I am – Hercules!!
Tonight Fox airs “Unearthed,” an episode of “Fringe” that Fox apparently ordered last season but somehow never got around to airing in 2009.
What’s bizarre is few people appear to have heard about this “lost” episode until a couple weeks ago. It isn’t on the first-season Blu-ray set, yet FBI man Charlie Francis, who met grisly death early in the second season, is still wandering around. And Astrid’s still got her season-one hair.
If I recall correctly, Fox came to order 22 episodes season-one epiosdes but only aired 20. Could another "lost" episode be rattling around in Fox's vaults somewhere?
Fox says:
After a teenage girl is pronounced brain dead, her mother takes her off life support, but when doctors operate quickly to remove her organs, the deceased girl shockingly awakens screaming an alphanumeric code. Equally as perplexing as her resurrection is that she is now somehow able to speak Russian and possesses classified information only a high-ranking soldier would know. While the girl's mind-bending condition intensifies, Walter dusts off some old lab videos and hypothesizes the unthinkable, sending Olivia and Peter to investigate the bewildering case in an original "Unearthed" episode of FRINGE and here's another mystery: is it an unaired episode from Season One or is it from an alternate universe? Cast: Anna Torv as Olivia Dunham; Joshua Jackson as Peter Bishop; John Noble as Walter Bishop; Lance Reddick as Phillip Broyles; Kirk Acevedo as Charlie Francis; Blair Brown as Nina Sharp; Jasika Nicole as Astrid Farnsworth.
Another, less puzzling new episode of “Fringe” airs Thursday.
9 p.m. Monday. Fox.
