Fringe: "Immortality" - 2/11 on FOX - Grading & Discussion
- Thread starter Aragorn
- Start date
Poor Charlie, I see a bunch of bug jokes in his near future.
Jog my memory; how did Scarlie get spiders in his bloodstream? That whole notion just creeps me out something serious.
First season, the chimera snake-eagle-bat thing, at least on our side.
Also, why hasn't SyFy made a movie about it yet?

Presumably, it played out a little different in the alt-verse.
This guy kind of reminds me of the ZFT guys and the giant cold bugs.
Looks like the iPad is big over there too.
"cone of silence"? I guess Get Smart exists there as well.

Thanks for that! Much appreciated.
For the record, I'd do the Bug Chick.
I really like the comraderie and interaction between the Alt Fringe team.

Back off Lady MacBeth!
Better give her a pat-down first, to make sure she doesn't have anything crawling on her.
Joan Chen. Another Twin Peaks connection.
Rome?
"I've been infected."
"He gave you an STD?"
"He gave you an STD?"
Damn it, it's a baby

I hope Peter's baby doesn't become some sort of big arc
-Peter's son now 20 year's old fights for alternate earth!

POOR!
If this is the best the show can do knowing full well cancellation looms over it and the show doesn't bother to pull out all the stops to really "wow" the viewers then it deserves to be canned.
This was exactly what I expected
Faulivia and her dull boyfriend. Check. Throw in a proposal to force Olivia to be conflicted about her feelings for Peter. Check. A dull unimaginative straightforward disposable fringe plot of the week--I mean flesh eating sheep beetles, and a scientist who loves them so much he wants to be a carrier--really?. Check. But wait it existed to drop the bombshell that Fauxlivia is pregnant--don't get me wrong as a big fan of 80s/90s soap operas I loved the pregnancy twist as a way of complicating relationships but nowadays it is just cliched, predictable and unsatisfying and if this was the big WTF how disappointing.
A few brief mentions of mythological elements that you want more of but only amount to a brief bit of namedropping. Check. Walternate, the white scientist, with his Asian hooker/confidante sharing his feelings. Cliched and check. The characters track down the bad guy and are placed in jeopardy that no one believes and therefore lacks any sort of suspense--how many times has Fringe done this--like every standalone. Check.
I simply don't care for the alternate characters so that doesn't help. I got so bored in this episode I decided to pause it on my live DVR and then I fast forwarded through the interminable scenes.
Fringe is just a mess. What promise I saw in "The Box", "6955 Hz", "Reciprocity" has evaporated with a bunch of aimless storytelling. They can't honestly think that anyone would find episodes like this or last week's the least bit entertaining or satisfying. And the ep description for next week sounds even mindnumbingly dull--"Peter and Olivia try to fix their relationship"--oooh exciting--that'll bring em running.
POOR, POOR, POOR! I should have watched Supernatural at least it is consistently middling.
