
