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.
S2E9 Snakehead

“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!
S2E8 August

“August” is undoubtedly a favorite amongst the Fringe fandom, and it’s no wonder why. It’s a beautiful episode with a powerful message about love and how it makes each of us important. It also offers up so many clues regarding Peter’s past while still, in traditional Fringe fashion, asking new questions. Join us as we reflect back on this episode, sharing our favorite moments and discussing why this has gone down as such a memorable episode.
S2E7 Of Human Action

This episode is kind of a special one for us because of how much we love Cameron Monaghan’s work on Gotham, so we are so excited to share this discussion with you! Tune in as we share our favorite moments from this “myth-alone” episode and our memories of whether or not we picked up on the twist before it was revealed. We also share how, even though we really enjoy this episode, we wish that it had come back into play later in the series.

Fringe gives us yet another case of the week with no apparent ties to the overarching mythology, so how do we feel about this one? Listen as we share our thoughts on this Fringe episode which… isn’t quite as down to earth as what we had come to expect. We talk about our favorite moments from the episode such as Broyles’ wholesome interaction with the young child at the restaurant and our appreciation for the show diving deeper into Broyles’ backstory. We also share some amazing feedback from listeners like you, feedback from Ross, Geoff (xforce11), Eric, and Patty from Canadia!
S2E5 Dream Logic

Although it sort of abandons the overarching mythology again and gives us what is more or less a standalone story, “Dream Logic” is still a strong episode of Fringe, giving us some great character moments and symbolism. We (Chris and Darrell) share our thoughts about this episode and what we first thought about it vs. what we think now. We share our favorite moments such as Olivia opening up to Peter about the death of Charlie, the episode’s many uses of colors such as red and green, and so much more! Be sure to stay tuned for the entire episode because we also share some great feedback from listeners including Eric, ShelkyBean, Pavla aka Polla, Geoff, and Patty from Canadia!

S2E4 Momentum Deferred

Momentum can be deferred, but it must always be paid back in full, and, after the last two episodes of the season, this episode certainly pays it back! We finally get one of the big season finale cliffhangers resolved – what Olivia and William Bell talked about in the Redverse – and also get a plethora of burning questions answered. It all comes to a head (see what we did there?) when our hero is broken and defeated and the bad guys have seemingly won.
S2E3 Fracture

Join Chris and Darrell this week as we discuss “Fracture” – the third episode of Fringe’s second season! We reflect on whether or not we initially suspected that the case would tie into the Observers and how this episode ties into season 5. We also discuss how the last couple of scenes really help save the episode for us, and we share feedback from Rory, M.G., Patty from Canadia, ShelkyBean, and Musketeer Dad.

It’s finally time to discuss the infamous Mole-Rat Man episode, the episode that initially went down as many fans’ least favorite episode. How does it hold up fourteen years later? Do we still not care a whole lot for this episode, or do we now look back at it more fondly? We speculate as to why this episode didn’t initially go over well and, of course, share listener feedback from Rory, Patty from Canadia and her daughter Emily, ShelkyBean, Erin, and Juan!

It’s a new day on the old podcast for us as we are back to discuss the amazing season 2 premiere of Fringe!
