Fringe - TV Guide: 2011's Best Episodes

Fringe season 4

From Oprah's surprisingly low-key farewell to the year's most soul-crushing break-up on The Good Wife (Kalicia, no!), the year was packed with fantastic hours of television — pretty much all of which we watched. There were teary goodbyes (Friday Night Lights' Texas forever! Smallville's tights and flights!), tense face-offs (why can't all CIA interrogations take place on the front porch of a cabin, like on Homeland?) and of course we made room for a little Glee (because certain underdogs deserved it). Which made the list. Tune in all week for our top 25.

Here's the first batch in our weeklong countdown of 2011's best episodes...

FRINGE

"Lysergic Acid Diethylamide," Fringe

The title alone indicated that this episode would be a trip. When Olivia attempted to extricate William Bell's consciousness from hers by taking LSD, the world went topsy-turvy, and the episode switched from live-action to animation. The twisty, Inception-like hour also marked Leonard Nimoy's farewell to the series.

Justified

JUSTIFIED

"The Spoil," Justified

Here's the second batch in our weeklong countdown of 2011's best episodes...

It's hard to highlight a single episode of Margo Martindale's Emmy-winning season as Mags Bennett, but her rousing speech in "The Spoil." Martindale's effortless, smooth-as-Mags' homemade moonshine delivery reminds us how smart a villain she is, and how much of a fight she's willing to put up to protect her people's "way of livin' and dyin.'" And while Mags' icy mean streak didn't fully come out until the following episode, her actions in this hour put us on serious red alert.

Doctor Who 3

DOCTOR WHO

Here's the third batch in our weeklong countdown of 2011's best episodes...

"The Doctor's Wife," Doctor Who

It takes fantasy/horror/sci-fi author Neil Gaiman to pen an episode that is preposterous to describe, yet heartbreaking in that signature Doctor Who way. Through a series of convoluted and nefarious events, his time machine, aka the TARDIS, shuts down and its matrix disappears, only to be incarnated in a daffy lady named Idris. The Doctor always did call the TARDIS "old girl," right? He and the TARDIS-possessed woman reminisce, banter, flirt and even kiss, and by episode's end, we've bought into their longtime, intimate relationship. Too bad the TARDIS can't remain in that body or ever have a voice again, but the affection we feel for that big blue police box has doubled.

Vampire Diaries

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

Here's the fourth batch in our weeklong countdown of 2011's best episodes...

"The Sun Also Rises," The Vampire Diaries

The second season's penultimate episode was filled with tears, culminating in Klaus turning Aunt Jenna into a vampire before ultimately killing her. Worse, watching Elena lose her only semblance of a parent and knowing she was responsible for the death was wrenching. We've felt terror, hysteria, and laughed pretty darn hard while watching this show; this was the first time we sobbed.

Game 2

"Baelor," Game of Thrones

A pivotal event in this episode is so shockingly audacious that even now we'd like to issue a spoiler alert lest readers miss out on one of television's biggest surprises. HBO's epic fantasy series may have been hard to grasp at first -- a huge cast, foreign-sounding names, a feudal-type setting and baffling political intrigues -- but eventually we got to know the central characters, especially hero, patriarch and all-around upstanding fellow Ned Stark, played by Lord of the Rings' Sean Bean. We rooted for the morally high-minded right-hand man of the king, and so viewers could only watch (and rewind their DVRs) in disbelief as Ned was summarily beheaded in an act of betrayal -- with his two young daughters watching -- in a public square. What? Killing off someone who was supposedly the protagonist and emotional center of the show did not compute -- and drove home the fact that no one, not even the passive viewers, are untouched by the fantastical cruelty of this world conceived by author George R.R. Martin.

Smallville


SMALLVILLE


Here's the fifth batch in our weeklong countdown of 2011's best episodes...

"Finale," Smallville

It took 10 years for Clark Kent to become Superman, but the series finale soared as the Man of Steel (in his super suit at long last!) took flight. Like a proud parent, our hearts swelled as we watched Clark realize his full potential after a decade's worth of trials, and fittingly, both of his fathers (Jor-El and an apparition of Jonathan Kent) presented him with the cape before he took off to save the world once more...

JUSTIFIED - NEW YORK DAILY NEWS: Most Memorable TV Characters 2011


BY David Hinckley
Wednesday, December 28 2011


... Here’s our list of the 10 most memorable TV characters the year. They don't necessarily represent the best shows on TV, though in many cases and probably not by coincidence they do.

Not in any particular order:

Timothy Olyphant, “Justified,” FX.

Olyphant was splendid in HBO's “Deadwood,” and he’s taken it up another notch as sheriff Raylan Givens in this adaptation of Elmore Leonard stories.

Translating a great written character to flesh and blood is hard work, because so much of what happens in the imagination can get lost.

Olyphant ends up making Raylan richer, with a combination of casual confidence and just enough clay in his feet...

Justified season three premieres on FX on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 10/9C.

... Three Inches

9:00 PM, SYFY

Developed as a possible series but shelved in favor of the similarly themed but more serious "Alphas," this sci-fi pilot stars Noah Reid ("Franklin") as an underachiever who is struck by lightning and gains the ability to move things with his mind. Here's the catch: He can only move them a short distance, hence the show's title. He soon joins up with some other folks with not-so-super powers of their own. James Marsters and Stephanie Jacobsen also star.

FRINGE - ASSIGNMENT X: Exclusive Interview: Kirk Acevedo discusses the different worlds of PRIME SUSPECT and FRINGE

The actor also hints whether or not he'll be back on FRINGE


By ABBIE BERNSTEIN
December 28th, 2011


Bronx-born actor Kirk Acevedo has spent a good portion of his performing career playing people on one side or the other of the law. After costarring as a soldier in HBO’s landmark WWII miniseries BAND OF BROTHERS, Acevedo was a series regular in 46 episodes of HBO’s prison drama OZ as inmate Miguel Alvarez. He has guest-starred on the original LAW & ORDER, LAW & ORDER: SVU and LAW & ORDER: TRIAL BY JURY.

Even when he’s in genre fare, Acevedo seems to wind up in law-enforcement – he’s Fringe Division’s Charlie Francis in both universes on FRINGE. He’s also starring in Syfy’s upcoming TV movie COLLISION EARTH (no word yet on whether he’ll ditch the badge or not for this one) [NOTE: Premieres on Syfy Saturday, January 14, 2012 at 9/8C. Now he’s a series regular as NYPD police detective Luisito Calderon on NBC’s recently cancelled PRIME SUSPECT. Acevedo gives us the lowdown on his legal eagle roles...

... AX: Will you be back this season on FRINGE?

ACEVEDO: "I think I’m going to do two or three [this season]. They’re trying to work out the schedule."

AX: Has there been anything on either show that’s grossed you out at all?

ACEVEDO: "Oh, the roaches! Definitely roaches [on FRINGE]..."
