“How far would you be willing to go to save everyone you
care about? In 1985, one father’s choice
to save his son, no matter the cost, started an inadvertent pattern of
destruction. Now Fringe Division, a special
unit of the FBI, has been tasked with finding a way to stop the damage. Their investigations into cases of science
run amok have uncovered connections not only to their own past but to an
alternate universe just slightly different than our own that threatens our very
future.” That’s the official blurb for
the TV series the Fringe on Fox.
I watched this show when it first came out loving the
characters and the intelligent forethought that had been put into the
show. Since I have pulled the plug on my
TV viewing, I haven’t watched the program which is now in its 4th
season. I viewed this season’s premiere
at Barnes & Noble, my home away from home.
I was amazed that one
of the main characters, Peter Bishop, son of Water Bishop, well actually
Walternate Bishop of the Other Side disappeared at the end of last season or
was erased from time.
“Yet, traces of him bleed through,” said the Observer.
Because he was erased from time no one remembers him, but
Walter see his image in the mirror, on the TV or computer screen, which shakes
his already unstable mind.
With Peter hanging between reality and never-land, FBI special
Agent Olivia Dunham takes center stage, along with her counterpart, Bolivia
from the Other Side. It’s great seeing these
two women, although the same actress playing both parts, taking the lead
because of their strength and their own unique vulnerability of a life filled
with past pain. And with both in love with the same man, Peter, who is out there somewhere, can lead into a bit more friction between the two.
I recommend this series
for it’s acting, the story line and especially if you’re into science,
technology and the possibilities.

Gosh, I kept hearing about Fringe, but hadn't realized how relevant the storyline is to the book I'm writing! Will have to see if the previous seasons are on Netflix. Thanks for this post, Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteLove this show! The characterizations are fantastic, and the writers always know how to raise the stakes to ridiculous levels.
ReplyDeleteI was shocked to learn that Peter had been wiped from existence, as well. Wasn't expecting that.
And if you haven't watched the latest episode, the end is really going to shake things up now...
Lia,
ReplyDeleteI don't know if the past season are on Netflick, but you can buy past seasons on DVD. I guess you buy just about any series on TV nowdays. LOL. Thanks for dropping by.

Tiyana,
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've read, the creators of the show say Peter is coming back. "We pay him too much money not to use him." So, I guess once they figure how to bring him back they will. But, you're right the writers know how to up the stakes.
Thanks for dropping by,
Elizabeth
