Fringe Binge 2012

      Email Post       1/31/2012 11:00:00 PM      

The Fringe Binge in December was such a success, it has returned in 2012.
Except this time, instead of watching 65 episodes, the total number of binge episodes will decide on which episodes Fringe fans vote for. See below and save the dates!


VOTE for the Fringe episodes you want to see during the FRINGE BINGE MINI MARATHON!


That’s right, by popular demand, FRINGE BINGE will return from Friday, March 2 through Sunday, March 4 - a worldwide simultaneous home rewatch of YOUR favorite episodes!

We had so much fun over the holidays watching all episodes of FRINGE, that we can’t wait to do it again! We’ve tentatively scheduled the next marathon event for the first spring hiatus weekend after February sweeps. This time, we’ll be re-watching viewer’s choice of episodes from Season 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The whole idea is to just have a simultaneous worldwide FRINGE-a-thon where we’re more or less watching the same episodes in the same order at the exact same moment across all time zones. During the marathon, we’ll also live tweet and check in on GetGlue too!

The Mini Marathon will start at 9 p.m. Eastern on Friday, March 2 and continue throughout the weekend nonstop until early Sunday evening. (As before, international schedules will be made available.)

What Fringe episodes do you want to re-watch? VOTE NOW!

Fringe Observiews 4.10 Forced Perspective

      Email Post       1/31/2012 12:18:00 PM      


Welcome to the Observiews for Season 4 of Fringe. I call them Observiews because they are more visual observations than deep thinking reviews, if that makes sense

Screen caps from this episode are taken from fringefiles.com and DVD. Dialog is from fringepedia.net/transcripts.

All observations are mine and therefore could be totally off the wall and/or wrong. I have not read or looked at any recaps or reviews. I could also have missed a few things, oh well…

3.17 Stowaway
BELL: “Hmm. Peter, your father wouldn't want to hear me say this, but even if he does find out more about this machine, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be able to prevent the events depicted in that picture. I mean, that just could simply be your fate.”
PETER: “Thankfully, I don't believe in fate. Whatever Walternate's plans are for me, I promise you, I'm not getting in that machine.”
BELL: “Son, it is not always that simple. I've lived a long time, Peter. So believe me when I tell you that sometimes when one walks away from his fate, it leads one directly to fate's doorstep.”

I wonder...

La Machine Infernale, The Three Stigmata Of Walter Bishop, Or: Out Of The Gnostic Frying Pan And Into The Fire

Know all things to be like this:
As a magician makes illusions of horses, oxen, carts, and other things, nothing is as it appears.

– The Buddha

Not everything is as it seems.
– Secretary Bishop


Another dream.

Once again, Peter seems to have placed himself in the best of all possible worlds, a world even better and more emotionally fulfilling than the one he remembers. Like the first vision, it begins as a heavenly idyll but ultimately collapses, the first time because of Peter and this time because of a machine. Anyone seeing a pattern?

There’s one thing that I think is important to keep in mind, though, and that is that it’s not just Peter’s dream. These visions reflect the lives that all three characters aspire to and long for. Consider the fact that two of these people started to similarly visualize the third before they even knew who he was. In other words:

All three characters are dreaming the same dream.

Fringe Review: “Forced Perspective”

      Email Post       1/31/2012 04:27:00 AM      


“Do you believe in fate?”

Forced perspective manipulates a viewer’s perception to create a visual illusion. Fringe, however, likely isn’t referring to a tourist’s snapshot of her boyfriend holding up the leaning tower of Pisa. Rather, Fringe is referring to three specific ways of grappling with both the freak-of-the-week plot and the larger thematic issues of Season Four:

Fringe Episode 4.10 Review - Forced Perspective - Deconstructed

      Email Post       1/28/2012 02:47:00 PM      

Nina is going to fix Olive.
This episode was definitely low-key, as the focus was shifted to Olivia facing her fate, in the aftermath of the bald man's warning of her impending demise.

What it did was to give her another new layer. She is within character as she tries to hide her pain (migraines) and concerns from all the people who care about her. We have Olivia taking control of her destiny. Despite knowing that the observer experienced the future where she has to die, she may not die at all. She may even save herself. That's why this is science fiction. Besides if William Bell can cheat death once...
Nothing is written in stone.
We don't have to die today.
Emily Mallum has a precognitive ability that allows her to predict death. She uses her natural gift to warn people, even if she had not been able to prevent the inevitable from happening. The closest analogy to the previous season is The Ghost Network. No matter what the science was used to explain how she can see the future, like Roy McComb, she was a receiver for such echoes in time.

Not all of the gadgets and references, from the past, worked for me, even after the second time I watched it. It was just not necessary. The plot hole here was with Albert Duncan. If his anger was directed only at the judge, then having the larger yield explosive was overkill.

Random Thoughts...

Do you recognize the throw pillows in the above image? They once belonged in the alternate universe Dunham apartment.

