‘It Wasn’t A Car Crash!!’ Learn What’s Ahead On FRINGE!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Another very strong episode last week with “White Tulip.” Producers were smart to put somebody as good as Peter Weller to work as the time man.
Fox says of tonight’s episode, titled “The Man From The Other Side”:
When two teenagers on a date turn up "dead" at an abandoned warehouse with the three puncture wounds to the soft palate -- a trademark of the shape-shifters -- the Fringe team investigates the evidence as well as the motives of mastermind Newton. Upon discovering a shape-shifting embryo, Walter returns to the lab to conduct further analysis, and Olivia and Peter head to Massive Dynamic for answers. Meanwhile, Peter reveals a family secret to Olivia as Walter struggles to recall what Newton knows about "building a door." Guest Cast: Sebastian Roch as Thomas Jerome Newton; Ryan McDonald as Brandon; Peter Bryant as Ben McCalister; James Pizzinato as Dave; Katie Findlay as Jill; Shawn MacDonald as Daniel Verona; James Tsai as David Wu.
Next week brings “Brown Betty,” which appears to be the musical episode:
While Walter deals with some very upsetting news, he tells Olivia's niece, Ella (guest star Lily Pilblad), a fairy tale that includes musical performances by Olivia and Agent Broyles. Guest Cast: Ari Graynor as Rachel Dunham; Michael Cerveris as September; Lily Pilblad as Ella; Ryan McDonald as Brandon.
Newton returns again in the May 6 episode, titled “Northwest Passage”:
Peter teams up with a local law enforcement official, Sheriff Mathis (guest star Martha Plimpton), on a serial murder investigation with ties to Newton (guest star Sebastian Roch). Meanwhile, Walter copes with the possibility of being sent back to St. Claire's, and someone from the "other side" pays a visit. Guest Cast: Sebastian Roch as Thomas Jerome Newton; Martha Plimpton as Sheriff Tracy Mathis; Christine Chatelain as Krista; Patrick Gilmore as Deputy Ferguson; Juan Riedinger as Craig; Paul Herbert as Tom; Marie West as Heather.
The May 13 and May 20 episodes comprise a two-parter titled “Over There.”
Fox has already renewed the show for a third season.
9 p.m. Thursday. Fox.

It's getting quite good and I thought "White Tulip" was quite good and had a well-done, powerful ending. Looking forward to tonight.

Next Week Will Be A Silly Waste of An Episode. Can Not Wait.
by crow3711
But my guess is it will be hilariously entertaining. I can't wait to see Fringe the musical, even if I assume that means there will zero mythology or actual storytelling that drives the narrative. Just gonna be really weird, crazy, trippy, hilarious sci-fi musical.
-
The White Tulip really gut punched me there at the end. Amazing ending. I was thoroughly impressed with the whole episode.
-
May stand as a textbook example for all similar shows--those with over-arching "mythologies" coupled with stand alone episodes--of how to combine the two so they both serve to drive the ultimate story forward.X-Files, while brilliant in spots, often lost its way so often woith its mythology that only the stand alones were coherent. But it seems Fringe has learned the lessons from that and explained just enough so we can understand and want to move forward with a clear idea of, but not total knowledge of wherre we may be going, while even using its stand alones as separate set pieces, but relevant to the whole. With "Peter" and "White Tulip", the show has gone from pretty good to brilliant, IMHO. And John Noble is a huge part of that and better be nominated for an emmy for this season.
-
Don't discount plot advancement and character development just because it's a 'Musical' episode. Look at what Buffy did. A fun, slightly goofy, episode that COMPLETELY used the songs to propel both the plot and over all season arc forward.
-
Just sayin'
-
Hoping that maybe MacLachlan would be in there, and it somehow slipped past everyone's radar.
-
Time to call my pot supplier.
-
It's so worth it. http://tinyurl.com/2bn5w7gWowza!
-
because Season 2 took WAY too long to find its feet. I know a lot of viewers who gave up on it.
-
He blows everyone else on TV away.

Stan Rogers on the soundtrack for Northwest Passage please.
by johnny smith
Two great tastes that taste great together.
-
This will only end in fire and death.
-
dancing and singing. I just can't imagine that man doing either. After playing Matthew Abbadon on Lost and now this somewhat uptight FBI director it will be hilarious to see him in another light.
-
Now THAT would be entertaining. I know Hugh Laurie is musically gifted, but watching everyone else give it a shot should be pure entertainment. Maybe Dr. Lisa Cuddy will strip again. Has the ass of a 19 year old hispanic girl.
-
House, Fringe, Bones, Simpsons and Family Guy will all be musical episodes that week. The Family Guy episode is called "Brian and Stewie" and takes place in a safe the entire episode. It's also the 150th episode of obscure asides and sight ga... I mean Family Guy.(I kid.. I love the show).
-
Was a musician before he got into acting. Should be fun. And if you wanna see some other notable characters of his, check out Oz and The Wire.
-
mark my words...

How long will it last.....

