Fringe Review, Season 5, Episode 10: “Anomaly Xb-6783746”
Written by David Fury
Directed by Jeffrey Hunt
Fringe has a tradition of doing at least one surrealist episode per season and this year, that episode is “Black Blotter”. As in “Brown Betty”, the noir-inspired musical episode from season two, Walter gets high and the episode around him reflects his mental state. Then it was with a potent strain of marijuana, here he’s on acid.

Walter has dropped acid, which makes this one trippy, non-linear episode.
Astrid wakes in the middle of the night to find the radio they retrieved from the pocket universe is receiving a transmission. It is a Morse code of sorts, but one that Astrid cannot decipher.
