After last week's all-listener mail edition of the Firewall & Iceberg Podcast, Dan and I diversify a bit on this week's show, dealing with some current events (including the death of Leslie Nielsen) review a couple of this week's unscripted debuts, and then check in on "Fringe," which has a strong episode Thursday night: 

Leslie Nielsen -- 00:45 - 10:45
Oscar hosts -- 10:50 - 19:45
"Restrepo" (which Dan reviewed over the weekend) -- 19:50 - 25:55
"Top Chef All-Stars" -- 26:00 - 35:30
Reader Mail featuring "Parenthood" and "The Paul Reiser Show" -- 36:00 - 46:00
"Fringe" - 46:00 - 55:20

 

As always, you can subscribe to The Firewall & Iceberg Podcast over at the iTunes Store, where you can also rate us and comment on us. Or you can always follow our RSS Feed, download the MP3 file or stream it on Dan's blog.

And as always, feel free to e-mail us at sepinwall@hitfix.com and/or dan@hitfix.com if you have questions you want answered on the show. Please put the word "podcast" in your subject line to make it easy to track them down amid the hundreds of random press releases we get every day.

    While I like Peter a bit more then you too, I have also been a bit disapointed in the ways the handled the character- specifically about how easily he has gotten over the whole being born in another universe thing. first,he seems to have forgiven Walter way more easily then he should. Plus he met his actual mother over there and it didn't seem to affect him at all. You would think meeting his birth mother who looks exactly like mother who raised him and killed herself would bring about some chane in the character. But I guess it didn't bother him thy much
