S5E14 An Enemy of Fate
This is the end, cortexifriends! This has been such a rewarding journey for us, and we have heard so many of your beautiful stories over the years sharing with us your appreciation not only for Fringe as a series but also for us as a podcast, and it's why we've done it. We kick things off with a...

S5E13 Liberty
We are now, in every sense (technically, literally, etc.), on the ultimate penultimate episode of Fringe as we bring you "Liberty" AND soon to be death of the podcast. We are joined by special guest Marianne once again as we discuss this amazing episode of the series and its parallels to previous...
-
S5E12 The Boy Must Live
We are truly nearing the end, cortexifans - so much so that you could make the argument that, even though this isn't the penultimate episode of our podcast, we are covering the penultimate episode of the series given the fact that 5.12 and 5.13 aired together the same night as a two-hour finale.…

S5E11 Anomaly XB-6783746
While Chris sadly couldn't make it to this episode, Darrell is joined by special guest Adam to discuss this emotionally heavy episode of Fringe as it winds down to its climax. With only three episodes remaining, Captain Windmark narrows in on the team after discovering that Michael (the titular...
-
S5E10 Black Blotter
Since the final season couldn't offer us a nineteenth episode due to being a 13-episode order, we get our whacky, out-of-the-box episode in the form of episode 9. After dropping acid that is the titular Black Blotter, Walter goes on a trippy journey into his past and revisits some old demons,...
-
S5E9 The Human Kind
Join us in welcoming Isla to the show for the first time covering this incredibly emotional gutpunch of an episode of Fringe! The three of us agree that while the episode has its weak spots, there are two scenes in particular that are very memorable, one of which being the beautiful tearjerker of…

S5E8 Five-Twenty-Ten
We are joined by Ynza for this episode of the podcast as we discuss this awesome episode of Fringe!

S5E6 An Origin Story
We are joined by Cory for this episode as we unpack yet another phenomenal, game-changing episode of Fringe! We talk about how much we love how emotionally poignant this aftermath of an episode is and how it is a great character study not only of the classic Fringe theme of what lengths someone...

This is such a pivotal episode of the season that pretty much sets the tone and the direction of the rest of the season, and we are so excited to be joined by frequent feedbacker Erin this week to take it on! We talk about how much we love this episode and touch upon scenes such as the reunion…

-
S5E1 Letters of Transit
Welcome back, cortexifans, to our fifth and final season! We are kicking things off a tad unconventionally by starting off season 5… with a season 4 episode! "Letters of Transit" was Fringe's whacky, out of the box 19th episode of season 4 and truly behaves as the backdoor premiere to season 5...
-
S4E22 Brave New World Part 2
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...

S4E21 Brave New World Part 1
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 -...

Nothing is as it seems this week because it's just the two of us - no special guest! We discuss the return of Porcupine Man from "The Transformation" and how we feel about how he is handled.

S4E15 A Short Story About Love

S4E11 Making Angels
We are joined by the GSM Podcasts legend Geoff (xforce11) this week as we discuss this myth-alone episode midway through season 4 - "Making Angels"! We love the interactions between the two Astrids as well as between Foelivia and Walter but also touch upon some minor issues with the writing. We...
-
S4E10 Forced Perspective
We are looking at this episode of Fringe from a forced perspective, but it's kind of nice that it's just the two of us for once! Even though this episode is mostly a standalone episode, it's still a really beautiful episode with a great wraparound. We share some excellent (as always) feedback…
more -

-
S4E5 Novation
It's just us this episode as we take on "Novation," Peter's first full episode this season. We reflect on some of the theories that we had back in the day about who was behind the Shapeshifters 2.0 (one of which was surprisingly quite… valid) and how we felt vs. now feel about Peter's (sort of)...
-
S4E4 Subject 9
Subject 9 is a pivotal episode of Fringe marking Peter's return to the timeline… sort of. We are joined once again this week by the awesome Anna (not Torv) and our discussions touch upon some of the new developments about this timeline revealed in this episode such as different relationships...

S3E17 Stowaway
We hope that you will stowaway with us on the Fringe train as we discuss this unique episode of Fringe - unique in that Anna Torv is not playing Olivia Dunham or an Olivia Dunham alternate but rather the man behind the curtain himself - William Bell (or Bellivia or Spolive as you prefer). We also...
-
S3E16 Os
Come float with us (we all float down here!) this episode as we discuss "Os" (Fringe episode 3.16), a (mostly) stand-alone episode in which a scientist tries to cure his son's physical disability using a combination of two rare, dense metals that, when administered together into the blood, makes...

S3E11 Reciprocity
Shapeshifters are back this week, but they have definitely met their match in a nocturnal vigilante none other than Peter Bishop! Join us this week as we take on "Reciprocity," an episode that we don't look back on as fondly as we remember because of the pieces of the mythology that are…
