Fringe watching
I am on season 4! Found a copy in a charity shop for £4, how could I resist. Random thoughts so far;
- Some of the ‘monster of the week’ stories are sometimes a little clunky, but the shows strength is its characters.
- If you’ve never seen the show and start with this season, good luck, I’ve no idea how it makes any sense to the uninitiated.
- I’m continually impressed by the actors ability to portray two versions of the same character. Faux’livia is so different from ‘our’ Olivia I sometime forget it’s the same actress.
- The episode where the other sides Astrid comes over to deal with the grief of loosing her father is absolutely heartbreaking. ‘Our’ Astrid copes rather well with not only seeing her other self but also one who has, though its never directly stated, some form of Aspergers syndrome.
- I’m developing a little crush on Lincoln Lee, our slightly awkward and overwhelmed version.
I’ve got season 5 in anticipation, but am rather disappointed that there’s only 13 episodes in it - I feel short changed half a season!
