List of Fringe episodes

The second season of the American science fiction television series Frin ge commenc ed airing on the Fox network

on September 17, 2009, and concluded on May 20, 2010. The season was produced by Bad Robot Productions in

association with Warner Bros. Television, and its showrunners were Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman. Actors Anna

Torv, John Noble, and Joshua Jackson reprised their roles as FBI agent Olivia Dunham and father-son duo Peter and

Walter Bishop. Previous series regulars Lance Reddick, Jasika Nicole, Blair Brown, and Kirk Acevedo also returned,

though with Acevedo in a limited capacity.

The season followed the continuation of a war between two universes, the prime and the parallel. It was set in the

former, until the last several episodes when Peter Bishop (Jackson) journeyed back to the parallel universe afterbeing lured there by his real father, "Walternate" (Noble). While co-creator J.J . Abrams descr ibed the first season as

"identifying that there is an enemy", he referred to season two as "gettin g to know th e enemy" as it "build[s] to a

very specific type of confrontation" between the two universes. [1] The writers focused on their characters'

development, in particular making them more comfortable with each other while solving cases for Fringe Division.

By inventing the "mythalone" style of episode, the producers sought to create the perfect episode that mixed

standalone episode qualities for casual viewers with the further development of the series' mythology for regular

viewers.

In a departure from the previous season, the second season aired in a new competitive timeslot at 9:00 pm on

Thursdays. It contained 22 episodes, plus an unaired episode that was produced during the first season; "Unearthed"

aired as a special as episode 11 of season two, days prior to "Johari Window", the first new episode of 2010. Also

part of the season was the series' only musical episode, "Brown Betty", which was produced at the request of the

network. The season finale, "Over There", fully introduced the parallel universe and laid the groundwork for the

third season.

Fringe ended its second season with a per episode average of 6.252 million total viewers and a 2.3 ratings share in

the 18 € 49 demographic. The season was generally well-received by critics, though most agreed that the second half

was a considerable improvement over the first. The series was chosen for a number of 2010 "best of television" lists,

including The New York Times , the Seattle Post-Intelligencer , and Entertainment Weekly . Despite its critical acclaim, Fringe failed to earn any major category nominations at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards, but did receive

nominations at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, Golden Reel Awards, and Satellite Awards; at the Saturn Awards,

Torv and guest actor Leonard Nimoy won in their respective categories. The second season was released on DVD

and Blu-ray in region 1 on September 14, 2010, in region 2 on September 27, and in region 4 on November 10.

Season summaryOlivia, having been taken to William Bell's office in the parallel universe, is returned to the prime universe but with

short term amnesia, unable to recall her experience there. Massive Dynamic's Nina Sharp directs her to Sam Weiss, a

bowling alley manager, who gives her cryptic but helpful advice to overcome her amnesia. Meanwhile, the Fringe

division has discovered several shapeshifters - a human/machine hybrid that bleed mercury - have crossed over, but

unbeknownst to them, one takes the form of Olivia's partner, Charlie. When Sam's advice allows Olivia to recall

what Bell told her, she unwittingly gives this information to the shapeshifter, who calls its agents to use the

information to recover the body of Thomas Jerome Newton, an agent for some entity operating from the parallel

universe. Nina provides Olivia with cautionary advice, alerting her to a "great war" that Bell postulated would occur

between the two universes. During this time, Peter has come to forgive Walter for his past, and Walter has grown

accustomed to normal life outside of the institution, but is still troubled by a secret.

Newton, using old technology from Walter and Bell's research, is able to pull an entire building from the parallel

universe to the prime, and the team races against time to prevent harm when, due to the laws of mass conservation, a

building from the prime is pulled to the parallel one. This event forces Walter to try to coax Olivia to recall herCortexiphan abilities as to identify things affected by the parallel universe. Initially unable to do so, her fear of

failure enables her ability, allowing them to save the people within the target building, but also revealing to her that

Peter is from the parallel universe. Walter explains to Olivia that in 1985, he and Bell had devised a way to observe

the parallel universe, where he found his doppleganger, "Walternate", was also close to losing his son. Though

Walter's Peter had died, Walternate continued to search for a cure, but missed the telltale sign when the Observer

September arrived at his lab. Walter resynthesized the cure and aimed to cross over using untested equipment at

Reiden Lake, though stalled by Nina and his lab assistant Clara. Nina tackled him on his way over, losing her arm in

the process, while Walter, on the other side, found the cure vial broken. Intent on curing the alternate Peter, he posed

as his father and crossed back with Peter, intending to administer the cure at the lab and then return Peter. However,

on the return, the ice on Reiden Lake broke, threatening to drown both, but they were saved by September, whocautioned Walter "the boy must live". While Walter successfully administered the cure, his wife Elizabeth saw Peter,

and Walter realized he could never return Peter to the parallel universe. After Walter reveals this truth, he considers

letting Peter know but struggles with how to do so, hoping to seek repentance from God for his actions.

