The Fringe Podcast Rewatch

Joining us for this incredible season 2 finale from the fringe of America is Patty from Canadia, and we are so excited to be talking about this episode with her! We, of course (and by we, we mean Patty), tackle some of the science in this episode and whether or not it all makes sense. We also talk about our favorite moments from this finale and how amazing Anna is in it, and we talk about aspects of the third season that this finale potentially foreshadows. We get some amazing feedback as usual, this time from Geoff (xforce11), Eric, Michael London (creator of Fringe Connections), Damon, Erin, and ShelkyBean! We will be back in April for season 3 when we discuss the season 3 premiere (simply titled “Olivia”). If you have thoughts about the season 3 premiere, reach out to us via one of the contact methods listed below, and remember that you can now sign up to be a co-host for a season 3 episode! We would love to have you on the show to help us tackle an episode!

We also hear from some of our Fringetastic listeners sharing their thoughts about this episode, listeners like Anna (not Torv), Rory, Prati, Eric, Geoff (xforce11), ShelkyBean, and Patty from Canadia!

Join us along with Rachel (whose voice you will likely agree is just awesome) as we discuss the penultimate episode of Fringe’s second season! Returning to the main Fringe canon, we find out where Peter went after disappearing at the end of “The Man from the Other Side” - none other than the literal northwest, Washington State! Here he meets Sheriff Ann Mathis (one of the show’s best episodic characters played wonderfully by The Goonies’ Martha Plimpton) as he helps her investigate a string of murders that feel uncomfortably close to Newton’s M.O. Meanwhile, Olivia and Astrid help Walter deal with the aftermath of Peter leaving. Rachel helps us untangle all of the references that this episode has to the classic show Twin Peaks, and we get wonderful feedback from new feedbacker Prati, Eric from Pennsylvania, Patty from Canadia, Rory, Erin, Geoff, and ShelkyBean! Join us next time as we discuss the first half of the incredibly epic season 2 finale, “Over There,” when we will be joined by the creator of The Fringemunks, David Wu! We would love to hear your thoughts about the first part, so feel free to reach out to us with your thoughts! You can also now sign up to be a co-host for a season 3 episode, so go check that out if you’re interested!

Geoff (xforce11) joins us for this episode to discuss the first of four especially whacky Fringe episodes (of which we would get one each season from here on out). In this one, Walter, deeply troubled after the disappearance of Peter, tells Ella a story in which Olivia is a noir detective investigating the disappearance of Peter after he stole Walter’s mechanical heart, except, as Walter tells Ella more than once, things are not quite as they seem. We talk about our thoughts on the short musical numbers, the noir atmosphere, and the many anachronisms. We also hear from listeners like you, including Rachel, Eric from Pennsylvania, Erin, Rory, ShelkyBean, and Damon! Be sure to join us next time when we travel to Washington State to see what Peter is up to and meet one of the show’s best episodic characters, Martha Plimpton’s Sheriff Mathis! We will be joined by the aforementioned Rachel and would love to hear your thoughts on “Northwest Passage,” so please feel free to reach out to us!

The Man From the Other Side is (at least in correct people’s opinions) one of the best episodes of the entire series of Fringe! Something that we had been anticipating for such a long time - the culmination of the secret that Walter has been keeping for so long and it finally being exposed to Peter. In this climactic, pivotal episode (which really, in a lot of ways, leads fairly directly into the incredible two-part season finale in a few episodes), Peter finally inadvertently discovers that he is from the Redverse, and the scene that follows is one of the best acted, most emotional scenes of the entire series, with absolutely top-notch acting from both Josh Jackson and, of course, John Noble! Join us this week as we discuss this amazing episode with longtime member of the Golden Spiral Media community, Cory Metcalfe! We also get some fantastic feedback from listeners - including Geoff (xforce11), Eric from Pennsylvania, Rory, ShelkyBean, and Erin! Next up, we will be discussing “Brown Betty,” Fringe’s first of four whacky, out-of-the-box episodes, and the aforementioned Geoff will be on board with us for that! We would love to hear your thoughts about the episode, so please feel free to reach out to us! We would love to include you in the feedback section!

