I can't lie, I am an unabashed fan of Weis/Hickman. So you must take this review with that in mind. But as I read, I wonder how could somone ... http://worldsoforos.com/secondviews/2009/07/03/book-review-dragonships-of-vardas-volume-1-bones-of-the-dragon/ "There's More Than One of Everything" Wow. Now that's a finale! Twists, turns, and answers! Not enough to close the show out, but enough to satisfy Fringe enthusiasts for the time being. No surprise that Nina Sharp lives through her gunshot. We learn quickly enough that David Robert ... http://worldsoforos.com/secondviews/2009/06/30/review-fringe-1-20/ "The Road Not Taken" Fringe hurtles towards it's season finale and it's a great rollercoaster ride. Everything has been pointing towards this type of ending, even if a lot of it is setting up for the next episode. The Fringe event of the week involves a woman who seemingly explodes in ... http://worldsoforos.com/secondviews/2009/06/30/review-fringe-1-19/ "Midnight" "Midnight" is an episode that doesn't really do anything wrong, but still at the end left me wondering how much of it was really that worthwhile. It seemed that the whole episode was really all about the last 5 minutes. And admittedly a few good scenes between Walter ... http://worldsoforos.com/secondviews/2009/06/30/review-fringe-1-18/ "Bad Dreams" "Bad Dreams" was a wonderfully woven story from start to finish weaving mystery, suspense, character development, and a deepening mythos into one cohesive tale that was fun to watch. The first scene was as engrossing as it was disturbing watching our heroine push the mother of a young girl in ... http://worldsoforos.com/secondviews/2009/06/30/review-fringe-1-17/ "Unleashed" It was hard to find much fault in this episode and that may seem hypocritical given the fact that I've usually been negative about filler type episodes. It certainly was far from perfect, however, this one was what it was. A good monster story. Pretty typical as both monster ... http://worldsoforos.com/secondviews/2009/06/30/review-fringe-1-16/ "Inner Child" Another intriguing episode in a series that is starting to get more consistent in it's delivery. It's lows aren't quite as low but their highs are still pretty high. The Fringe Event of the week turns up in a little boy discovered to have been living underground in a ... http://worldsoforos.com/secondviews/2009/06/28/review-fringe-1-15/ "Ability" "Ability" makes it two really landmark episodes in the direction of the series as a whole. Once it began with a recap of David Robert Jones' escape, the episode spends the rest of the time really delving into Dunham and her importance in the realm of Fringe. Jones' ... http://worldsoforos.com/secondviews/2009/06/28/review-fringe-1-14/ "The Transfromation" After a shaky and somewhat redundant opening, the episodes turns into an interesting tale. The beginning is reminiscent of the pilot as a Fringe EVENT takes place aboard a plane which causes it to crash. What? A plane crash in an Abrams show?!? Get out of here! What ... http://worldsoforos.com/secondviews/2009/06/28/review-fringe-1-13/ "The No-Brainer" "The No-Brainer" is an apt title for this episode. As in, it's a "no-brainer" to skip this one when rewatching season 1. It's not that it's horrible. It's just....there's not a lot of substance to it. There is a vague attempt at taking a look at ... http://worldsoforos.com/secondviews/2009/06/27/review-fringe-1-12/