Meanwhile, Newton has continued to use Walter's technology to bring into temporary existence elements from the

parallel universe. This enables Newton and his agents to bring over a figure known as "Mr. Secretary", despite

Fringe's attempts to stop them. Peter, from this action, deduces that he is from the parallel universe, and furious at

Walter for hiding this information, leaves on his own. While hiding in the Pacific Northwest, Peter meets Mr.

Secretary - Walternate, his true father, who offers to take him back to the parallel universe, which Peter accepts.

Olivia and Walter are alerted by September that Walternate plans to use Peter to initiate the operation of a strange

device that threatens to destroy the prime universe, and the two launch a rescue attempt. In the parallel universe, theyfind that it suffers from singularities caused by Walter's crossing in 1985, forcing Walternate's Fringe team to use an

amber-like substance to surround and quarantine such areas, regardless of innocent lives trapped within. They meet

with William Bell, and Walter and Bell resolve their past differences. Olivia faces off against her doppleganger,

"Fauxlivia", who works for Walternate in the Fringe Division under the U.S. Secretary of Defense; she is able to

recover Peter, who has seen the device and recognized that it reacted only to his biology, and wants nothing of it,

willing to return with the others. As Olivia, Walter, and Peter attempt to return, they are engaged by Fauxlivia and

others in the Fringe Division. Bell sacrifices himself to provide energy into a device to allow the three to cross over,

but none of them are aware that Fauxlivia has secretly switched places with Olivia under Walternate's orders, while

Olivia is captured and held in a secured facility by Walternate.

Walternate visits her, staring at her before leaving her in solitary confinement.

Development

Crew

Jeff Pinkner (left) and J.H. Wyman (right) returned as showrunners and executive producers of Fringe .

The season was produced by Bad Robot Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. [25][] Though still

set in Boston, the show's production for the second season moved from New York City to Vancouver out of financial

necessity, as it lost access to New York's TV production tax incentive program.[26][27]

Fringe consequently got amostly new writing staff and production team, though co-creators J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci, and Alex Kurtzman,

Fringe (season 2) 8

and producer Bryan Burk remained involved with the series. [] Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman returned as executive

producers and showrunners. [][28] Jeff Vlaming and previous episode director Akiva Goldsman joined the crew as

consulting producers. [][29] While Abrams had six episode writing credits for the first season he remained much more

hands-off for the second, instead focusing on other commitments like the film Star Trek .[] He explained, "Sometimes

we'll talk every day. Then there will be a period of a couple weeks where we don't speak. But we're emailing a lot.

There's a lot of stuff that happens that way." [30] Eden FX and Zoic Studios stayed as vendors for the series' visual

effects, effectively giving Fringe a sense of continuity. Jay Worth, the overall visual effects supervisor, commented

that having these two companies "helped the show not feel as a big of a bump from one season to the next,

particularly with different crews and a different vibe a little bit." [] Despite his decreased involvement, Abrams was

sent all of the visual effects for the series during production, and responded back with notes and tweaks. [30]

Writing and filming

Responding to criticism that some first season episodes were too neatly wrapped and solved, Jeff Pinkner

commented towards the end of that season, "We found that, absolutely, early on, we were falling into the trap

of ƒ the tease would be fantastic. And then we would too quickly answer it and [reduce] the tension. And we've tried

to course-correct and have the tease promise" questions that don't get answered right away.[]

He further elaboratedthat the goal now is to "have the energy of the show get bigger as [an episode] goes along... We're learning how to

tell this version of a detective story. It's not really a police procedural. There are elements of that. But it's an

incredible mish-mash of genres. I think we're getting better at finding our way through these stories." [] In striving to

explore the "human condition", Pinkner and Wyman thought the science fiction genre allowed them "fantastic

stor[y]" opportunities "that no one else can touch", specifically with storylines touching upon morality, right and

wrong, the limits and dangers of knowledge, religion, science versus human actions, as well as the question "where

are we going as a people and a society?" [] Wyman called the series "the quintessential kidnapping story", while

Pinkner believed it to be "a family drama masquerading as a sort of quasi-science fiction procedural show". []

"In this season we're really looking to get deeper into our characters and have people really participate with them and watch their

evolution, whether it's Walter's emancipation this season and how he's having more of his own awakening. Whether it's Peter in

discovering things about himself and about the others he works with and his place in the world. And Olivia the same regard."