Nina Sharp was going to cook with her gloves on. I like to see her handle the ingredients like that.

Not only does Phillip Broyles know everything. He tells Nina everything he knows. Are those two still intimate?

A mention of first people was not used in the same context.

lake house also represented happier times.

Emily's last drawing in the park, had Olivia looking on like an observer. The scene is somewhat different than the previous images as the subjects depicted did not all die.

An observer standing outside Olivia's apartment at a key moment in time. Any guesses what that maybe? I think Nina is going to enhance her.

Massive Dynamic is the likely 'we' Broyles said who was tracking for the strange bald me. Doesn't seem like something the FBI would commit their resources to without just cause. And it wouldn't be just for the last three years, with the numerous sightings.

Peter has already arrived at the conclusion that it will not work for him. Don't have enough facts to even wonder about this.

Fringe Twitter and GetGlue Campaign for 410, "Forced Perspective"-Wake Up and ObserveItLive!

      Email Post       1/27/2012 08:48:00 AM      


(many thanks to Arturo Garcia for making the awesome video)

Happy Fringe Friday everyone!

Last Friday's Fringe Twitter and GetGlue campaign was quite successful(see post from 01/20/12).
Fringe trended at #1 on the GetGlue.com site(more on GetGlue below).

Tonight, the Fringedom wants to try to get the hashmark #ObserveItLive to trend on Twitter starting at 7PM Eastern, that's 2 hours before the new episode airs, and then again at 7PM Pacific time.

Why? Because we know that ratings isn't just about Nielsen boxes anymore. TV networks and their contractors pay attention to which TV shows are 'socially-active' and our show Fringe is very socially-active
on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and other venues.

Why continue this effort again? Last Friday's event catapaulted Fringe in multiple social media platforms, and we need to keep Fringe visible in these platforms in the weeks ahead.

Please consider joining in tonight at 7PM Eastern and 7PM Pacific to support your favorite show by signing into Twitter and using the #ObserveItLive hashmark.

If you are not familiar with Twitter, you can create an new account rather painlessly at http://www.twitter.com/.

For more information on this week's special Fringe Twitter event click here.

You can also adopt a special icon for this event by clicking here.

Just a reminder. Please do not tweet with the #ObserveItLive hashmark until 7PM Eastern, to increase the likelihood of trending.

Let's invade Twitter tonight, and make our hashmark and our show trend!



***ButWait! There's more!***
Another social network platform that needs our attention tonight is GetGlue.com.

If you are not familiar with getglue.com it is a very clever advertising site married to social networking.
GetGlue merges fans with their interests, and their interests' sponsors.

If you have a GetGlue account you can "check-in" to Fringe. The shows that get the most check-ins are highly visible to the networks and the show's sponsors.
Tonight, use the phrase "Pea Coat" when you check into Fringe via getglue.com.
Let's see if we can get that phrase to trend at #1!
Remember not to use the phrase "Pea Coat" until about 7PM Eastern and Pacific, in an effort to increase the chance of it trending.

You can also look up Fringe's sponsors on GetGlue, check-in to them, ie. Nissan Leaf, Sprint, etc., and thank them for supporting Fringe. Think it doesn't make a difference? Guess again.
Let’s make it a combined effort to not only check-in to the show, but to also check-in to the show’s advertisers and comment, “Thank You for your support of Fringe! @FringeOnFox”

If you don’t have a Getglue account, get one! You can post your check-ins to Twitter or Facebook.

The more activity, the better, as this may also get other Fringies involved in the GetGlue check-ins.
 GetGlue also has convenient mobile phone aps for iphone, Android, and Blackberry.


So please, enjoy the new episode tonight, and support high visibility of your show by tweeting on Twitter with the special hashmark, and checking into Fringe at getglue.com and thanking at least 1 of tonight's many sponsors. Your efforts will not go unrewarded, and may help increase our chances of getting a Season 5.
Go FRINGE!

TV.com Throwdown, the Results Show: Which J.J. Abrams Show is Better, Lost or Fringe?
By Tim Surette
Remind me never to ever make Lost or Fringe the subject of Throwdown again. You guys commented in record numbers for the feature, amassing more than 600 responses. And for the most part, the discussion was remarkably civil and only devolved into fanboy name-calling toward the end. But I don't see that as hostility, I see that as a sign of passion (and maybe a little bit of "daddy didn't love you enough").

It was great to see all the love for Fringe and Lost. The majority of you really liked both shows, and I got a kick out of all the "Don't make me choose!" responses. But think of it as practice for the next time you're in a concentration camp and the German guard says you can only take one of your children (Sophie's Choice, anyone?). Also, a lot of you with Fringe user icons chose Lost, and vice versa. To me, that's a testament to how good both shows are.

