FRINGE - Season 4.6 - AND THOSE WE LEFT BEHIND

The best episode of the season so far.

Stephen Root has built a time machine based on his wife's theories.  However, the formula is incomplete and she now suffers from Alzheimers.  He has to continually go back in time to get her to finish the formula.

The only problem is, every time he goes back, he causes time disruptions.  This was the best part of the episode.  A woman is in her kitchen with her five-year old daughter.  The kitchen's appearance changes.  She's now in a kitchen that was in a horrendous fire.  Scared, she goes to her daughter only to find her now an infant.  That is FRINGE at its finest.

Episode ends with Peter realizing he's in another universe.  And he has no idea how to get back to his own.

Neat idea.  However, the effects shot of a train suddenly appearing was weak.  So was the shot of the sea appearing in the tunnel.  This shows you the budget limitations of episodic television.
