Hey Guys,
Fringe is back with Episode 19 "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide" and you have voted in the episode poll and this is where the episode is ranked based on what you thought:
Slotting in towards the bottom is where such a different episode could expect to be placed. It, much like Brown Betty, will continue to divide opinions until the series finishes I'm sure.
In terms of it's ranking for the full series, here is that table:

So underrated...
ReplyDeletethey had to make this as a cartoon. too much special effects would be needed and not enough money in the budget = awful episode. this way it was good!
ReplyDeleteHmm I actually preferred Brown Betty over LCD
ReplyDeleteEven with the cartoon part (which was too long),it should have rated higher. The show had a lot of meaning in it. After the episode was over I kept on thinking about. And hardly paid any attention to the following show.
ReplyDeleteAlthough not really a fan of this one, I think I would still put it above Reciprocity, just because it delt with a lot of ongoing themes.
ReplyDeleteAnimation isn't exactly cheap and easy though...
ReplyDeleteWhile I really enjoyed the episode, I had to vote Great over Awesome for one reason: I felt that William Bell's presence was wasted. While I thought that he added a great deal to the character development side of things (like his wonderful scene with Walter in the Zeppelin), his presence had no bearing on the overall story (for now). A character of his magnitude with that many secrets really should have come out and said something lol. Oh well, here's to hoping he's not actually completely gone.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about William Bell's presence being wasted. Part of me wish he will come back some day in another form.
ReplyDeleteI work in the animation field. Cost is the same. The longer it takes to created, the more it will cost, especially if there are directorial changes.
ReplyDeleteI'm a multimedia student hoping to make a career in animation someday so I'm kinda baffled at all the people who are thinking "they used animated sequences to make things cheaper". The only non-plot reason I can think of for the animation is that they couldn't get Nimoy back properly, nothing to do with production cost at all.
ReplyDeleteI think he will. There are too many unanswered questions and I for one don't believe Bell's only motive was to help Olivia realize she didn't need to be afraid anymore...he is up to something else...not necessarily a good something else either
ReplyDeleteAbout where I would have placed it.. It was good... maybe even great, but the bad animation, lowered it a great deal to me. Fringe has such amazing actors it should be a literal crime to remove them from the equation and replace them with animation.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a specialist in this field but for me it's really hard to believe that animated zeppelin flying above WTC towers, parachuting and then scenes with like 5 hummers on a large housing development are not cheaper to do as a cartoon than in good looking real special effects :)
ReplyDeleteGreat episode. It was something new and creative and I think it added to the storyline of the episode. It wasn't the entire episode and they probably won't do it again. Don't really understand all the whiny backlash against it. Not that big of a deal.
ReplyDeleteI did like the episode to tell you the truth....
ReplyDelete*blushes*
This was my favorite episode this season :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I actually love Brown Betty :)
ReplyDeleteThat b3rt4 probably doesn`t know what`s a great show. Or I don`t know what better he expects. This show rocks every week it airs. The episodes doesn`t stand alone cause the show is very serialized. So everyone needs to look at it in a bigger picture.
ReplyDeleteThere were so many easter eggs in this episode. These two in particular are the most troubling for me: when Peter tells Walter that everyone in the city is dressed like Olivia, Walter says that the cortexiphan kids were designed that way (to blend in). What the hell does that mean? Or when Bell tells Peter after landing in Jacksonville that he has a 10 years experience in that city. What else did he do in Jacksonville other than cortexiphan trials?
I'm curious as to why b3rt4 even reviews this show. What qualifies one as a reviewer? It would seem that he doesn't really like the show with all the low scores.
ReplyDeleteCheaper to the animation of all that.
ReplyDeleteB3rt4 is like the second in charge of this site after Dark Ufo.
