We've not remarked much upon the latest episodes of Fringe.
Although we've kept watching and enjoying, there wasn't really much to
report in the last few weeks, other than the producers seem intent on
hiring everyone who has ever worked with David Simon. We weren't
learning anything new about Massive Dynamic or The Pattern, there's
been no smoochie-boochie between Olivia and Peter, no substantive
revelations about Dr. Bishop... frankly, we were kind of starting to
wonder if anything really mattered on this show.
Sure, it's been compelling, creepy stuff at times, but correct us if
we're wrong, but when nearly every episode supposedly deals with the
overarching conspiracy, you'd really expect a show to start actually,
you know, revealing something now and then. Right? Heck, if every
episode of The X-Files or Lost had been about Mulder's
sister or the Dharma Initiative, they'd have found Samantha by the end
of the first season and Jack Shephard would have been home to see the
Red Sox win the World Series. But Fringe? No. All that running in place -- however thrilling and littered with trips to the tank -- was starting to bug us.
And then, blammo -- last night we got a couple of really juicy reveals... just in time for Fringe to go away until April?
Spoilers ahead...