But in the end, the winner was... Fringe, by a vote of 219 to 143. There were lots of disclaimers because Fringe hasn't ended, and some people were turned off by Lost's finale. Fringe supporters cited its sci-fi roots, question-answering, and more time spent with a smaller cast. Those who favored Lost noted its ability to change the way we watch television, its spirituality, its social impact, and its abundance of stellar episodes. As for my stance, I'm going to side with the 17 folks who copped out and said "both." Yeah, yeah, I'm a wuss. I know. But when I look at the pros and cons of both shows, I see them as even. I'm a million-percent invested in Fringe and love the way it makes me think, but I'll never forget how I felt about Lost and how it changed me as a television viewer.

Let's take a look at the results in pie-graph form, because that's what Mr. Eko would have wanted us to do.

On the Hijinks Ensue blog for this strip, they comment further on thier love for Fringe:
Sorry, non-Fringe fans. Not because you don’t get this comic, but because you aren’t enjoying the best show on TV. This will likely be Fringe’s final season (a year sooner than J.J. Abrams would like), due to it being too fantastic to be profitable. This seems to be the fate of all original, thought-provoking, well acted (extremely well acted in the case of John “Please let me curl up in your grandpa cheeks” Noble), well produced sci-fi on television. Any show that refuses to dumb down it’s intensely complicated, yet expertly executed premise in order to reach a wider audience just isn’t commercially viable on TV. More...

Fringe: Michelle Krusiec Talks Her Shapeshifter Role and the Show

Fringe: Michelle Krusiec Talks Her Shapeshifter Role and the Show
Written By Nadine Ramsden
January 26th, 2012 

If you’ve been watching Fringe this season, then you’ll recognize Michelle Krusiec as the actress who played one of the new, human shapeshifters. If you haven’t been watching, maybe Michelle herself can convince you to give it a shot! Michelle took the time to chat with us this week about her experiences on Fringe: covering everything from how the show is like an illicit drug to what it’s like to play a superhuman. Michelle also reveals the previously-unknown “shapeshifter” name of her character. The shapeshifter has been known only as Nadine, who was first introduced in the season premiere, and was seen most recently in last week’s episode “Enemy Of My Enemy”. I will say that I myself am curious as hell about what the shapeshifter name may signify…
And now I’ll let you get on to the good stuff:

TVOvermind: Had you been a fan of Fringe before working on the show?
Michelle Krusiec: I can't honestly call myself a fan prior to working on it, because that would make the real fans pretty upset since they are true fans. I watched the pilot and I was intrigued, but I'm not an avid TV watcher. Mostly because of time and lack of it, nothing to do with the show itself. I remember watching Fringe randomly one night earlier this season and I was totally confused by the two Olivias, but still, I was intrigued, and wondered what in the world the storyline was about!

What was it like to work on the show?
I was really giddy with excitement because it's a J.J. Abrams show and my character was just so awesome. I was told she was a new breed of shapeshifter, but I had no idea what the hell that really meant, in terms of the show's mythology; I got to work and started watching as many episodes as I could. The first episode I was in, I was mostly dead, and since it was raining in Vancouver, I basically watched 36 back-to-back episodes. I felt like some junkie hopped up in my hotel room. My curtains were drawn. I'd watch it in bed, from the bathtub, with room service. I couldn't stop watching it. I was completely hooked, and in complete awe of the storyline.

I'm such a sucker for sci fi because my Dad and I bonded over them growing up. Whenever sci fi is at its best, it makes you examine morality, ethics and the human condition: it really brings to light great questions and theoreticals about mankind and behavior. In the case of Fringe, I was really struck by this notion of how one man's mistakes affect two universes and the people in them. The way the writers explored these questions while still maintaining a procedural show was impressive to me. And then to top it off, the calibre of acting on the show was so striking. I felt like I had won the lottery to be invited onto the show.

What are some of your favorite memories and experiences from working on Fringe?
Some of my favorite moments include getting my face scanned for the digital effects and seeing a 3D version of my face on the computer. And I loved my character's name "Seven" because it's just a badass name.

I loved playing with the guns. I took that very seriously. I felt that a shapeshifter would move differently than humans and I wanted to be completely collected when I was operating firearms. I practiced rolling around on the floor and shooting, which I never did in the show, and the firearms expert even told me while I was doing it, “they probably won’t ask you to do that,” but I’d just keep on rolling around on the floor. Basically, any time I got to kick ass, I was giddy with excitement because Seven has superhuman abilities and you just don't get a chance to play characters like that very often. I was a little jealous whenever I had to shapeshift into another human being though, because another actor played that part. But it was also really awesome to see how they lined up my face with the other actress Lori Triolo's face so they could shift our faces together. It was odd how our features were actually very similar on camera. Who would have guessed I'd have Italian features?

