Fringe: Grey Matters


That was certainly a much better episode than last week, which is a good thing considering it was the "fall finale" episode.  While I didn't find the episode as satisfying as I had hoped it would be it did leave me with enough momentum to push through till March or whenever they decide to air Fringe again*.

I loved Broyles and Olivia verbalizing the "answers lead to more questions" phenomenon that is previlent in so many shows I love watching.  Olivia even asked aloud what they learned from Walters abduction as if to give viewers disgruntled with the lack of progress this season since she came back from bizarro NY a voice.

On the "I may be a psychic" front, I did call the GPS chip as an integral part of this episode!  On the "maybe I am not a psychic" front I did not think it would be such a dead end so quickly.  Last weeks poor episode was made that much worse by the GPS tracker being such a non-issue this week.

Didn't they introduce a new FBI agent at the beginning of this season? Didn't her and Peter have a bit of a possible love connection brewing?  Where's Olivia's sister and niece?

I did think the cutting out Walter's brain and placing it in order people's heads to make them crazy storyline was actually interesting.  William Bell is quite the character, he's a grandfather figure to Olivia, a big brother to Walter, and his own evil twin.

Speaking of heads, I believe that the cryo-headed bad guy genuinely meant it when he apologized to Meredeth's father about leaving the back of his head off his brain (I can't be the only person out there watching Grey's Anatomy and Fringe).

*Correction: In the previous post I made a few references to Fringe returning in March.  In the blogs first user submitted correction Blue Sunflower commented that Fringe will return in January for 4 weeks before taking off again until April Fools Day (let's hope it's not a joke).  Thanks Blue... your my boy (figuratively speaking)!

While I'm back in this post, I forgot to mention "the Blight" that is affecting the other side of the door.  If it's as bad as it seems, this gives our ambiguous bad guys motivation to take over our world.
