A perfect day for a palindrome, as well as the return of Fringe. I don't watch American Idol (as I have standards) and I'm afraid I jumped ship from CSI last season.
Like many of you , I was kinda thrown off by the episode because a certain character made a reappearance and for the life of me I thought I'd suffered a blow to the head because I was sure this character was never coming back.
However - many theories suggest that in fact this is an "alternate universe" episode, an allusion to David Robert Jones' cryptic message that there is more than one of everything (as opposed to the stance that this is an unaired one-off episode from Season One). More below.
Fringe S1E21, "Unearthed".
For the rest (as well as a nod to those who haven't seen this season and don't want to be spoiled) highlight the awesum InvisiText (TM)
I do love a good "back from the dead" episode, and anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that I get good and hot over ghosts, so staying interested for the entire hour wasn't hard (ahem) at all.
Fringe is asked to consult on a case involving a 17-year old girl who has miraculously returned from the dead, bringing with her a fluency in a Russina language, her first words giving his ranks, some codes, and calling for his "little star". (side note, if anyone ever called me their Little Star in Russian, I'd melt all over the place because I'm a sucker like that).
After the usual investigative teamwork, it's Walter who calls upon his previous work with the Fringe group in psychic phenomenon, and he believes the girl is harboring the ghost of a dead Navy man who has returned for a specific reason. When the true motive for the return of the man becomes clear (and it's generally right after Peter has his back turned), it's a quick-thinking Charlie (I know!) that saves the day
Charlie's reappearance sparked some chatter involving the idea of an Alternate Universe with some vague if nearly convincing data to back it up.
Lisa DOB was 1982, making the year 2000 (in the alternte universe) yet the Fringe group is together.
Charlie doesn't have his distinctive scar on his face (if you'll recall in the OtherVerse he had a scar), squashing the assumption that this is just an out of place episode - but if there's one thing the frothing masses forget - there is more than one Other.
By the way - if you want to preserve your sanity, stay off the Fox Fringe forums. It's hard to glean the shards of reason from the smelly foot of idiocy.
Whether this is a one-off episode aired out of order or JJ Abrams is messing with us, I enjoyed it. I'll run and see if I can find Walter's Lab Notes somewhere.
Oh, and this week, the Glyphs spelled out the word AVENGE - which if you've already seen the episode, you'll understand why.
