I've met a number of women writing for television who were writing for Fringe because they wanted a kind of freedom they don't get in a TV writing job.
Jane Boursaw of AOL TV wrote, "This episode of Fringe had everything - a slimy embryo, a thrilling gunfight, nefarious shapeshifters, some alternate universe action, and yes, that heartbreaking drama we've been waiting for all season".
Andrew Hanson of the Los Angeles Times wrote "The third season of Fringe continues to get better with each episode.
A.V. Club's Noel Murray graded the episode with an A-, writhat thethirde third season of Fringe opened tonight with one of the strongest, boldest episodes in the whole run of the series".
Over the years, I've often written about the political caution of fringe comedy, and wished that this festival packed more radical clout.
MTV's Josh Wigler also enjoyed the shapeshifter plot, and wrote that "the latest episode of Fringe marks four fantastic installments in a row, instantly establishing season three as having the strongest opening act of any other previous year in the science fiction series.
In a slightly more positive review, MTV's Josh Wigler wrote "As far as standard installments of Fringe go, 'Unearthed' ranks somewhere in the middle of the pack, but the quality diminishes due to its awkward placement in the middle of season two".
After watching the first three episodes, Aaron Riccio of Slant Magazine also praised the new season, writing "The plots have generally been the "fringe" of Fringe; the meat has been in the characters' developing feelings for one another.
A fan of Fringe, Pearl Jam musician Mike McCready talked with series composer Chris Tilton about writing some music for "Northwest Passage".
She wore a lot of fringe and headbands and sang "awful songs" that she wrote.
