Subject 9 is a pivotal episode of Fringe marking Peter’s return to the timeline… sort of. We are joined once again this week by the awesome Anna (not Torv) and our discussions touch upon some of the new developments about this timeline revealed in this episode such as different relationships between characters like Olivia and Nina and Walter and Nina (or Viper as you prefer), and we also discuss the incredible performance by the late Chadwick Boseman.

Although we are discussing the Fringe episode “Alone in the World” this week on the podcast, we are not actually alone because we are joined by Hannah, our resident fungus expert! We talk about what we love about this episode and its themes but also express some disappointment over never seeing Aaron again despite the powerful bond that he forms with Walter.

We are joined by frequent feedback contributor ShelkyBean one night in April, discussing Fringe episode, “One Night in October” in which the Redverse asks for help from the Blueverse to help them stop a serial killer. We have a wonderful, deep conversation about the rich themes that are explored in this episode such as nature vs. nurture.

After a bit of a break between seasons, we are back for season 4, cortexifans! Join us for our premiere episode in which we discuss “Neither Here nor There,” the episode that finally makes Seth Gabel a series regular and, of course, the first episode set in the new orange/amber timeline. We run through what we like about this premiere and what might have initially frustrated us, and, of course, we share amazing feedback from listeners like you!

“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 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.

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 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.
S3E17 Stowaway

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.
