Fringe Review, Season 4, Episode 13: “A Better Human Being”
Written by Alison Schapker and Monica Owusu-Breen (teleplay), Glen Whitman and Robert Chiappetta (story)
Directed by Joe Chappelle
Airs Fridays at 9pm (Et) on Fox
This week, on Fringe: Sean hears voices, Nina plays innocent, and Olivia remembers
Genre fiction is full of cautionary tales depicting man’s destruction at his own hand, due to pride, a quest for power, or, in this case, abandonment of ethics. While this may not be the most memorable episode of Fringe, it’s a well-executed take on the Frankenstein tale that, as the story is so familiar, wisely focuses on the monster, or in this case, one aspect of it, rather than Frankenstein himself. Blending this classic genre convention with a typically Fringe spin on schizophrenia is a good move, allowing Olivia to travel back in her new memories to the series’ pilot...

Fringe Review, Season 4, Episode 6: “And Those We Left Behind”
Written by Robert Chiappetta & Glen Whitman
Directed by Brad Anderson
Airs Fridays at 9pm (Et) on Fox
This week, on Fringe: Walter gains respect for Peter, Olivia is perceptive, and Peter Groundhogs Days it up.
After last week’s less than winning investigation of the new shapeshifters, this week Fringe is back on form with an episode that demonstrates just how great the series can be. Other than the continued underuse of Jasika Nicole as Astrid, “And Those…” fires on all cylinders, providing an intellectually, emotionally, and cinematically satisfying episode that ranks among the series’ best.
The episode opens with a sweet scene, a dream of Peter’s, reminding the audience of just how much he has lost. It’s simply played and brightly lit, contrasting starkly with the dark cell he awakens to. The cinematography here is beautiful,...

Fringe Episode 3.14 "6B" Written By: Robert Chiappetta & Glen Whitman Directed By: Tom Yatsko Original Airdate: 18 February 2011 In This Episode... The Fringe team investigates what appears to be a mass suicide: half a dozen partygoers leap to their death from the balcony of a beautiful old building in Brooklyn. But if they had jumped, or even fallen, the bodies would have landed much farther away. Instead, they are directly below the balcony, as if they had just slipped through. On a hunch, Walter starts flipping a coin. All ten times, it came up heads. The laws of physics are disrupted here. Like the red universe, this world is starting to come apart at the...

Fringe Episode 3.6 "6955 kHz" Written By: Robert Chiappetta and Glen Whitman Directed By: Joe Chappelle Original Airdate: 11 November 2010 In This Episode... Up and down the eastern seaboard, 15 people suffered a blackout followed by complete amnesia after listening to a number station over Ham radio. No one quite knows the origins of number stations - radio transmissions that are just a string of numbers in a variety of languages. Massive Dynamic investigated these stations, and other than figuring they were at least 70 years old, they got nothing. Walter isolated the tracks that one of the people, Becky, recorded, so that he wouldn't suffer any...

Episode Title: "Of Human Action"
Written By: Glen Whitman & Robert Chiappetta
Synopsis: The Fringe team is called in when two suspicious men seemingly kidnap an innocent child by way of mental persuasion — which, as it turns out, is only partially true. Once Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson) is abducted by the real culprit, his father Walter (John Noble) and Agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) frantically try to find a way to resolve the situation, which may or may not have something to do with Nina Sharp (Blair Brown) and Massive Dynamic. Okay, it obviously has something to do with Massive Dynamic.
Fear of the Mind: The opening sequence and the subsequent convenience store hold-up were two of the scariest scenes I've seen on "Fringe," not due to any special effects, but the absolute dread you feel in knowing what's about to happen to these bystanders. At first, I thought it was...
