the first half was uneven--in my opinion the alternate episodes weren't that good saddled with some weak standalone plots and I have found the alt fringe team boring. The even episodes were definitely solid--"The Box", "What do Shapeshifter dream of?", "6955 Hz" and the culmination of the return but then the marionette episode was lame, firefly was decent but not as good as it should have been for an Observer show. Then after "Reciprocity" the show has spun its wheel with a large swath of episodes offering nothing significant to the mythology, giving us disposable plots, focusing too much on romance and going on far too many tangents that add up to nothing other than a stalling tactic.It does boggle the mind with the ratings it gets and the weak season it is having.How did Fringe get renewed?
Hey now, the first half of the season was great, the second half has been terrible.
And the thing is they keep saying they have 6 or 7 seasons of story to tell yet they know they will never get renewed to last tha long so why not cut out the crap and tighten up the storytelling by getting down to business in covering all those years worth of supposed story. The mythololgy is all the show has got going for it really and it is foolish not to shift to that rather than giving us all this lame filler.The writers seem to be only able to write 13 episodes a year.
