Fringe: Brown Betty (2010)
Season 2, Episode 20
9/10
Good Grief--It's an Allegory
2 November 2023
This show ran five seasons and over a hundred episodes. We just had the most raw episode of the whole show with Peter leaving. Walter reverts back to drug use. He is coerced into telling a story by the little girl. The tale is masterful, with lots of impossibilities that still strike home. The characters are able to expand on their regular roles without getting completely out of wack. The singing and dancing are simply part of a story sequence. We know that Walter loves music, especially Broadway, and he includes a couple minutes in the entire feature where a couple characters sing. They do it at natural times as Walter weaves his tale of the loss of heart--the glass heart. I thought that this was a kind episode with lots of love and humanity. Way to go!
