The Fringe Podcast Rewatch

We are now, in every sense (technically, literally, etc.), on the ultimate penultimate episode of Fringe as we bring you "Liberty" AND soon to be death of the podcast. We are joined by special guest Marianne once again as we discuss this amazing episode of the series and its parallels to previous seasons and episodes. We also share some great feedback from Cortexifans including Rory, Anna (not Torv and also not The Numbers Lady), Erin, and ShelkyBean (The Numbers Lady)! Next up is the series finale of Fringe, "An Enemy of Fate," when it will just be the two of us, although we will be briefly joined by a very special guest for a brief discussion, so stay tuned for that! Be sure to reach out with your thoughts about the finale using one of the contact methods below. It's your final chance to be a part of our feedback section!

We are truly nearing the end, cortexifans - so much so that you could make the argument that, even though this isn't the penultimate episode of our podcast, we are covering the penultimate episode of the series given the fact that 5.12 and 5.13 aired together the same night as a two-hour finale. We talk about this incredibly important episode and all of the answers that it finally gives us alongside Fringe Connections creator Michael London, and we also share some, as always, incredible feedback from listeners such as Anna (not Torv), Rory, Geoff (xforce11), and ShelkyBean! Next up is "Liberty" when we will be joined once again by Marianne, so be sure to tune in for that and also to get your thoughts in while you still have time!

While Chris sadly couldn't make it to this episode, Darrell is joined by special guest Adam to discuss this emotionally heavy episode of Fringe as it winds down to its climax. With only three episodes remaining, Captain Windmark narrows in on the team after discovering that Michael (the titular Anomaly XB-6783746) is part of their plan to defeat the Observers, and the result is nothing short of, well… mindblowing. You can also expect to, as always, hear some truly awesome feedback from Cortexifans such as Anna (not Torv), Geoff (xforce11), Rory, and ShelkyBean! Time is running out to submit feedback since, again, we only have three episodes of the series left, so if you'd like to be a part of the feedback section, be sure to hit us via one of the contact methods listed below!

Since the final season couldn't offer us a nineteenth episode due to being a 13-episode order, we get our whacky, out-of-the-box episode in the form of episode 9. After dropping acid that is the titular Black Blotter, Walter goes on a trippy journey into his past and revisits some old demons, including one in the form of his former lab assistant Carla Warren who expired in a fire (see what we did there?). Missnet joins us to discuss this fun and whacky (although also surprisingly rather dark) episode of Fringe in which Michael is finally found and taken in by the Fringe team. We also share some phenomenal feedback from listeners like Rory, Geoff (xforce11), Anna (not Torv), and ShelkyBean! Next up is "Anomaly XB-6783746" when we will be joined by Adam! Until then, we only have four episodes left, so if you would like to submit feedback, be sure to reach out via one of the contact methods listed below!

Join us in welcoming Isla to the show for the first time covering this incredibly emotional gutpunch of an episode of Fringe! The three of us agree that while the episode has its weak spots, there are two scenes in particular that are very memorable, one of which being the beautiful tearjerker of a final scene. We also share some amazing listener feedback from Geoff (xforce11), ShelkyBean, Pavla, Anna (not Torv), Erin, and Peter Defender! Next up is this season's whacky episode "Black Blotter" when we will be joined by Missnett! Be sure to reach out with your thoughts for the feedback section!
