  • New Fringe Team

    6.5
    "Fair"
    By dreamgoat, Feb 06, 2012
    Boring episode, first time ever I fell asleep lucky i have tivo rewind back see what I missed. I didn't miss a thing, other than Lincoln having feeling for Olivia and vice versa. I really tired of this Lincoln thing they tried him in the alt universe with Bolivia and in this world. Peter is suppose to be a main character and he had 3 scenes in this show all about 3-5mins, while Lincoln is everywhere like Peter was. I don't know where this is heading but Peter really thinks he's from a different world, and quite frankly the way this is going I hoping it is so we can get back to the real and old Fringe team. This Fringe team seem inexperienced in the supernatural, Walter is awkward and distant and very cruel I hope they throw him back to st. claries. The sooner they listen to Peter the sooner they understand a lot of the stuff is going on, I surprise no one ask him of his world or how it's similar. They drag out common sense and its frustrating.moreless

    THe ending of this was unexpected and sublime.Kudos to the writers and actors. The ending where the man dies in the elevator after telling someone his name for the first time and having someone watch him was so apt. I really liked it.

    I just did not like this episode of Fringe very much. I won't go out and give it two thumbs down, but I found "U-Gene" to be a bit boring, and the special effects to be on the poor side, as opposed to the show's usual high quality. Not a strong supernatural event and not particularly great acting throughout the show tonight either.

  • Eugene Tooms re-boot??

    Am I the only person who saw the similarities between this episode and the creepy liver eating Eugene Tooms in the X files Episode Squeeze? No one else seems to have mentioned it and perhaps I am just biased - but as I watched it I was immediately reminded of that strange character and the suspense associated with that episode. Then when they said his name was Eugene ( U-gene) it just seemed like too much of a coincidence.....
    Anyway- this was a good episode- it had an element of horror and suspense to it that worked. I liked the stand alone aspect of it. The bigger story line of this season has been hard to follow- frankly I have not really kept up with it. I miss the interaction between Olivia and Peter and all the multiple layers with alternate universes and time travel just seem to muddy the waters....

    New Fringe case appears to be about a man with rear genetic disorder. Thisdisorder makes him extremely sensitive to the light but also makes him invisible. This man lived in the lab for the whole live until the fire gives him a chance to run away.
    Eugene(U-gene - unusual genetic - this is his name) was suffering because of loneliness because nobody could see him and he wanted to be like every body else. And he tries to solve his problem by suckingpigments from people and making a bath with them(I mean pigments).
    Eugene's story remind Olivia that he was also test subject for Cortexiphan. And she has a thought that something maybe wrong with her because of that. That's why she has social or intimate relationships.
    And in the end appears that Olivia is still test subject.
    There are many questions after this episode:
    Is that Cortexiphan what Olivia was given? What consequences is this lead to?
    If there were such promising research for decades where are the invisible soldiers and machinery? I'm talking about chameleon skin.
    Why does Peter encourageLincoln in relationships with Olivia?moreless

    • Peter: You got to love this assignment, right, Tim? Where else can you find baked goods, car parts, and video games, all under the same roof?
      Agent Tim: Yes, sir.
      Peter: "Sir"? I'm moving up in the world. Did Broyles tell you to call me that? Keep that level of formality, that way you don't get attached to your prisoner?
      Agent Tim: You're not my prisoner.
      Peter: So, what, then, you're my bodyguard?
      Agent Tim: Maybe just imagine I'm a friend.
      Peter: Yeah, because every 32-year-old man needs a friend to chaperone him while he's underwear shopping
      Agent Tim: You know what, that reminds me. Uh, Agent Broyles told me to tell you that he has authorized you $200 a week allowance.
      Peter: Two hundred, big spender.

    • Astrid: What, are you saying that he was scared to death? Walter, that's just an old wives' tale.
      Walter: Where's your imagination? You must have been a very boring child.
      Astrid: I'm ignoring that.

    • Astrid: Hey, Walter, why did we just get a bill for $818? You know I'm going to be the one to take the blame for this.
      Walter: Tell Agent Broyles... science has no price tag.
      Astrid: I'm sure he'll be very pleased to hear that.

    • Olivia: Walter, do you think that Eugene is trying to make himself visible? That he is killing people in order to steal their pigment?
      Lincoln: Is that even possible?
      Walter: It's possible, of course. Leprechauns are possible.

    • Walter: I spent the last few hour recreating what we believe our young man is doing to himself. And assuming you're right, Olivia, and he's trying to repigmentize himself... is that a word? "Repigmentize"?

    • Eugene: All my life, I've been watching them live theirs. Watching them fall in love. To be looked upon by the right person. To connect. And to see in their eyes kindness. Happiness. And... recognition. that's when you exist.

    • Olivia: I guess we can put this case on the list of things that makes it hard for you to sleep.
      Lincoln: That list is getting longer.
