This Week in Fringe - 4/15/11

Fringe is back from its hiatus, and the concern is that William Bell needs to find a new host to embody, as Olivia's mind can't take much more before she is lost forever. So, the premise is that the gang will take some drugs, and enter her mind to find her. I'm ok with the premise, but what happens when they're there is pretty f'ing weird. I'm sure Jared will have much more to say on this topic.

Episode 19 - "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide"

Zach says: Anyways, Olivia's subconscious has fled inside her mind to hide, and it is up to Peter, Walter, and Bell to find her. Luckily, Peter actually cares for her so he has a plan on where she would go to hide. But, the episode gets weird. For SOME crazy reason, the world turns cartoony, and the live action goes away. Now, I would suspect this is due to the fact that Leonard Nimoy, who plays William Bell, has like, retired, so they can't use him, but needed him, and this was the best they could come up with. Ummm, ok. Fine. But then, there are zombies, and when Peter finds Olivia and they don't need Bell, it switches back to live action, but then they go outside where Bell is and it's cartoon again. Shit be crazy. I think the WRITERS were the ones on LSD. Oh, and they totally ripped off Inception.

But, they find Olivia and she escapes, and mostly all is well. Olivia even got to confront her personal demons, and seems to be a stronger person because of it, being completely confident now. She isn't even bothered by the fact that she thinks she knows who will kill her. Not sure how she would know the future, but hey, could be interesting in future episodes to see if this guy makes an appearance.
Zach's Score: 7/10

JDW says: I'm crossed. I want to love this episode, but I really hate this episode. While the Inception like premise was a little... unoriginal? The idea behind it was cool. But.. well the best way I can talk about this would be Pros and Cons.

The Pros: Holy shit, Leonard Nimoy is back! If you're like me, you probably thought Olivia's awful Nimoy impression was a bit overdone and stupid for a show like Fringe, and I'm glad they finally dropped it in order to bring Nimoy out of his retirement just to add his voice. And despite totally ripping off Inception and kind of being out of place, the premise was cool. And lastly, Broyles on LSD was just fantastic! It was great seeing Lance Reddick step out of his usually stern and cold acting style.

The Cons: ... Where do I even start? As Zach said, presumably the reason why they went animated for Nimoy's on-screen appearance was because he retired, and while he may have been willing to phone in his voice, he probably was not willing to come in and do full on acting. But there in lies the problem: do it well or don't do it at all. I get that TV shows can't get a theatrical budget, but there's no excuse that a show from Fox and Warner Bros., companies that spend over $3 Million per episode of their fully animated programming, should look this awful. Seriously, I've seen better TV animation from Xavier: Renegade Angel, and at least that show's fun to watch. But the animation here was just awful, the designs were awful, the actual character animation was awful, and logistically/stylistically it was completely out of place from the rest of the series.

When Nimoy signed off in last season's finale, it was a wonderful episode and a really great representation of an actor's finale on-screen appearance before retirement. But all this episode did was undo all of that wonderful experience and leave was presumably is actually Nimoy's last appearance on Fringe as something utterly gross. I think I'd off at least accepted the animation premise if the entire inner-mind world was like that and was in an appealing style, but as the way it was last night was just embarrassing for everyone involved and watching. I wanted to love this episode, because of Nimoy's return and Broyle's LSD moments, but I just can't with the awful animated sequences.
JDW's Score: 6/10

Overall Score: 6.5/10

This Week in Fringe - Season 2 Recap

With Lost over, and FlashForward canceled, there's just one American-made show left that we currently cover (as Doctor Who will always be a product of Britain and airs in America with a delay). And considering that Lost and FlashForward were collaborative between Zach and myself, that only leaves me to the TV reviews... anyways, here is my recap of Season 2 of Fringe.

Favorite Episode(s)
If I had to pick my favorite episodes based by highest score, I'd go with "August," "Peter," and "Over There (Part 2)". Surprise! They all scored a 9.5, although only one of them, "Peter," actually got a VFH Seal of Approval. But what made these episodes so good? Well, unlike all the episodes that score a 6 or 7 out of ten, these episodes actually stuck to Fringe's core storyline, had a lot to say, and did a fantastic job of presenting all of that information. In the case of "Peter," however, I really loved how they not only physically transformed John Noble into a young Walter, but how John Noble himself transformed the character and I'd be shocked if this man never gets a prestigious award for the talent he brings to this show.

