This is the end, cortexifriends! This has been such a rewarding journey for us, and we have heard so many of your beautiful stories over the years sharing with us your appreciation not only for Fringe as a series but also for us as a podcast, and it's why we've done it. We kick things off with a really insightful conversation with Thomas Cadrot (whom we had known from our previous Debris podcast), who has a brief appearance in this series finale, and we then get into this absolutely beautiful and emotionally powerful conclusion to Fringe - especially (although definitely not exclusively) that scene - you know the one. This is truly how you end a series, and we, of course, share some truly wonderful feedback from listeners such as Angela from MA, Erin, Geoff (xforce11), Rory, Michael London, Jeff, Patty from Canadia, and ShelkyBean!

As sad as we are to be bringing the podcast to a close, we love and appreciate all of you and hope that you'll stay in touch. In the meantime, be sure to join our wrap party next week on Wednesday, September 9th (inadvertently Fringe's 18th anniversary as it premiered on September 9, 2008) at 8 p.m. eastern over at community.goldenspiralmedia.com/live! We will be enjoying some Fringe-inspired snacks, doing Fringe trivia, and more!

We are now, in every sense (technically, literally, etc.), on the ultimate penultimate episode of Fringe as we bring you "Liberty" AND soon to be death of the podcast. We are joined by special guest Marianne once again as we discuss this amazing episode of the series and its parallels to previous seasons and episodes. We also share some great feedback from Cortexifans including Rory, Anna (not Torv and also not The Numbers Lady), Erin, and ShelkyBean (The Numbers Lady)! Next up is the series finale of Fringe, "An Enemy of Fate," when it will just be the two of us, although we will be briefly joined by a very special guest for a brief discussion, so stay tuned for that! Be sure to reach out with your thoughts about the finale using one of the contact methods below. It's your final chance to be a part of our feedback section!

We are truly nearing the end, cortexifans - so much so that you could make the argument that, even though this isn't the penultimate episode of our podcast, we are covering the penultimate episode of the series given the fact that 5.12 and 5.13 aired together the same night as a two-hour finale. We talk about this incredibly important episode and all of the answers that it finally gives us alongside Fringe Connections creator Michael London, and we also share some, as always, incredible feedback from listeners such as Anna (not Torv), Rory, Geoff (xforce11), and ShelkyBean! Next up is "Liberty" when we will be joined once again by Marianne, so be sure to tune in for that and also to get your thoughts in while you still have time!
