Fringe

When they say absence makes the heart grow fonder, they were talking about Fringe. After taking a few weeks off for Baseball, Fringe returns to FOX with a run of brand new episodes for November sweeps. Kicking things off is the curiously titled "Earthling". Curious in that the title could be perceived as suggesting someone in the episode is NOT an 'Earthling,' and Fringe has thus far avoided anything more than the very vague notion of aliens. Whether or not there is an alien encounter in this week's Fringe remains to be seen, but if you are looking for a sneak peek at the episode - that's another matter all together. Click on through for a close encounter of the third kind with Fringe's "Earthling."
