Who’s responsible?
“Sarah Connor Chronicles” vets Ashley Edward Miller & Zack Stentz, who also scripted Marvel’s now-shooting big-screen “Thor.”
What says Fox?
“A Manhattan office building is rattled to its core, leaving only one survivor, and the Fringe Team examines his otherworldly origins. Once Walter surmises that what shook the building was something he discovered many years ago, the team races to Jacksonville to help Olivia reconnect with her past in order to avert what they fear will happen next. Guest Cast: Jim True-Frost as Ted Pratchett; Ryan McDonald as Brandon; Sarah Edmondson as Pauline Hess.”
What says Walter Bishop in the above promo?
“We’re standing in two buildings, one of which comes from the alternate universe.”
Does True-Frost share any scenes with Lance Reddick?
He does, but this “Wire” reunion is short-lived.
“Otherworldly origins”? As in Mars? Is that why the True-Frost character in the promo has all those arms?
“Otherworldly” as in Earth 2.
Isn’t Jacksonville where Walter Bishop and William Bell conducted their experiments on Olivia Dunham a quarter century ago?
It is.
What else is Fox not telling us?
Massive Dynamic long ago bought the from the U.S. government the site of the Jacksonville Family Day Care Center.
No William Bell in this winter finale?
We don’t see Nimoy’s face, but Bell is name-checked repeatedly. And there’s some videotape from 26 years ago.
The big news?
Walter returns to experimenting on Olivia. There are electrodes and a IV drip. We learn some surprising things. Olivia learns some surprising things.
Any other talking points?
“5-20-10,” observes Walter as he works an ancient combination lock. “I can’t remember the significance.” The second-season finale of “Fringe” arrives May 20, 2010. After tonight, the next new episode of “Fringe” is scheduled for April Fool’s Day.
How does it end, spoiler-boy?
With Walter’s pleas!