What I Liked
Well, my argument with Fringe, and it comes up every time I try to recommend the series to someone, is that, when Fringe sticks to it's core storyline, it's the smartest, most brilliant thing on television, even more so than Lost, I think. But when it does it's one-off, monster/case of the week type episodes, it's dull, repetitive, and bothersome, and these types of episodes occur more often than I'd like sometimes... So, despite the four episode ignorance of the first season finale, the few but great episodes that stuck to the storyline this season were definitely some of the best things I've seen on TV in a long time.

What I Disliked
As I've said before, I've never been a big fan of the one-off episodes, but, when 4 one-off episodes air at the start of the season, completely ignoring Season 1's fantastic, William Bell introducing, otherworldly season finale, then I get pissed off. The amount of time spent on the show ignoring cliffhangers at the beginning of this season was completely absurd, and the worst way to handle cliffhangers on any show I've seen before. Also, what was the deal with airing "Unearthed," an unused Season One episode, on a Monday and calling it part of Season Two despite having Charlie in it, a character that already died earlier in the season. It was not only a bad episode, but it's inclusion just created confusion, hence why I called it Episode ? and didn't give it a proper number.

What's Next?
Well, I can only make assumptions here based what I say in the finale. With William Bell presumably dead (and Leonard Nimoy retiring from acting), I have a strong, but sad, feeling that we will no longer be seeing that character. And it's a shame because his mysteriousness was always intriguing and seeing Nimoy on screen, especially in his scenes with John Noble, was totally a treat, not just as a Star Trek fan, but because he brought so much to the mythology of Fringe. However, since I noticed he was in the trailer for the localization of Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, I'm curious how out of the question vocal guest appearances would be for Nimoy; i.e. Walter finds an audio-recording between himself and Bell that reveals answer Walter himself might not know otherwise. I think it would be a great way to keep the character's existance in the series going, without actually having Nimoy appear on-screen (considering they already used a CG version of him in "Brown Betty").

As for the Alternate-Olivia storyline, my hope is that with Season 3, they start out normal, hell, I'd be OK if they start out with some one-off episodes. But, obviously, she will have to feel very unfamiliar with the world, and hopefully after a few episodes, Walter and Peter realize she's the fraud and devise a way to re-enter the Alternate Universe to rescue the real Olivia from Walternate, which may result in the loss of Peter again.

Averaged Overall Season 2 Score: 8.1/10

Note: That number includes "Unearthed," despite it being a Season 1 leftover and being the lowest score episode this season. But it's actually more surprising, how the rare great 9/10 episodes even out with the frequent 6-7/10 not great episodes.

Fringe will return for its third season on Fox this fall. And, I may or not be writing alone again, it depends on whether or not Zach is willing to catch up with the series by then, because otherwise there doesn't seem to be anything else interesting on TV for us to review together this fall.

This Week in Fringe - 5/20/10

And so it arrives, the second season finale of Fringe, and probably more importantly, Leonard Nimoy's final on-screen acting appearance. Was this the proper send off for the legendary actor? And does this episode get me even more excited for Season Three? Let's find out... with SPOILERS!

Season 2 Finale: Episode 22 - "Over There (Part 2)"

As indicated by the title, this week's episode carries on right from where Part 1 left off, with Walter and Olivia already in the alternate universe; Walter is of course in the hospital after being shot, and Olivia is a fugitive looking for him, but luckily William Bell has showed up to assist her (finally!). Obviously there's a bigger situation here, what with the highly secure measures of this alternate universe, word soon travels to "Walternate" that a William Bell is in the hospital, and he sends alternate Olivia and Charlie after him while he and his recently returned son, Peter, discuss the blueprints for the device that would eventually eradicate the normal universe.

So for once we already have our set up and situation from the start, there's no lead up to some bigger case at hand, there's no monsters of the week, just pure story and character development, and it's great. But the star of this episode is definitely Leonard Nimoy as William Bell. Instead of his usual, elusive self, William gets a ton of screen time, as he should, because with Nimoy retiring, this was basically our last chance to really get to know him. I'd say about... 80% of the episode has Nimoy on screen, and every bit of it was freaking awesome! It was great to actually get to see him being a bit of a dick to Walter, and the interactions between the two of them were just brilliant. But it was even more awesome to see Nimoy being... well, awesome. He blew up a freaking truck!!! Not even Arnold Schwarzenegger gets to do that on a daily basis!

But sadly, William Bell's awesomeness comes to an end, and he sacrifices himself in a very Spock-like fashion; he even puts his right hand up, and I was just waiting for him to split his fingers and says "I have been and always shall be your friend," to Walter. He didn't, sadly, but it was a pretty shocking/heroic moment to see his character disintegrate before we ever really got to see him in the series. I'd of definitely loved to see more Walter/William episodes like this, but I suppose that's what will make this episode all the much more special.

