The Fringe Podcast Rewatch

Unearthed from Fringe's first season is this bonus episode which is, well, an episode. While it is a complete standalone story and really nothing all that special, it does give us a tiny bit of insight into some of the characters' mindsets and their beliefs, and we both agree that the acting from guest star Alice Kremelberg is really great. We share what we think some of the episode's most memorab...

There's more than one of everything, and that include our hosts this week. We have not two hosts talking about the climactic first season finale but once again we have three! This time, Chris and Darrell are joined by a voice that listeners of the original run of The Fringe Podcast will definitely recognize - the one and only Clint! In Fringe's first season finale, Olivia notices a connection betw...

Chris and Darrell take the road not taken with guest Michael London (creator of Fringe Connections ) as we discuss this phenomenal penultimate episode of Fringe 's first season! Olivia is once again confronted by her past as a Cortexiphan subject when she starts having strange visions of alternate versions of events and colleagues, and, much to our delight, we get to see Harris make a fiery exit!...

We take a quick break from the Cortexiphan story to discuss a vampire… sort of. This vampire is engineered by science and must feed on spinal fluid rather than blood. (That's Fringe for you!) Dive into our discussion of this myth-alone episode which features a standalone story with some loose threads to the overarching mythology. We discuss our memories of this episode and how, for some reason, we...

Imagine having a nightmare in which you murder someone only to wake up and discover that it really happened… or did it? Dreams aren't always literal, after all. Join us as we discuss one of the best episodes of Fringe 's first season, the second episode of the show that dives into Olivia's past as a Cortexiphan subject. We discuss our thoughts about the connection that Olivia shares with Nick Lane...

Get ready as we unleash our discussion of this episode of Fringe ! We both agree that, despite its dubious science, this is a decent stand-alone episode, and we, as always, think back to our thoughts when we first saw it and whether or not we feel any differently now. We talk a lot about the character development and growth that we see from Walter and discuss whether his heroic act at the end is t...

Get in touch with your inner Observer child this week as we discuss this exciting episode of Fringe ! We reflect back on our initial thoughts when we first watched this episode, including wondering whether or not the Child (also known at the time, by us at least, as CBK) was an Observer and what that implied if so, if Olivia disliked yellow M&Ms because they reminded her of Cotexiphan, what the de...

We have eagerly been waiting to discuss "Ability" for months because it's that good, undoubtedly one of the best episodes of Fringe 's first season if not the best. There is just so much to unpack here, and so much of the show's overarching mythology is brought to light here in this episode, including the Cortexiphan trials, the existence of parallel universes, and the inevitable war between the B...

More ill-fated passengers on a plane? Yes, but this is not the pilot episode, although there are many parallels and callbacks to it, as well as some shoutouts to another J.J. Abrams staple, Alias. We are here to talk about all of that as well as our memories of this fantastic episode of Fringe which brings so much of the plot of the first season so far to a close. We, as always, talk about our fav...

What's that noise? It's not the sound of a brain-melting computer virus but rather a discussion between us and guest co-host Geoff (xforce11) on this rather polarizing episode of Fringe! This episode takes a break from the mythology and gives us a stand-alone case of the week involving a man exacting revenge on those he holds responsible for ruining his life by liquifying the brains of their loved...

You are bound to enjoy our discussion of this high-octane episode of Fringe ! Although we both agree that the cliffhanger from the last episode is wrapped up a bit too early here and that the exposition is a bit too heavy-handed, this episode moves at anything but a sluggish pace and left us with plenty of new questions when it first aired thirteen years ago. What was ZFT trying to accomplish by k...

We hope that you stay safe listening to our discussion this week as we chat about the tenth episode of Fringe 's first season, effectively the mid-season finale given its big cliffhanger and the hiatus that followed. We, as always, talk about our favorite moments and pieces of dialogue from this episode, thoughts that we might have had when we initially watched it vs. what we think now that we hav...

Join Chris and Darrell this week as they enter the dreamscape and talk about killer butterflies, toad venom, corporate conspiracies, faulty memories, and more! We reflect on this memorable episode of Fringe and share our favorite moments from it, how we remembered certain scenes having happened in other episodes, and our frustrations around several conflicts introduced in this episode that were se...

Mitchell Loeb is back and is up to no good again as he now orchestrates the abduction of a young boy to extract the solution of an equation from him. We, as always, reflect on this episode and what thoughts we remember having when we first saw it and what thoughts we have now, discuss whether or not there is a Stranger Things reference this time around, theorize about who or what we think the Walt...

It's time to finally meet David Robert Jones, the Big Bad of Fringe's first season! This is a game-changing episode of the first season as we learn a little bit more about The Pattern and who is behind it and also hear Walter tell a captivating and enthralling story about fruit cocktail. We talk about our memories of having first seen this episode and our initial reactions to it vs. our reactions...

Darrell had to step away and deal with something in the Redverse this week, so joining Chris this time around is Geoff, also known as xforce11! We are talking all things "The Cure" - the sixth episode of Fringe's first season in which a drug company is turning people suffering from a rare and fatal disease into human weapons! We reflect on our favorite moments from this episode and connect some of...

Join us as we have an electrifying discussion about "Power Hungry" - the fifth episode of Fringe's first season! We talk about Joseph Meegar and how sorry we feel for him as well as some interesting parallels between him and Olivia while also pointing to a couple of poignant lines of dialogue that foreshadow revelations that we get later in the series. We also talk about whether or not the science...

It has arrived, although we sure hope that a gigantic metal suppository is not the pinnacle of human achievement! That's right! We are here to discuss "The Arrival" - the game-changing fourth episode of the first season of Fringe! We take you back to the very first official introduction to September which starts with this episode's memorable opening scene while, at the same time, looking ahead to...

We considered using the ghost network to talk about this episode of Fringe but ultimately decided against it, so we are instead coming to you as usual via your favorite podcast app! "The Ghost Network" seemingly introduces us to amber which plays a much larger role later in the series, and it also presents us with another example of someone who was victimized by Walter's past transgressions as he...

We're back to talk about the punnily titled "The Same Old Story" - the second episode of Fringe! This episode introduces us to supersoldiers and clones, both of which will come back into play later in the series, and it also drops another huge hint about Peter's mysterious history. Olivia is totally beating herself up due to John Scott's betrayal, but should she be? Meanwhile, a serial killer is o...

So much, so much happened here, and so much is about to! Welcome to The Fringe Podcast Rewatch ! Hosted by Darrell and Chris, the podcast is a revival of sorts of the award-winning The Fringe Podcast , only this time, we're reflecting back on the series as a whole nearly a decade after its epic conclusion in January of 2013, bringing you bi-weekly discussions of each and every episode of Fringe 's...

In the years since Fringe wrapped, Fringe fans have asked us many times to create a rewatch podcast. That time has finally arrived.  We are committing to a muti-year project where we will rewatch the show, break down the episodes, and invite Fringe fans to participate along with us.  It's called: The Fringe Podcast Rewatch.  The Fringe Podcast Rewatch is a podcast for Fringe fans who have already...
