The Fringe Podcast Rewatch

We are joined by Ynza for this episode of the podcast as we discuss this awesome episode of Fringe! Ynza opens up about the unique ways that Fringe has impacted her as a trans woman, and we enthusiastically share excitement about Blair Brown being back in full force in this episode as well as how great Josh Jackson's performance is playing a new version of Peter. We also share some great feedback from Cortexifans including Anna (not Torv), Geoff (xforce11), Rory, ShelkyBean, and Isla! Next up is "The Human Kind" when we will be joined by the aforementioned Isla! Be sure to reach out with your thoughts for the feedback section!

We are joined by Cory for this episode as we unpack yet another phenomenal, game-changing episode of Fringe! We talk about how much we love how emotionally poignant this aftermath of an episode is and how it is a great character study not only of the classic Fringe theme of what lengths someone will go to for love but also how people can experience the same tragedy but then react and grieve differently. We also share some truly excellent feedback from cortexifans like Anna (not Torv - who will be our guest host next episode), Geoff (xforce11), Ynza, Rory, ShelkyBean, Erin, and Isla!

We are now, technically speaking, OFFICIALLY into season 5, cortexifans, and we are so excited! We are joined by Geoff (xforce11), a familiar voice to the podcast as he has not only co-hosted before but is also a frequent contributor to our feedback section, and he offers some incredibly great insight into some of the music that is heard in the episode. We, of course, touch upon the beautiful ending and how it's an iconic Fringe scene, and we share some incredible feedback from listeners including Isla, Rory, Michael (of Fringe Connections), Anna (not Torv), ShelkyBean, and Erin!

We are ringing in 2026 with our discussion of the Fringe season 4 finale! We discuss the powerful character moments and great performances from some of the cast in this episode and how, were it not for 4.19 and the closing scene of this finale, this would have been a mostly satisfying series finale, but we love season 5, so we are really glad that that wasn't the case. We also share some great feedback from Anna (not Torv), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you'd prefer), Isla, and Geoff (xforce11). We are taking a bit of a break before we enter the brave new world that is season 5, but we'll see you again on February 25, 2026 when we rewatch "Letters of Transit" (which we are treating as the season 5 premiere) together and March 4th when we record our discussion with Damon!

Having skipped "Letters of Transit" for now because we're treating it as the season 5 premiere, we are taking on "Worlds Apart" in this episode as Jones' plan to collapse the universes and create a new one comes to an apocalyptic climax.

Join us this week (once again just the two of us, no special guest) as we talk about "Everything in Its Right Place" - finally an episode centered on Lincoln!

We hope that you have fearless… auditory passages (?) because we are here to share a short story about love along with frequent feedbacker Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you'd prefer). This was such a fun episode to record especially since we love some aspects of this episode and not so much others.

It's just us this episode as we take on "Novation," Peter's first full episode this season. We reflect on some of the theories that we had back in the day about who was behind the Shapeshifters 2.0 (one of which was surprisingly quite… valid) and how we felt vs. now feel about Peter's (sort of) return to this timeline. We also get some amazing feedback from people like Polla, Vic, Geoff (xforce11), Rory, Anna (not Torv), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you prefer), Erin, ShelkyBean, and Patty from Canadia!