Doing the shapeshifting in and out of characters was more challenging than I expected because it had to be subtle and it’s mostly digital effects so your face is like a canvas. The first time I did it, I just went crazy and after my first take the director Joe Chapelle just said, "Uh, make it smaller." That made me laugh, because I think I may have gone a little overboard with it. All the other shapeshifters made it look so painful, so I thought I was doing exactly what I'd seen on the show, but I was mistaken. There's a great scene where Seven is injecting herself with the formula to correct her genetic mutation that's preventing her from shapeshifting on command. I loved shooting in that bathroom because it was a small little space and any kind of transformation scene like that for an actor is really fun to do.

I also loved seeing Gene the cow. I wish I had taken a photo with her now… Can you tell that I had a blast shooting this show?

J.J. Abrams Talks ALCATRAZ, Serialized Storytelling, the Final Season of FRINGE, and Upcoming TV Projects

by Christina Radish
Posted:January 23rd, 2012 at 3:14 pm

The new Fox drama series Alcatraz follows a unique trio investigating the mystifying reappearance of 302 the most notorious prisoners and guards, 50 years after they vanished. As San Francisco Police Department Detective Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones) and Alcatraz expert and comic book enthusiast Dr. Diego Soto (Jorge Garcia) help government agent Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill) and his associate, Lucy Banerjee (Parminder Nagra), piece together the inexplicable sequence of events, they ultimately discover a much larger, more sinister present-day threat.

While at the TCA Winter Press Tour, executive producer J.J. Abrams talked about what intrigued him about the premise of this series, the changes they decided to make to the original pilot, why serialization has become a dirty word for TV, and that this was designed as episodic with an over-arcing large story and mythology stories that they’ll get to, over time. He also talked about how hopeful he is that Fringe will get renewed for at least one more season, said that Eric Kripke (Supernatural) is doing a great job developing the Revolution pilot that he will be producing, and that he is excited to be working with One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwahn on a show in the vein of Felicity. Check out what he had to say after the jump:

.
What’s your sense about the likelihood of Fringe getting another season?
ABRAMS: I don’t know. For some sick reason, I’m hopeful. There is some stuff coming up that is so great. They’re doing such amazing work. Maybe it’s just that dumb optimism of hoping that, when good work is done, it gets rewarded. Some of the work that Jeff [Pinkner] and Joel [Wyman] are working on now is so good that I’m just crossing my fingers it gets to continue. And, if not on Fox, maybe somewhere else.

Has Fox given you any indication that they would give you a heads up before canceling the show, so that you can make sure things get wrapped up?
ABRAMS: I would think that, if the show was going to end, they’ve been so wonderful and incredibly supportive and really aware of the audience that they have and don’t have, I’m sure they would be courteous enough to do that.

What can fans expect from Fringe, for the remainder of this season?
ABRAMS: I don’t want to talk about anything specific that’s coming. But Joel Wyman, one of the showrunners, directed an episode that is incredibly romantic and powerful and emotional, and has my favorite combination of weird and sweet, sci-fi and romance.

Are you planning an endgame, story wise?
ABRAMS: Not in the immediate future. My dream would be that the next year would be the great ending for the show, to have one more season, but of course, any producer would say that.

Fringe Sneak Peek 410 "Forced Perspective"

Up until now we haven't called them anything.

'Fringe' Star Joshua Jackson: Cancelation 'Might Not Be Death'

      Email Post       1/23/2012 10:40:00 AM      

It's times like these that having Observers in our world would be really handy. One way or the other, looking into the future would put a lot of fans' fears at ease, now that "Fringe" faces the very serious threat of cancellation following its currently airing fourth season.

At the Television Critics Association press tour earlier this month, Fox president Kevin Reilly confessed that the network loses "a lot of money on the show," and that Fox is "not in the business of losing money." Worrying comments indeed, so much so that members of the show's cast — including Joshua Jackson, who plays Peter Bishop — are preparing for the inevitable end.


"My gut says that the head of Fox doesn't go on national television and says 'I'm not in the business of losing money' as a joke," Jackson laughed while speaking with MTV News at the Sundance Film Festival.

Jackson, who's in Park City for his new movie "Lay the Favorite," believes that "Fringe" is just as strong quality-wise as it's ever been. But with the series in the midst of its all-time lowest ratings, the actor admitted that "Fringe" is now "in that awkward place of being on the bubble — or under the bubble, as the case might be."

But all hope is not lost, according to Jackson.


"I think there's a possibility that if people just watched the show on the day and date, and if the numbers came back, [renewal] is a possibility," he said. "They've talked about maybe going off network with it, too. The TV landscape is a different place than it used to be, so [cancelation on Fox] might not be death."

Jackson added that whether or not "Fringe" gets canceled, the only thing that matters to him — "beyond the selfishness of not wanting to lose my job" — is ensuring that there's enough time to finish the story.

"The only thing that would piss me off about being canceled is if we brought people along for all these years — and they've been so dedicated and really stuck with the show — and we didn't finish it up," he said.

To that end, Jackson said that there's still plenty of time to wrap up "Fringe" in this current season, given that they're only up to hour 16 of the fourth season's 22-episode order.

