TV GUIDE: Critic's Guide to Weekend TV: Fringe, Primeval, A British Lunch and More!

... FRIDAY
Disorientation is nothing new for the loyal viewer — we hardy few — of Fox's fantastically bizarre Fringe (9/8c). So it's hardly a surprise in this week's compelling episode when the Fringe team hastens to blame a series of time-warping anomalies on the still-unexplained return of Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson) in their midst. Walter (John Noble) can barely even look at this grown-up manifestation of the son he lost, only calling him "Subject," and Olivia (Anna Torv) still doesn't know what to think or how to feel. But at the heart of this latest cosmic mystery is another cautionary tale about the effects of "shattering the laws of physics" to hold onto someone you love. Adding emotional oomph to the story is great guest work by real-life husband-wife Stephen Root (NewsRadio) and Romy Rosemont (Finn's mother on Glee) as a couple caught up in this crazy "time bubble."
