io9Listen to the Fringe cast’s real accents in this farewell video
If you’re still jonesing for more Fringe, consider this your last methadone shot — Fox just released this video of the cast saying goodbye (sometimes in their native Australian accents) to the fans. It probably would have made more sense for Fox to post this before January 18th, when the Fringe finale actually aired, but … Continued

io9TelevisionSo now we know what Fringe was really about, all this time
The producers of Fringe promised a couple years ago that there was a meaning to the show that they hadn’t fully shared with us, which we would understand when we saw the final episode. And after last night’s final showdown with the Observers, that meaning seems pretty clear: Fringe was a show about fatherhood, and … Continued

io9TelevisionWalter and Olivia form a support group for broken people, on Fringe
Last night’s Fringe was full of unspeakably random plot twists, but also full of beautiful character moments — especially this one, where Walter tries to bond with Olivia over being non-neurotypical. I won’t know for a while whether last night’s episode really made sense, but this moment and a few others will stick in my … Continued

io9TelevisionFringe gives us a series of Earth(s)-shattering decisions!
Wow. Fringe’s war between universes turned bloody last night. Both Walters decided to make some major sacrifices, and both Olivias faced some tough choices. Fringe is once again an epic drama.

io9Fringe gives us the mother of all creep-outs
Now that Fringe is miraculously renewed for a fourth phenomenal season, the show is back to blowing our minds. I counted four clever misdirections in last night’s episode. Actually, “Bloodline” could have felt ridiculously contrived — but unlike last week’s episode, Anna Torv totally sold this one, and once again it’s harder to know where … Continued

io9Did Fringe just serve up one crazy plot twist too many?
William Bell’s final message to Walter Bishop, earlier this year, was “Don’t be afraid to cross the line.” And now it seems like Bell has been taking his own advice, being all too willing to cross some huge ethical boundaries. Last night’s Fringe episode was one of my least favorite — but at least it … Continued

io9TelevisionIt’s official: Fringe is a beautiful, demented soap opera
Fringe keeps delivering the pain to its characters. This scene was agonizing to watch, especially with the look on Anna Torv’s face as she tries to get past this impossible situation, but she can’t. Poor Liv. And then it leads to one of the creepiest/tenderest scenes ever, which I honestly don’t know what to make … Continued
