So far, this fall, the second season of ‘Fringe’ was offering mostly time travel arcs, the trademark J. J. Abrams guru figure, and a lot of gross-out sci-fi stand alone episodes–not exactly my thing. Though I really loved season one of ‘Fringe,’ I was beginning to doubt my commitment to continue watching the show.
But after taking a break for the holidays ‘Fringe’ returned with two strong episodes, both of which aired the same week. My favorite: the exorcism episode!
Soon, however, we learn that the young girl is possessed by a man recently murdered, who takes over her body and voice in quite the Exorcist-movie sort of way. It’s fantastic! Enter Walter, thrilled to pieces about performing his own, wacky scientific version of an exorcism, not to mention a throw down with the Catholic priest over whether or not possession and exorcisms are real or “a bunch of superstition.”
‘Unearthed’ is ‘Fringe’ at its and I hope for more of the same as season two continues. The entirety of ‘Unearthed’ is streaming online at hulu.com.