€ J.H. Wyman []

Pinkner, Abrams, Orci, Burk, Kurtzman, Wyman, and Goldsman developed the second season's storyline together. []

Goldsman explained that they "mapped" out the season "in a way that we remained fundamentally faithful to". []

Though they changed certain aspects, they knew where Olivia and Peter were going to start and end up but "got there

at different paces than what [they] originally planned". [] While the first season both focused on Olivia [] and dealt

with discovering the existence of an enemy, the second was designed to "[build] to a very specific type of

confrontation" between the two universes. [31] Explained Pinkner, "Season 2 is about the people from 'over there'

putting the final pieces of the invasion into play, and explaining why".[]

At the same time, the producers approachedthe second season as a "journey of self-actualization" [] and "maturation for our characters." [] They wanted to make

the three main cast members become more comfortable as a team in Fringe Division; Peter thus was written to be

more heroic and to go from reluctance to a desire to help his father, while Walter became gradually more

independent and "grounded as a human being". [][] They made the secret of Peter's origins one of the main story

focuses of the season. While the audience had been made aware of Walter's secret in the season one finale, the

producers wanted to "acknowledge it to our characters". [] All the while Walter was "suffering... and desperately

trying to keep it all quiet", Olivia and Peter grew closer to the truth. By "giv[ing] these things time" to develop,

Pinkner strove to avoid focusing just on "event, event, event", instead concentrating on the real consequences of

Peter and Olivia's eventual discovery. []

The second season's mythology was intended to be revealed in small parcels. [] Throughout the season, Pinkner andWyman tried to create an episode that best bridged "standalone" traits ƒ needed for casual viewers ƒ with the further

8/13/2019 Fringe (Season 2)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/fringe-season-2 9/13

Fringe (season 2) 9

advancement o f the show's mythology fo r those who watched regularly. At the start of th e season Pinkner believed

they had found a "good rhythm" between t he two, as the mythology "really [started to] af fect the characters, to the

point where even the standalone [ episodes] adva nce mythology". [] After the season ende d, Wyman commented at

San Diego Comic-Con International, "We l earned that the fan fans love mythology but there are needs from the

networks. We s tarted experim enting with a thing we called 'mythalones', not stand alon e or myth." [] Wyman cited th e

season's 18th e pisode, " White Tulip" as a prime example, noting "You can see that you're following Walter's

journey, it's the right mix." [] The Fringe producers strove to avoid becoming bogged down in mythology, an issue

that they perceived happened in Alias , another J.J. Abrams television series. Pinkner explained, "What's fun for us is

we're world building and fleshing out a universe, but at the same time the mythology is not that complicated at all.

It's an abduction, an adoption [...] And anybody can relate. We're just telling it through this unique set of

circumstances". [] In a joint statement released midway through the season, Abrams, Pinkner, and Wyman noted that

their "only internal rule is that we make every effort to not raise mythological questions merely to string viewers

along, but rather to provide answers that generate consequences." [32]

At Fox's request, the writers developed a musical episode, "Brown Betty" to fit into t he network's "Fox rocks"

campaign in th e same vein as its series Glee .[33][][] While the episode already had mo st of the necessa ry elements i n

place before F ox's reque st, the producers were able to add the musical theme as a "narrative device" to "exploreWalter's feelings" in the aftermath of Peter's discovery and flight. [34] To prepare for the season finale, the producers

began developing characteristics of the parallel universe relatively early on. Relating to the two universes'

idiosyncrasies, Pinkner and Wyman were both interested in world building and "the concept of choices", such as the

differing events that led to the Other Side possessing a still-standing World Trade Center but destroyed White

House. [][] Other historical idiosyncrasies included the oxidation of the Statue of Liberty and the use of zeppelins as

transportation. [][] They believed that all of their additions were "the texture that actually makes it a world. The

richness of detail is what makes it feel real". []

