Fringe Summer Rewatch: #101 "Pilot"

Welcome to the first of many installments of a new feature we'll run here over the summer hiatus titled "Fringe Summer Rewatch."

Check out our introduction to this new feature here: http://www.fringetelevision.com/2011/07/fringe-summer-rewatching-fringe-seasons.html

Sam Spade, Aimee Long, Dani, David Wu, Dennis, oranfly, and I will rewatch and review all 65 episodes of Fringe and pen our thoughts.

What will make this fun is for all of you to comment on these episodes as well.

So sit back and relax, and enjoy "Fringe Summer" here at FringeTelevision.


THE PILOT EPISODE, or Fringe 101

Do you remember the first time you watched the pilot? I do. I remember being totally engrossed in it, especially being grossed out by the co-pilot's jaw falling off on Flight 627. Those poor people!
I also remember a strong sense of wanting to know more about these incredibly dysfunctional people named Walter Bishop, Peter Bishop, and Olivia Dunham, and where they were headed.
I wanted to know why any woman would agree to have a nasty-looking probe shoved into her neck, and a cocktail of drugs shoved into her vein, and lie naked in a rusty deprivation tank.
Peter told Olivia, "I hope your guy is worth it," and I was thinking the same thing.

This is where our endless list of Fringe-related questions started, such as:

How did Walter end up in St. Claire's?
Why is Walter so worried about Peter's physical state?
What in the world did John Scott's last words mean?
Why did John Scott murder Richard Steig?
Who else is John Scott work for?
And why did John Scott try to run Olivia off the road for Pete's sake?
Was that Morse Code the streelight was flashing? Don't they know Morse Code works best as audio?
What is The Pattern that Nina Sharp refers to?
Broyles tells Olivia "We're impressed." Who's "we"?
How can Nina Sharp's Massive Dynamic people question John Scott who's been dead for 5 hours?
What does the man's voice say while Olivia is staring at her uncle's kyak that reads "Zeno?"
It sounds like "Zeno sink." Definitely not "heat sink." But still...could be a reference to the heat sink machine we see for the first time in "Over There:Part 2."

And as Peter Bishop says, "What happened on that plane is just the beginning."
This episode, written by JJ Arams, Alex Kurtzman, and Roberto Orci, is extremely well-written, and got me immediately and hopelessly hooked on 'Fringe.'

Other Notable Stuff From The Pilot:
John Scott tells Liv he loves her but she doesn't reply, but for different reasons than Peter's not replying in 'The Day We Died."

Did you notice Olivia's cut on her forehead is similar to Peter's when he wakes up in 3.21, "The Last Sam Weiss?"

"So you're saying my father was Dr. Frankenstein?" Well, Peter does look like Frankenstein's monster when he wakes up in 3.21!

"Excellent. Let's make some LSD!" We learn quickly that Walter Bishop is fond of his homemade drugs. And of course, LSD takes on a much bigger role in 2.04 and 3.19. (I hope 4.19 will be another hallucinogenic episode-mushrooms maybe?)

"I still think that this is deeply irresponsible. And believe me, I would know." The scene where Peter is putting the electrodes on Olivia's chest, these words, and his voice? The very first of many sexy P/O scenes in Fringe.

Walter to Olivia: "You lose being trusted. Strange how important that is once it's gone."
Now that we've seen 3.22 it gives a new perspective to these words.

There's a tombstone in the graveyard of Liv's mind that reads "He's not dead."
We learned in Season 2 that probably meant Peter. Now it probably has a double meaning, that the Peter we've known through all 3 seasons, is not dead. I often wonder if it also means AlternateBell is not dead(and our Dr. Bell, for that matter!). Bell told us in "Over There:Part 2" that Alternate Bell died in a car accident as a young man, but can we believe that?

We get our first look at Nina Sharp here, in charge of Massive Dynamic. She's blunt, cocky, and obviously withholding information.

I am still fascinated today with the Peter Bishop job bio Olivia reads on the way to Iraq:
wildland fireman, congo pilot, college professor. We learn in "Inner Child" that he also swept the floor in a meat-packing plant. Like Massive Dynamic, what didn't he do? I really hope we get to see him pilot a big plane, like the C-130 transport plane he requisitioned but was refused in 2.02, later in this series.



We will end each of the 65 commentaries with "If Peter Bishop Never Existed."
Hopefully this will get our brains moving to understand the massive fall-out of a Fringe world(or worlds) sans Peter.


