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.

Many depictions of the Christmas story include the wise men at the manger most likely for the sake of simplicity. That doesn’t mean the Bible is incorrect, but that depictions of the story are incorrect. What some skeptics do consider to be a contradiction is the differences in where the family lived and traveled after Jesus was born. Are these indeed contradictions that disprove the Biblical story of Jesus’ birth?

This month we look at two episodes which share the common theme of time being unnaturally halted and the moral quandaries that such power presents. In “Elegy,” three astronauts become stranded on an asteroid which shares characteristics similar to earth Earth. Soon they discover people frozen in time, evoking themes of time suspension and existential anxiety. Similarly, “Still Valley” follows a Confederate soldier discovering a village frozen by a mysterious spell, presenting him with moral dilemmas regarding the use of this power to assist the Confederacy.

Elephants do indeed have excellent memories. If you’re like me, you think of this fact as a good thing. That is, if someone says you have a memory like an elephant, you’d take it as a compliment. Today I’m going to flip that on its head, show how it can be a negative, and hopefully help you examine your own life to see if you have a memory like an elephant.

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.
