“For all intents and purposes, that was the day we died.” We pick right up where we left off at the end of 3.21 for the season 3 finale of Fringe and are joined by the great David Wu (who also has a Fringetastic surprise to share!) to discuss this emotionally devastating episode with a cliffhanger that will fundamentally change Fringe as we know it for the remainder of its run! We also share some great feedback (as always) from listeners like Geoff (xforce11), Drew, Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), Anna (not Torv), and Patty from Canadia! With the third season now having come to a close, we will be taking a brief break but will be back for season 4 when we watch “Neither Here nor There” together on March 19th and then record our discussion on it on March 26th, so see you in season 4, cortexifans, and, if you’re interested, you can now sign up to co-host a season 4 episode with us!

We are joined by special guest Marianne this week as we discuss “The Last Sam Weiss,” the penultimate episode of both this three-episode arc and of the third season. We share what we love about this episode (especially the acting from various cast members as well as the great character development that we get with Walter) but also discuss our disappointment around the enigma that is the titular Sam Weiss not being fully explained, seeming to be a thread that was ultimately dismissed. We also hear some phenomenal feedback from listeners such as Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), Anna (not Torv), Erin, and ShelkyBean! Next up is “The Day We Died,” the season 3 finale, when we will be joined by a very special guest! Speaking of being joined by people, you can now sign up to co-host a season 4 episode with us!

Happy 2025, cortexifans! Join us this week as we discuss the first third of what is essentially a three-part finale!

We also share some wonderful feedback from listeners like Geoff (xforce11), ShelkyBean, and Patty from Canadia! Next up is the penultimate episode of both this arc and this whole season, “The Last Sam Weiss,” when we will be joined by Marianne!

Let’s make some LSD! Join us this week as guest Damon is with us to discuss this special season 3 episode of Fringe! We nerd out over the animated portions of the episode, all of the Easter eggs, the complexity of the episode’s plot and premise, how a certain Broyles scene now hits us differently, and SO much more! We also, of course, hear from some of our wonderful listeners like Geoff (xforce11), Anna (not Torv), ShelkyBean, Michael, and Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer). By the way, speaking of Eric, join us next time when we cover what is essentially the first part of a three-part finale and will be joined by Eric!

We are discussing all things bloodlines (or at least baby blood samples) this week on the podcast as we finally return to the Redverse and see the birth of Henry. We are once again joined by the great Michael London of Fringe Connections to take on this episode, and we share our somewhat differing opinions regarding how this episode holds up after the timeline ends up being overwritten. We also get some wonderful feedback from Tony from New Zealand, Dan, Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), ShelkyBean, and Patty from Canadia. Join us next time when we return back to the Blueverse for “Lysergic Acid Diethylamide,” the second… well… fringe episode of Fringe! (We will be joined again by Damon and will be live recording an hour later than our normal time.)

We hope that you will stowaway with us on the Fringe train as we discuss this unique episode of Fringe - unique in that Anna Torv is not playing Olivia Dunham or an Olivia Dunham alternate but rather the man behind the curtain himself - William Bell (or Bellivia or Spolive as you prefer). We also finally get to meet the Blueverse version of Lincoln Lee (or Special Agent Hottie as you prefer), and we discuss what we like and maybe don’t like as much on rewatch. You’ll also hear some great feedback as always from feedbackers like Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), Anna (not Torv), Erin, and Patty from Canadia! Join us next time when we return to the Redverse and catch up with Foelivia’s pregnancy in “Bloodline”!

Come float with us (we all float down here!) this episode as we discuss “Os” (Fringe episode 3.16), a (mostly) stand-alone episode in which a scientist tries to cure his son’s physical disability using a combination of two rare, dense metals that, when administered together into the blood, makes people float. We discuss how happy we are to see Olivia so happy, the heartbreaking parallels between Walter and Dr. Krick (as well as Peter and Michael), the episode’s shocking final scene, and, of course share some amazing listener feedback from feedbackers like Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), Anna (not Torv), Patty from Canadia, and ShelkyBean! Join us next time when we get even more amazing Bellivia content from Anna (is Torv) and meet Blueverse Lincoln Lee!

Also, we got to meet up in person recently, so tune in at the end for some bonus content if you care to hear us nerd out over our recent trip to Disneyland!

Joined by our loyal listener Missnet, we are once again rewinding back to 1985 for this episode as we discuss “Subject 13,” a flashback episode of Fringe that shows us some of the immediate aftermath of the events that we saw unfold in “Peter” last season. We praise Orla Brady’s performance and discuss the various threads of the show’s mythology that are explored in this episode. We also touch upon some of the inconsistencies that this episode presents but all agree that it’s a phenomenal episode nonetheless. We also, of course, hear from wonderful feedbackers such as Anna (not Torv), Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), ShelkyBean, and Patty from Canadia! We are discussing “Os” next and can’t wait to hear your thoughts on that episode, so feel free to reach out to us via one of the contact methods listed below!

We are joined by Anna (not Torv) for this episode as we discuss Fringe’s Valentine’s Day episode, “6B”! This is such a great episode that Chris and Darrell feel is even better than we remember it being! Join us and Anna as we discuss some of the interesting parallels between each season’s 14th episode so far as well as some of the parallels between Olivia/Peter and Alice/Derek. We touch upon some of the various aspects of this episode that at least one of us had forgotten about - such as how the episode ties directly into “The Ghost Network” from early season 1 and also briefly shifts to the Redverse at the very end. Be sure to stay tuned for some wonderful listener feedback from Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), ShelkyBean, Matt, and Patty from Canadia! Join us next time when we, joined by regular listener Missnet, go back to the ‘80s for “Subject 13”!

We finally return to the Redverse for this episode and are joined once again by Mark (who previously joined us for our “Grey Matters” discussion)! In this (mostly) standalone episode of Fringe, the Fringe Division of Over There faces off against a mad scientist who is killing people with beetles, and this is, of course, also the legendary episode when Darrell lost the Banana Bet over the other Olivia’s pregnancy! Listen in to hear our thoughts on this episode, including but not limited to our thoughts on Walternate being made a bit more complex. We also get some great feedback from listeners like Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), Erin, ShelkyBean, and Patty from Canadia! For the next episode, in which we will be covering the episode “6B,” we will be joined by frequent feedbacker Anna (not Torv), so please feel free to reach out to us with your thoughts about that episode via one of the contact methods listed below!
