Fringe team explores Chinatown to reveal a giant bioengineered hookworm smuggled using Chinese people as human incubator. The episode is filled with horrifying scenes, amazing dramatic performances and… subtitles. Sadly though even if it is such an awesome episode, you end up wondering what is the point of the episode… and yes, because it is a stand-alone.
In this episode, Fringe team investigates an unusual kidnapping involving a familiar creepy bald guy in a black suit. It was found out that there are more than one observers. As one of the observers broke the golden rule of not to get involve with humans, someone should pay the price. This episode got to be the most-hype episode of Fringe… but for me, it did not live up to the over hype and my expectation. Little questions were answered. More questions were raised. But nevertheless, it is enjoyable ride. We saw more of the observers. It’s a rare treat from Fringe.
The Fringe team investigates a kidnapping that led into discovery of a boy who has a capability of controlling other people’s actions using his mind. Further investigation unravels the connection of the mind-controlling boy with the Massive Dynamic. My personal take on this episode: Just an okay episode. A few questions had been answered, the episode teased the audience but the story did not move much.
In my previous, I reviewed the case of the latest episode of Bones, which is the Tough Man in the Tender Chicken. Bones is never complete when you don’t deal with character development and interaction. In this episode, Angela Montenegro got the spotlight. We saw her what she thinks about animal rights. We also found a new development on her celibacy. And finally we saw how Angie try to interact with the Squint Squad with her charming pig.
After the hiatus, Fringe came back with yet another stand-alone episode. Personally, I feel disappointed with it. It’s not a good come back episode, questions are not answered, no story continuity, unclear fringe science… and if you missed this episode, I dare say, you don’t miss much. In this episode, the team investigated a case of strange shadow entity stealing radiation from humans, killing them by turning them into ashes. Apparently, this is the same case handled by Broyles years ago, which caused his marriage. In the midst of this, we found out that things are bigger than we thought. CIA is involved. Russians has their own fringe case.
Woodchuck Scouts, sponsored by the Jeffersonian Institute, found a dead body floating in the Savage River. Preliminary investigation of Cam and Wendell revealed that that the victim is a middle-aged male with missing fingers and tissue samples has a high content of hydrogen sulfide. Wendell and Hodgins had a suspicion that the man could be an experimental subject of suspended animation. Angela’s facial reconstruction revealed that the victim looks like a half-man and half-chicken. In the autopsy room, Hodgins found a gapeworm in the victim’s neck, proving further that the victim might be a chicken super-soldier