The Haters All Died When The Last Two Episodes Were Brilliant
by crow3711
Talk about having to eat your words. Two of the best hours of tv this year, in a row.
-
....unless it has some form of crucial plot point in there.
Never thought I'd say it but I'm enjoying it more than Lost this Season -
Please tell me that you've also seen Lance Reddick's portrayal of Lt. Daniels on The Wire. If you haven't... get on it man!
-
The guys who cut these trailers are always so fucking clueless.
-
Must confess it was mainly because I was a Pacey Witter fan of old that I tuned in. Glad I did. Also nice to see Martha Plimpton back on me tellybox.
-
Just kidding, I have also loved the show since day one. The creators take sci-fi seriously, but not too seriously and mix in realistic human depth. Perfect package (the wierd monster in the sewers episode from season 2 notwithstanding).
-
...but not quite.
-
Close. If it only had a countdown clock every week...
"White Tulip" was one of the best hours on TV in years. It may be Fringe's "Clyde Bruckman's Last Repose." The bar's set pretty damn high now. I hope they keep it up next year. -
just watched it yesterday. Him opening the White Tulip at the end hit me as much as Picard playing the flute on Inner Light. Just very subtle, yet poignant. Moments like that do more to develop character and motives than a whole page of hackneyed dialog.
-
thats a joke right?
-
..we can assume Belly will be kicking the bucket soon.. or the "alterniverse" will cease to exist and drag him down with it. Sad. Wish Nimoy would get some growth hormone treatments or something and stay with us a few more years. I was far more excited to see him in Fringe than the new Trek. And yes, White Tulip was some of the best TV of all time. Weller was incredible. And everyone is right about Noble. He deserves(d) an Emmy. Especially for White Tulip. His scenes with Weller were phenomenal.

That sounds like confirmation that Walternate is behind the Patt
by br1947
why else would the shifter say "I'm sorry" to Walter? He thought he was his leader, Walternate, whom he failed.
-
Best show on tv.
-
Walternate is the transfer from the other universe at the end? The Secretary? If Walter went as far as he did to get Peter, what would Walternate do to get him back? And who will Peter side with? God I feel like an advertisement, but that's what I was thinking at the end.
-
The songs in the Simpsons are always gold. Monorail!
-
exactly!!! Was Walternate locked up for 17 years too? So what has the pissed off mad scientist been up to?
-
has to belong to Agent Francis. I know it won't, but i want him back...
Also, where did the Hispanic agent from the first episodes of this season go? -
are driving 40 year old cars and listening to thirty year old music.
-
just those two
-
Yeah. I watched the beginning waiting for "...30 years ago" to appear on the screen somewhere. You realize they only used Rush to get some sort of Cancon tax credit, eh? hehe. :)
Absolutely loving this show and Noble at the end when Peter essentially tells him to "f*ck off" well. Painful. So painful.
Well done, Fringe! -

So, Walternate started an entire war over Peter's abduction
by zillabeast
At least, thats the way it seems to be shaping up to me. Another brilliant week!
-
...and they bring someone over from the other side and make a point to hide his identity but in one scene pan and almost show his face but then cut to a different scene with Walter, it probably means that the man who came over is Walternate. Not 100% certain, but it seems likely.
If it was Lost, that would be what they'd expect you to think, but it definitely wouldn't be.
If it was FlashForward they would show you some distinguishing characteristic like a ring Walter wears or the back of his hair and assume you'd recognize him if you've been paying attention.
If it was V they'd just show you that it's Walternate - musical stab - and that would be the final scene of the episode. -
after "Olivia discovers Peter's not from here and Walter asks her not to tell him" and then "Olivia's gonna tell Peter and decided not to" and then "Walter decides to tell Peter and decided not to" I was worried that they were going to try to milk this all season long. Instead, suddenly Peter figures it out on his own as part of the plot, not just exposition or a revelation during a conversation.
And ironically Walter was going to tell him, just didn't have the time.
Very good, very good, like some of those chicken breading fried onion rings I haven't had in quite some time.
The Xena opera "Bitter Suite" helped them get past some impossible to navigate plot developments and a rift between the main characters that would have been very difficult to resolve logically but worked perfectly by approaching them emotionally.
If Walter wants to tell Olivia's niece a story about how Peter went missing and they had to try to find him, it could be a space keeper or it could advance the story. but I'm sure it's going to be amazingly entertaining. -
drama schools. The old school Kirk Douglas/Harrison Ford days are well and truely over. I could see most of the T.V actors capable of doing a song and dance, at least in a forced "i had to do it as exercises when i was in drama school" way.
The Buffy ep was ok, certainly not broadway , but it was a somewhat original concept for a show at the time so you had to give it a bit of credit dispite the weak piss poor singing and dancing.
But fuck FOX for forcing this shit on all its shows just for the sake of it. And fuck Glee. The all singing all dancing crap that it is.
Whats it about anyway?
Greese was all about riding (sex that is)
The sound of music was about freedom of sprit (and had Nazi baddies)
Whats the point of Glee
Ill tell you: Soulless cash-in on reality talent shows and pushing record sales, featuring fucking guest stars plugging there music, all dressed up like a drama with youth issues but really its an hour long advertisment for record companys. bullshit
-
projected, probably mostly wholesome fantasy of what some 44 year old writer thinks teenagers are like. But still, great episode.. again!
-
Now there's something tasty in THIS universe you must have at least once.
-
that makes it sound like the trojan war.
-
Rush is still excellent pothead music. Fact.
-
...maybe they should have been listening to The Mars Volta.
-
..."Hey, this Glee thing is working for ABC. Everybody do a musical episode! (SSssssNORRRRT! Ah, fuck yeah!)" Betcha there was no more thought put into it than that.
-
The Observer was standing in line at the bank when Thomas Newton walks up to the teller.

