Olivia's first case back in our world begs the question: how could Peter not know the difference between her and Fauxlivia?
This review may contain spoilers. The episode opens at a train station, which we all know is never a good sign. Luckily, nothing horrible or gruesome happened this particular location. So that’s progress, right? But then there’s some business with organ removal and people surviving after h ...
Read MoreJoanne Kelly will make a guest appearance in ABC super series
There’s nothing ordinary about working in "Warehouse 13," and actress Joanne Kelly is sticking with the unknown by taking on no ordinary guest role in ABC’s “No Ordinary Family.” Kelly, who plays Myka Bering on the Syfy series, will appear in the episode “No Ordinary Detention,” which ...
Read MoreHowever, 'Chuck' and 'No Ordinary Family' share crown
It was a win for "Chuck" on NBC and "No Ordinary Family" on ABC, but nothing really to write home about. "No Ordinary Family" moved into its trail Tuesday at 9 p.m. slot only to hit a series low. Its 3.7 rating/6 share, according to Fast National overnight ratings from The Nielsen Co., was 16 per ...
Read MoreThe jig is up, the news is out, they've finally found Olivia. Well, almost
This review may contain spoilers. "The Abducted" can pretty much be considered the last "Fringe" episode of the 'trading places' arc we've grown accustomed to. Olivia (Anna Torv) knows who she really is, so she's finally ready to escape and go back home. Peter (Joshua Jackson) knows that the woma ...
Read MoreRadios erasing people's memories? Sounds like just another Thursday night for "Fringe."
This review may contain spoilers. Off an average episode on the Other Side, last week, "Fringe" comes back with a stellar scientific anomaly of the week (fully based in mythology) episode with "6955 kHz." The episode title refers to an AM radio numbers station that, when played at the "right" tim ...
Read MoreBut if history is proof, it will bounce back again
Call it the World Series hangover. Hell, that's what we're calling it. "Fringe" hit a series low this past week, scoring a 3.0 rating/5 share in Fast National overnight ratings from The Nielsen Co., losing 45 percent of its "Bones" lead-in on Fox Thursday, and marking the first series low since, ...
Read MoreAs if alternate versions of characters weren't enough, now there's twins.
This review may contain spoilers. "Fringe" is back with a new episode and the greatest scientific anomaly of all time -- identical twins. Okay, maybe identical twins aren't really the greatest scientific anomaly of all time -- especially not in "Fringe" canon -- but the show certainly tried it ...
Read MoreRatings may not be breaking any records, but the series has creative support
Thursdays are tough for any show. But for a series like "Fringe," with its complex science-fiction structure, it's practically murder. Yet, the show from the team that brought the most recent "Star Trek" movie is surviving, and that support from Fox could continue into a potential fourth season, ...
Read MoreShapeshifters and sex -- what more do you need?
This review may contain spoilers. This week's episode of "Fringe"-- which took place in our world instead of the other side -- was all about feelings, both real and fake. Is Fauxlivia (Anna Torv) growing a real attachment to Peter (Joshua Jackson)? Is Peter too blinded by his feelings for Olivia ...
Read MorePlaying two characters from two alternate universes, without the goatee, can be challenging
It's been kind of tough, but really fun. Unlike her co-star Joshua Jackson, Anna Torv really does have to pull double duty on Fringe this season. While shes still being given the same amount of screentime, shes doing it as two different (but inherently similar) characters. And she even addresses ...
