I must say that I really enjoyed this weeks Episode of Fringe, I really like how they Handled Walter's Character, really gave him a lot of Depth about wanting to be more then he is right now, and reclaiming what he has lost. Really liking how Peter is getting much more in the action this season, and not stuck in the Lab assisting Walter. I like seeing them bump around in that old Station Wagon, just gives me a chuckle every time I see it in a scene.

[spoiler]That Giant worm that was being incubated in humans was sure creepy. The one swimming in the tank at Walters lab gave me the chills, really well done, looked almost real to me in its movements. I really like the aspect of Investigation peter brings to Olivia's cases, he see's things a bit differently and gets leads she might miss. They make a great investigating pair.[/spoiler]

Last weeks episode reminded me of something from an H.P Lovecraft story. Ich! I'm glad that Walter seems to be very slowly regaining his sanity. I'm looking foreward to seeing him as the man he was before the event which put him in the sanitarium. Also very much hoping to see more of Leonard Nimoy as William Bell and finding out his actual role in recent events.

I'm also enjoying this season and the recent episode.  They really are doing great stuff and I also like how they are handling Walter too and Peter this year.  Really a great series and I just wish the ratings were better.  They need to move it away from Thursday nights.

Woo-hoo!  Season three is a go!!

Fox has renewed 'Fringe' for a third season – terrific news, considering the bombshells the show has planned for the spring.

"'Fringe' tapped into a deep creative mine this year that built momentum throughout the season and helped give us our first real foothold on TV's most competitive night," Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly said of the Thursday-night drama. "The rest of this season is mind-blowing, and we can't wait to get started on the third installment of this amazing journey."

When 'Fringe' returns April 1 with an uninterrupted run of eight new episodes, Walter (played by John Noble) will flashback to 1985 as he reveals Peter's (Joshua Jackson) otherworldly origins to Olivia (Anna Torv). Plus, viewers will meet Peter's mother (guest star Orla Brady).

"We could not be more excited to continue the wild ride," says 'Fringe' cocreator J.J. Abrams. "We are grateful to Fox, and our viewers, for allowing this fun, mind-bending adventure to go on."

'Fringe' made its case for renewal by improving Fox's performance in the Thursdays-at-9 slot by 33 percent in total viewers. With 'Bones' as its lead-in, 'Fringe' helped boost Fox's Thursday average rating in the coveted 18-to-49 demo by 52 percent.

Good news! ;D. I was getting a little worried (not alot, just a little) that Fox wasn't going to give this series the time to grow that it really deserves.

I like this show better than X-files.

That is great news, my wife will be happy, as that is her favorite show this season.

Great news! It's one of my best shows!

This is such good news.  Fringe is a great show.

I liked this weeks episode. [spoiler]I've long been curious about the circumstances surrounding Peter's childhood. Also young Walter is VERY different from older Walter. This showed more of John Noble's skills as a character actor. Makes me wonder about what caused Walter to break down. Still just a really fun show. :thumbsup [/spoiler]

Yep, I remember, now that you mention it.

I think this might be the best episode of the series to date
[spoiler]My favorite thing about it is that Walter originally planned to cure Peter 2.0 but when the vial broke he needed to bring him back.  After that, he still planned on bringing Peter back into the other universe. It really changes our view on the situation.  We were lead to believe he had kidnapped him. 

The Back to the Future gag was CLASSIC!   

and of course the ultra-cool 80s opening.   Damn I love this series![/spoiler]

I just watched the recent episode and I absolutely loved it. I agree, I think the best episode of the series so far.

So I was watching the Two Towers last night on my new iPad, and I get to the first flashback scene in Gondor with Boromir and Faramir, and I was blown away to see Walter Bishop with crazy scraggly long hair playing their dad Denethor!  It was such a jarring moment because the actor does such a fantastic job in Fringe that I have a really hard time seeing anyone but Walter when I see that actor.  So weird, and I never put it together before then.
