Fringe Review: The Bullet that Saved the World

“Love.”

I spent this entire episode waiting for something, watching to see how Fringe would avoid doing the obvious, plotting out how the eventual something would be sad—but resolved, as clearly the Over-Therians were destined to return, so it would all work out. But, frankly, I was overthinking it.

The Fringe Podcast Episode 508-The Bullet That Saved The World

In episode 508 of The Fringe Podcast we share our thoughts on the shocking developments in the Fringe season 5 episode, “The Bullet That Saved the World.” We talk about the return of Broyles and the reunion he shared with the Fringe team, we give our opinions on the death of Etta and how she might come back into the show, and we discuss the effect her death may have on Peter and Olivia. We also talk about who might be revealed to be The Dove, the reappearance of old Fringe investigation items, Etta’s ability to teach others to block Observer mind reads, Manifest Destiny, and our new level of hatred for Windmark.

In our Science of Tomorrow segment, Clint discusses technologies used to regrow skin tissue, and in our Fringe Binge segment we announce an extension to our Bridge the Backstory Contest, Darrell’s appearance at New Media Expo coming up in January, and we report that we have been announced as finalists for the 2012 Podcast Awards!

Fringe Review/Analysis 5.04: A Turning Point that Could Jeopardize the Fringe Team’s Plan

“The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.” ― Lois Lowry, The Giver

This episode was sure to be controversial as early viewers warned that tissues would be needed and some outlets leaked that there would be an emotional death. I do have to say that I had a pretty good idea of what was coming due to set reports concerning the activities of a certain actress—or lack thereof. However, when that big moment came, I was not prepared. The script was written by Alison Schapker, who is one of the best Bad Robot team writers, having penned The Plateau, Marionette, Bloodline, The Last Sam Weiss, One Night In October, Enemy Of My Enemy and A Better Human Being. She’s great with meaningful and gut-wrenching stories, and this may be her Fringe magma opus.

The following is fairly long, but this episode deserves thorough treatment.
