Popular Mechanics pokes holes in the mole man

It seems that we were not the only ones who thought last week’s episode of Fringe was… well… a bit of a stretch. One reader submitted this great piece from Popular Mechanics where they take a long hard look at the episode’s science… and come away disappointed. If for no other reason than a good Monday laugh, take a look here.

Recap of last night’s Fringe

So, that was a crazy episode last night, eh? A mole man who has somehow been cooked up in a backroom home lab kit by randomly mixing scorpion and mole dna with a human embryo. Interesting plot device, but not anywhere near accurate. We even put together another film for you to share in all we learned last night. Have a look below and let us know what you think!

Coming up on Fringe this week (or… Monday’s spoilers)

We got up this morning hoping to find some Fringe spoilers, and were excited to see that Fox is now supplying them to us – without intermediaries. Nice. At least we know they’re probably reliable, seeing as how they’re the ones airing the episode, right?

According to their own preview video, Agent Dunham is up and out of the hospital – this time, trying to solve a series of missing persons cases with the help of the intrepid Bishop Jr. Until (of course) something goes horribly wrong. In this particular instance, Dunham is attacked by the serial killer who (stay with me here) is a mole man. Yes. A mole man.

So what do you think? Is this just a fun kickback to the 1950s-era drive-thru’s? Or do you have some thoughts as to how such a mole man would develop/evolve/mutate? We’d love to hear about ‘em… because we’ve just been sitting here giggling at the mole man motif all morning. Let us know your theory here in the comments below, shoot us an email or tweet us what you think!
