Best (and Worst) Season Finales of 2011-2012 – Estrella Picks
30 May 2012 11:26 AM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
It’s that time of year… network shows are going off the air (some for good) and the cable summer season is about to premiere. We decided to take a look at all of the season finales that have aired thus far and here are more of our staff picks for the best and the worst for the 2011-2012 season. Here are picks made by BuzzFocus Associate Editor-Community Manager Ernie Estrella:
(Spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn’t seen these season finales!)
Best: Don’t Trust The B—- in Apartment 23
Wanna know why this show worked and 2 Broke Girls didn’t? We had rudeness from Chloe (Krystin Ritter) and the corruption and naïveté of June (Dreama Walker) is plenty fun, but the supporting characters prove to be something more than what they are on the surface. James Van Der Beek destroys playing a caricature of himself and as Chloe’s catty Bff, »

TV Reviews: “Fringe” Season 4, Episode 22, “Brave New World: Part Two” [Finale]
14 May 2012 7:53 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
“Brave New World, Part 2” Air Date: 5/11/12
If you haven’t watched last week’s Fringe, “Brave New World: Part One,” then go do so now, unless you want Mega Spoilers. However, I promise not to ruin any of the massive twists and turns of this week’s “Brave New World: Part Two,” so you’re safe to sit back, grab some red licorice, and ruminate with me about this divided, mixed, and ultimately classic season of Fringe.
Last week, Walter’s convictions that William Bell (the venerable Leonard Nimoy) was alive and behind David Robert Jones’ machinations turned out to be true. Unfortunately, his mission led to the shot heard round both universes, with Astrid crumpling to the ground from a bullet wound. The stunned silence and emotional punch which that moment produced in me caused me to leave common sense behind. Even though dead doesn’t »

Maureen Ryan: Why I Gave Up On 'Fringe' (And Why I Came Back)
12 May 2012 1:23 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Note: Do not read on if you have not seen the Season 4 finale of "Fringe," entitled "Brave New World Part 2."
Genetically mutated dinosaurs? A Cortexiphan baby? Leonard Nimoy? Brain-laced lemon cake?
You can't say there wasn't a lot going on in the May 11 "Fringe" finale. But weirdly enough, that's always been part of the problem with this unlikely survivor, which has been renewed for a fifth and final season.
The Fox show is always trying to balance "stuff" -- the complex mythology that has grown up around the Observers, Olivia Dunham, Walter Bishop, his old friend William Bell, his son Peter and a number of alternate worlds and scenarios -- with the ultimate emotional impact of the stories it tells.
It's not an easy balance to strike, and Season 4 was something of an object lesson in the perils of ideas that seem cool on paper, but can lessen the cumulative »

Fringe, Ep. 4.22, “Brave New World (Part 2)”: Finale makes most of troublesome setup

Fringe Review, Season 4, Episode 22: “Brave New World (Part 2)”
Written by Jeff Pinkner, J. H. Wyman, and Akiva Goldsman
Directed by Joe Chappelle
Airs Fridays at 9pm (Et) on Fox
This week, on Fringe: Bell monologues, Walter shoots, and Olivia smiles
It’s been a mixed season for Fringe. After last year’s shocking cliffhanger, much of the beginning of season four dealt with the fallout of Peter’s deletion. 22 episodes later, we’re in much the same place as we were then. Peter and Olivia are together and happy, Walter is comparatively well-adjusted, thanks to Peter’s influence, and mad scientists keep insisting on cropping up to make trouble. David Robert Jones filled this role well, but he’s already been dealt with, so we’re back to Belly as the mysterious villain. Perhaps the most significant change this season was the addition of Lincoln Lee as a permanent fixture in both Universes. »

Leonard Nimoy Talks Fringe Season Finale, the Star Trek Sequel, The Big Bang Theory, and More
11 May 2012 3:27 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Not only are Fringe fans thrilled that the show recently received a 13-episode, fifth and final season to wrap things up, but they are equally as excited for the return of actor Leonard Nimoy, as the ever mysterious William Bell, on the Season 4 finale. In “Brave New World Pt. 2,” the Fringe team is pushed to their breaking point as they desperately attempt to prevent a catastrophic event that threatens the lives of everyone. During this recent interview to promote his return to the sci-fi drama, Leonard Nimoy talked about what enticed him to come back, his desire to explore characters with dimension, how long he’s been keeping his appearance a secret, and that he’d be open to returning again in Season 5. He also talked about his love of comedy, his willingness to take more acting roles if it’s something he’s intrigued by, and that he will »

Fringe Finale, Brave New World Trailer and Tease
10 May 2012 4:24 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
The first part of Fringe’s Season 4 finale, “Brave New World,” set the stage for the end to one of the craziest seasons of science fiction television I have ever seen. Not only did Leonard Nimoy come out of retirement to reprise his role as William Bell, but it became quite clear he has been the bad guy all along, pulling the strings from behind the scenes and directing the more obviously villainous David Robert Jones. Going into the second part of “Brave New World,” we have a lot of questions that need to be answered and, thankfully, Fox gave us a couple of videos that should calm our nerves that most answers will be revealed.