"I don't know how many hours it would take to implement the [writers' end game], but we have plenty of hours left," he said. "I think if we found out [about the show's future] in the next several weeks, there would be no problem getting to what the ending is supposed to be."

"There's Always Hope, Right?": Season 5 Discussions Underway, J.J. Abrams 'Hopeful' Show Will Be Back

When Fox president Kevin Reilly told journalists earlier this month that he’s essentially losing money on Fringe, he wasn’t just putting the show’s rabid fans on notice that a fifth season is far from a slam dunk, he was sending the following message to Warner Bros. Television: The ball’s in your court.

Basically, in order for Fox to justify renewing the low-rated cult fave, Warner Bros. would have to agree to drastically reduce the show’s license fee (i.e. the amount the studio charges the network for each episode).

But what’s that magic number? Sources confirm that both sides are currently trying to hash that out. “We remain hopeful that Fringe will be able to continue,” co-creator J.J. Abrams tells TVLine.

Warner Bros. no doubt remains even more hopeful. A fifth season would put Fringe at or very close to 100 episodes, a milestone that would enhance the show’s syndication prospects. (A studio rep declined to comment.)

The clock is ticking, but not as quickly as one might think. If this does turn out to be Fringe‘s final season, it wouldn’t actually impact producers’ Season 4 end game.

“Worst case scenario, if this were the last aired season of Fringe… we know what the end of this season is going to be,” EP Jeff Pinkner recently told TVLine, ”and it can function as a series finale.”

“You don’t know me, or what I’m capable of.”

Peter has finally succeeded at what he intended to do: bridging the gap between Over Here and Over There. At the end of Season Three, Peter put everything on the line to broker a peace between the two universes—and we all know how that turned out. Now, Peter’s wildcard status has brought both sides together to fight a common foe. As the saying goes, the enemy of my…oh.

Fringe Episode 4.09 Review - Clues Are Out There

      Email Post       1/21/2012 04:21:00 PM      


It did not surprise me that David Robert Jones has ties to Nina Sharp. I cannot wait to see what her endgame is.

Enemy of My Enemy is full of subtext.

I never imagined the other Elizabeth would pay Walter a visit. If it were not for the current scenario, the same momentous meeting would only be an impossibility.

Interesting to note that the other Walter was also plagued by his own guilt and helplessness twenty-six years ago, albeit with a lot less vindication.
Well, the outcome is still the same.
I couldn't save our son then.
And I can't help him now.
Peter should rest assured that. deep down, any versions of his father is a good man.

Colonel Broyles' duplicity in regards to Jones. A slight tell, a disdain on his face when Jones asked for tea in interrogation. This tells me that he is acting under duress. Ask yourselves what could make a man betray his commander.

So... Jones is also a variable in this universe. When he succeeded in crossing over to the other side, it's plausible Peter must have been sucked through one of the holes that formed the moment he disengaged from the machine.


Random Thoughts and Meanings...

Alternate Olivia eventually broke up with Frank. And it's blue universe Lincoln finds it amusing that Olivia has a close relationship with his double. Look out, red Lincoln may have competition. Funny looking face.

Blue Lincoln shouting out "FRINGE DIVISION!" He's using their war cry.

Gene is a changed cow. There are less spots on the animal.

Alternate Astrid impressed that the man Peter is from another timeline. Cool.

The collective sneers across the boardroom table, at their Fringe Division counterparts. That was priceless. That scene also makes me wonder who had called for the accord between the universes.

Nothing gets by Broyles. That's one more thing he has in common with his alter ego. You know?

Thoughts on Continuity...

The SUV Olivia was driving when they arrive at the quarry had bullet impacts. The one severed by the dimensional portal had a clean windshield.

How did Peter retain so much about the properties of those rocks? By the time Olivia crossed over to get Peter in season 2's Over There, no one knew how William Bell crossed over.


Last Word

Just like what Secretary Bishop said last week. Not everything is as it seems.

Fringe Season 4: 5 Questions About “Enemy of My Enemy”

Fringe Season 4: 5 Questions About “Enemy of My Enemy”
Saturday, January 21st, 2012 at 7:30am
by Graeme McMillanFeature, Television

It’s possible that, by this point, you’re wondering just who we’re supposed to be rooting for in Fox’s Fringe, and last night’s episode “Enemy of My Enemy” might have just confused matters even more by bringing back a bad guy who really should’ve been dead. Five questions about the episode? That’s just for starters…

What Is David Robert Jones Up To?