Fringe is the best shit on TV right now. Hope it keeps going with the same quality.
-
They will at some point have music queue up and it seem like a terrorist is about to start singing, then Jack pistol whips him and starts screaming in his face.
-
Upon further thought I think that Tom Sawyer and the Dodge Challenger may be a clue that the "Fringe Universe" is not our universe.
-
I saw Fringe TB and knew you were gonna bless us with The Torv Rack.
And there it was.
You sir, continue to be a great man. Is there a charity you'd like me to donate? Let me get my chequebook
As an aside, I agree with everything above, Fringe has been very strong this season. My wife loves it now as much as me, which, considering she hates sci fi, is an accomplishment in itself. Fringe is not afraid of giving you the sci fi straight up (something Lost didn't want to embrace for a bit) and demands its audience to just roll with it. Great show

I think Peter's abduction is only part of it. There is something on Earth-1 that they need on Earth-2. Remember, before the hiatus, there was a reference to something killing all the plant life and vegetation in Earth-2? They called it The Blight. So something bad is happening on that side and maybe this side has the solution? Or maybe they're trying to move everything from that side to replace our side?
-
You know I also forgot to account for William Bell being over there. Not sure if he is working with or against Walternate. Maybe he is to blame for what's happening over there?
-

Also, wouldnt shock me if Walternate killed Walter's wife
by zillabeast
How juicy would that be?
-
When robocop is running to his wifes car theres a man in classic observer attire on the left with his back to the camera, he's also very bald, and very pale.
-
I was half expecting Peter to wake up in the Alternate universe, but this was cool also.
-
10 p.m. eastern; 9 p.m. central.
Thank you! -
is sexy as hell. Where can I see more of her?
-
Check out NICK AND NORA'S INFINITE PLAYLIST where she plays Kat Dennings drunken friend. She's also in WHIP IT where she plays a roller derby girl called Eva Destruction but
she only has a few scenes. -
Two words: Gary Numan.
-
I think it was pretty clear from the hand...
fantastic ep btw, this show has hit its stride just like we knew it would. -
Dear Fringe;
Seriously? You're going to tempt the shitfates by doing a MUSICAL EPISODE? After the poetic and emotional slam dunk that was "White Tulip"? The gimmicky 80's episode was passable, but you'd better have some kind of ace up your sleeve in order to pull this one off.
Love and kisses,
Dick -
Im guessing is Walternate
-
Will probably be real good, its a look inside Walters head lol..
-
I mean, I almost never quit a show. The last one I watched alot and felt forced to quit was Heroes, like so many, so there is that. But V is just such a bad fucking show. It's incredibly how bad they managed to make one of the coolest concepts on tv. These V fans know Justified is on at the same time, and is about 100 times better than any given minute of V? I mean, honestly, I still haven't quit FlashForward, and it isn't anywhere near as bad as V is. The acting, the dialogue, character arcs, character motivation, EVERYTHING in that show is a fucking mess. FlashForward has the same problems, no doubt...but at least its fun to watch how silly that show is. And its actually gotten a lot better in the last few weeks. But these people advocating for V...give up. It's going to get rightfully canceled. its a bunch of empty pretty faces with absolutely nothing to say. It baffles me how they managed to water-down such an a stellar concept.
-
Intense pacing. I don't see how they can keep that up for long, reminds me of Heroes season 1.
-
I hope Walternate has turned into one evil, angry motherfucker after having his kid stolen. Noble playing a version of Walter who not only has all his faculties intact but is seriously fucking pissed off would be awesome. It would put Peter in an interesting position too. He's pissed at Walter for stealing him and lying to him but his real father, Walternate, has turned into an evil son of a bitch.
-
I've been watching 24, which just got kind of interesting in its final episodes. the plot has turned toward Russian government stuff, and they mentioned that "President Markov" was still president. If memory serves,I believe John Noble played him back in 24's horrible season 6. Now, if they have to somehow bring Markov back in the last few episodes of 24...
-
You do know that Glee is already on Fox (not ABC).....which makes it a little more clear why they may be doing a silly musical episode.
-
Absolutely hitting it's stride. And in true Fringe / Fox fashion, they're going to take a big steaming liquid shit all over it next week by queering the whole thing up with a stand alone period piece musical episode. Brilli-fucking-ant.
No wonder this show can't break out as the next great thing like it deserves with these kind of fucking decisions.
