Hercules Has Seen Tonight’s First FRINGE Since Oct. 15, And Harbors Suspicion It May Have Broken A Big Series Rule!!

I am – Hercules!!

FRINGE 2.6 FAQ

What’s it called?
“Earthling.”

Who’s Responsible?
Teleplay is credited to J.H. Wyman ("Keen Eddie") & Jeff Vlaming ("Battlestar Galactica").

What says Fox?
“Directed by Emmy Award winner Jon Cassar (24), this episode follows the Fringe Division as they take on a puzzling investigation where victims are inexplicably disintegrating into ash. The shadowy case casts light on Special Agent Phillip Broyles' past and leads the team to the possibility of foreign Fringe Science. Emotions run high as the alarming events stack up and revealing personal details emerge about the leader of the Fringe Division. Guest Cast: Ravil Isyanov as Tomas; JR Bourne as Mystery Man; Gerard Plunkett as Senator Van Horn; Yaroslav Poverlo as Tomas' Brother; Joe Towne as Randy Dancik; Michelle Harrison as Natalie.”

Broyles’ past? Do we learn that he and the cyborg Nina Sharp boned and/or are boning?
No.

Do we get to see Nina naked?
Tonight’s episode is wholly Nina-free.

Is Leonard Nimoy back as the sinister William Bell?
Not this week.

Is this the one with the flock of bald, mind-reading Observers?
No.

What’s the bowling guy, Sam Weiss, up to this week?
Sam is not lurking about this week. (I think for the first time since 2.1.)

What else is Fox not telling us?
Tomas’ brother has a profession that does not technically exist in the United States. And we learn there’s more than a little Jack Bauer in the boss of Fringe Division.

The big news?
I’m pretty sure the “Fringe” creators and showrunner told me at Comic Con last July that we wouldn’t be seeing extraterrestrials on "Fringe." I'll leave it to the post-show talkback to decide if they've stuck to that rule.

What lies beyond tonight's installment?
2.7 "Of Human Action" (Nov. 12) The Fringe Division investigates an unusual kidnapping with connections to Massive Dynamic.

2.8 "August" (Nov. 19) The Fringe team closes in on the mysterious Observer after they investigate a bizarre abduction case in Boston.

How does it end, spoiler-boy?
A CIA agent glances heavenward.

9 p.m. Thursday. Fox.