So we know that Jones has the potential – or, at least the material – to “blow a hole in the universe” multiple times over, but why would he want to? Given that he can apparently travel between universes at will – and has the ability to deploy shapeshifters throughout at least two universes – why would he want to destroy one (or more)? And what does this have to do with whatever Nina is up to…? “Enemy of My Enemy” gave us lots of clues about what Jones’ agenda was, but nothing even approaching a real answer… Instead, all we got are far more questions (The one that feels like it’s either the key to the whole thing or a massive red herring: Jones has apparently discovered a way to duplicate William Bell’s ability to synthesize the material necessary to make his universe-shattering bomb – Is this an allusion to his working with forces within Massive Dynamic, or are we supposed to read more into Bell’s now-mysterious-again disappearance in this timeline?). Frustrating? Definitely… but kind of compelling, too.


What Is Happening With Olivia?

And while we’re talking about Nina… Whatever she’s up to in regards to Olivia seems to be part of Jones’ plan, if that final scene is anything to go by. Going by clues in previous episodes, Olivia is continuing her cortexephan trials without knowing it, and all under Nina’s manipulation, but to what end? Is Olivia’s latent ability to travel between universes unaided the key to Jones’ entire plan… and if so, does that explain why the Observer told her that she had to die last week? Is killing Olivia, and removing the one person who can naturally travel around the multiverse the only way to keep the multiverse from being destroyed?

Fringe: Scoop on Olivia's Doomed Fate, Peter's Exit Plan, David Robert Jones' Endgame and More
by Matt Webb Mitovich

Last week’s episode of Fox’s Fringe – as an ersatz fall finale is want to do — left viewers with many questions. For one, what’s up with the Observer’s very dire premonition about Olivia? What is big bad David Robert Jones’ endgame? And is Peter’s plan still to get out of Dodge? Though everyone was traditionally cryptic, here is what TVLine was able to glean from series bosses J.K. Wyman and Jeff Pinkner and star lead Joshua Jackson.

TVLINE
The Observer warning Olivia that she must die — is that tied to an existing plot point, or is it kicking off a new storyline?
J.K. WYMAN
Not to use the word “recontextualize” as we often do [Laughs], but it will make you look at things that you’ve seen in a little bit of a different way.
JEFF PINKNER
We have been already laying tracks this season for stuff that will become more and more clear as the season goes on.


TVLINE
Does Olivia’s doomed fate have to do with her recent migraines?
PINKNER
It may… perhaps. You knew we were go to say perhaps.


TVLINE
Will Olivia share this grim forecast with her team?
JOSHUA JACKSON
It… becomes evident. It comes up.



TVLINE
Is this, like, just a way to balance things out and give Anna Torv her own job security “scare,” after telling Joshua Jackson last spring that Peter was going to cease to exist?
PINKNER
Oh, all of our actors are pretty comfortable with their job security. We love all of our children equally.



TVLINE
Speaking of Olivia: When will we pick up the Nina Sharpe thread? When last seen, she had some goons inject her “daughter figure” with a drug….
PINKNER
Very soon. We try very hard to plan things and then attend to them, and not just ignore them for weeks and weeks and weeks.


TVLINE
What is David Robert Jones’ “uberplan”? When will it become evident?
WYMAN
Soon enough. We’re well into it now.
PINKNER
For the people who have been watching closely, there are already some hints as to what his plans are.

Enemy Mine: Fringe Twitter and GetGlue Campaign For 4×09

      Email Post       1/20/2012 09:30:00 AM      


Happy Fringe Friday everyone!
Last Friday's Fringe Twitter campaign was quite successful(see post from 01/13/12).
Not only did #CrossTheLine trend #3 worldwide, #Fringe even made it to the US trends. #CrossTheLine made #1 in Brazil and Spain. Trended in Chile, Germany, France and.... Vancouver, Canada!

Tonight, the Fringedom wants to try to get the hashmark #EnemyOfMyEnemy to trend  on Twitter starting at 7PM Eastern, that's 2 hours before the new episode airs, and then again at 7PM Pacific time.

Why? Because we know that ratings isn't just about Nielsen boxes anymore. TV networks and their contractors pay attention to which TV shows are 'socially-active' and our show Fringe is very socially-active
on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and other venues.
Why continue this effort again? Last Friday's event catapaulted Fringe in multiple social media platforms, and we need to keep Fringe visible in these platforms.

Please consider joining in tonight at 7PM Eastern and 7PM Pacific to support your favorite show by signing into Twitter and using the #EnemyOfMyEnemy hashmark.

If you are not familiar with Twitter, you can create an new account rather painlessly at http://www.twitter.com/.

For more information on this week's special Fringe Twitter event click here.

You can also adopt a special icon for this event by clicking here.

Just a reminder. Please do not tweet with the #EnemyOfMyEnemy hashmark until 7PM Eastern, to increase the likelihood of trending.

Let's invade Twitter tonight, and make our hashmark and our show trend!



***ButWait! There's more!***

Another social network platform that needs our attention tonight is GetGlue.
If you are not familiar with getglue.com it is a very clever advertising site married to social networking.
GetGlue merges fans with their interests, and their interests' sponsors.

If you have a GetGlue account you can "check-in" to Fringe. The shows that get the most check-ins are highly visible to the networks and the show's sponsors.

