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.

Darrell and returning guest DillyDally (Chris unfortunately couldn’t make it for this episode – he said something about getting a strange doll in the mail and then disappeared?) discuss this myth-alone episode of Fringe which gives us a blend of a stand-alone case of the week as well as an introduction to a new Cortexiphan subject! Tune in to hear their thoughts on Simon, the blue powder, the drama and tension between Olivia and Peter, and Sam’s insights into how The Machine works.

Shapeshifters are back this week, but they have definitely met their match in a nocturnal vigilante none other than Peter Bishop! Join us this week as we take on “Reciprocity,” an episode that we don’t look back on as fondly as we remember because of the pieces of the mythology that are established but then never followed up on. We also, as always, get some phenomenal feedback from listeners like Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), Erin, and Anna (not Torv), and ShelkyBean! Join us next time when we cover “Concentrate and Ask Again” with returning co-host DillyDally!

We are once again joined by frequent feedbacker Geoff (xforce11) for this episode as we discuss this absolutely incredible episode of Fringe, “The Firefly!” Listen in as we discuss how much we love Christopher Lloyd’s performance as Roscoe Joyce (keyboardist from Walter’s favorite band Violet Sedan Chair). We also reflect on the ties that this episode has to the season 3 finale’s cliffhanger as well as the themes of season 5.

Joined by special guest co-host Pavla, we are so excited to be talking about this beautiful, Gothic, Frankenstein-esque horror story of a Fringe episode this week! We discuss some of the episode’s best scenes such as Olivia’s talk with Broyles when she returns to work, her breakdown in her apartment, and her incredible monologue at the end that should have (but, of course, didn’t) earn Anna at least an Emmy nomination if not a win.

The riveting season 2 finale’s cliffhanger finally comes to a dramatic climax in “Entrada” when Peter learns the truth about who “Olivia” really is and his actual Olivia finally finds a way home. Joined by guest Michael Hoover (whose interpretation of the show’s theme you will hear!), we discuss all of our favorite moments from this incredible episode (such as Walter’s “vagenda” line and the incredible dialogue between characters like Olivia and Colonel Broyles) and the heroic sacrifice that Colonel Broyles makes in the Redverse.
