When Fringe is on the ball, it is INCREDIBLY good. I'm in the "disappointed in S5 (and late S4)" camp, but ohmyheart, that show. Olivia Dunham is a glory on this earth.

I pass on this warning, which I was given too late: ep. 1x02 is astoundingly awful. Like, one of the worst episodes of TV I have ever seen in my life. It is not representative.
