The Man From the Other Side is (at least in correct people’s opinions) one of the best episodes of the entire series of Fringe! Something that we had been anticipating for such a long time - the culmination of the secret that Walter has been keeping for so long and it finally being exposed to Peter. In this climactic, pivotal episode (which really, in a lot of ways, leads fairly directly into the incredible two-part season finale in a few episodes), Peter finally inadvertently discovers that he is from the Redverse, and the scene that follows is one of the best acted, most emotional scenes of the entire series, with absolutely top-notch acting from both Josh Jackson and, of course, John Noble! Join us this week as we discuss this amazing episode with longtime member of the Golden Spiral Media community, Cory Metcalfe! We also get some fantastic feedback from listeners - including Geoff (xforce11), Eric from Pennsylvania, Rory, ShelkyBean, and Erin! Next up, we will be discussing “Brown Betty,” Fringe’s first of four whacky, out-of-the-box episodes, and the aforementioned Geoff will be on board with us for that! We would love to hear your thoughts about the episode, so please feel free to reach out to us! We would love to include you in the feedback section!

Damon (not Lindelof) joins us this week to discuss this beloved fan favorite episode “White Tulip,” co-starring the talented Peter Weller as Dr. Alistair Peck! The episode follows Dr. Peck as he tries repeatedly to travel back in time to the day his fiancée was killed in a car accident so that he can be reunited with her. It’s a beautiful episode with a powerful ending that sets the stage for Peter finally learning the truth of his origin in the next episode. Listen in as we discuss the different rules of time travel depending on the story and what rules Fringe seems to be establishing, the phenomenal acting bounced off back and forth between John Noble and Peter Weller, and so much more! We also get some incredible feedback from listeners like you, including Rory, Geoff (xforce11), Michael London, Eric from Pennsylvania, ShelkyBean, and Linda Is Lost! Join us next time for our discussion of the amazing episode “The Man from the Other Side” which will feature Cory Metcalfe as our guest host!

This is another great episode on this roller-coaster of Fringe episodes as we near the incredible season finale! This time, we are returning to the topic of Cortexiphan subjects as we meet a new one - James Heath, and we are joined by Marianne this week as we discuss this episode so obviously inspired by the board game and film Clue! We discuss the references to Clue as well as the amazing performances in this episode, especially from Anna Torv who we all seem to agree is the MVP of this episode. We also share our enthusiasm around Sam Weiss and how happy we are to see him again, while also lamenting that his enigmatic lines in this episode about his origins are never satisfactorily explained. You can also expect to hear incredible feedback from frequent feedbackers Rory, Erin, Geoff (xforce11), Eric, Patty from Canadia, and ShelkyBean! We hope that you will join us not only for this episode but also for the next episode when we discuss the fan favorite episode “White Tulip” with Damon, but until then, feel free to reach out to us with your feedback because we would love to feature you in our feedback segment!

We are so excited to finally be talking about this phenomenal episode of Fringe - the highly anticipated episode in which we finally get the story of how and why Peter was abducted from the Redverse. When last we left our heroes, Olivia’s “glimmer” ability kicked in just before she and Peter went on their very first date, leading her to realize that Peter is originally from the Redverse. Walter pleads with Olivia to not tell him, and in this episode (which features a fun, synthy ‘80s rendition of the theme music), we are taken back to 1985 as Walter sits down with Olivia to tell her the story. Just about everything about this episode is perfect. The cinematography makes it seem almost movie-like, and John Noble, Blair Brown, and Orla Brady all give Emmy-worthy performances!

Join us as well as returning co-host Michael London of Fringe Connections as we discuss all of that and so much more! You can also expect to hear phenomenal feedback from Damon, ShelkyBean, Eric from Pennsylvania, Rory, Patty from Canadia, Erin, and Hannah! If you would like to contribute feedback like they did for this incredible episode, be sure to check out our contact methods listed below! We would love to hear from you, and be sure to join us next time for our discussion of “Olivia. In the Lab. With the Revolver” which will feature another guest co-host - Marianne!

We have finally arrived where Fringe is arguably at its absolute best, a block of episodes that even the showrunners referred to as a “rollercoaster.” Olivia’s Cortexiphan ability comes back into play in this episode when she travels to the titular Jacksonville, Florida where the Cortexiphan trials took place. She must confront fear on so many levels, ultimately temporarily saving the day but making a horrifying discovery. We are joined by Danielle (DillyDilly) in this episode and also share amazing feedback from Erin, Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), ShelkyBean, Patty from Canadia, Emily (also known as The Soggy Nacho), and Anna (not Torv)!

Join us this week for our discussion of “The Bishop Revival” as we unpack a little bit of the Bishop family history in this very purple episode about a Nazi scientist who somehow has not aged since the 1940s and is carrying out deadly experiments to advance the Nazi agenda. It’s an episode with a fascinating fringe science behind it, and we dive into the colors that we see in this episode as well as the several lines of dialogue that are so multilayered on rewatch. We get some truly awesome feedback from several listeners, including Geoff (xforce11), ShelkyBean, new contributor Morgan (also known in the Redverse as The Strawberry Supreme), Eric, and Patty from Canadia! If you would like to contribute feedback like they did, be sure to check out our contact methods listed below! We would love to hear from you, and be sure to join us next time for our discussion of “Jacksonville” which will feature guest co-host Danielle (or DillyDilly, as you prefer).

We are rediscovering what lies below this week on the show, which includes a seemingly sentient virus that comes from ten miles underground, the feelings that are obviously blooming between Olivia and Peter, and Walter’s long buried secret. We discuss dialogue that we may or may not have caught the significance of back in 2010 and our thoughts about whether this standalone episode has any staying power. (Spoiler alert - yes, it does, especially because of that intense final scene!) We also get a lot of amazing feedback for this episode from Geoff (xforce11), The Best Em, Eric, ShelkyBean, Linda is Lost, Rory, and Patty from Canadia!

We are finally back to the main season 2 storyline in “Grey Matters,” an episode that gives us quite a lot to think about when it comes to Walter, so we are not only excited to be talking about this episode but are also very excited to have Mark joining us as a co-host! This episode (properly) introduces us to Thomas Jerome Newton, arguably the big bad of season 2, and we share some of our thoughts on him, such as how his politeness reminds us a bit of David Robert Jones. We also touch upon our favorite moments from this episode and the wonderful character dynamics that we get, as well as touch upon the color palette of the episode.

You can also expect to hear from regular feedbackers ShelkyBean, Eric, Geoff (xforce11), Rory, and our favorite whacky Canadian - Patty, so if you would like to be a part of the discussion and contribute feedback to the show, please do so via one of the contact methods listed below! We would love to hear from some more Cortexifans! There are also still a few episodes of season 2 open for a co-host opportunity, so if you think that what Mark did with us on this episode sounds fun, hit up the Community Portal and sign up!

“Snakehead” ended up calling for a lot of discussion around the overarching themes and messages of Fringe, discussion that we probably hadn’t been expecting, and we are so excited to bring this conversation to you! Listen as we nerd out over this stand-alone but very beautifully written episode. We share enthusiasm around the gross-out factor of the episode and how beautiful Walter’s growth is in this episode, and we also, as always, share your thoughts on the show, too! This week, we hear from Eric, Geoff (xforce11), Rory, Shaïna, Patty from Canadia, and ShelkyBean! There are still a few episodes of season 2 open for a co-host opportunity (including “What Lies Below,” “The Bishop Revival,” “Olivia. In the Lab. With the Revolver.,” and “Northwest Passage”), so if you would like to join us for one of those episodes, be sure to hit up the Community Portal!