Damon (not Lindelof) joins us this week to discuss this beloved fan favorite episode “White Tulip,” co-starring the talented Peter Weller as Dr. Alistair Peck! The episode follows Dr. Peck as he tries repeatedly to travel back in time to the day his fiancée was killed in a car accident so that he can be reunited with her. It’s a beautiful episode with a powerful ending that sets the stage for Peter finally learning the truth of his origin in the next episode. Listen in as we discuss the different rules of time travel depending on the story and what rules Fringe seems to be establishing, the phenomenal acting bounced off back and forth between John Noble and Peter Weller, and so much more! We also get some incredible feedback from listeners like you, including Rory, Geoff (xforce11), Michael London, Eric from Pennsylvania, ShelkyBean, and Linda Is Lost! Join us next time for our discussion of the amazing episode “The Man from the Other Side” which will feature Cory Metcalfe as our guest host!

This is another great episode on this roller-coaster of Fringe episodes as we near the incredible season finale! This time, we are returning to the topic of Cortexiphan subjects as we meet a new one - James Heath, and we are joined by Marianne this week as we discuss this episode so obviously inspired by the board game and film Clue! We discuss the references to Clue as well as the amazing performances in this episode, especially from Anna Torv who we all seem to agree is the MVP of this episode. We also share our enthusiasm around Sam Weiss and how happy we are to see him again, while also lamenting that his enigmatic lines in this episode about his origins are never satisfactorily explained. You can also expect to hear incredible feedback from frequent feedbackers Rory, Erin, Geoff (xforce11), Eric, Patty from Canadia, and ShelkyBean! We hope that you will join us not only for this episode but also for the next episode when we discuss the fan favorite episode “White Tulip” with Damon, but until then, feel free to reach out to us with your feedback because we would love to feature you in our feedback segment!

We are so excited to finally be talking about this phenomenal episode of Fringe - the highly anticipated episode in which we finally get the story of how and why Peter was abducted from the Redverse. When last we left our heroes, Olivia’s “glimmer” ability kicked in just before she and Peter went on their very first date, leading her to realize that Peter is originally from the Redverse. Walter pleads with Olivia to not tell him, and in this episode (which features a fun, synthy ‘80s rendition of the theme music), we are taken back to 1985 as Walter sits down with Olivia to tell her the story. Just about everything about this episode is perfect. The cinematography makes it seem almost movie-like, and John Noble, Blair Brown, and Orla Brady all give Emmy-worthy performances!

Join us as well as returning co-host Michael London of Fringe Connections as we discuss all of that and so much more! You can also expect to hear phenomenal feedback from Damon, ShelkyBean, Eric from Pennsylvania, Rory, Patty from Canadia, Erin, and Hannah! If you would like to contribute feedback like they did for this incredible episode, be sure to check out our contact methods listed below! We would love to hear from you, and be sure to join us next time for our discussion of “Olivia. In the Lab. With the Revolver” which will feature another guest co-host - Marianne!

We have finally arrived where Fringe is arguably at its absolute best, a block of episodes that even the showrunners referred to as a “rollercoaster.” Olivia’s Cortexiphan ability comes back into play in this episode when she travels to the titular Jacksonville, Florida where the Cortexiphan trials took place. She must confront fear on so many levels, ultimately temporarily saving the day but making a horrifying discovery. We are joined by Danielle (DillyDilly) in this episode and also share amazing feedback from Erin, Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), ShelkyBean, Patty from Canadia, Emily (also known as The Soggy Nacho), and Anna (not Torv)!

Join us this week for our discussion of “The Bishop Revival” as we unpack a little bit of the Bishop family history in this very purple episode about a Nazi scientist who somehow has not aged since the 1940s and is carrying out deadly experiments to advance the Nazi agenda. It’s an episode with a fascinating fringe science behind it, and we dive into the colors that we see in this episode as well as the several lines of dialogue that are so multilayered on rewatch. We get some truly awesome feedback from several listeners, including Geoff (xforce11), ShelkyBean, new contributor Morgan (also known in the Redverse as The Strawberry Supreme), Eric, and Patty from Canadia! If you would like to contribute feedback like they did, be sure to check out our contact methods listed below!

