FINALLY, FRINGE! Fringe season 3 begins on Thursday, September 23rd at 9pm on Fox. If you are not watching this show IT IS NOW TIME. Season openers are a good test for deciding if the show is for you, because they are usually written by show-runners and/or head writers, and Fringe is no exception. “Olivia,” the first episode of season three, was written by Fringe creators and sci-fi powerhouses J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman, and Roberto Orci (Star Trek). It is also a good time to check out the series since season openers generally do try to help out the newbies with a bit of extra explanation.
This is a spoiler-free zone, so if you want to see what has been going on in the show, get the DVD or BluRay sets. Season 2 was just released last week, and is a terrific collection. Season 1 has been out for almost a year, and is equally a treat. Both are highly recommended, whether or not you have seen the episodes before, since there is nothing like watching a show without having to fast-forward through commercials. The lack of interruption has an amazing effect on story presentation. The bonus features are alternately fascinating and hilarious, much like the show itself, and are great additions to the sets.