As for the non-Nimoy parts of the episode, there's a lot to do with both Olivias trying to cope with the other's existence. And yes, annoyingly, our Olivia finally confesses her love for Peter, which may or may not make Season 3 suck a lot... which I'll get to in a bit. See, to get passed everyone, our Olivia disguises herself as the other Olivia, which seems to work quite well and the major threat of the episode (the Peter Doom Machine) seems to have been very nonthreatening after all. That is, until the final moments, when it's revealed that alternate Olivia actually came into our universe, and it turns our that Walternate is keeping our Olivia in captivity, the obvious story-arc for Season 3 being how Peter and Walter can get her back. This is a cliffhanger that the Fringe writers can't possibly ignore. Fall can't come soon enough.

Overall Score: 9.5/10

Yes, it's the same score I gave the VFH Seal of Approval winning episode, "Peter," and while this episode was just as great as that, there was something a bit more special about "Peter" when compared to the rest of the season that really made it stand out. "Over There (Part 2)" will definitely be one of my highlights of Fringe and not to mention Leonard Nimoy's career. But if you're wondering why there's no Seal for this episode, it's because as great as it may be, it comes after a string of great episodes, and in a sense feels slightly less special.

Stay tuned next week for a complete Season 2 recap!

This Week in Fringe - 5/13/10

A little late, but it's here! The first part of Fringe's second season finale has aired and I'm about to give you my thoughts. Can ya dig it?

Episode 21 - "Over There (Part 1)"

All the waiting and breaks have finally come to this, the (first part of the) Season Two finale of Fringe. I have to say, I was really disappointed with the show during the first half of the season, and I'm sure that was very apparent in my reviews, but ever since the show came back from its long hiatus it has been more/less consistently good, and actually sticking to the main story arc for once. And now that we've reached the season finale (not series finale mind you, it was recently renewed for a third season, which seemed doubtful before the hiatus) it can only get better I think, because if the first season is anything to go by, Fringe is not only at its best when it sticks to the main story arc, but it's also really great in the finale.

"Over There (Part 1)" opens up very interestingly, in the alternate universe, complete with a red version of the traditional Fringe opening titles. We see alternate versions of Olivia, Charlie, Astrid, Broyles, and see that the alternate Fringe Division is a full-fledged military force. They're investigating a recent hole in the universe, and it turns out it was cause by Walter, Olivia, and a few familiar faces... and then goes back 36 hours. In an effort to find Peter (who has been taken by "Walternate") Walter and Olivia both use their tips from the Observer to find a way into the alternate world, with the help of some reluctant "classmates" of Olivia's from the Jacksonville facility. Together, they and Walter manage to bring themselves across into the alternate world and cause a whole mess of issues for themselves and their alternate versions.

Meanwhile, Peter tries to reconnect with his long lost original Mother, and we learn that "Walternate" is the Secretary of Defense in the alternate universe, and needs Peter for a very peculiar machine. What I liked about this episode, and other ones that take place in the alternate universe, is noticing all the subtle differences in the world. There's stuff like buildings in New York City that were planned but never built in our world, stricter security methods, an actually bronze Statue of Liberty, Nixon on the silver dollar, and Martin Luther King Jr. on the $20 bill, plus dozens more things.

Oh, and William Bell (Leonard Nimoy!) finally shows up in person again, and considering I heard his voice this morning in Land of the Lost (which I just happened to turn on...) and was utterly shocked that he would've agreed to be in such a film, I was very pleased to see him back in pure awesomeness. And assuming that he appears in the second part of this finale, this will be Leonard Nimoy's final acting appearance, as he has finally retired from acting for good, which is sad, but hopefully it'll make next week's finale that much more special. We'll see!

Overall Score: 9/10

This Week in Fringe - 10/8/09

I was starting to lose faith in this show, keyword: was. I guess it was a good thing my hopes weren't up prior to watching this?... I may need to rethink that statement.

Episode 4 - "Momentum Deferred"

Is this it? Yes, it looks like, after three episodes this season, Fringe is finally going to focus on the events of Season One's awesome, but mysterious finale. Seems so, but that's not all, there also seems to be more of the "shape shifters" from this season's first episode, but now they're sporting mercury-like blood. So really, the episode finally bridges reveal of this season (fake Charlie and the shape shifters) with the reveal of last season's finale (William Bell and the alternate universe), and it's awesome long before it even ends.