We are rediscovering what lies below this week on the show, which includes a seemingly sentient virus that comes from ten miles underground, the feelings that are obviously blooming between Olivia and Peter, and Walter’s long buried secret. We discuss dialogue that we may or may not have caught the significance of back in 2010 and our thoughts about whether this standalone episode has any staying power. (Spoiler alert - yes, it does, especially because of that intense final scene!) We also get a lot of amazing feedback for this episode from Geoff (xforce11), The Best Em, Eric, ShelkyBean, Linda is Lost, Rory, and Patty from Canadia!

We are finally back to the main season 2 storyline in “Grey Matters,” an episode that gives us quite a lot to think about when it comes to Walter, so we are not only excited to be talking about this episode but are also very excited to have Mark joining us as a co-host! This episode (properly) introduces us to Thomas Jerome Newton, arguably the big bad of season 2, and we share some of our thoughts on him, such as how his politeness reminds us a bit of David Robert Jones. We also touch upon our favorite moments from this episode and the wonderful character dynamics that we get, as well as touch upon the color palette of the episode.

You can also expect to hear from regular feedbackers ShelkyBean, Eric, Geoff (xforce11), Rory, and our favorite whacky Canadian - Patty, so if you would like to be a part of the discussion and contribute feedback to the show, please do so via one of the contact methods listed below! We would love to hear from some more Cortexifans! There are also still a few episodes of season 2 open for a co-host opportunity, so if you think that what Mark did with us on this episode sounds fun, hit up the Community Portal and sign up!

“Snakehead” ended up calling for a lot of discussion around the overarching themes and messages of Fringe, discussion that we probably hadn’t been expecting, and we are so excited to bring this conversation to you! Listen as we nerd out over this stand-alone but very beautifully written episode. We share enthusiasm around the gross-out factor of the episode and how beautiful Walter’s growth is in this episode, and we also, as always, share your thoughts on the show, too! This week, we hear from Eric, Geoff (xforce11), Rory, Shaïna, Patty from Canadia, and ShelkyBean! There are still a few episodes of season 2 open for a co-host opportunity (including “What Lies Below,” “The Bishop Revival,” “Olivia. In the Lab.

“August” is undoubtedly a favorite amongst the Fringe fandom, and it’s no wonder why. It’s a beautiful episode with a powerful message about love and how it makes each of us important. It also offers up so many clues regarding Peter’s past while still, in traditional Fringe fashion, asking new questions. Join us as we reflect back on this episode, sharing our favorite moments and discussing why this has gone down as such a memorable episode. We also hear from several listeners such as Geoff (xforce11), ShelkyBean, Rory, Eric, and Patty from Canadia!

This episode is kind of a special one for us because of how much we love Cameron Monaghan’s work on Gotham, so we are so excited to share this discussion with you! Tune in as we share our favorite moments from this “myth-alone” episode and our memories of whether or not we picked up on the twist before it was revealed. We also share how, even though we really enjoy this episode, we wish that it had come back into play later in the series. You can also expect to hear some incredible feedback from listeners including Geoff (xforce11), ShelkyBean, Linda Is Lost, Eric, Ross, Mariam, and Patty from Canadia!

Fringe gives us yet another case of the week with no apparent ties to the overarching mythology, so how do we feel about this one? Listen as we share our thoughts on this Fringe episode which… isn’t quite as down to earth as what we had come to expect. We talk about our favorite moments from the episode such as Broyles’ wholesome interaction with the young child at the restaurant and our appreciation for the show diving deeper into Broyles’ backstory.

Although it sort of abandons the overarching mythology again and gives us what is more or less a standalone story, “Dream Logic” is still a strong episode of Fringe, giving us some great character moments and symbolism. We (Chris and Darrell) share our thoughts about this episode and what we first thought about it vs. what we think now. We share our favorite moments such as Olivia opening up to Peter about the death of Charlie, the episode’s many uses of colors such as red and green, and so much more! Be sure to stay tuned for the entire episode because we also share some great feedback from listeners including Eric, ShelkyBean, Pavla aka Polla, Geoff, and Patty from Canadia!

Momentum can be deferred, but it must always be paid back in full, and, after the last two episodes of the season, this episode certainly pays it back! We finally get one of the big season finale cliffhangers resolved - what Olivia and William Bell talked about in the Redverse - and also get a plethora of burning questions answered. It all comes to a head (see what we did there?) when our hero is broken and defeated and the bad guys have seemingly won. This is such a HUGE episode of the Fringe mythology, and we share both audio feedback and written feedback from several listeners who share their thoughts about it, including Rory, Geoff (xforce11), Francleigh, Patty from Canadia, Eric from Pennsylvania, ShelkyBean, and Erin!