If Peter Bishop Never Existed in the pilot episode...
It's likely Olivia couldn't have gotten Walter out of St. Claire's. Or if she did manage to, she didn't speak "Walterese"-Peter did that, so it is likely that Walter would not have been able to save John Scott, and John Scott probably would have died in the lab. That means he did not kill the Brazilian guy and he did not try to run Olivia off the road. And if it happened that way, that means John Scott, whether he was a double agent or not, died a hero in the line of duty.

If Peter never existed, I can't imagine Olivia would have agreed to caretake Walter Bishop, but she might have, in a last ditch effort to save the man she loved. Can you imagine it?

Fringe Summer: Rewatching Fringe Seasons 1, 2, and 3

During the current summer hiatus Sam Spade, Aimee Long, Dani, David Wu, Dennis, oranfly, Xindilini, birdandbear, and I will be rewatching all 65 episodes of Fringe. Starting on Monday, July 18th, we'll briefly post our impressions of every Fringe episode, a new one each day, keeping an eye out for things that present a different view post-Season 3.

Joshua Jackson Announcing The 2011 Emmys Nominations

Here's Josh Jackson annoucing the Emmys Nominations.

No Emmy Love For Fringe

Despite all the good reviews, the hard work of the actors, writters and every one who works on Fringe. The academy ignore our series again. The limited capacity of the academy voters left me surprised, but this was something we could expect.

Fringe was surpassed by no less important and good series as HBO's Boardwalk Empire, The Good Wife of CBS, AMC's Mad Men DirecTV Friday Night Lights, Dexter Showtime and HBO's Game Of Thrones.

In the same way Anna Torv failed a nomination this year despite all the effort and hard work that made this season playing 5 versions of the same character, each with a different personality. The Australian actress was beaten by Elisabeth Moss Desplayado Mad Men, Connie Britton of Friday Night Lights, Mariska Hargitay of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Mireille Enos The Killing, Julianna Margulies The Good Wife Kathy Bates and Harry's Law. All of the actresses on the list are very good but for me Anna was so much better that couple of them.

On the other hand and the same story last year, John Noble was also beaten by John Slattery of Mad Men, Andre Braugher Men Of A Certain Age, Walton Goggins of Justified, Peter Dinklage Game Of Thrones, Josh Charles The Good Wife and Alan Cumming also of The Good Wife.

This is not to say that the actors or shows are less important or do not deserve it, but the lack of variety in the nomination has left many wanting to put Amber to each member of the Academy and the Kodak Theatre.

But we actually get one nomination for: Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media :

Fringe: Division • FOX.com • Bad RobotProductions in Association with Warner Bros.Television

Warner Bros. Television

Bad Robot Productions

Well cortexi's Season 4 start fillming today, so let's keep watching and supporting the show like we allways do.

Fringe Scoop:Dirty Sexy Grad Michelle Krusiec Joins Cast...But Who Is She Playing?!

Fringe Scoop: Dirty Sexy Grad Michelle Krusiec Joins Cast… But Who Is She Playing?!
by Michael Ausiello

It looks like Fringe fans have another Season 4 mystery to chew on this summer.

A Fox rep confirms that actress Michelle Krusiec, best known for her roles as Darling daughter-in-law Mei-Ling Hwa on Dirty Sexy Money and Maddison’s stepmom on Secret Life of the American Teenager, is joining the Fox thriller in the recurring role of, um, “New Female Character.”

Suffice it to say, producers are keeping a very tight lid on the details surrounding their new heroine (or villainess). And don’t bother checking Krusiec’s Twitter feed for clues. All she would divulge is that she leaves “for Vancouver this week to start filming.”

Thoughts? Theories? Hit the comments!

Fringedom Wants A FRINGE-CON!

This afternoon, a fellow Fringe fan started a petition on Twitter, also known as a 'twitition,' for FOX Broadcasting's parent company, Warner Brothers, to start a Fringe Convention(henceforth, Fringe-Con).

As Walter Bishop would say, "This is fantastic news!"

The twitition creator says that by signing you are "strongly encouraging Warner Brothers to start a convention just for Fringe."

"Sign this Petition if:-You live in Fringedom-You are a huge fan of Fringe-You want Warner Brothers to know how big and Universal Fringe's Fan base is.-You believe that Fringe should have its own Convention.-You believe that there will be a hole in the universe if WB doesn't Create Fringe-Con."

If that sounds good to you, please use the link below and sign the petition.
Remember, every great journey begins with a single step!
