Weak Interactions is a blog that looks at the science in Breaking Bad and the non-science in Fringe.
Ah, it was The Whelk: I just assume it exists in the universe where the Fortean Times is a legit, peer reviewed journal. The Silver Age- ish take on science is one of the show's more charming elements.

I have a personal rule that every show is provided (at least) one free pass from the suspension of disbelief department. Fringe would otherwise drive me absolutely crazy with all the piles of horseshit they try to peddle in the name of science, but I just sigh and ignore it and find that I'm still able to enjoy the show. Clever shows use "magic exists" as their free pass, and in doing so they are allowed almost anything, because once you have magic then you can explain nearly anything. And I'm even willing to buy that, if that's your one thing. Buffy and Angel are two of my favorite shows, and I find myself almost never playing armchair reality lawyer and bitching about how it shouldn't be possible to X or Y.
What grinds my clock however is when a show doesn't play by the rules and expects too many passes. They want to base a show in reality but they also want to tell fantastical tales. Sorry, but you only get so many passes. Put them to good use.

My problem with Fringe is that it often gets its setting of Boston/New England horribly wrong. Northeastern forests are deciduous! All that pine is CLEARLY the Pacific Northeast. Takes me right out of the scene.
Although the one scene I've seen "from" my current Boston-area town looks *just enough* like the laundromat down the street that it creeps me out.

I caught an episode of Fringe recently where Cedric Daniels had like a cocoon attached to his ear and he was talking to it? And then it cut to another character with the same affliction? And I realised that the writers got sick of having to write "Cedric takes out his phone to call Pacey" and decided to go with "Cedric talks into his own face." Who gave them these things, was it aliens?

Re: CSI-shows...
All the agents dress like they're pulling in pre-bust banker salaries and then there's Gary Sinise doing SCIENCE with a fucking fully 3D tactile hologram scan of the victims body like he's living in TOM CRUISE'S MINORITY REPORT I mean, come on. If such a device really existed does anyone really think a U.S. law enforcement agency could afford to own it?
Also also that one wisecracking-sunglasses guy from CSI:Miami is apparently an idiot savant and can calculate things like the flight path of a body that has been pushed from the hotel roof and then is FREAKISHLY ACCIDENTALY SHOT BY FLARE GUN MID-FLIGHT and that somehow totally makes sense and is why the victim is impaled on a spike when his body could not have made it that far from a jump normally. Also his character is really awkward and strange (or is that David Caruso's acting style?!)
Maybe they change the name to "Rain Man:COP"

Of the many things to enrage me in all those CSI shows, one of the things that most enrages me is the women wearing ridiculous high heels and stiletto-heeled boots to crime scenes. I practically had a rage blackout when I caught a scene of CSI: Miami where the crime scene investigator was wearing bright white slacks and four-inch heels. Fringe wins about a million points from me for Olivia Dunham's sensible boots and unsexy but not unattractive civil servant clothes and practical ponytail.
Basically, Fringe can have all the terrible pseudoscience in the world and I will smile and nod because Olivia Dunham wears sensible boots while fighting monsters.

The show is currently juggling three active versions of Olivia right now, but there are really four versions of every main character except for Peter. There's original timeline Olivia; original timeline Fauxlivia; new timeline Olivia; and new timeline Fauxlivia. They all have different backstories and memories. The show was kind enough to give Fauxlivia red hair to Olivia's blonde, but the boundaries between original and new Olivia have been quite blurred. For reasons not entirely explained, original timeline Olivia has seeped into new timeline Olivia, to the point of pushing out some of her memories, which is why in recent episodes she and Peter were close to getting back together even though she had never met him until several months ago in story-time.
It's notoriously hard to handicap the chances of Fringe being renewed, as it has confounded all conventional logic for the last several renewals. At the end of this season they will have 87 episodes which I think is enough for stripped syndication, one of the main goals of extending the life of a show even though it's pulling in low numbers. It's been getting 1.1 ratings in the key 18-49 demo, which is pretty bad, but to be somewhat expected in a Friday slot. Honestly, I don't think they will renew and this will be our final season. I would like more, but it probably won't happen. A great finale would be enough for me.

Fringe is wonderful in part because of this. It's almost, but not quite, an updated, in-universe-consistent commedia dell'arte in which the characters are drawn from a truly bizarre set of stock roles that keep recurring in different iterations.
And the story is fantastic: imagine Miranda dying after Prospero's already drowned his books, and now has to live with the guilt of knowing that he could have saved her. Add the FBI and you have Fringe.

Walter is the weakest link, though it's hardly his fault, having the lion's share of all that awful pseudo-science dialog. Walternate makes up for it somewhat. And I feel bad for Cedric Daniels, reprising the Wooden Lieutenant from the Wire but without a life off the job. He doesn't even change from one universe or timeline to the next.

Interestingly enough, I've just spent the past month watching every avbailable episode of both shows. Breaking Bad was the show lots of people told me was awesome, and I enjoyed but wasn't completely bowled over by. Fringe is the show that I had never heard of before, and is now one of my favorites.
I am a sucker for anything involving pseudoscience, fart jokes, alternate universes, hallucinogenics and Cedric Daniels. I have to disagree about Anna Torv being a lousy actress. She plays Olivia pretty wooden, but I think she shows some subtle acting chops in her transition to the more charming and dry witted Fauxlivia.
I was a bit disappointed when after two full seasons they started letting Aspirin out of the lab. I thought it would be really funny to have her character only appear in the lab for the entire series, only to reveal that she had been the astral projection of the cow al all along.

Olivia in the new timeline was suffering the effects of the drug by picking up on Peter's hopes and memories about the old-timeline Olivia, and the effects were turning Newlivia into Oldlivia, or something.
That was the theory they came up with, but they also admitted that Olivia experienced memories that Peter would have had no way of knowing, which meant that there was something else at play.

Nothing can make me un-love Fringe.
I actually thought Torv was weak at first, but I have to hand it to her, the subtle ways she juggles the characters (look at how much more Fauxlivia talks with her hands - also quicker, more impish) compared to Olivia. Her Nimoy was awesome.
And the animated episode, I thought, was fantastic.
But then, I just love the show because it pushes all my nerd buttons. So maybe it sucks and I just have bad taste.

My hope for the season is an Astrid episode. I was skeptical about how the show was going to work rebooting the Walter drama, but it's not bad.
I don't mind handwavium in science fiction as long as it's treated properly, mostly because pretensions to "hard science fiction" are often only slightly better on the science and significantly worse on the characters and conflict.