It’s finally time to discuss the infamous Mole-Rat Man episode, the episode that initially went down as many fans’ least favorite episode. How does it hold up fourteen years later? Do we still not care a whole lot for this episode, or do we now look back at it more fondly? We speculate as to why this episode didn’t initially go over well and, of course, share listener feedback from Rory, Patty from Canadia and her daughter Emily, ShelkyBean, Erin, and Juan!

Unearthed from Fringe’s first season is this bonus episode which is, well, an episode. While it is a complete standalone story and really nothing all that special, it does give us a tiny bit of insight into some of the characters’ mindsets and their beliefs, and we both agree that the acting from guest star Alice Kremelberg is really great. We share what we think some of the episode’s most memorable moments are, and we also get feedback submissions from Geoff (xforce11), Michael, Rory, and Patty from Canadia!

There’s more than one of everything, and that include our hosts this week. We have not two hosts talking about the climactic first season finale but once again we have three! This time, Chris and Darrell are joined by a voice that listeners of the original run of The Fringe Podcast will definitely recognize - the one and only Clint! In Fringe’s first season finale, Olivia notices a connection between The Pattern incidents while Walter and Peter retrieve the only thing that can stop Jones from his ultimate plan.

Everything comes to a head when a final confrontation with Jones (in this timeline anyway) leads Olivia to finally coming face-to-face with William Bell. We discuss our favorite moments from this finale, things that we noticed for the first time on this rewatch, and so much more. We also get feedback submissions from Geoff (xforce11), Michael London of Fringe Connections, Rory, and Patty from Canadia! If you would like to be part of the feedback section in the future, be sure to hit us up via one of the contact methods listed below. We would also love to have you as a co-host for a season 2 episode like Clint was here. Sign up to be a co-host by visiting the community portal!

Chris and Darrell take the road not taken with guest Michael London (creator of Fringe Connections) as we discuss this phenomenal penultimate episode of Fringe’s first season! Olivia is once again confronted by her past as a Cortexiphan subject when she starts having strange visions of alternate versions of events and colleagues, and, much to our delight, we get to see Harris make a fiery exit! This is such a great penultimate episode because of all the setup for the finale with which we’re left, and feedback submissions from Linda, Geoff (xforce11), Rory, and Patty from Canadia all talk about how powerful this episode is.

We take a quick break from the Cortexiphan story to discuss a vampire… sort of. This vampire is engineered by science and must feed on spinal fluid rather than blood. (That’s Fringe for you!) Dive into our discussion of this myth-alone episode which features a standalone story with some loose threads to the overarching mythology. We discuss our memories of this episode and how, for some reason, we both had forgotten about its ties to ZFT. We also, as always, share feedback sent in by listeners including new feedbacker to this podcast (but not to the Golden Spiral Media community) Linda, Rory, Patty from Canadia, and Geoff (xforce11)!

Imagine having a nightmare in which you murder someone only to wake up and discover that it really happened… or did it? Dreams aren’t always literal, after all. Join us as we discuss one of the best episodes of Fringe’s first season, the second episode of the show that dives into Olivia’s past as a Cortexiphan subject. We discuss our thoughts about the connection that Olivia shares with Nick Lane as well as the connection that she shares with Peter of which Walter seems to be somewhat aware, how much of this episode we remembered since the last time that we watched it, the big reveal at the very end of the episode, and so much more! We also hear from our regular feedback contributors Geoff (xforce11) and Patty from Canadia, as well as first-time feedbacker Rory!

Get ready as we unleash our discussion of this episode of Fringe! We both agree that, despite its dubious science, this is a decent stand-alone episode, and we, as always, think back to our thoughts when we first saw it and whether or not we feel any differently now. We talk a lot about the character development and growth that we see from Walter and discuss whether his heroic act at the end is truly heroic or just another display of hubris. We also share our thoughts on the little bit of Polivia development that we get here, and we hear from our regular feedback contributors - Geoff (xforce11) and Patty from Canadia, both of whom share their thoughts and feelings about this episode.

