UNEXPLAINED BOMBS PUT INNOCENT LIVES ON THE LINE AND OUR FBI AGENTS IN A RACE AGAINST TIME ON “FRINGE” THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, ON FOX

Peter, Walter, Olivia and Broyles pursue a strange and deadly occurrence in Philadelphia where a bomb blew up inside a train station but left no trace of any explosive device. The perplexing and unexplained set of circumstances returns Walter to the lab to closely examine the human remains where he uncovers an unlikely energy source that triggered the explosion. With the explosive threat of more bombs and links to a classified military project, the intense investigation leads Olivia and Peter to Iraq in the “Fracture” episode of FRINGE airing Thursday, Oct. 1 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

I can't wait for the episode!

You are all welcome <3

I can't wait for tonight's episode!

WackieGRL · 10-01-2009, 03:27 PM

Hum.

I wonder what Shifter-Charlie is going to do in tonights episode!

**killed the lights** · 10-01-2009, 07:18 PM

I liked this episode! At first I dind't think it was Pattern related but then at the end I was like AHHHH! So the people with the briefcases bring info to The Observer(s?). And the pictures of Walter, GAH! I wonder what that means. I used to think The Observer(s) were good, or at least neutral, but now I'm not so sure ...

There were some cute character scenes tonight. I loved all the Walter/Astrid interaction. You can see they are becoming really close from working together. He even asked her when she lived, aww! I really liked their fruit/explosion scene too. Astrid was all "I just cleaned that" but she let Walter do the experiment anyway.

And Walter got SO EXCITED when it worked. Hee, I love him in the lab.

The P/O tonight was adorable! I love how they always go interview people together. I love their little adventures. And AWWW did you guys see when Olivia went into the car after interviewing the bomb victim's wife, Peter closed the car door for her! SO chivalrous!

Then when they were in Iraq: "Then what would I do, your the one with the gun" BAHAH too funny <3 Peter didn't seem to want to get into his backstory with Olivia, since that guy who P/O were meeting in the bar clearly knew Peter. I bet he'll tell her eventually, not all of it, but some of it. When it's the right time I guess. Dudes and P/O had ANOTHER bar scene. They are seriously the benchwarmers who go to bars, LOL.

I thought the Walter/Peter scene with gene was HILAR. When Peter was eating the cheeseburger and Walter was like "Watch where you eat that!" LMFAO and then Peter just takes a huge bite. They seemed like such father/son there. And then when Walter was eating a donut in the back of the FBI meeting.

That guy is always eating something.

I guess Sam was right, Liv had really bad side effects today. But she didn't have supersonic hearing in this ep, did she? I wonder if that was only a temporary side effect and not another 'ability' like we (or at least I) previously thought. I felt bad for her when she was throwing up in the bathroom. But Sam yay! He got her not to use her cane anymore. Smart man. Sly, but smart. Nothing short of what I would expect from someone referred by Nina Sharp.

I really liked this ep! I loved how the end came back to the Pattern. GAH and next week looks like we get to see Liv's talk with Bell finally! Can't wait!

This week's episode was clearly outstanding (9.5/10), and next week looks EPIC.

Crazy good episode! Things are about to go insane next week. Keep up the crazy!

OMG those were the ratings?! GAHHHHH that makes me so happy! I'm so glad Fringe is back to it's regular number of viewers again. It must have just been because those other two shows were premiering last Thursday.

aussiechic · 10-02-2009, 07:39 AM

LOL No they are not the ratings for this week, Killed the Lights. That's just what Conway gave the episode. It would be great if that was the ratings, but last week's ratings were really bad. Only after two episodes, the show is already on the cusp of cancellation. So, let's all hope that they trend up for this week.

**killed the lights** · 10-02-2009, 09:40 AM

^Ohhhh.

But I just chceked Zap2it, and Fringe pulled in 6.2 mill (3.7/6 in the demos) last night. Definitely up from last week but not as good as it was doing last season. I deff think it's the timeslot =/.

***Mandy*** · 10-02-2009, 11:57 AM

Oh, the timeslot is KILLING Fringe. I figured it would. FOX never cares when they do this and fail to think about how it'll effect the shows.

Last night's episode didn't fair well with the NY Times:

Fringe: Don’t Worry — I Know a Guy! -- Vulture

I do think it's funny that Peter always "knows a guy" to save the day.

What will it take for people to stop undermining Peter Bishop? It seems Peter can never win.
