Fringe (TV2, 10.30, F) Questions will be answered as Peter confronts his destiny and a beloved team member meets an untimely demise in what Entertainment Weekly dubbed one of the “12 best cliffhangers of ’11” while the AV Club graded the season finale a B+:  “It may be that Fringe has bitten off more than it can chew here, and the storytelling is about to get hopelessly convoluted, as it often does once time-travel enters the picture. But for now, I’m going to enjoy living with and thinking over what I’ve seen so far. And I’m going to trust that no matter how crazy Fringe’s fourth season gets, the writers are going to keep bringing everything back to less mind-bending questions.” ✫✫✫✫✫
