Episode 2.04 Momentum Deferred
Airdate: October 8, 2009

As we see in these Fringe episode photos, the shape shifter is still around, and he’s trying to fit in so he can find out things from Olivia before he kills her. And Leonard Nimoy is back with all the Dr. Bell creepiness. This looks great!

Three Rivers Episode 1.01 – Place of Life
Air Date: October 4, 2009

CBS just released the info about the first two episodes of Three Rivers. They also decided to swap the two first episodes, so Place of Life will air first, Tick-Tock will air second. This is the new season premiere info:

Press Release
ALEX O’LOUGHLIN, KATHERINE MOENNIG, DANIEL HENNEY, CHRISTOPHER J. HANKE, ALFRE WOODARD AND JUSTINA MACHADO STAR IN “THREE RIVERS,” A NEW MEDICAL DRAMA PREMIERING SUNDAY, OCT. 4

“Place of Life” – After suffering a heart‑attack, Dr. Andy Yablonski (Alex O’Loughlin) tells a young pregnant woman that in order to save her and her unborn child she must get a heart transplant. However, unexpected complications with the donor’s family place the operation in jeopardy, on THREE RIVERS, premiering Sunday, Oct. 4 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. (Previously scheduled for a later date)

THREE RIVERS is a medical drama that goes inside the emotionally complex lives of organ donors, the recipients and the surgeons at the preeminent transplant hospital in the country, where every moment counts. However, dealing with donor families in their darkest hour and managing the fears and concerns of apprehensive recipients takes much more than just a sharp scalpel. Leading the elite team is Dr. Andy Yablonski, the highly-skilled workaholic lead organ transplant surgeon, whose good-natured personality and sarcastic wit makes him popular with his patients and colleagues. His co-workers include Dr. Miranda Foster, a surgical fellow with a rebellious streak and fiery temper who strives to live up to her deceased father’s excellent surgical reputation; Dr. David Lee, a womanizing surgical resident who’s broken as many hearts as he’s replaced; Ryan Abbott, the inexperienced new transplant coordinator who arranges the intricately choreographed process of quickly and carefully transporting organs from donor to patient; Dr. Sophia Jordan, a brilliant surgeon at the top of her field and the head of surgery. She has a vast amount of experience, training all around the world, which gives her an extremely diverse point-of-view; and Pam Acosta, Andy’s no-nonsense operating assistant and best friend. In this high stakes arena, in which every case is a race against the clock, these tenacious surgeons and medical professionals are the last hope for their patients.

Episode 2.01 A New Day in the Old Town
Airdate: September 17, 2009

  • The season premiere of Fringe began with a man running from a car accident and when he finds a man leaving an apartment, he kills the man and shape shifts until he has the man’s face.
  • Detectives investigating the accident call Peter Bishop who is in the grocery store with Walter Bishop shopping for ingredients in a birthday surprise for Peter. He learns about the accident.
  • The lead detective on the scene of the accident, Agent Jessup tries to get Peter to tell her what kind of work they do, but he manages to avoid the question.
  • Walter unlocks the SUV, and checks inside, just before he jumps out and agent Dunham flies out of the car through the windshield and lands on the pavement, unconscious.
  • Special Agent Broyles approaches Agent Jessup, hands her a file and tells her that the accident had no extenuating circumstances and the case is closed. But she would continue to investigate the team, on her own.
  • At the hospital, a doctor tells Peter & Walter that Olivia did not survive her head injuries. Walter refused to accept that fact and forced his way in to see her.
  • Peter is having a drink at a bar when Broyles joins him, telling him that the department may have to be shut down because they had failed to produce any results.
  • Peter went back to the hospital to pay his last respects to Olivia before the life support was to be turned off and she awoke, speaking in a language sounding like Russian and sat up in the bed.
  • Olivia told Peter that she went somewhere and was told she needed to do something. She said everyone’s lives depended on it. She asked for her gun.
  • When Peter went to the federal building in Boston to find Broyles he was told his credentials had been revoked. Agent Jessup took him with her to find the man they thought had been in the accident. They found him dead in his apartment, but couldn’t tell why he had died.
  • The shape shifter guy went to a typewriter refurbisher and used an old Selectric typewriter to type a message that he had killed the target and a meeting had been prevented. The typewriter typed back on its own that the meeting had occurred. It told him to interrogate the target [Olivia] and then kill her.
  • Back at Walter’s lab, he does an autopsy on the body while Astrid makes the custard for Peter’s birthday. He discovers the holes left by the shape shifter’s apparatus and shows everyone an old VCR tape where he found out about how the shape shifters use the apparatus to take the shape of a person.
  • Broyles went before a counsel that wanted to shut down the Fringe Division and he argued for its continuation.
  • Peter & Agent Jessup were called to a morgue near the accident scene where a body was found with the same three holes in the mouth. They realize that the shape shifter is trying to get to Olivia, so they rush back to her at the hospital.
  • Before they get there, the shape shifter surprised the nurse for Olivia and took her shape. He then went in to question her in her room. When Olivia told her all she knew, she tired to strangle Olivia.
  • Agent Jessup managed to get to the room in time to shoot her before she jumped out of the window three stories up. She ran away as if nothing had happened. Apparently, the shape shifter doesn’t get injured like we do.
  • Jessup, Peter & Charlie chase her into the basement of the hospital. She hid in the pipes near the ceiling, but dropped down in time for Charlie to shoot at her. Jessup & Peter run toward the sound of the shots to find Charlie standing over the body of the nurse. The apparatus was beside the body.
  • Peter went to see Olivia and told her about the shape-shifting soldier from another universe. He also told her that the words she said when she woke up were the same ones his mother used to tell him in Greek when he was a kid. It meant that he should be a “better man than his father.”
  • Peter gave the apparatus to Broyles to show to the feds who were trying to shut down the division. It was proof that they were onto something and were getting results. It should keep them from shutting down the Fringe Division.
  • Jessup continued her research and typed something having to do with a “beast.” She then closed a Bible.
  • The episode ended with the shape shifter destroying Charlie’s body by burning it in the incinerator in the basement of the hospital.

Discussion Questions:

  1. How long do you think it will be before the others discover that Charlie is now the shape shifter?
  2. Will Charlie/the shape shifter try again to kill Olivia?
  3. Any ideas about what Olivia needs to find?
  4. What do you think is Jessup’s agenda for her investigation? Is she really to be trusted?

Fringe: Spoiler About Broyles

I like the fact that Fringe will actually get to develop Broyles’ character more this season. We were mostly getting background on the strange occurances and on Peter & Walter Bishop. This will be cool:

Question: Any interesting Fringe news? —Sara

Ausiello: We’ll find out what makes Broyles tick this season. Among the revelations: “He’s ex-military,” reveals his portrayer, Lance Reddick, “which probably won’t surprise anyone. You will find out that he’s a colonel and has a very long history with the Fringe division. You will also find out why I got divorced later in the season and my ex-wife will be on screen. We will meet her and that is interesting. That’s actually a big episode for Broyles. In the same episode, we revisit an old case of mine that comes back and rears its ugly head.” [Source: EW]
