Spoiler Alert: FRINGE Goes Back to the Future
Warning: The above photo of Walter sporting some slammin’ sideburns coupled with FRINGE’s April 1st spring premiere should in no way fool you. Seriously. Despite an April Fool’s Day relaunch, there will be very little to laugh about when the sophomore series returns. Why? Well, we’re not about to spoil the fun here. Except to say that the episode entitled “Peter” will flashback to 1985 and feature your first look at Peter’s hereto unforeseen mother played by Irish actress Orla Brady. Feel free to fill in the blanks by checking out a few incredibly spoiler-heavy photos after the jump.

Why FOX is Smarter than a Fifth Grader
There’s a reason FOX is our favorite network. Whether they’re taking a chance on a group of unknown high school gleeks, or continue to be the only major network to put the time and energy into crafting creative press screeners, the simple fact of the matter is this: They try harder.
Take this summer for example. Unlike their main competition — who seem only too happy to sit back and cede valuable primetime real estate, not to mention record ratings and profits to cable networks such as USA and TNT — FOX has decided to try something radical. Rather than continue to pass off the usual mix of reruns and reality as must see summer TV (Yes, we’re talking to you NBC), Kevin Reilly (Entertainment President, FOX Broadcasting Company) and Co. are… brace yourself… actually going to offer up shows that viewers will be interested in. Crazy, right?