So, if you can't tell by my tone in comparison to the three previous reviews this season, I am extremely pleased with this week's episode. I mean, now the season two premiere makes sense, I finally got to see Leonard Nimoy being awesome again, and overall the episode brought back that sense of overbearing mystery that this season had seemed to have been lacking. It's like, we were purposely given three bad episodes in order to make this one seem so much sweeter. The question now is, can the rest of the season hold up just as well?

Overall Score: 9/10

This Week in Fringe: 9/17/09

It's finally here, the second season of Fox's Fringe, and the start of a new This Week In feature. I may have only gotten into Fringe recently, but after finishing watching the entire first season last week, I was more then ready to get some more; especially after finally seeing Leonard Nimoy as William Bell. So, coming into this episode I was definitely excited to see more of the elusive Mr. Bell and find out more about this "alternate universe".

Episode 1 - "A New Day In The Old Town"

The episode opens up with a mysterious man fleeing from his crashed car, and then soon reveals that he can mold his face into that of others with the aid of small device. Later, from that same crash scene, agent Olivia Dunham returns by flying out the same windshield... weird, I know, but what else would you expect from Fringe?

The thing with this episode is that there's two stories running, you have the whole Olivia returns / Olivia is mildly crazy story, and then there's the face-changer who seems to have connections with the alternate universe. The problem is that the stories get separated a bit longer than they should, and end up feeling unimportant even when they're supposed to be.

Quite frankly, considering after the last season's great final two episodes, I was a bit disappointed with this season premiere. Nothing really seemed to happen, nothing from the first season finale was really explained, and overall this felt like it should be a lousy mid-season episode and not the season premiere. Maybe I'm just a bit annoyed that Leonard Nimoy didn't show up like I had hoped; but I really didn't find this "creature of the week" to be that interesting, and I know that Fringe has done and can do much better than this. There's always next week I guess...

Overall Score: 7/10

Also... This Week in Fringe

Yes, you read right! Despite the recent announcement for This Week in FlashForward, we will actually have two This Week In features every Thursday. Having just finished watching the entire first season of Fox's Fringe, which was created by Star Trek trio J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci, and Alex Kurtzman, I can safely say that I am more than excited to watch the new season starting on September 17th.

Of course with two weekly shows, eventually running into each other (FlashForward starts a week later in the same time slot), this means some sacrifices will need to be made. While the first week's review of Fringe will be online the night of, most likely all subsequent reviews will have to be delayed at least till Friday, as FlashForward was announced first.

Also, unlike This Week in Lost and FlashForward, This Week in Fringe will be reviewed solely by myself. I hope that won't discourage you from reading though. To say the least, after the final two episodes (Ep. 19 having a slew of Star Trek references, and the Season Finale revealing Leonard Nimoy as William Bell), I can't wait to see what happens next.

So, be sure to check VFH this Thursday night after Fringe, which airs at 8 PM EST on Fox, as the first segment of This Week in Fringe will be online! See you then!

Star Trek review

I've been writing about it for months, and waiting anxiously all this time, but the day has finally come! The J.J. Abrams directed film hoped to revitalize the public interest in Star Trek; does it do the franchise justice, or is all hope lost in space?

For those of you unfamiliar, J.J Abrams' Star Trek is the eleventh film in the Star Trek movie franchise, but re-imagines the characters of Gene Roddenberry's original television series. In actuality though, I don't think this is much of a spoiler, the film is a sequel to pretty much the entire Star Trek franchise in that the film's villains, Nero and his Romulan henchman, are from a future yet to be seen in the franchise, but one in which the original Spock, reprised by Leonard Nimoy, existed. The rest of the film however takes place in an alternate timeline from that of The Original Series and subsequent Star Trek films and shows, thanks in part to Nero's tamperings with time. So, for fans, all this is thankfully well explained and shouldn't really interfere with set stories and future films; but for new viewers it won't matter.

But, if anyone out there wants to read more into the character of Nero and his connection with Spock and Star Trek as a whole, you can pick up the film's prequel comic book, Star Trek Countdown, which not only connects Nero with J.J. Abrams' Star Trek, but Star Trek: The Next Generation as well. I haven't read it myself (though I have skimmed through it) but after seeing the film I certainly plan to pick it up now, if only to get a better understanding of the film and character.

As for the film itself, it centers mainly around the lives of James Tiberius Kirk (Christopher Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto); in fact they're really the only characters in the film with back stories explained, where as most everyone else gets a few spoken sentences regarding their past. Thankfully, because I found the child portrayals to be rather annoying, Star Trek takes a cue from Abrams' series, Lost, and "Three Years Later" appears on screen, putting all the past behind and jumping right into the story at Starfleet. The rest of the film follows the young Enterprise crew as they learn about one another as they try to defeat Nero; that's just really summing it up though, there's more too it but I'd hate to be the one to spoil it for you.

