The team is called in to investigate a bank robbery when one of the thieves is found embedded in a solid wall. Walter believes they're after something of his, but things take a turn for the worse when the thieves ambush one of them.
Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)So initially we see the equation from the last episode being used, I liked the fact that they already put it to use, good start to the episode. This episode finally starts to talk about some of the things that have been in past episode and slowly starts to put them together. This was an awesome episode, and it was nice to see the good guys finally figuring out what is going down, even if what they know is not nearly the whole picture. This episode really ends with a bang, and a good one at that. An amazing episode, the best so far!
I liked the direction the previous episode went. Story moving forward, not episodic and a good cliffhanger. Definitely a sign of things to come.
I expected a lot from Safe, mainly cause fans consider it as superb. I wasn`t disappointed. So far fringe has been OK..good but not great, I was not very impressed. With this episode, Fringe finally set the bar higher.
This episode had so much going on. Guess Jones will be the big villain now. I`m glad cause he looks great.
More mysteries, some cool revelations, a great storyline, some nice sweet/funny moments for the characters, good pacing.. superb. The ending is great too, didn`t want it to end which is a first time for me as far as fringe is concerned. Best thing is that I feel the best is yet to come.
Well this was a turn up for the books, wasn't it? hide show
Well this was a turn up for the books, wasn't it? Olivia abducted, Mr. Jones out of prison, Walter Bishop in lack of kooky one liners shocker... Fringe really pulled out all the stops in its last episode before the Christmas break in an attempt to keep us all suitably perched on the edge of seats for the next run and boy, did it succeed. Goodman and Cahill's script is positively brimming with hair-pullingly frustrating enigmas: from the question of what purpose it serves to abduct Ms Dunham to the big fat "WTF??!!" regarding the component parts of the device that Bishop invented and its apparent ability to, um, beam people and things from one space to another, rather like, you know, the transporters in Star Trek. Yup, any semblance of believability in the show's science has finally been well and truly discarded, but that doesn't seem to matter anyway; from the beginning, Fringe only ever engaged in a casual dalliance with scientific realism and, ultimately, it's the more outright bizarre moments that have proven to be the most memorable and, indeed, enjoyable. 'Safe' works beautifully as a result of this, keeping its audience just the right side of baffled, bemused and bewildered in order to generate intrigue and a desire for more. Kinda like that other little show that J.J. Abrams created. Back in a week or so, there's a plane in it and some black smoke... you know the one.
Extremely well plotted! (only spoilers in this review are from earlier episodes) hide show
What fascinates me about Fringe, is how that in every episode, we are shown something so weird that i raise my brows every single episode. But in the end of the episode, it actually makes sense. Like the episode with the guy who drew the future. I just thought to myself: How the heck are they going to explain THIS?!
But it made sense, i don't think anyone in the real world could do the same, but it made sense!
My point is, in this episode we see something so insane that it just can't make sense(possible surprise for next episode?), but i accepted it because of the insane plot that ties so many things together in such an awesome way! I just... WOW! By far the best episode from this show yet!
This was by far the best episode of Fringe yet! it was a very clever episode and very well put together, the links to past episodes was awesome and cleared up some questions that we have been wanting to know, but also gave us a few more to keep us going!
Walter is such a great character, very funny at times, and some of the things he says crack me up, yet he says them so innocently! Joshua Jackson's character just keeps getting better and better, its good to see him in a good show!
I am looking forward to the next episode 'Bound' on the 20th January to see where the show goes, i hope the next episode is of as good standard as this, as this is turning out to be a great show and every episode gets better!
