There is an annual nonstop Fringe community rewatch, called Fringe Binge, which is held every year between Christmas and New Year's. http://fringebinge.tumblr.com

I like this as an idea for an ongoing column, but don't hamstring it by keeping it confined to one season. You should call it "The God Run" (run of episodes) and highlight the best episodes of a show whether or not they span seasons. For Fringe, it was "Jacksonville" to "The Firefly" (which was a critically…

What does it matter? Season 5 never actually happened, you know.

Here's a good entry point episode: "August," from Season 2. If they like that episode, they will enjoy Fringe. Have them go back then to Season 1 and watch it through.

How about that five or six-minute long science/ethics conversation between John Noble and Peter Weller! (that's an eternity for a scene on television!)

I started watching Fringe around S2E7… right when it began ramping up to greatness. What a lucky time to start watching! When "Peter" aired, I realized I was watching one of the greatest God-runs of any sci-fi series in a long time.

Agreed. Fringe had one particular, extremely consistent premise throughout: the idea that traveling between universes always involved severe difficulty of some sort. You either had to drug/torture young children to get their "abilities" working; or you had to rip open the universes with devastating effects to at…

You forget The Firefly. After The Firefly it started to get a bit dodgy.

Unfortunately the peak season for Fringe spanned two different seasons - the second half of Season 2 and the first half of Season 3. The second half of Season 3 was a hot mess. All that stuff about "The First People" was clearly meant to be a major plotline, and thank goodness the showrunners decided to can it by…

I wanted to see this movie ever since I read the description a couple years ago-

This scenario has happened in umpteen movies and shows.

I thought this episode had many boring moments, but thought better of it when I realized that the episode echoed the season's best episode ("If Then Else") - except it was Reese's simulation instead of the Machine's. An elegant callback…

Hopefully someday we will be talking about the death of the superhero comic book genre.

Yes on Donnie Brasco. That movie really got screwed out of several Oscars by being inexplicably released in February.

And Julianne Moore just won this year, when she should have won for Far From Heaven or Safe.

I would like to express my delight that Root actually got to do something unexpected and psycho this episode (the Syringe Solution). I have been worried that she has been getting too "normalized" lately. Seeing her stab her true love with a drug laden syringe was SUCH a Root Moment.

POI always, ALWAYS has a slower start to the season. The back halves are always spectacular. No worries.

The life of a Beta Male is very difficult. Give them a break.

No comments on the appearance of Marburg virus in the storyline? It would be a nightmare if Samaritan decided that "targeted spreading" of an Ebola-like virus would be an efficient way of controlling undesirables… If any supercomputer could manipulate a controlled spread of virus (knowing where people would be, who…

However, keep in mind that with the Machine currently giving Root the silent treatment, all bets for Shoot are off once the Machine (Root's true love) comes back. And what if the Machine forces Root to choose between Shaw and Her?