You can also look up Fringe's sponsors on GetGlue, check-in to them, ie. Nissan Leaf, and thank them for supporting Fringe. Think it doesn't make a difference. Guess again.

If you don’t have a Getglue account, get one! You can post your check-ins to Twitter or Facebook.
The more activity, the better, as this may also get other Fringies involved in the GetGlue check-ins. GetGlue also has convenient mobile phone aps for iphone, Android and Blackberry.

Let’s make it a combined effort to not only check-in to the show, but to also check-in to the show’s advertisers and comment, “Thank You for your support of Fringe! @FringeOnFox”




So please, enjoy the new episode tonight, and support high visibility of your show by tweeting on Twitter with the special hashmark, and checking into Fringe at getglue.com and thanking at least 1 of tonight's many sponsors. Your efforts will not go unrewarded. GO FRINGE!











Anna Torv: Why Haven’t They Given Her An Emmy Already?

Anna Torv: Why Haven’t They Given Her An Emmy Already?
01/19/12
by Michelle Ealey

I have come to terms that major Hollywood awards are not going away anytime in the foreseeable future. While I do not mean to take away anything from previous winners and nominees, I have noticed that the Emmys have a tendency to nominate many of the same individuals and shows year after year. Some shows and performances are worthy of such repetition, demonstrating the consistency of a program’s quality. However, some of the repeat nominations are habit, which frustrates me because a lot of talent ends up getting ignored. One example of ignored talent is Anna Torv, star of ‘Fringe.’ While the entire cast of ‘Fringe’ is exceptional and one of the best currently on air, Torv deserves individual recognition for her work as Olivia Dunham — all six versions of Olivia Dunham. Over the course of the show’s four seasons, Torv has portrayed six incarnations of Olivia, giving each distinct characteristics.
The unique nature of ‘Fringe’ has provided the opportunities for Torv to explore different facets of her character. ‘Fringe’ deals with parallel universes; there is a version of each of us in this world and an alternate universe. Because Dr. Walter Bishop wanted to cure his son, he created a way to travel to the other universe and bring that universe’s Peter here. Over time, the rip Walter created damaged the alternate universe and weakened the barrier between the two worlds. As the universes became aware of each other, the writers created more Olivias to develop the story. The six Olivias are: our universe Olivia Dunham, Alt-Olivia, Fauxlivia, Olivia who thinks she’s Alt-Olivia, Future Olivia, and Peter-less timeline Olivia.

In the pilot, Torv establishes who Olivia is immediately. She is in a relationship, but she is not sappy about it. Olivia can work without obsessing over her boyfriend every three minutes. When her boyfriend John is injured, she does not plead with someone to save him and sit by his side. Instead, Olivia researches John’s condition and finds Dr. Bishop’s work. When Broyles insists Olivia get Peter Bishop to release Walter from the mental institution, she goes to Iraq. Olivia tries a personal appeal, but Peter denies her request, so Olivia basically blackmails him, and Peter believes her bluff. Although she barely understands Walter’s explanation of the procedure, Olivia has the courage to allow Walter to put her in the sensory deprivation tank so she can communicate with John. The pilot shows Olivia is capable, intelligent, strong, determined, and proactive. These traits are why Broyles is impressed with her work and wants her to lead the Fringe division, giving her “anything, anybody” she needs. Broyles thinks Olivia’s skills are the best for the division, and he is proven correct as Olivia regularly demonstrates her abilities as a leader for the rest of the season and duration of the show.

We meet Alt-Olivia briefly in “Over There (Parts 1 & 2).” Alt-Olivia is not the leader of the Fringe division in the alternate universe, but she is a valuable member of the task force. She is smart and tough, but she is relaxed and laughs easily; she cracks jokes with Lincoln and Charlie on their way to investigate an anomaly. Alt-Olivia is in a fun and loving relationship with Frank Stanton, a doctor. She doesn’t have our Olivia’s recall ability, but she is athletic; she competed in the Olympics and won a medal for marksmanship.

Alt-Olivia becomes Fauxlivia at the end of “Over There (Part 2),” after she accepts the mission assigned to her by Walternate: pretend to be our universe’s Olivia. Fauxlivia is a willing soldier in Walternate’s crusade against our universe. Accepting Walternate’s assignment changes Alt-Olivia; Fauxlivia is harsh and has a cruel edge, but can still smile readily, which is one of the reasons Peter falls for her. We see all sides of Fauxlivia best in “Do Shapeshifters Dream of Electric Sheep?” The episode starts with Peter and Fauxlivia laughing and enjoying each other’s company during dinner. However, Fauxlivia has to take extreme measures to hide her identity. Of course she lies and hides evidence to subvert investigations, but at the end of the episode she coldly has Newton kill himself to protect the mission and, more importantly, herself. Afterwards, she seduces Peter. Does she have sex with Peter because she cares about him or in order to distract him from the truth? It’s a credit to Torv’s performance that, to this day, I cannot give a definitive answer even though I have watched season three multiple times.

