    • 2011 September 24, Jeff Jensen, “Fringe season premiere recap: Get On Your (Re)Boots!”, in Entertainment Weekly:
      Now: “Neither Here Nor There,” last night’s season premiere of Fringe, synthesized key elements of past premieres to launch a rebooted Fringeverse, one where many of the archetypes and events (surprisingly) remain much the same, with one profound exception: Peter Bishop has been scrubbed from history, apparently from the point of his childhood death.

      The Fringeverse, as fans called the Universe created around Fringe, is richer with the comic books since they provide new insights on who William Bell and Walter Bishop really are and how they are related to the Fringe events.