Get in touch with your inner Observer child this week as we discuss this exciting episode of Fringe! We reflect back on our initial thoughts when we first watched this episode, including wondering whether or not the Child (also known at the time, by us at least, as CBK) was an Observer and what that implied if so, if Olivia disliked yellow M&Ms because they reminded her of Cotexiphan, what the deal is with Eliot Michaels, and so forth! While we surprisingly did not get any listener feedback this week, we would love for you to be a part of that in the future by hitting us up at one of the contact methods listed below!

We have eagerly been waiting to discuss "Ability" for months because it’s that good, undoubtedly one of the best episodes of Fringe’s first season if not the best. There is just so much to unpack here, and so much of the show’s overarching mythology is brought to light here in this episode, including the Cortexiphan trials, the existence of parallel universes, and the inevitable war between the Blueverse and the Redverse. We share our favorite scenes from this memorable episode and also respond to several of you who also share your thoughts, including Emily (the Soggy Nacho), Geoff (xforce11), and Patty from Canadia!

More ill-fated passengers on a plane? Yes, but this is not the pilot episode, although there are many parallels and callbacks to it, as well as some shoutouts to another J.J. Abrams staple, Alias. We are here to talk about all of that as well as our memories of this fantastic episode of Fringe which brings so much of the plot of the first season so far to a close. We, as always, talk about our favorite moments from this episode but also discuss why we see it as the turning point of the first season. Several of you also share your thoughts on this episode, including Geoff (xforce11); the Soggy (or Salty?) Nacho, Emily; and Patty from Canadia!

What’s that noise? It’s not the sound of a brain-melting computer virus but rather a discussion between us and guest co-host Geoff (xforce11) on this rather polarizing episode of Fringe! This episode takes a break from the mythology and gives us a stand-alone case of the week involving a man exacting revenge on those he holds responsible for ruining his life by liquifying the brains of their loved ones, and we discuss what parts of this episode resonate with us more than others do, our initial thoughts about Rachel’s motives vs. how we feel now, our continued feelings around Sanford Harris (here is a hint - we cannot stand him), how all three of us agree that the conflict between Olivia and Peter is the best part of this episode, and so much more! We, as always, also hear from Patty from Canadia, and if you would like to be a part of the listener feedback section and/or would like to be a co-host with us in the future like Geoff was in this episode, please contact us via one of the methods listed below!

You are bound to enjoy our discussion of this high-octane episode of Fringe! Although we both agree that the cliffhanger from the last episode is wrapped up a bit too early here and that the exposition is a bit too heavy-handed, this episode moves at anything but a sluggish pace and left us with plenty of new questions when it first aired thirteen years ago. What was ZFT trying to accomplish by killing immunologists with this super-sized slug (which apparently wasn’t actually a cold virus according to Walter’s lab notes)? Why did they abduct Olivia? What was the spinal tap for? We were definitely like a question machine! We discuss these plot points and also share several pieces of feedback from you, our listeners, including feedback from Funk, Geoff (xforce11), Patty from Canadia, and Emily (TheSoggyNacho)!

We hope that you stay safe listening to our discussion this week as we chat about the tenth episode of Fringe’s first season, effectively the mid-season finale given its big cliffhanger and the hiatus that followed. We, as always, talk about our favorite moments and pieces of dialogue from this episode, thoughts that we might have had when we initially watched it vs. what we think now that we have seen the entire series, and so much more! We also hear from our regular feedback contributors Geoff (xforce11) and Patty from Canadia as well as a couple of new folks who wrote in, including Mike and Ross!

We reflect on this memorable episode of Fringe and share our favorite moments from it, how we remembered certain scenes having happened in other episodes, and our frustrations around several conflicts introduced in this episode that were seemingly abandoned by the writers.

Mitchell Loeb is back and is up to no good again as he now orchestrates the abduction of a young boy to extract the solution of an equation from him. We, as always, reflect on this episode and what thoughts we remember having when we first saw it and what thoughts we have now, discuss whether or not there is a Stranger Things reference this time around, theorize about who or what we think the Walter doppelganger is at St. Claire’s, and so much more!