As the series began filming in Vancouver, the University of British Columbia campus served as a substitute for

Harvard University. [35] Because of its heritage buildings and antique storefronts, many of the scenes set in the

alternate universe were shot in New Westminster, an area outside Vancouver. [36] Consulting producer and previous Fringe director Akiva Goldsman returned to direct several episodes, as did producer Brad Anderson, executive

producer Joe Chappelle, and producer Paul Edwards. One time guest directors for the season included Bryan

Spicer, [] Jon Cassar, [] Dennis Smith, [] Paul Holahan, [] Jeannot Szwarc, [37] Frederick E. O. Toye, [38] Deran Sarafian, []

Adam Davidson, [] Charles Beeson, [39] David Straiton, [] Thomas Yatsko, [40] Jeffrey Hunt, [41] and Seith Mann. [42]

Cast

Guest actor Leonard Nimoy appeared in four

episodes in the second season.

As with the previous season, the second season featured three main

characters all working together to solve various Fringe cases. Anna

Torv played determined FBI agent Olivia Dunham, who is able totravel between universes as a result of childhood experiments

performed on her with the nootropic drug, Cortexiphan. The man

responsible for these experiments, Dr. Walter Bishop, was played by

John Noble. Walter's son Peter Bishop, whom he stole from the parallel

universe, was portrayed by Joshua Jackson. [][43] Other members of the

main cast included Jasika Nicole as Junior FBI Agent and Walter's lab

assistant Astrid Farnsworth, Lance Reddick as Agent Phillip Broyles,

Blair Brown as Massive Dynamic executive Nina Sharp, and Kirk

Acevedo as Agent Charlie Francis. [44] Acevedo's character was killed

off in the season's fourth episode, though at the time Pinkner and Wyman hinted of the actor's possible return later in

the season. [45] Acevedo returned to guest star in the season finale as the parallel universe version of Charlie

Francis. [46] Acevedo was also featured in "Unearthed", a special episode that was filmed during the first season, [47]

but aired as the eleventh episode of the second season. [48]

The second season marked a large number of recurring guest appearances. Michael Cerveri s played Septemb er/The

Observer, a m ysterious man that observes important events and appeared in every episode of the season, oftenmerely in brief glimpses. [49] Further Observers were revealed, including August (Peter Woodward) [] and December

(Eugene Lipinski). [50] Ryan McDonald portrayed Massive Dynamic scientist Brandon Fayette, [51][52] while its

founder, Dr. William Bell was played by Leonard Nimoy, despite the actor's recent retirement. [53] agreed to guest

star in the season premiere as well. [54] According to Jeff Pinkner, "We had a story for William that we got to tell.

Leonard has retired twice, he's our Bret Farve [ sic ]. We had him in and talked him through where we wa nted it to

end in season t wo and he sai d 'ok, I'll come back.' He was so unbelievably gracious. [The role] was not created with

him in mind but it was the perfect mix. He was nervous that we just wanted him for promotional reasons but we

wanted to give him a swan song role." []</ref> [55][56] Thomas Jerome Newton, one of the season's main villains, was

played by Sebastian Roch•. Kevin Corrigan portrayed Samuel Weiss, a mysterious man who helps Olivia recover

from her injuries.[57][58]

Ari Graynor appeared as Olivia 's sist er Rachel Dunham,[59]

while Lily Pilblad playedRachel's daughter and Olivia's niece Ella Blake. [60][61] Orla Brady played Walter's wife Elizabeth Bishop. [62] A new

FBI agent, Amy Jessup, was portrayed by Meghan Markle. [63] Roger Cross appeared as a shapeshifter. Former

Cortexiphan subjects James Heath and Nick Lane were played by Omar Metwally and David Call, respectively.