'Fringe' finale: Will the two universes merge?
9 May 2012 10:26 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Fringe" has been incredibly exciting this season, but no episode hit a home run the way the first part of the season finale "Brave New World" did. David Robert Jones (Jared Harris) is trying to merge the universes to create a new one that he controls. Who's behind it? William Bell (Leonard Nimoy), who isn't in amber after all.
A shorter version of the movie-style trailer was released before Part One, but now we have the full version. After the moment Astrid (Jaiska Nicole) is shot, we see exactly what Bell is trying to do. It's terrifying. And what about Olivia (Anna Torv)? Will she make it, despite what the Other saw?
Check out the full trailer below and let us know what you think. Thank goodness we have another season! There is no way this could have been wrapped up in one more night! "Fringe" fans, you just won TV! »

Fringe Season Finale Trailer: A Brave New World
9 May 2012 6:18 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Warning, Fringe fans: the following trailer for this Friday's season four finale has only been approved for those few whom William Bell has chosen. View at your own risk.
Following an incredible opening hour of this Fringe event, the Fox series will wrap up with "Brave New World Part 2," an appropriate title, given the plans a returning Bell has in mind.
"If we are capable of being gods, then it is our destiny to do so," he tells John Noble's confused, angry, desperate Walter in the extended preview below.
Look for resurrection, destruction, creation and... dinosaurs to all be featured on the finale. Get ridiculously excited for it now:

This week, on Fringe: Walter bakes, Olivia and Astrid are fighters, and Belly likes almonds
Much of this season has centered around the reemergence of David Robert Jones. He’s been a fantastic villain, keeping a few steps ahead of the Fringe team by shrouding his larger agenda in mystery. Jared Harris has been a blast in the role, dripping with malevolent glee, chewing the scenery when appropriate, and dialing down the camp and up the intensity when his scenes call for it. This week, we bid Jones a fond farewell as he once again goes out by Peter’s hand, with an assist from his own technology (losing half his face in the process). As ever, Harris gives his scenes his all, »

Fringe 4.21 "Brave New World: Part One" Review

Fringe 4.21 "Brave New World: Part One" Review
Last night’s Fringe was an action-packed first part of a season finale. True to form, the episode was rife with shocking moments doled out with alacrity while some long-awaited revelations brought the bigger picture into focus. In “Brave New World: Part 1” we learn that David Robert Jones still has some tricks up his sleeve, and that the closing of the Bridge doesn’t seem to have stopped Jones’ quest to destroy the universes. Not only that, but it becomes quickly apparent that Jones is answering to someone else who is calling the shots. Even though “Letters of Transit” hinted at Leonard Nimoy’s return as William Bell, I didn’t really expect to see Nimoy so fully reprise his role as the enigmatic Belly. I think it’s a credit to everyone involved that they were able to keep such a »

Fringe Review: Olivia Dunham, Superhero!
4 May 2012 10:32 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Well now. Was that the shortest hour of television in the history of television or did I somehow miss half of "Brave New World, Part 1?"
The last few episodes have all been quite similar in that respect. Before I have time to wrap my head around the enormity of what's happening, the credits roll! That's an incredible combination of my somewhat thick skull and the extraordinary craft that goes into making an episode of Fringe.
We were duped!
I have to give credit to producers who can hold a press conference and successfully retain the big secrets. As a writer, I've come to trust Joel Wyman and Jeff Pinkner when they say something, so I didn't think twice during a recent Fringe interview when they said they had so far been unsuccessful in begging Leonard Nimoy to return to acting and had resorted to planting signs in his yard. A slight exaggeration, »

Fringe "Brave New World, Part One" Preview - Season Finale Promises Shocking Returns!

Fringe "Brave New World, Part One" Preview - Season Finale Promises Shocking Returns!
The first part of Fringe's fourth season finale comes this Friday with "Brave New World, Part Two", and the promo recently released by Fox offers a few hints on some twists yet to come. If you watched "Letters of Transit", you already know that William Bell wound up frozen in amber. Obviously this suggests that Bell is alive and well in at least one of the post-sans-Peter-alterna-verses (does that fit the nomenclature? You tell me). In "Letters" Walter suggested Bell did some pretty vile things, to Olivia in particular. So vile that Walter had no problem cutting off his former partner's hand, leaving the rest of him to wait out eternity in amber. So is Bell the man pulling David R. Jones's strings? I say probably not.
Think of this, if it were Bell then »