It’s time to finally meet David Robert Jones, the Big Bad of Fringe’s first season! This is a game-changing episode of the first season as we learn a little bit more about The Pattern and who is behind it and also hear Walter tell a captivating and enthralling story about fruit cocktail. We talk about our memories of having first seen this episode and our initial reactions to it vs. our reactions now (including how utterly disgusting that huge parasite is) and so much more.

Darrell had to step away and deal with something in the Redverse this week, so joining Chris this time around is Geoff, also known as xforce11! We are talking all things “The Cure” - the sixth episode of Fringe’s first season in which a drug company is turning people suffering from a rare and fatal disease into human weapons! We reflect on our favorite moments from this episode and connect some of the possible examples of foreshadowing in it (such as but not limited to the colors blue and red being mentioned more than once) to later revelations in the series. Patty from Canadia also shares her thoughts on this episode and whether or not the fringe science of this episode holds up.

We talk about Joseph Meegar and how sorry we feel for him as well as some interesting parallels between him and Olivia while also pointing to a couple of poignant lines of dialogue that foreshadow revelations that we get later in the series.

It has arrived, although we sure hope that a gigantic metal suppository is not the pinnacle of human achievement! That’s right! We are here to discuss “The Arrival” - the game-changing fourth episode of the first season of Fringe! We take you back to the very first official introduction to September which starts with this episode’s memorable opening scene while, at the same time, looking ahead to future episodes of the series that ended up being connected to this one. Fringe never does end up answering all of the questions that this episode asks such as who Mosley was and what his objective was, but we consult Fringe Connections and September’s Notebook for some possible answers and also offer some theories!

We considered using the ghost network to talk about this episode of Fringe but ultimately decided against it, so we are instead coming to you as usual via your favorite podcast app! “The Ghost Network” seemingly introduces us to amber which plays a much larger role later in the series, and it also presents us with another example of someone who was victimized by Walter’s past transgressions as he conducted morally questionable experiments for the military. We also see a shimmer of Olivia’s enhanced Cortexiphan abilities, and we talk about that enigmatic scene between Broyles and Nina near the end.

We’re back to talk about the punnily titled “The Same Old Story” - the second episode of Fringe! This episode introduces us to supersoldiers and clones, both of which will come back into play later in the series, and it also drops another huge hint about Peter’s mysterious history. Olivia is totally beating herself up due to John Scott’s betrayal, but should she be? Meanwhile, a serial killer is on the loose, but why does this particular serial killer capture the attention of our Fringe team? Well, because he is stealing pituitary glands from his victims! Why? Because Fringe science. (Don’t we just say the sweetest things?) We discuss all of the foreshadowings dropped in this episode, most of which we didn’t catch our first time seeing the episode, and we also share the feedback that you - the Bunsen Burners - submitted to us!

So much, so much happened here, and so much is about to! Welcome to The Fringe Podcast Rewatch! Hosted by Darrell and Chris, the podcast is a revival of sorts of the award-winning The Fringe Podcast, only this time, we're reflecting back on the series as a whole nearly a decade after its epic conclusion in January of 2013, bringing you bi-weekly discussions of each and every episode of Fringe's run of 100 episodes! Beginning, of course, with the show's pilot episode which aired on September 9, 2008, we share our favorite moments from the episode and reflect on our reactions and theories when we first saw it, agreeing that the Fringe pilot is one of the best pilot episodes of any show ever. We touch upon September’s very first appearance on the series and also discuss some of the connections that the pilot has to later episodes of the series. A few members of the Fringe fandom even offer their own insight, and if you would like to be a part of the listener feedback section in the future and/or sign up to be a co-host, hit us up via one of the methods of contact below!

In the years since Fringe wrapped, Fringe fans have asked us many times to create a rewatch podcast. That time has finally arrived.  We are committing to a muti-year project where we will rewatch the show, break down the episodes, and invite Fringe fans to participate along with us.  It’s called: The Fringe Podcast Rewatch.  The Fringe Podcast Rewatch is a podcast for Fringe fans who have already watched the series at least once.  Starting Wednesday, May 18 we’ll rewatch one episode of Fringe, then the following Wednesday, we’ll record a podcast episode covering that Fringe episode.  We’ll repeat this pattern each Wednesday until we’ve rewatched all 100 episodes of the show.
