Women on Fringe

Fringe is a show that I have just recently started rewatching. I watched with my mother when it was on tv, and now my boyfriend wanted to watch it. While it has its problems, I do still think it's a great show, and has great characters.

Fringe intertitle.pngFringe is a sci-fi show, and I'm really glad that it has three female characters in major and minor roles. There is Olivia Dunhamn, Astrid Farnsworth, and Nina Sharp. They are all incredibly strong female characters.

Olivia Dunham (right) is a strong FBI agent with an unfortunate past. She tends to think and act emotionally. This is only to the dismay of Harris, who wants her fired at all costs. He hates her because she arrested him for sexual assault. Everyone else on her team are grateful for her emotional thinking. Thanks to it, she solves all her cases and truly take the initiative.

Astrid Farnsworth (left) is also an FBI agent. Unlike Olivia, she does not typically work in the field but in the lab, assisting Walter, an incredibly smart scientist.

Nina  Sharp (lower right) is the CEO of a large company call Massive Dynamic. She is older and has a robotic hand, but she doesn't let that, or anything for that matter, stop her.