Personally, The Original Series is my favorite when it comes to anything Star Trek, so for me I was really interested to see how this new, young cast portrayed the characters I loved. To say the very least I was pleased, but why don't we go into some detail? When most people think of the original Star Trek, they usually think of the trinity of Kirk, Spock, and of course, Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy. Portrayed in the film by Karl Urban, I felt that his character was a nice emulation of the same one played by DeForest Kelly, but I don't think he was given the attention he deserved. Yes, the "I'm a doctor, not a ..." lines were intact, and that was nice, but I would have liked to see more of him, as McCoy was my personal favorite from the series. But, as stated before, the real focus is on Kirk and Spock, and both characters portrayals are pretty true to their original counter parts. Pine definitely offers a different side to Kirk than Shatner, but come later in the film, as the character develops, it's the start of the Kirk we've come to love. As for Spock, I don't think anyone could have portrayed him better than Quinto. He had the look, and the attitude, it was spot on and it was great.

As for the rest of the cast, Uhura (Zoë Saldana) was given more prominence this time around than in The Original Series, and the fact that she was marketed alongside Kirk, Spock, and Nero in promotional materials now makes more sense after seeing the film. Her performance is not ground breaking, but she doesn't ruin the already developed character, she just adds a little bit more to her. Then there's the forgotten ones, not forgotten in terms of no one liking them, but these guys just really have no attention or development in the film. I'm talking mainly about Pavel Chekov (Anton Yelchin) and Hikaru Sulu (John Cho), the former of which didn't even appear in The Original Series until its second season, so his inclusion now is a bit odd, but maybe it has to do with the whole "alternate timeline" aspect, but your guess is as good as mine. The character of Chekov is still comedic in his lack of being able to pronounce "v" but he really felt unnecessary; I also don't get why he has to have curly hair now but ... whatever. As for John Cho as Sulu, he gets his one scene in the spotlight and that's pretty much it for the film; and he doesn't have George Takei's voice, but then again, who does?

Lastly, Montgomery Scott (Simon Pegg), first off he doesn't even appear until much later in the film, and he really didn't seem to be the same Scotty that James Doohan played; once again you could bring up the "alternate timeline" aspect, but there definitely seemed to be something lacking from his character. Oh, and I can't forget Nero (Eric Bana); he's not the most memorable of Trek villains in terms of something that makes him unique, and there's really no compassion for the character, try as the writers might though. In the end he just works to drive the story along, and he obviously poses a threat, being that he is the sole causer of the alternate timeline. He's no Khan though, to say the least. Last note, Nimoy definitely stole the show me, to say the least, just thought you should know. (Trekgasm)

With the acting out of the way it's time to talk about the rest. One thing I noticed a lot, lense flares and awkward camera movement. Like, I don't think there's a two minute gap without some sort of flare effect; not that big of a deal, but it is noticeable. As for awkward camera angles, there's a few times where the image is literally on its side and then will twist and turn to set itself normal; once again not something that bothered me that much, but those prone to motion sickness may want a bag at hand. And then there's the soundtrack. The orchestrated pieces are brilliant, and the track that recreates the original theme gave me goosebumps in a good way. But there's one scene that used the Beastie Boys' track, "Sabotage", and it just seemed really out of place for the 23rd century.

Overall, J.J. Abrams and his crew, not to mention the cast, really have brought Star Trek to a new audience and generation. Not to mention that it's certainly the flashiest, most engaging, and even the most welcoming Trek film to date. The "alternate timeline" allows new viewers to get into the series, while Trekkies and casual fans will be able to sleep at night knowing their original characters are safe in their own timeline. Not that it's a bad thing, but time travel can cause a whole lot of continuity issues, so I was glad to see the writers figured out a way to get it done right. Let's just hope everyone else can agree that this crew is the right way to bring Star Trek back as well.

Overall Score: 9.3/10

J.J. Abrams' Star Trek just got cooler

I was going to post this earlier but I was busy moving back in my home, sorry. Couldn't forget this though ...

I don't think I need to say more, but if you want an explanation, Ain't It Cool News got themselves a special version of the new trailer for J.J. Abrams' Star Trek, and quite the treat was awaiting viewers at the end. I managed to get the screenshot for those of you that don't feel like watching. (Shame on you!)

Your welcome. "Live long and prosper"
