The two part season finale is titled "Over There". Wikipedia has the description of each episode for those who want to read it. They should be very good.

I am not looking forward to episode 20. Musical performances?

wgauci · 2010-04-25, 11:30 AM

I just watched the Time Traveller episode from a few weeks ago. Did anyone catch the little Easter Egg when Olivia was looking though the medicine cabinet. There was a little sea horse figurine just like that one the show on the commercial buffers.

Yea it was a little weird. At least Walter was high when it told the story, which explained some of it. I've gotta say the first 5 minutes was funny, the next 25 boring and the last 25 I don't know because I switched over to Mavs-Spurs.

The final 3 episodes of the season should be very good though.

Is Fringe becoming that unpopular that there's hardly anybody talking about it?

I PVR'd Fringe and watch it in blocks.

The "Peter" episode set in 1985 was really cool in terms of produciton. They did managed to make John Noble (Walter) look younger, "The episode's opening titles have been redone as though it were a show from 1985, complete with an '80s version of the theme tune and decade-specific fringe science topics such as "stealth technology", "virtual reality", and "in-vitro fertilization"." and the reference to "Back To The Future" in the alternate universe's Theater marquee displays "starring Eric Stoltz"; "in our universe Stoltz was replaced by Michael J. Fox in the leading role early in production."

By the way, look for Anna Torv's photos in the march edition of Esquire magazine. You get the chance to see a pure Australian beauty without the dark FBI uniform she wears on the show

Anna Torv was gorgeous in the episode she did of The Pacific.

I enjoyed last night's episode, but didn't really get the quasi-musical theme. They should either do a full-blown musical parody if they wanted, or nothing at all. What I did like was how Walter Bishop projected elements of his own psyche into the story, meaning the over-arching plot still moved forward i.e. it didn't come to a complete stop, which can sometimes happen when a TV series does one of these thematic episodes.

She was in episode 5 "Peleliu Landing" which will rerun saturday May 15th at 6pm, during a Pacific marathon on HBO, for those of you who missed it. If you miss it again, June 22nd.

As for the Musical episode of Fringe, I knew J.J. Abrams wanted to do something special for Fringe that is opposite from the "feel" of the show. Back in January 2000 on series "Felicity", 2nd season, there was a tribute episode to The Twilight Zone. I don't follow "Lost", but I'm sure he did something special there as well, and on "Alias".

Yes, there was an episode in Season 4 of LOST called "The Constant", which was inspired by the series finale of Star Trek: TNG.

I liked how they had two endings to the story.

She played Virginia Grey, a gorgeous companion of John Basilone.

By the way, she was only in the first 5 minutes of Pacific's episode 5. I haven't watch the Pacific 6 to 10 yet, but based on IMDb, she appeared only on that episode...

The Fringe 2-part season finale was fantastic (much better when watched back-to-back using a PVR). It was exactly what we expected from J.J. Abrams. I found it intriguing that Alternate Olivia had the same hairdo as Jennifer Garner on Alias (another J.J. Abrams series from 2001-2006). I won't give out spoilers yet... but the cliffhanger was kinda expected.

NB Josh · 2010-05-21, 09:24 AM

Yea I saw the cliffhanger coming the very second that they started looking the same. I'll just say they so anyone who hasn't watched doesn't know what I'm talking about, and anyone who has watched does. It was a great finale. As soon as Lost and 24 finish next week Fringe will become my favourite current TV show.

polaris · 2010-05-21, 06:14 PM

Awesome finale. Good premise for the next season though. Olivia is much hotter with the darker hair
