I don’t post about Fringe as much as I do my other fandoms. The post:squee ratio is way off, though. I love Fringe. We’re into Season 2 and I see no red flags that make me want to jump ship. If anything, I think I can weather the Charlie storm and come out a little stronger for it. My admiration for Olivia is still high, and I’m as intrigued by Peter as I’ve ever been. Walter, while brilliantly portrayed by John Noble, continues to know more than most people can even dream, but I’m starting to hurt for him a little too much. Now that we know the gravity of his secret, it’s hard to watch him deal with the love and guilt he has for Peter. It’s great stuff, though.
I absolutely hate that we have to take a few weeks off for baseball. Seriously, don’t they sell special satellite packages for people who really want to watch sports these days?
I made a TON of observations this week and I can’t wait to hear the far more brilliant members of The Fringe Podcast give their takes on the ep. They’ve just announced that Jasika Nicole (Astrid) will be on this week’s podcast! Sunday can’t come soon enough (and I have NEVER said that!).

I agree. I haven’t noticed any possible misteps, other than Charlie.
Maybe he’ll be back for a few flashbacks like Mark Vallee was. John Noble continues to amaze me with the complexities he’s able to pull of in one expression or phrase. I liked Walter’s new patsy, Agent Kasner (?), but I doubt he’ll be around again. Still, it goes to show how amazing this program is if even the bit players are able to make you like them and want to see more.
