Fringe has come to an end, let’s look back at Season One.
When J.J. AbramsFringefirst aired on Fox back in 2008, it was hailed by many as the nextX-files.
Thats a pretty lofty expectation for a new show to live up to.
Not surprising, coming from the man who also producedLost.
The Fringe Division is headed by reticent Special Agent Phillip Broyles (Lance Reddick).
In other words, a typical woman.
Olivia blackmails Peter into reluctantly agreeing.
In my opinion, the hilarious banter between Peter and Walter is what really makes the show.
And lets not forget Olivias assistant Astrid (a.k.
(We here at DoG would like to give Jean an award for Best Supporting Bovine.)
I personally found enjoyment in scanning every scene for him (like Wheres Waldo).
However, we never hear about it again during Season One.
The incidents all seem to stem from Walters work years ago, researching fringe sciences for the government.
Most seem to be intended as biological or chemical weapons.
Or the man who is dosed with an advanced hallucinogen and dies from psychosomatic injuries.
However, there is something far greater at work than petty criminals stealing technology for biological warfare.
In other words, what could have been.
He kind of reminds you of your sweet old grandpa (if your grandpa did LSD).
It strikes me as slightly too convenient and maybe a small oversight on the part of the producers.
The other is the lack of Boston accents, but who wants to listen to those anyway?
Their relationship does not become romantic in nature just yet; both are secretive and have difficulty trusting others.
Particularly after the season opened with John professing his love for her and Olivia hesitantly returned the sentiment.
That, coupled with Peters biting sarcasm, makes for some hilarious dialogue.
I find many of their exchanges to be laugh out loud funny.
The last few episodes in particular will really leave you impatient for the next.
Whats not to love?
