Since the final season couldn't offer us a nineteenth episode due to being a 13-episode order, we get our whacky, out-of-the-box episode in the form of episode 9. After dropping acid that is the titular Black Blotter, Walter goes on a trippy journey into his past and revisits some old demons, including one in the form of his former lab assistant Carla Warren who expired in a fire (see what we did there?). Missnet joins us to discuss this fun and whacky (although also surprisingly rather dark) episode of Fringe in which Michael is finally found and taken in by the Fringe team. We also share some phenomenal feedback from listeners like Rory, Geoff (xforce11), Anna (not Torv), and ShelkyBean! Next up is "Anomaly XB-6783746" when we will be joined by Adam! Until then, we only have four episodes left, so if you would like to submit feedback, be sure to reach out via one of the contact methods listed below!

Join us in welcoming Isla to the show for the first time covering this incredibly emotional gutpunch of an episode of Fringe! The three of us agree that while the episode has its weak spots, there are two scenes in particular that are very memorable, one of which being the beautiful tearjerker of a final scene. We also share some amazing listener feedback from Geoff (xforce11), ShelkyBean, Pavla, Anna (not Torv), Erin, and Peter Defender! Next up is this season's whacky episode "Black Blotter" when we will be joined by Missnett! Be sure to reach out with your thoughts for the feedback section!

We are joined by Cory for this episode as we unpack yet another phenomenal, game-changing episode of Fringe! We talk about how much we love how emotionally poignant this aftermath of an episode is and how it is a great character study not only of the classic Fringe theme of what lengths someone will go to for love but also how people can experience the same tragedy but then react and grieve differently. We also share some truly excellent feedback from cortexifans like Anna (not Torv - who will be our guest host next episode), Geoff (xforce11), Ynza, Rory, ShelkyBean, Erin, and Isla! Join us next time when Walter goes through the looking glass and we discover what he finds there, and, in the meantime, reach out to us with your thoughts via one of the contact methods below!

We also share some amazing listener feedback from Anna (not Torv), Rory, Ynza, and ShelkyBean.

Join us this week as we, along with special guest Danielle (DillyDilly), discuss "In Absentia" - an episode that shows us somewhat of a dark turn for Etta as she captures and tortures a Loyalist. We see Olivia's empathy and compassion shine through brighter than ever, and this is also the episode that kickstarts this season's treasure (scavenger?) hunt. In addition to our thoughts, we hear from some wonderful Fringey feedbackers (hey, alliteration!) such as Isla, Charlie (not Francis) from Virginia, Roberta, Erin, Isla, Anna (not Torv), Pavla, Geoff (xorce11), ShelkyBean, and Ynza! Next up, we will be covering "The Recordist" and will be joined by the aforementioned ShelkyBean! Be sure to reach out with your thoughts for the feedback section!

We are now, technically speaking, OFFICIALLY into season 5, cortexifans, and we are so excited! We are joined by Geoff (xforce11), a familiar voice to the podcast as he has not only co-hosted before but is also a frequent contributor to our feedback section, and he offers some incredibly great insight into some of the music that is heard in the episode. We, of course, touch upon the beautiful ending and how it's an iconic Fringe scene, and we share some incredible feedback from listeners including Isla, Rory, Michael (of Fringe Connections), Anna (not Torv), ShelkyBean, and Erin! Join us next time when we are joined by Danielle and we discuss "In Absentia"!

Welcome back, cortexifans, to our fifth and final season! We are kicking things off a tad unconventionally by starting off season 5… with a season 4 episode! "Letters of Transit" was Fringe's whacky, out of the box 19th episode of season 4 and truly behaves as the backdoor premiere to season 5 which is why we ultimately decided to watch it and cover it that way. We are joined by Damon as we cover this bold introduction to the Observer invasion, and we share our thoughts as well as those from listeners such as Anna (not Torv), Geoff (xforce11), and ShelkyBean! Join us next time when we are joined by Geoff and we discuss the official start to season 5!
