Sadly, I have not been able to follow Fringe as closely as I would have liked since its premiere. I loved the two hour pilot that I saw at last year’s San Diego Comic Con and I was psyched about the series, but they collected dust on my Tivo. At the end of the season I’m going to hold a marathon and watch them all over a long weekend.

But for those who have been following the show week to week have another intriguing episode tonight as the gang’s investigation of a case of spontaneous combustion relates to not only Olivia’s visions, but Walter’s ZFT manifesto and a pivotal revelation from Peter.  Things are coming together as the season races towards its conclusion. The all new episode airs at 9pm after American Idol on FOX.

Fringe is the best show that is sitting and collecting dust in my Tivo. Once my schedule opens up a little more I’m going to sit down to a weekend Fringe marathon.  For those of you who have been watching it weekly, tonight’s all new episode gets the golden spot after American Idol at 9pm on FOX.

Official episode description: “A visit from Olivia’s sister (Ari Graynor) and a formal review of the Fringe Division coincide with the investigation of the murder of a famous scientist, which may have something to do with Olivia’s recent abduction.”
