Rare is the show that gets both me and my wife excited enough to not want to miss a single minute of a single episode. She bored quickly with Lost; I am so over Ghost Whisperer (the story has gotten more convoluted and ridiculous than Lost meets Twin Peaks). But Fringe is a must-see. By the time it has run its course, it may have taken the "Best Show Ever" title (in my opinion) from Lost and relegated Millennium to third place.
The season finale of Fringe did a remarkable job of tying up the majority of loose ends brought about in the first two seasons, while still leaving something to anticipate for next fall. While I let loose some spoilers the last two days in these posts, I will strive not to do so here...just because the show is so good that you must watch and be amazed.
Needless to say, the always-solid acting by Joshua Jackson, Anna Torv and the inimitable John Noble was and continues to be fantastic. We did get to see alternate-universe doppelgangers of Agent Dunham and Dr. Bishop as well as the final acting farewell of Leonard Nimoy (Live long and prosper, sir...you are one of the greats). Lance Reddick's Philip Broyles is always an imposing character, and does that man have a voice? He may be in line to take over all the voice-over work that James Earl Jones has been hogging the last 20 years!
So...what else can I say without spoiling any major plot points? Not much, unfortunately. If you haven't been caught by the Fringe hook, let me just recommend that you rent it from your favorite movie rental service or just buy the DVDs, because you will want to anyway.