Karen Holness appeared as Broyles' ex-wife Diane, [64] and Clark Middleton played rare book seller Edward

Markham. [65] Philip Winchester appeared as Fauxlivia's boyfriend Frank Stanton, [66][67] while Seth Gabel played

Agent Lincoln Lee from the parallel universe, both in the finale. [68] J. R. Bourne played Agent Edwards, and Gerard

Plunkett appeared as Senator James Van Horn. []

Reception

Ratings and broadcast

Fringe 's first season ended with an average of 9.96 million viewers, [74] and among the season's new series, it was the

first rated show for adults 18 € 49. [][][75] On May 4, 2009, a week before the season one finale, Fox renewed Fringe

for a second season, giving it a full season pick-up of 22 episodes. [76] The network's president of entertainment,

Kevin Reilly, explained " Fringe proved to be a notable addition to our schedule all season and it really has fansbuzzing as it builds to a fantastic season finale." [][]

Later in May, Fox announced Fringe would be moving from Tuesdays to Thursdays for the second season, to be

aired in the competitive 9:00 pm timeslot. [77][] Kevin Reilly explained the move, "The door is more open on this

night than it has been in a long time. Fringe is a re al alte rnative to both [ Grey's and CSI: Crime Scene

Investigation ]." [] However, after a perceived "healthy" first season, [] the second season premiere was watched by an

estimated 7.817 million viewers. [78] Ratings for the season continued to decline, culminating in 5.68 million viewers

watching the finale. [] Fringe 's second season ended with an average of 6.252 million viewers per episode and a 2.3

ratings share for adults 18 € 49, causing the series to finish in 79th place out of all the season's network television

shows. [79] However, Fringe and its lead-in, Bones , did help the network increase 52% among adults aged 18 € 49 and

65 percent among total viewers from the same night the previous year.[80]

Despite its middling ratings, Fringereceived a full-season renewal on March 6, 2010. [81]

Reviews

The second season of Fringe receiv ed generally very favorable reviews. At the beginning of the season, the series

was featured on the September 18 cover of Entertainment Weekly , which promised to give readers a "deep dive into

the gory, witty world of Fox's Fringe ".[82] Metacritic, a film review aggregate website, gave the second season

75/100 based upon ten reviews, indicating a "generally favorable" reception .[83] After viewing the firs t eight

episodes, Enter tainment We ekly columnist Ken Tucker gave the serie s an A-, calli ng it "one of the fastest, smartest,wittiest shows on television now... Fringe successfully mixes the crime genre with sci-fi, an d cold conspiraci es with

heartfelt emotion." [] Peter Swanson from Slant Magazine gave Fringe two and a half stars after watching the first six

episodes. He believed the second season had "floundered a little, stuck in that creative hinterland between the desire

to grab new viewers and the need to build on the mythology of the show's universe." [] While Swanson understood

the need to attract a larger audience, he thought the standalone episodes to be "less than stellar", as "they've yet to get

scary, or even vaguely unsettling". [] Swanson did however find the war between two universes to be "particularly

compelling", and expressed hope that " Fringe [would] find its footing." []

In a review of the entire second seas on, IGN believed that despit e the premiere's "great start", the first half contained

"some rather lackluster episodes" that "made a lot of fans worried and got the rumors of cancellation circulating"; the

second half however "showed that Fringe is still one of the best sci-fi series on TV". [] The A.V. Club agreed, andcalled the first half "entertaining" but "never essential" while noting a great i mprovement mid-way throu gh the

season, as "the show finally grounded its freak-of-the-week weirdness in deep sadn ess". [] The A.V. Club continued,

"...The season-two episode "Peter" finally dramatized the moment that changed [Peter's] life, giving the series'

overarching storyline a devastating emotional core, based in a father's love instead of in theoretical concepts. It only

got better from there, as the series expanded its world by further making those concepts concrete. Fringe is that rare

blend of inventive ideas, wild ambition, and unexpected soulfulness." [] The Seattle Post-Intelligencer believed that

by the end of the season " Fringe had truly found its footing, doing daring, experimental episodes like the musical

"Brown Betty"... and heartbreaking stand alone episodes, like "White Tulip", (which might be my favorite hour of

television this year that wasn't Lost -related)." []

In particular, critics highlighted the season premiere "A New Day in the Old Town" [] as well as regular e pisodes

"Peter" [][84][] and "W hite Tulip", [][][] and the season finale "Over There". [][][] The main three cast members'

performances were praised, [][] and various critics noted the series continued the sense of humor seen in the first

season. [][85] Fringe 's second season was chosen for a number of 2010 "best of television" lists, including The New

York Times ,[86] Entertainment Weekly ,[87] Digital Spy, [] the New York Post ,[88] The Daily Beast ,[89] the Seattle

Post-Intelligencer ,[90] AOL's TV Squad, [91] as well as IGN, which named Fringe the best sci-fi series of 2010,

beating fellow nominees Lost , Caprica , and Stargate Universe .[92]
