The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Fringe, Season 4 (20011)

Starring: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble

Synopsis:
A division of the FBI, called the Fringe Division, investigates strange and unusual cases with the help of a brilliant scientist and his son.

Season 4 concentrates on the parallel universes working together to help stop the riff and eventual destruction of both worlds. Peter reemerges with no place in either time line and tries to figure out where he really belongs. And the "observers" continue to watch as an old nemesis of Fringe Division attempts to aid in the destruction of the all worlds.

My Take:
Season 4 got a little confusing for me. There is just too damn much to remember with the multiple timelines and universes and what roles each characters were playing in each. I started losing interest as felt like I needed cliff notes to keep up with the material.
The final third of the season got somewhat back on track and got me interested again. Especially from the episode set in the future through the season finales.
The series definitely has many interesting things to wrap up in the final season next year. I'll be interested to see the outcome.

Favorite Episode:
"Making Angels" - The always terrific Jasika Nicole was the star of this episode as the Astrid from both universes join forces to help the Fringe team try stop a deadly toxin.

Rating: In the middle (poor first half and solid second half)
