‘Fringe’ Returns To Fox Tonight With A Brand New Episode On A Brand New Night

Posted January 21st, 2011 by Dirk Van Tilborg

‘Fringe’ is back for the new year with a new episode and on a new day, Friday, on Fox at 9pm tonight.

The J.J. Abrams science fiction series returns with the episode “The Firefly”, which finds guest star Christopher Lloyd (‘Back to the Future’, ‘The Addams Family’) as Roscoe Joyce, the keyboardist of Walter’s favorite ’70s band. Together, they uncover some amazing parallels in their lives. Meanwhile, the Observers are back, and one of them wants the Fringe team to reverse a critical error.

About the show:
The FBI teams up with a formerly-institutionalized scientist – who was performing experiments on the fringe of real science – and his son to investigate weird crimes that are seemingly part of a larger pattern, and may be connected with a global company called Massive Dynamics.

Here’s a clip:

After reading Jack Kirby’s Forever People and New Gods comic books and watching 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dirk was assimilated during first grade recess into the collective known as Science Fiction. Fueled by the visions of mad scientists such as Philip K. Dick and Frank Herbert, he has quietly searched the galaxy for the next BladeRunner, Brazil and Dark City. Born in San Francisco and currently enjoying a steampunk version of Ft. Lauderdale, when not grokking Science Fiction he spends his time with family and friends and just maybe trying to enter the dreams of disingenuous politicians.
