Fringe: The Arrival

October 3rd, 2008 by The Dapper Alchemist | No Comments

(Episode 4) This was a very Peter-centric episode. We’ve felt his reluctance in being involved with his father and Agent Dunham’s endeavor to track and understand The Pattern. Peter’s reluctance stems from his not wanting to be his father’s keeper, his unease with staying in one place for too long and ultimately his […]


Fringe: The Ghost Network

(Episode 3) Before I begin my review, I must apologize for the delay. It’s been a very hard couple of days in the lab. It seems being a scientist by day and a writer by night is harder than I had initially thought. I’m also going to change how this review is […]

Fringe: The Same Old Story

(Episode 2) “Inexplicable and frightening things are happening and there’s a connection somehow.” –Agent Olivia Dunham
Cabals, rapid aging, parental secrets and corporate recruitment, is there anything this episode didn’t have? This episode starts off in post-coital bliss, sure the sex is paid for but the scene is blissful nonetheless. Unfortunately the good times […]


Fringe: Pilot

Fringe: Pilot

(Episode 1) Well here we are, the first episode of Fringe, JJ Abrams’ new “science”-based show. I’ll say that I was pretty excited about the program before it even aired, and that I was going to write a smashing review on the first episode. But as I started watching the show I started […]

From G's to Gents: Real Talk, Seriously Speaking

(Episode 6) With Kesan out of the house, the boys take some time to enjoy themselves. Did I see T-Jones do a double-reverse backflip into the pool? Sorry, I’ve clearly been watching too much of the Olympic diving competition. We’re treated to a tender moment when Cee is talking to his ex […]

From G's to Gents: Ladies Night at the Club

(Episode 5) This episode is about three things: chivalry, how not to objectify and gallantry. But that’s only on the surface, we’re treated to more G-checking, partial dude nudity and a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde moment. All right so lets dive into the episode. Frederick informs the Gs that todays challenge […]

From G's to Gents: Buckle Down or Bottoms Up

Update: MTV’s Overdrive finally posted the fourth episode, watch here.
(Episode 4) Before I move onto the review I must comment on Fonzworth Bentley’s suit. It’s rare that we see a man suited in glen plaid and Mr. Bentley pulls it off with aplomb.
I have a mixed feelings about this episode. Sure we’re seeing […]

From G's to Gents: Play or Be Played

(Episode 3) People do not like Kesan. Even after he apologized at the end of the last episode, the other gentleman-in-training are after him. It certainly does not help that Cee is playing Machiavelli and is painting Kesan in a bad light. So the day ends with ever more antagonism in the […]

From G's to Gents: From G to GQ

(Episode 2) Well we’ve made it to the second episode and it was worth the wait. The goal of this show was to teach these Gs that a gentleman always dresses appropriately for every occasion, or as Zenel puts it, “Be fresh to death and look like a zillion bucks.”
This episode starts off with […]

From G's to Gents: Gees Whiz

Note: I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve also reviewed the second episode, From G to GQ.
(Episode 1) I must admit that I had my doubts concerning this show. I was afraid that it was a reality program cast in the image of VH1 shows, in other words a debacle. […]
