2.13 – “What Lies Below”
Fringe Reviews Added! 21200151 300x169

I feel like a broken record. So much so that I want to just write one beginning paragraph to use for the non mythology episodes of Fringe and just cut and paste…because in reality that’s all I’m doing. But as I’ve said before There are two choices when dealing with a show like Fringe with an overall story arc that has a lot of mystery to it. You either gradually introduce the mythology and interweave it through every episode in someway, slowly unraveling said mystery leaving true standalone episodes to be few and far between (and thus far more acceptable) or the way Fringe does it. BAM HUGE MYTHOLOGY EPISODE followed by 3-4 stagnant Fringe moments of the week. We are in that rut right now. It really slows down the show and in all honesty you could cut the season down completely and only watch 1/3 of it and have everything you need.

2.14 – “The Bishop Revivial”
Fringe Reviews Added! FRINGE 3 550x366 300x199


More straightforward Fringe fare just treading water waiting for the next mythology episode. Again the only saving grace in this week’s episode is Walter. And in this case it is quite the saving grace. The plotline is simple. A madman scientist comes up with a virus that is programmable to DNA. It can target specific DNA (such as those with brown eyes, or those in the same family). A Nazi dream come true…and of course it is a Nazi scientist behind it.
