(Except the series finale/ending, I give that to #12Monkeys and another one I can't remember right now.)
I lost track how many times I've rewatched Fringe. I still haven't found anything like it.
Some say #StrangerThings is like Fringe. Is it true? Does it beat it, or at last at par with it? I have yet to watch Stranger Things. Or, something else in your mind?
Oh yes! Doctor Who, StarGate, and Steins;Gate! They top in the time travel genre. They make sure that everything makes sense, instead of using retcon to fix something they missed (or did not understand at first).
@youronlyone@youronlyone@tv@tv@scifi Just the finally? I had that with the entire season 5. They knew it was the last season, they only got 13 episodes and it shows: It feels like a cheap spin-off or a fan fiction. Sure, given the great cast, we still have some great moments but it can't live up to previous seasons in my opinion.
Season 04 Episode 11 of Fringe featured the meeting of the two Agent Astrid Farnsworth, one an autistic and the other neurotypical.
This episode aired on 2012-02-04 and entitled “Making Angels”.
The autistic Agent Astrid Farnsworth came from the “Amber World” (the parallel world), and the NT Astrid is from the “Prime World” (our world basically).
The character is, I would say “basic” as far as portrayal of an autistic person. Some would say it's a stereotype. But I like her nonetheless because it was not exaggerated, and the focus was not on her autism instead it was about her many skills.
And in this episode, we saw through her that autistic people are humans too. That we have our own struggles, we do cry and feel emotions (contrary to the claims that we lack it), and we just want to live like everyone else.
The autistic Astrid was introduced in season 2 (2009–2010). The actress, Jasika Nicole, was praised for her performance of both the neurotypical and the autistic Agent Astrid.
How about you, what do you think of her character? How was the performance (specifically with autistic Astrid)?
