FRINGE in Focus: Peter’s Journey From Hero to Villain
For fans sitting in front of their television sets last Friday night, there was a universal feeling of shock as the shape-shifter killer was revealed. It was not some peripheral guest-star unmasked in this killing spree. Rather it was one of our own. From day-one, the show has been about a mad scientist, his son and the FBI agent assigned to work with them. Yet as the mask slipped, we all discovered a harsh truth we never expected to see: Peter Bishop was the killer.
As our emotions sent us reeling in after-shock, our brains struggled to comprehend what had just happened. In the four years the show has been on, has there ever been a doubt that Peter was the good guy? He may have started off as a bit of a shyster and he was reluctant to aid his father, Walter Bishop, in his release from the mental institution and to be the babysitter that Walter needed so that he could work with the FBI. But as time went by, we all succumbed to the ultimate con: Peter was never the good guy, he was the villain.
Perhaps Peter himself did not know to what depths he would venture to accomplish his goals. Yet in “Reciprocity,” the world shifted. Not because there is an alternate dimension, or because Peter was stolen from that dimension; but because Peter may be a willing participant in the destruction of our universe as we know it. Did he always know? Did he always plan to be the one to bring down our universe? Or was he merely a sleeper-agent that was activated once Peter was brought into the presence of the doomsday device? Walter certainly wishes to believe that Peter was “weaponized” by the device. But there is so much we now look back on and wonder about. Was Peter blind to Faux-Olivia’s charade or was he merely playing along in a double-con of his own?
With one shift of the kaleidoscope and all our perceptions about the man we thought we knew are gone.

Breaking: GLEE’s Chord Overstreet Catches Bieberfever!
If you’re a card-carrying member of the Justin Bieber fan club who also happens to be somewhat obsessed with a little show called GLEE you’re probably going to want to sit down for this. No really, brace yourself and take a deep breath because we’re fairly confident we’ve got a little something that will blow your mind! A first look at GLEE’s February 15th episode that sees Sam attempt to win back Quinn by forming a tribute band to you-know-who. More first look photos of which can be found after the jump.
GLEE Star Jenna Ushkowitz Previews What Will Surely Be a Thriller of a Post-Super Bowl Episode
What a difference 18 months can make.
Need proof? Step into our wayback machine.
The year was 2009, the month was April and the world was an entirely different place. Bieberfever had yet to infect a nation of teenagers, Conan O’Brien fans were anxiously awaiting his ascension to THE TONIGHT SHOW throne, and your very own TV Addict was lucky enough to have been given the opportunity to drop by a nondescript Santa Monica area high school to chat with the cast of a risky little show called GLEE.
Cut to the hear-and-now and listen as Jenna Ushkowitz — aka the now-monster-hit’s Tina — marvels at the fact that the show that dared to try and make musicals cool again (and succeeded beyond anyone’s wildest imaginations) will be airing in the much-coveted post-Super Bowl slot this Sunday.