While Fauxlivia is in our universe, our Olivia is brainwashed by Walternate to believe she is Alt-Olivia. Brainwashed Olivia might act like Alt-Olivia, but she is not an exact copy of her. Aspects of her original personality surface, as seen in “The Plateau.” Brainwashed Olivia laughs and teases Charlie, but she can’t tell Frank she loves him, and she forgets to follow environmental protocols. Brainwashed Olivia almost fools everyone, including herself, but Charlie’s misgivings show that Torv was able to make Brainwashed Olivia a separate character from the other versions of Olivia. By creating a new Olivia, Torv made Brainwashed Olivia’s journey to realizing the truth plausible and engaging. If Torv made the same choices in portraying Brainwashed Olivia as she did for Alt-Olivia, then the pill-popping would not have been credible.

At the end of season three, we get a glimpse of a possible future. The world is bleak, and multiple anomalies threaten to destroy our world. In this future, Olivia and Peter are married, and Olivia leads the Fringe division. Future Olivia is not just our Olivia with a new hairstyle. She has control of her Cortexiphan abilities, and the way she carries her body, stiffer and heavier than her younger self, indicates Olivia has been through many battles and trials. Her smile is not as bright because she is pessimistic about the future, which is why she is hesitant about having a child. Future Olivia only appears in “The Day We Died,” and she is not in the entire episode, yet Torv took the time to construct a fully realized Future Olivia, demonstrating again her dedication to her character and to the show.

'Fringe' exclusive: Lance Reddick on Funny or Die skit, show's future

'Fringe' exclusive: Lance Reddick on Funny or Die skit, show's future

Matt Carter, TV Examiner
January 19, 2012
Lance Reddick has certainly made a name for himself playing mysterious and even occasionally frightening characters on such shows as "The Wire," "Lost," and currently "Fringe," where he stars as Special Agent Broyles in one universe and Colonel Broyles in the other. Recently, though, we had an opportunity to see a completely new side of the actor courtesy of a new Funny or Die clip that features him as a shockingly inappropriate manager of a toy store. (If you haven't seen the video yet, you can to the left -- with a wwarning for language)

We recently had a chance to talk with the actor about taking on a more humorous role, the future of his Fox series, and how "The Wire" has managed to gain in popularity following the show's end.


Matt Carter: So you've been known through 'Lost' and 'Fringe' for playing some very mysterious characters -- so how did this whole idea [of doing something different] for the Funny or Die skit come about?

Lance Reddick: Honestly, I've been wanting to do some comedy for quite a while. I've done some comedy for the stage, but since I started to do a lot of television about 12 years ago I haven't done as much. But I love doing it.
[My involvement came thanks to] Chad Kultgen, the guy who wrote it. He was approached by Funny or Die to do it, and he was a huge fan of 'The Wire' so if he was going to do it he wanted to do it with me ... I had never met Matt before, and really the only thing he had sent me was the opening monologue. I was flipped -- I was like 'this is hysterical. I want to do this.'

So how long did it take you to shoot this?We started filming around 11 in the morning and we finished around 4. It was one of those things where they said 'whenever you have a break in your schedule, we'll set it up.' So when I happened to have about a week off from 'Fringe' -- my shooting schedule between episodes just so happened to fall like that -- I had my manager call them and we put it together.

So is this something that you could see yourself doing more of in the future?
Absolutely! I never thought of myself of being thought of as one type until 'The Wire,' and I always did stuff that was different. Granted, much of the stuff I did before that was still really intense (laughs), but it was still really different.

When you look back at 'Fringe' now versus where it was three and a half seasons ago, it's become one of the most complicated shows out there in between the alternate universes and what's happening with Peter right now. When you were starting out on the show, did you ever see any of this coming? Did [the producers] give you some sort of roadmap?
No. As a matter of fact, I think the show took a bit of a turn in the second season. I honestly don't think they were necessarily going to build alternate universes from the beginning. If they were, they just didn't tell me -- which is also possible. My character changed quite a bit from the first season to the second season -- honestly I feel like he became a lot less mysterious. So in the middle of the second season, you kind of knew that he was a good guy.
So in the second season we had the alternate [Colonel] Broyles, and then he died [in the] third season. And now he's back.

One of the things I wanted to specifically ask you about during season three. What was it like to have to play [Agent] Broyles looking at Colonel Broyles' dead body?
It was really surreal. I went in the day that we shot [the scene]-- and even though I went in and did the life mask and all that stuff -- until the day that we shot it I hadn't seen [the finished product] ... it was freaky. I wish I had a more eloquent way of putting it. It was almost like an out of body experience. You know when something happens that is so bizarre or so horrifying that your nervous system just short-circuits and disconnects? It was like that.
On the other hand, it's a great thing to play. (Laughs.)
