Newest episode of Fringe (4x15 "A Short Story About Love").

Finally the question of "Is Peter already home, or is he somewhere else?" is answered - and it's the exact answer I expected. So I'm happy with that. And it looks like the state of Peter and Olivia's relationship is settled (for now, at least), too. So I'm happy with that, too.

I felt like the case-of-the-week was very good - some are calling it truncated, but I for one was glad I was able to make up my own mind about the disfigured man's motives rather than have it all spelled out for me in the end.

I also love seeing showrunners tackle directing - you can really tell that Wyman put a lot of thought into how he shot the episode, particularly with the little asides to Lincoln's face throughout the episode. I've been there, my friend, and yes, I know it sucks. He's portraying the friendzoned part of a love triangle quite well.

All in all, it was an average-to-slightly-above-average episode. Didn't reach the heights of "One Night in October" (still reigning as my all-time favorite Fringe episode, where it's been since it aired) or "White Tulip," but it wasn't bad, either.

4 balls out of 5.
