I'm currently going through series two of Fringe, and ran into one of those semi-perfect episodes that seem to happen like, once in a blue moon. I'm talking about episodes like In the Pale Moonlight (DS9), Episode eight of series three of Twin Peaks, and a few others over the years. Now for the greatest impact, one usually must be familiar with the show/cast, or much can be lost or not fully understood/appreciated.
While I decry much of television and films for being lazy, when these perfect art forms succeed, they do so with sublime perfection. Heck, any form of art can hit this level, be it a book, painting, what have you. What truly amazes me is how rare they are, yet in the end, perhaps that's a blessing. Or we'd take them for granted.
The Fringe episode I speak of is entitled "White Tulip". Now, first of all let me make one thing clear: Peter Weller, for me, is simply a consummate actor. I can equally see him playing a dad in a cardigan, or a ruthless psycho slaying with utter abandon, he has incredible range. As mentioned above earlier, of course the more experience one has with the established characters and plot threads, the more impact this particular episode will have. I, for one, find it amazing.
