The Fringe Podcast Rewatch

We are ringing in 2026 with our discussion of the Fringe season 4 finale! We discuss the powerful character moments and great performances from some of the cast in this episode and how, were it not for 4.19 and the closing scene of this finale, this would have been a mostly satisfying series finale, but we love season 5, so we are really glad that that wasn't the case. We also share some great feedback from Anna (not Torv), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you'd prefer), Isla, and Geoff (xforce11). We are taking a bit of a break before we enter the brave new world that is season 5, but we'll see you again on February 25, 2026 when we rewatch "Letters of Transit" (which we are treating as the season 5 premiere) together and March 4th when we record our discussion with Damon!   Links Mentioned: The Fringe Podcast Episode 0449 - "Brave New World Part 2" The Fringe Podcast Episode 0450 - Feedback for "Brave New World Part 2" The Fringe Podcast Episode 0451 - Second Feedback for "Brave New World Part 2" Fringe Connections - "Brave New World (Part 2)" Fringe Matters - "Fringe - 'Brave New World' (Part 2) (4.22) - Season Finale" The Fringemunks - "Epis. 4.21: Brave New World, Part 2" Fringe Playlist by Chris Connect with Us: Golden Spiral Media Community Portal Golden Spiral Media's Twitter Page The Fringe Podcast Rewatch's Instagram Page Listener Feedback Webpage Join Our Live Show!

We are discussing part of the Fringe season 4 finale this episode which sees the return of William Bell! We talk about how much we love Walter's and Astrid's connection in this episode and were initially shocked by the cliffhanger. We also share some great feedback from listeners waffling on - listeners such as ShelkyBean, Geoff (xorce11), Anna (not Torv), and Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you'd prefer). Next up is the second half of the finale, so be sure to reach out to us with your thoughts!

Having skipped "Letters of Transit" for now because we're treating it as the season 5 premiere, we are taking on "Worlds Apart" in this episode as Jones' plan to collapse the universes and create a new one comes to an apocalyptic climax. We discuss the wonderful character moments in this episode, especially the great conversations between the two Walters and the two Olivias, and we get some phenomenal feedback from feedbackers like ShelkyBean, Geoff (xforce11), Anna (not Torv), and Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you'd prefer). Next up is the first half of the season 4 finale - "Worlds Apart" - so if you have any thoughts that you would like to share with us about that episode, be sure to send us some feedback!   Links Mentioned: The Fringe Podcast Episode 0445 - "Worlds Apart" The Fringe Podcast Episode 0446 - Feedback for "Worlds Apart" Stream Fringe Theme Song (Paranoid MX Edit) by TripMX Fringe Connections - "Worlds Apart" Fringe Matters - "Fringe - 'Worlds Apart' (4.20)" The Fringemunks - "Epis. 4.20: Worlds Apart" Fringe Playlist by Chris Connect with Us: Golden Spiral Media Community Portal Golden Spiral Media's Twitter Page The Fringe Podcast Rewatch's Instagram Page Listener Feedback Webpage Join Our Live Show!

We are joined by a very special consultant of our own this week, returning guest Marianne! We discuss this episode and various aspects that we really like, especially the great character development that we get from characters such as Foelivia (even though she isn't really a foe anymore), Walter, and Colonel Broyles, and we share some great thoughts from feedbackers like Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you'd prefer), Anna (not Torv), ShelkyBean, and Laura! Remember that we are strategically skipping "Letters of Transit" for now and treating it as the backdoor season 5 premiere that it is, so next up is "Worlds Apart" when we will possibly be joined by Damon! Until then, we would love to hear your thoughts, so please feel free to send us your feedback!   Links Mentioned: The Fringe Podcast Episode 0441 - "The Consultant" The Fringe Podcast Episode 0442 - Feedback for "The Consultant" Stream Fringe Theme Acoustic Cover by Elias Cantu Fringe Connections - "The Consultant" Fringe Matters - "Fringe - 'The Consultant' (4.18)" The Fringemunks - "Epis. 4.18: The Consultant" Fringe Playlist by Chris Connect with Us: Golden Spiral Media Community Portal Golden Spiral Media's Twitter Page The Fringe Podcast Rewatch's Instagram Page Listener Feedback Webpage Join Our Live Show!

Join us this week (once again just the two of us, no special guest) as we talk about "Everything in Its Right Place" - finally an episode centered on Lincoln! We discuss how the theme of the episode is centered around Lincoln searching for belonging, a struggle that he has been experiencing for several episodes now. We also touch upon aspects of the episode such as the healing between the two universes and the differences between the two Lincolns, and we, as always, share some wonderful feedback from several listeners. Stay tuned to hear from Geoff (xforce11), Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you'd prefer), Anna (not Torv), ShelkyBean, and Patty from Canadia! Next up is "The Consultant" when we will be joined by returning guest Marianne!
