Been re-watching Fringe recently and just got to this episode. Fuck, looking at how most big series since have panned out, we didn't know how good we had it at the time.
Watching the actor who played the previous era-defining mad scientist archetype (Christopher Lloyd) performing against the new one (John Noble) was a special moment in sci-fi.
Nice trips. Fringe was incredibly good, and all the parallel reality shit was fascinating.

Yeah, parallel universes is a concept I'm surprised has been explored so little compared to other high-concept sci-fi stuff like time travel, aliens / space travel, cloning, or AI. Fringe is probably the show to have explored the idea and its implications the most (within the bounds of its own internal logic) that I can think of.
I guess I'll give it a shot again. I watched a few episodes a while back, but anons here said it was made on a shoestring budget and became boring, so I dropped it.
