Oh how I’ve missed Fringe. The season premiere was a bit too low key for some but I enjoyed it… immensely. We got to see Ourlivia escape her captors only to medicated into believing that she’s Altlivia. My favorite part of the episode was seeing the Alternate universe. Though Olivia threatened and held a cabby hostage, we got an extensive tour of Altverse. We got to see the signature zeppelins, retro bikes with the big wheels, and we even got to see a building get preserved in Alt goo.

The latest episode “The Box” was standard Fringe in it’s full glory complete with wacky Walter jokes and stomach churning scenes: Walter (almost) eating brains, Walter digging in brains,  a head exploding and a scene of the headless body post-head explosion. It was disgusting but highly entertaining. In this episode, a piece of Alt Universe tech got loose and was killing people with sound waves (or some such). We find out that the tech was sent over by Walternate but he wasn’t trying to hide it or kill people in some nefarious plot, he was trying to engage Peter… so he can eventually kill people in some nefarious plot. Evil never sleeps, not even in alternate universes.

Fringe airs on Thursdays at 9/8C on Fox.
